I have a super snotty nose and live in a cold place so I don’t wear it outside. I walk away or cover mouth when someone gets close. But I’ve read articles that give numbers ie. x% chance of getting it if you are within y feet for z minutes in an enclosed room, so I think me walking outside without a mask is not an issue, despite the dirty looks from lots of people.
Does AWS monopolize cloud services?

The complaint Parler filed in its lawsuit against AWS cites 30% market share. It also mentions they've been unable to find another hosting company, though it doesn't go into why. The antitrust claim wasn't that AWS cut them off. That was the breach of contract claim. The antitrust claim was based on allegations that AWS and Twitter just did a multi-year cloud deal, and conspired to shut Parler down. Section 1 anticompetitive conduct claim. IIRC, the relevant market was microblogging, not cloud infra.

The Nadler Committee report Glenn cites puts AWS at 24% of US spend and "close to half" of global spend on cloud services. US courts don't typically find "market power" below 50% in the relevant market. The concept of abusing "dominant position", mentioned over and over in the report, comes from European competition law, not US antitrust law.

Anecdotally, I use cloud services and I don't use AWS at all anymore. As an attorney who advises on terms of service for cloud services, I'd also expect every major cloud platform has broad "acceptable use" or similar terms that let them refuse or terminate customers that cause more problems---law enforcement requests, law suits, marketing crises---than they're worth.

A number of my cloud clients rack their own iron. Others intentionally seek out providers and services with permissive or aligned activist reputations. Those services often cost more, both because they're smaller and because they deal with more warrants, lawsuits, DMCA takedowns, &c. &c. &c. I personally prefer to patronize smaller, upstart providers. Which is only possible if you don't bite the hooks---k8s, vendor-specific APIs, and so on.

Measuring against Kotlin or other languages in this category like Scala is not the right thing to do. Also Kotlin is known for its slow compiler though JetBrains promised that the situation will improve. I would use Scala or Kotlin for everything data but when it comes to low-level networking/infrastructure I wouldn't even touch anything else but Go. Go is in the perfect sweet spot for this task. The Goldilocks Zone of network programming.

You have provided an exmaple (I assume, I didn't click the link because I have a productivity blocker which I obviously need to update for Hacker News, lol) of a bad thing on one platform, but not another. But ok, are there vice versa examples?

What I'm getting at is, I understand Parler is generally a right-leaning platform, and therefore the types of "hate" will be right-leaning. Twitter is a generally left-leaning platform, so I would expect their type of hate to be generally left-leaning. So I think a tweet about e.g. storming the Capitol being banned on Twitter but not Parler isn't good evidence that Twitter is better. Because, for example, perhaps a violent Antifa tweet would be left alone on Twitter but censored on Parler. Perhaps some ML bot can quantity sentiment of tweets. That's the kind of evidence I would like to see.

The introduction of generics would not change your workflow though. You could still happily "not use it" and keep matters readable. Others who wanted it, would use it.

If you own a building and find out that the owners of a bar that rents space in your building are allowing a terrorist group to plan an insurrection, are you allowed to cancel the lease and evict them? Sure seems like a breach of lease to me.
Sure. But why not replace it with something that is type-safe AND already has generics, like Rust? Why are we trying to get a do-over on Go?
That's not a workaround, that's a solution.
At one stage I was to some degree modulating the amount of caution I exhibited based on the case numbers both nationally and in my area.

I was trying to do a rough cost/benefit analysis in my head whenever there was social pressue to do something other than stay the hell out of everyone's way.

(Things have got bad enough in the UK since then that I'm now able to do the simpler thing - which is just stay the hell out of everyone's way. Much less taxing on the brain)
> If you own a giant bar, should you be able to close down a tiny bar next door because there is hate speech inside.

No, and I didn't suggest that.

> electric company

Regulated. The electric company is a regulated monopoly. Hosting companies aren't. If an ISP had banned traffic from Parler, that would be an issue, it is a regulated monopoly. If Amazon shuts them down, there's no issue, it is an unregulated service provider.
Court has nothing to do with elections, and never should.

Further, if the Court's took a chance to make a positive impact by defying tradiion, slowing things down, cracking open every last detail of process, bringing the truth to the light of day, and ensuring everyone was heard and had their concerns met fully to the point where no one could reasonably hold doubt.

