Obviously it depends which tax system(s) you have to deal with, but in some countries if you are fortunate to already earn over the tax free allowance from your day job, it doesn't matter how big or small the extra (donation) income is from your side-project - it will be mandatory to report it. So you can either comply, which has a cost, or not comply and risk whatever comes from that.
By building a wall across it perhaps?
Exactly, there definitely shouldn't be inaction. However, after BLM protests I've seen action only towards one side, which is exactly what led us here in the first place.
I'd consider myself an electrical engineer. How do you suppose you would transform and capture those vibrations to electrical signals with enough fidelity? I'm aware of techniques like perhaps laser diode self mixing. How will you do it in a way that cannot be detected even by experts?

What I'm getting at is: how do you capture those signals without the use of obvious silicon devices (so no MEMS or opamps or whatever)? I'd imagine you have to hide it in software somehow. Then how do you acquire that signal? A simple analog input pin to the ADC of a cheap microcontroller is not good enough.
>The fairest trade of them all is going to be between two people that can make an exchange without state interference and without feeling like the other person got more than they did, and tariffs interfere with that type of exchange.

Why does your definition of fairness include a clause about state interference? I don't think you can argue in good faith about whether or not governments can act to increase fairness if your definition of fairness excludes government action.

Trade will occur at any price between the value to the consumer and the cost to the producer. In a perfectly competitive market, the agreed upon price approaches the cost to the producer, and it will necessarily be the case that the consumer got more from it. Is that fair?

This is going to sound condescending, and I'm sorry about that, but you should consider adopting a principled set of economic beliefs rather than one based exclusively on your politics.
Slack has fantastic search. It has good filtering, sorting, and pagination, and has the right degree of fuzziness.

You're absolutely right that there is also a post-truth left, but this thread is focusing on the post-truth right wing. Incidentally, the fix--restoring integrity to epistemological institutions--solves for both the post-truth right and the post-truth left.
Actually just checked and it's 24gb of ram which makes more sense. I'm on Windows on this computer. I have Fedora on my other. I honestly never hear the fan on this computer at all, it barely runs, and when it does it's very silent. It feels like we're talking about 2 different computers.
Yes, of course I have, and so has Moxie. In his classic essay on why Signal will not be federated, he clearly explains why he does not believe that this is a good approach.

That's a taller order than it appears. Political parties are, at core, freedom of association: you and I agree to put our differences aside in support of the things we overlap on. I'll support your things if you support mine, and we'll both oppose the others. Once we reach 50% of the people to make that bargain, we'll win everything.

Subverting that isn't easy without giving up something that seems necessary. You can eliminate majority rules. You can eliminate freedom of association. You can eliminate voting. Even term limits don't help: you can eliminate the politician but not their constituents, who will find somebody equivalent to send.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not as simple as "eliminate political parties". Even if you could wish them away with a magic wand, they'd come right back.
In fact Atlassian have a module for this that plugs into Confluence which looks and feels a lot like SO. Trying to find the module name. It might just be called "Questions". I think this is the one we use [1]

Large and established businesses hire high-paid high-skilled workers to coordinate their legal affairs, maintain their accounting, manage their public image, and control their finances.

None of those things are part of the core business or product differentiation. Yet large corporate orgs still expend enormous amounts of resources on those activities. In fact in most companies the second highest-paid executive is the COO, which pretty much just means the guy in charge of all non-core activities.

I think the simple answer is that most corporates are highly risk averse. Being in startup culture blinds you to this. Startups are comfortable with existential threats in the background, because they're constantly on the verge of failure anyway. They might neglect their liability, public image, or cloud TOS risk. Fast innovation in the core product is a far higher priority for a hypergrowth startup.

In contrast, large and mature organizations are going to be extremely sensitive even to small risks. The typical large company is slow-growing but highly profitable. The number one priority is to avoid killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

Think of the most conservative, bean-counting , button-down loan officer in suburban Topeka. Once "Cloud TOS Risk" enters the business lexicon, said beancounter is likely going to insist that the company in question has a plan, before releasing the tens of millions in loan refinancing that modern corporate America relies on in their leverage capital structures. It doesn't matter how big of an actual risk is. These processes are driven by "check-the-box" CYA theatre.

Or, people are just inconsistent and not thinking about things beyond their politics.

People will praise the Arab Spring organizing on Twitter without considering the implications for the events at the Capital on Jan 6th.

People are fine with Parler getting banned by all their vendors for not moderating violence and threats. But people would loose their minds if the same thing happened to Facebook for their failure to moderate violence around the Rohingyan genocide.
Looks US-only?
In the US there are two mobile OS options (Android and iOS) with a combined 99.8% market share. And large companies like Microsoft (Windows Mobile), Amazon (Fire OS), and Samsung (Tizen) haven't been able to grow their market share, so the barrier to entry seems pretty high.
Many comments here mentioned free speech though constitution only stipulates that congress should make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Surely a person is within his rights to reject such protest happening in his own backyard when it comes to the right to assembly. Why can't Apple, a private company, forbid an app from its own appstore? It is a matter of monopoly, if Apple, Google and Facebook alike are acting like market regulators, since they together owns the market itself when it comes to mobile app consumption, which is traditionally something only the government is capable of doing.
I remember thinking something similar about my Java 1.4 codebase back in the early 2000s. It's fine, right? What could I be missing?

