I for one have been a huge fan of platforms like Kubernetes, because at least they abstract the cloud away from specific providers to some degree. Had they additionally used IPFS for storage, switching cloud providers wouldn't be much of a burden at all. Most enterprises building redundancy also have to think of what happens if one of their cloud providers go offline.

The problem is that many companies are so invested in AWS that they don't know anything else. Many companies are building their entire IT around AWS. In that regard, unless we create legislation that requires unified APIs and an open standard for cloud services; then we are going to have to start treating cloud providers like utilities.

I supported Twitter kicking Trump off its platform. I think AWS kicking Parler off is practically crossing the line, and that legislation needs to be made to tell cloud providers that they need to create an open standard for their services or be considered an essential utility.
On Number 2. Calibers to consider due to their prevalence:

1. .22lr - Doesn't pack too much punch but it's good for hunting small game. It's very easy to stock >10,000 rounds of this ammunition.

2. 9mm - Most common handgun caliber in the world and has a high enough muzzle energy to be useful over longer distances with a rifle or carbine length barrel.

3. .308 - Most common hunting cartridge and packs a huge punch. It's effective range is 800m and can drop a moose.

4. 12 Gauge Shells - Any engagement under 100m is where 00 buckshot shines. Shotguns are absolutely gruesome close up and much more effective than many other options. Super cheap as well.

5. 5.56 / .223 - This is the cartridge used by most AR15 pattern rifles in the hands of both the military and law enforcement.

Note: Buying ammo is super difficult/expensive right now since the start of covid and the protests in June. It'd be best to stick to .22lr and 12 gauge if you don't already have a supply..
I agree I just have to assume people comparing Rust to c++ never really used c++ professionally for any length of time. Rust is incredible simple coming from c++ there is normally only 2 or 3 ways to do something vs 5 + 4 more via templates. It takes longer to learn the symbols for lifetimes then to get a grasp of what you need to do to keep the borrow checker happy.
> Now, it's proven that they can effectively exercise the power in a major way, and that's news.

Honestly, it's really not. We've seen groups like ISIS kicked off social media, for example, and no one blinked an eye. Heck, Milo Yiannopoulos was deplatformed way back in 2016.

The thing that's news is that a significant percentage of a major US political party is now associated with a form of right wing extremism and wrapped up in a major conspiracy theory movement whose adherents are willing to commit violence in an attempt to subvert an election.
>This appeared to be during the initial peaceful protest; they were not all Nazis, and I doubt that even 0.1% of them were. Read the room.

If I show up at a protest and someone is carrying a Confederate flag, I am leaving. Full stop. No more excuses, no more "but some are good people!".

If you are hanging with Neo-Confederates in political spaces, you are at best a sympathizer and at worst a silent Neo-Confederate.

If I see a neo-Confederate at a political rally toting a Confederate flag and I am in that group, I am going straight home and evaluating my opinions.

As I've understood, (correct me if I'm wrong) one of the main concerns is that you end up with a protein that interferes with other functions of the body in unexpected ways. So I guess it would be prudent to go through phase 1-3 trials again.
I definitely agree with this. The one thing that I hoped would prove useful from these programs vs IRC was the idea of a persistent, searchable, history. However my experience has been not great. Searching history often just brings up unrelated snippets of conversations I didn't have any interst in, in channels I never chatted in. It's just more clutter.
It’s more difficult to use and build light clients for. Importing a private key requires a full rescan unless you remember when you created the key in order to rebuild your balance and limited history. It’s relative unpopularity compared to bitcoin means the network effect is weaker. And major exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini fear regulatory impact so it’s less supported.

That said Monero is my favorite cryptocurrency :)

ERPNext is just using FOSS as a reason for being mediocre. They tick all the feature list that proper ERP may required, none are tested, lots of bugs, most are solved to introduce more bugs. Usability achieved once you know the bugs and start to live with it.
Have you seen xps 15 7590? It's almost slightly larger at 15" and Intel 9th gen. Otherwise you can max it out pretty much to the same specs. The only other major difference is mobile nvidia rather than just Intel. But it's been out for quite a while and you can even catch some outlet offers.

i'm not aware of any ISPs that have taken that step in the US, but since the 2017 repeal it is now a legal business strategy. it has happened in portugal (although that's irrelevant to US law) -- customers get a base package and need to pay extra for the "social media package" (which unlocks twitter and facebook) or the "streaming package" (which unlocks netflix, youtube, etc.) (this is on top of the subscription fees you pay for netflix, etc.).