It would have been unprecedented, and definitely controversial, but I'm certain it would have taken a lot of wind out of the sails of these things.
Facebook (has much more to do with the attack) YouTube and Twitter has tons of similar content to Parler. Tons! And nothing is done to them

I don't disagree.

But right now, it doesn't matter if I disagree or not. US law makes it very clear what responsibilities and rights publishers have.

Title 47 U.S. Code § 230 explicitly states that publishers are not liable for the content that their users post, with some minor exceptions related to sex trafficking.

They are also allowed to restrict whatever they like, whether it's constitutionally protected or not.
> What institutions are you claiming have shifted from "truth-seeking to progressive political advocacy"? ...the politicization of basic COVID precautions like mask wearing

The most glaring example of this was public health authorities pushing for shut downs of pretty much all public spaces (including of red-coded protests), but then turning around and giving the greenlight to BLM protests as critical to public health.

Another example is the imbroglio about vaccine prioritization, though that's more about values (is it worth saving more lives if the saved lives are disproportionately white?) than it is about factual claims.
"Excess deaths" measures the deviation from "normal." When that gets up into thousands per day, overtaking causes like cancer and heart disease, it's not "normal."
that is complicated. why don't they allow third party clients on their servers or third party servers on first party apps? reddit allows clients, matrix, irc, xmpp, even telegram has floss forks that work interdependently.

People seem not to realize that every action spawns a reaction by the other side

A change in wind direction would cause a reaction by this "other side". I would argue that the most recent actions are not those of completely mentally well folks who are going to respond well to rational discourse. And I don't think we should take marching orders from the mental delusions of insurrectionists. "I'm not going to do the right thing because the nutters on 'the other side' might take it wrong." Umm, no, I don't think so. We can just arrest the nutters later.

I’d go a step higher, the normative framework that informs our legislation is old and needs to be examined.

We support a market place of ideas because, it was argued that bad ideas would eventually be trumped by better ideas - only by examining bad ideas would we be able to move past them.

Part of that remains true today, but it does not account for the realities of mass communication.

The model ends up painting a passive, solitary image of ideas.

But ideas are neither passive, nor without context. Signal without context is noise.

Nor are brains neutral processors of information, they are vulnerable to psyops, malformed arguments, pressure, ignorance and emotion.

I have read propaganda, I have seen arguments which sound legitimate, but underlying it is xenophobia and hatred.

I know for a fact, that Popper was right and you cannot tolerate the intolerant.

They do not come to discuss or exchange ideas. They come to use your platform as an opportunity to gain followers.

And they use the gaps in our norms to create space for themselves.

Counter speech is not a panacea, it require conditions to work. If those conditions are not satisfied, the strategy fails.

The norms behind modern speech need to account for these trade offs.

The status quo comes with the trade off that partisanship will increase, more people will be radicalized.

This is the trade off, and people have to decide if they are willing to enjoy this trade off.

For the analogy to work it's not even enough for the roads to be used to commit crimes. The roads would have to be continuously re-routing you from your intended destination and taking you down roadways filled with signs inciting violence, cult indoctrination, and lies about reality.

The algorithmic curation of all social media platforms that is intentionally built to assault users with the most distasteful, extreme lies (because it's good for engagement!) is the real problem in my view. If every social media platform stopped all algorithmic curation/recommendation and simply presented a chronological list of updates from people you follow (and did not recommend who to follow), then I think the bulk of the problem goes away.

I have no problem with free speech (even abhorrent speech). But I have a problem when a person's online experience is controlled by algorithms specifically designed to ratchet up the garbage and inundate people with hateful rhetoric.
How to accomplish anything, get out of default mode, consistency
launchd sounds scary but it is not that hard to get an agent enabled. It's basically a plist file or two in the right place and a command to enable it. You can have launchd call your shell script once per minute.

I used this to good effect once to log the output of a few debug commands to text, commit that to a git repo, and move on. Then I could come back later and see what was going on before an issue happened on that system.

Here's some info on launchd to save you some searching: https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-launchd-run-scripts-on-sc...

Regarding finding the adobe process names, you can filter output of `ps aux` based on application path or name to get a current list process IDs and kill those.

In this particular case, watch out for getting into a launchd fight, where launchd is simultaneously killing adobe processes and also relaunching them because of Adobe's own launchd registrations.
I don't the know the details of that case (and I don't expect the WE reporter does either). It seems as if GoDaddy refused to continue hosting the site. That's quite different from providing just DNS for a server owned and administered by the organization.
> Prosecuting Epstine would have helped. Auditing the voting system would have helped.