The answer is: A lot.
The so-called 5 Gb/s PCIe 2.0 lanes are in fact 4 Gb/s lanes.

Ethernet speeds are given in data bits per second, while USB 3.0, PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 add in their speed values the extra bits used for encoding.

On the other hand, 10 Gb/s USB and 8 Gb/s PCIe 3.0 have really those speeds. Complicated :-(

One PCIe 2.0 lane is more than enough for 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet, but not enough for 5 Gb/s Ethernet or 10 Gb/s Ethernet.
> it's time to regulate large platforms like utilities.

Not if we aren’t first regulating lower levels of the internet infrastructure that way. Starting with ISPs, DNS providerd, etc. And even if we were doing the lower levels, it still wouldn't be, but we might relieve the perceived need.

What amount to algorithmically assembled personalized magazines, like all the newsfeed-focussed social media outlets, are pretty much the least utility-like and most-media-outlet like (hence, the name) parts of the internet, and regulating them like state-directed utilities makes as much sense as treating the New York Times as a state-directed utility.
Yeah, I think the real solution here is: let's make chat permanently archived and searchable. I find it more useful searching through Slack for old conversations around a topic than searching Confluence for the same.
Lack of contrast makes the page nearly unreadable.
Would this law also apply to LeBron James when he “incites” black youth by claiming black people “are hunted everyday” by the police? A fact check would show the statistics don’t support such a claim. It’s clearly dangerous speech that needs to be moderated. Why does the left assume nobody has any agency over their own actions?

I try to commit my code granularly and leave myself some comments. I check my commit logs to figure out where I was to quickly get back to it.
Twitter was closing ISIS accounts a lot. Twitter was not "free speech except illegal" platform for ISIS at all.
Just thinking about this for a minute, maybe 16:9 panels are cheaper because they're more efficient to cut from the mother-glass? If the mother-glass is some compatible multiple of 16:9 in order to cut full-size (40" and above) TV's from, maybe cutting 16:10 14" laptop displays from it wastes more glass than cutting 16:9 14" displays from it?

At any rate, it seems like we all agree that 16:9 is a rubbish aspect ratio for a laptop screen. I can't wait for Lenovo to release a 16:10 version of my X1 extreme.
Just one example from your link:

> Especially in the early weeks of the German offensive, many thousands of Jews were murdered by members of local communities in the western parts of the previously Soviet zone, such as the Baltic countries, eastern Poland, and western Ukraine.

I am absolutely not trying to paint a complex situation in black and white. The article you linked to also points out how many non-jewish poles were killed, how many non-jewish poles helped jewish poles at great risk to themselves, etc. but the idea that you can “other” collaborator poles out of being poles is denying the reality.
I would concur with your critique.

There are vast swathes of counter-examples to the article, to the point where I don't think that, given the business framing of the OP, the article actually holds water outside of "some people glue useless things on and it's a pain to deal with", which is sort of... known already?

> The act of simply showing up, no matter how you feel or what else you need to do, is hugely powerful. Anthony Trollope was a prolific English novelist who published 47 novels while maintaining a “regular” full-time job. He did this by committing to write 250 words every 15 minutes every single day. He did that every day, without fail, and achieved amazing results.

How the hell does one write 250 words every 15 mins every day while having a job.
Let's set aside the distinction between free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment vs. the broader free speech ideal that's foundational to our society, since it isn't even needed: as suggested by the objections from Germany, France, and Mexico noted by Greenwald, these corporations are effectively acting as the government, so the reasoning behind the First Amendment's existence directly applies here.

(This is not an endorsement of the delusional presidential behavior that created the leadership vacuum filled by the corporations.)
That "12 minutes ago" has insufficient contrast is still a valid critique from an accessibility standpoint, even if the design choice seems reasonable at first. There will be sight-impaired people who struggle to consume those "age" snippets, as opposed to perceiving them as legible but de-emphasized.
That's encouraging. I haven't had the same experience yet, but I haven't worked for someone who pays for full search history.
We use Discord, and have 2 channels for each game we're workin' on. 'Updates' and 'Chat'

Announcements you want everyone to see go in 'Updates' So if you finished a feature or are starting work on a feature, or have a doc to show everyone...

Everyone working on that project will have notifications turned on for the projects 'Updates' channel and will read everything on it.

All general chat about the project and also responding to and chatting about stuff in 'Updates' channel happens in chat channel.
The US is responding to asymmetrical access. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram et al have been blocked for years in China. As of this week I'm ok with that but I digress. Apple's the only foreign cell phone maker that's really done alright in absolute dollar terms, but their market share is rather small. Access to the tantalizing "rising chinese middle class" is tantalizing and highly conditional.