You are taking that quote from Schmidt out of context which removes the nuance. He isn't simply saying, "let's give the vaccine to brown people". But if you are going to use the excuse to stop explaining yourself because we'll never see eye to eye than I might as well stop putting any effort into this conversation too.

Can a chat platform be built on SMTP, and what would be the implications of that? Has that been done? I think email has so many things going for it, and I wonder to what extent it has been rejected as a platform because it is too open.
You are not wrong.

The difference, in my opinion, is that reddit, etc are quite active in removing such "communities" once they are aware of them and they become a problem.

Parler does not. In fact, to me, it seems they take delight in it and promote it under the guise of "free speech".

So while reddit and co undoubtedly have similar problems they at least take action albeit a lot later than I think they should.
If you march alongside a nazi, you are one. If you support a nazi, you are one. If you support a president who separates children from their parents and puts them in prison camps you are one. If, for all that, you are willing to steal an election and terrorize your elected officials, build gallows outside the building and enter if with plastic handcuffs, you most definitely are one.

> Maybe you think there's nothing remotely weird about that. I do. Maybe you think no other administration would have had multiple briefings from law enforcement by now. I don't.

I do not. I would expect that in any terrorist incident, like 9/11 or others, that the President would be orchestrating a response. Clearly the President has been implicated in these things so that's not going to happen. You have Congress preparing impeachment documents and the FBI has responded to journalists, many of which created immediately hostile narratives about law enforcement. I do not know what else you're expecting them to do at this point.

If I were the FBI I would not be saying anything either. I'd have agents out in the field collecting evidence and arresting people, getting the story and having them turn in their coconspirators. If you make some sort of statement it prompts them to destroy evidence.
In order to stop seeing "millions of new cases", every source of new cases should be reduced.

International travel is an orderly place to apply a filter, just as hospitals test all admits (even those without symptoms).

Blocking all visitors from specific places – even places with lower rates of prevalence than here! – was silly theater. This is actually well-targeted to reducing the interactions of the likely-infected with the uninfected.

(If a city or state/province even wanted to set up internal borders, & require on-the-spot quick antigen tests to enter regions of actual or attempted-infection control, perhaps even anonymously, that'd also be a well-targeted intervention far better than the other theater we've been fed so far.)
Well, it would've decreased the chances of a more infectious strain becoming widespread in the US if it had been implemented months ago. It could decrease the chances of worse strains that might originate outside the US becoming established moving forward.

What qemu-user makes so special for me is that is can be pre-loaded by the kernel, allowing any foreign arch chroot to directly work, nice for containers¹. I've not read if this here does support it, too.

Yes, most likely. Eviction is a legal process, involving the courts. Did that happen with Parler?
Usually that varies by legal department.

Attorneys who sue or investigate people for a living want everything forever, and those who get sued want to delete email before it arrives.

Email is a great way to get in trouble, as people tend to say dumb things, even about things that they have nothing to do with!

Every time I look at one of these I get anxieties...

At first because they look so easy, clean and productive (just 5min!), but then because I try to get specific answers, like: what drives the schema? Can I use websockets with this? What problems does it solve that others don't? Why does a simple CRUD application need GraphQL integration? Why are there emojis everywhere? Why does it feel like their intentions are unclear?

Then I close the tab and leave with an empty feeling.

Lars Bak (and others) founded a startup that tried to use a Smalltalk VM for embedded systems: OOVM. See for example: http://esug.org/data/ESUG2003/lars@2bbak@2besug.pdf

There‘s also a Master‘s thesis about the implementation: https://verdich.dk/kasper/thesis.html

And another overview: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.84...

Among other things, Lars Bak worked on the StrongTalk VM that became the Java VM. And he is/was behind the V8 JavaScript engine.