Both of those things happened. The prosecutors indicted Epstein, but he killed himself before the trial could proceed. The voting system has been audited many times this cycle.

> Just show the movement that there nothing to hide rather than yell at them and appear to cover up.

The real issue is "the movement" doesn't like the true result. It doesn't matter to them how fair the process is, they'll reject it unless they get what they want.
How does any site in the US not run afoul of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? Surely color choices like this are an issue that someone can raise; see WCAG 2.0 AA. which talks about how there must be a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between all text and background.

Even W3C reminds people that colors are important.
There are personal threats, hate-y speech, and all sorts of borderline calls to violence on Twitter, as well. It's baffling to me how supportive people are of censorship (given that it'll affect THEM at some point eventually), but even more baffling how facile the rationalizations are. We're being cognitively selective when we say that Parler 'caused' or facilitated violence, and Twitter never has!

Software freedom requires the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose. That includes the freedom and right to connect to use it to connect to the Signal network. Moxie restricts that freedom, violating the spirit of free software. End of story. Your car analogy is irrelevant.

Maybe Signal is open source but not free software. That just shows how open source misses the point.

I don't care even a little bit about how you feel of the "tone" of my comment. You're being extremely disingenuous, and using terms like "guilt" and "crime" which do not apply to the current situation. The current situation is: Twitter as a corporate entity believes that Trump's tweets directly led to the events at the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election and directly incited violence. The vast majority of Americans agree, but Jack Dorsey's opinion is the only one that matters.

By your logic a mafia don who says "it'd be a lot better if [enemy boss] wasn't alive" resulting in an assassination didn't incite violence, and the responsibility should lie with the "people who did the crime" because people make their own decisions. This is a colossally stupid take.

Your post is full of straw man arguments and I'm not sure if you're being intentionally disingenuous, or just have a very poor understanding of political events in general and Twitter's ability to moderate their own platform. Come back if you want to have a real discussion.

I view a principle as being a belief held that one will hold the line on, even if to do so would be potentially costly. A principle isn't necessarily popular or just.

Optimizing for traffic, revenue, or whatever else is certainly a strategy but I don't think it's a principle in the sense of someone or some people having principles.

And I would add that the effective output of such a strategy, if it were the behavior of an individual, would probably be described as sociopathic.
I agree that "if laws are considered unjust, it is ok, even noble, to break them." But it is kind of dangerous position at the same time. I am sure, people who stormed the capital are sincerely believe that situation was "Unjust" for them.
> FWIW, I was also able to iperf3 around 3.7Gbps on a X520-DA2 connected to an RPi4's single-lane PCIe 2.0.

Yah, I said forwarding-- so each packet goes over the PCIe link twice.

So, to use your test-- 3.7 x 4 / 2 = 7.4gbps. I said around 7. 7.4gbps would be a bit more than I'd expect, but I'd not be shocked.

> I think perhaps we're not on the same page about the central hypothesis.

Yes, I agree. I think your response here shows that we're actually closer in agreement than it first seemed. That's my fault, I think. I don't think the lead hypothesis is bunk. (My initial comment perhaps made it seem like I was saying otherwise.) It has a lot of explanatory power. I also don't think we're in exactly the same position we were in the 90s, for lots of reasons.

But I do think the lead hypothesis lulled a lot of people into repeating the claim about falling crimes rates for so long that many of them have forgotten to check to see if it's still true. And while there are lots of interesting debates to be had about why homicides have been higher recently, the fact is that they have been!
I've thought about this often. My conclusion is that ~all humans "waste" time in some manner or other -- and that this is natural, probably necessary, and good.

The same argument can be made for sleep. And there might be a useful analogy there...

Psychologically "sleeping" (i.e. directing your energies in not-obviously-productive pursuits) bends your brain in a way that a relentless focus on "useful" work does not. This is probably true of all entertainment.

Objectively, the person who spends 500 hours getting a 6502 emulator working in JavaScript and then blogging about it, has added more to the world than the person who spends those same hours streaming The Simpsons.

...and also more than those of us who spend 500 hours reading the blogs of people who made crazy useless things happen...

But maybe the personal value of the diversionary time spent has some sort of parity..?