Sorry, when I said new data structures, I meant containers like maps and list, which I very rarely get to create day to day.

I can see it for your transformations, but I have seldom seen cases where generics would really help (usually we're talking about comparing complex structure types that will need custom code anyway).
Those would be most likely different SKUs. The parts have to be still imported and money would have to change hands.

In a number of countries there are legal provisions to prevent cutting access to vital resources for non payment.

E.g. in winter times booting out renters or cutting heating/electricity is forbidden. Applying the same for internet isn’t far fetched anymore IMO.

You are saying that social censure is no longer something that humans need to worry about. That the concept of is a free exchange of ideas is antiquated, and that the principle of letting people learn from their debates was only valid a hundred years ago? All because of some tech algorithms?
>No. Public health authorities did not "greenlight" anti-lockdown protests, as they rightly shouldn't have.

At this point, I'm not sure what you even mean about public health official greenlighting protests. Both protests were allowed to happen. Both had parts of protests that were preplanned and parts that weren't. Are you just talking about the comments Fauci made in an unofficial capacity?

>Even if this were the case (I'd be curious to see cites of actual papers), that indicates a failure on the part of public health authorities: they should have been greenlighting the anti-lockdown protests as consistent with public health, so long participants masked appropriately.

That appears to be an argument about saving lives versus returning to normal. They aren't arguing that the vaccine should be given to people from diverse backgrounds just because. They are arguing that essential workers getting vaccinated is more important than getting the elderly vaccinated. They are simply noting the essential workers have a "high proportion of minority, low-income and low-education workers" which means they often aren't valued politically as much as other groups. Either way, they were only talking about recommendations that have no real power in deciding what happens with prioritization.
Not OP, but I use WhatsApp statuses frequently. You can set privacy settings down to individual people.

Most of my statuses are photos I take from my phone, when I'm out cycling, making some food, or even a link to an article in find interesting. I like that they are removed after 24 hours, and no pressure to edit the photos beyond simple filters. No pressure like when you post a photo on Instagram.

> unwanted third party making demands on my information input

It seems like we want the same thing. If we don't have any kind of moderation, then that filtering is pushed out to each and every leaf node, instead of being handled centrally, and this is a huge demand on my attention for information input. Do you remember how bad email spam had gotten before we developed effective server-side spam filtering? Email had become basically unusable.

I don't know of any, but I am also not sure that the distinction of "single cause" is important.

The deaths above expected will tell the full story. How many days were there 4,000+ deaths above expected? Probably quite a few, but less than people think.

Chat will become the primary method of communication and will be where most work gets done. Other systems will exist sure eventually hackers will build tools for them to be interfaced with via chat clients. This has been happening for many years.

We're so far down in the comments I forget who's arguing for what but I don't think that case is relevant.

That case gave rise to the "fighting words" doctrine or test which has (thus far) only been applied (successfully) to speech that is so vulgar or offensive as to provoke violence. A good representative example is the recent Twisted Tea smackdown video that made the rounds. If a police officer had swooped in and arrested the instigator before he got hit the arrest likely would have been kosher under the doctrine because the n-word is generally so vulgar you don't expect to be able to use it in that manner and not start a fight. Basically it's used to justify arresting someone for speech so inflammatory that even though you are not picking a fight someone is inevitably gonna pick a fight with you whether you want one or not.

I can't think of any case where it was used to prosecute someone for calling for "adjacent to violence" type behavior. I am unaware of any cases (that have not been overturned) where fighting words doctrine was used as a justification for suppressing political speech. If you know of any examples I'd be interested to read them.
I can’t find the exact link right now that breaks this down, but basically the ONLY profitable new construction to build is luxury buildings, which by definition are at the top end of the market (and even with a premium, because they’re new!). There was a case study about this in LA.

Over time, older buildings become cheaper until they’re either renovated or razed and replaced with new construction. But it’s a cyclic process: new construction is expensive, and gets less expensive relative to other newer units over time until it is renewed.

Now, there’s still a ton of unmet demand from people moving into cities: this pushes all prices in the market up. And unfortunately, (covid era excluded) there’s just so, so, so much demand from people moving to SF/NYC/LA/Seattle/etc that even if we removed all zoning restrictions and started building at a furious pace, cities probably wouldn’t be able to meet demand across the economic spectrum for another few decades. Covid may affect this in some way in the short term, and other trends may affect this in the mid-long term (we did have suburban exodus once before in US history).

One way to address this problem is to massively fund public transit infrastructure projects inside the city and in surrounding metro areas. Tokyo has ~30 million residents is relatively expensive for Japan, but living even a 20-30min subway/train ride from the city center is actually surprisingly affordable compared to other international cities. Seoul is similar. Chinese cities have similar infrastructure systems, but I can’t speak to how that affects affordability because there are other economic/political factors at play. But that seems tragically unlikely to happen in the US.