For a while they seemed like very competent apolitical people who would take care of this problem for you.
It reads like the immune isn't forgetting anything, they just "flood" the system with the proteins that the antibodies would normally attack in nerve cells or brain, thus giving the antibodies another target to "keep them busy".

It sounds like they are creating large quantities of the "offending" protein via the vaccine mNRA mechanism in normal cells. Normally the antibodies/T-cells would attack the myelin coating of nerves and the brain but with the protein being abundantly available anywhere the immune cells are "kept occupied" and leave nerves and brain alone.

If this treatment works as I understand, you would need continuous refreshers each time the mRNA injection is depleted.

It looks a lot like the author of this article formed an opinion about Python based on a frustrating experience with a poorly-documented library, a fondness for other languages and maybe some misconceptions or lack of knowledge, not just about the Python programming language, but about programming in general.

First, I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the discussion about OOP. Smalltalk has classes just like Python does. True, the former allows multiple inheritance, which is not at all required in whatever kind of class you want to design. In fact, like a lot of other OOP or OOP-like languages, you can utilize other schemes to extend the behavior of classes (composite classes, decorators, etc).

But the discussion of libraries (there's a library for everything in Python!) and the particular rant on the poorly documented library gave me ... more pause. Libraries and lots of useful libraries is one of things that makes Python a "batteries included" language choice.

After finishing the article, I realized that the article was all about how frustrating it was trying to use it that library was. And how poor the documentation was. But truthfully, these gripes can be found in any programming language implementation of a ... thing.
Why should AWS care though? It's infrastructure. They should not be disconnecting service just because the infrastructure is used for something they perceive as evil. It would be like Verizon automatically dropping calls if you make a phone call and try to say something evil to the person on the other line.
Sadly I don't know a good solution either, and I'm with you that it's not all bad. It's a complex problem for sure.
for what its worth, there is a much better scoped ViewOnlyAccess managed policy that makes a much better distinction about what is reasonable read-only access (ecs:listClusters) and not reasonable read-only access (dynamodb:Query)
Right. That's why you should set the SameSite attribute on session cookies.

I must second this. I've always viewed frameworks as a joy to my work, as long as there is no magic involved. I develop quite a few mini apps and I find less opinionated frameworks like Express for Node or Flask for Python an absolute dream. The packages on Node can get unwieldy but nothing bad enough to warrant a long term negative outlook.
Yes, my mistake, and unfortunately your reply came an instant before I could delete my post to avoid wasting everyone’s time here.
> Well, yea, but that's the point of my whole comment - Node could have a Django or Rails equivalent after ten years, don't you think?

It's not that such a thing hasn't been developed, but that by the time such a thing gets developed (for example: [0]), NodeJS devs have already decided they don't like gulp (even though just last week gulp was the new thing vs. grunt), they like webpack; they don't like AngularJS, they like React (or VueJS now); etc.

Almost feels like the JS ecosystem is plagued by people who want to rise to dev stardom by making the next big framework, and they spend a LOT of time trying to convince people their thing is the next best thing since sliced bread. I've seen grown up devs abandon stacks that were perfectly fine to spend years migrating to the new thing — granted this happens more at larger companies where resume building sometimes overtakes business needs.

Hi, We’ll add this to the design pipeline. The site is intentionally left aligned as we felt it worked best for readability and responsiveness. However, as you pointed out, the left aligned, one column design is a little unconventional.
I think this is exactly how scuttlebutt private messaging works.
That is one perspective, although it’s very limited in its nuance. A lot of people supported BLMs pre-violence protests because they wanted police held accountable. And a reasonable person can discuss whether the violence would have escalated if the police hadn’t been so aggressive.

Compare that to the Capitol insurrection, where the goal was to overturn the results of an election. To overturn the government. Where the people inciting the violence were in the same tent.

There was never good intent on the side of the insurrection it’s, and they escalated to violence on their own.
Not at the moment.

I was just starting towards a migration from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 when Red Hat made their announcement so I put that on hold and decided to stick with 7 for now.

In about six months or so, I'll look at which of these new RHEL 8 clones actually have something to show off and start making a decision from there. No point in chasing something which is currently vaporware and may still be half a year from now.
I've tried https://github.com/xeals/signal-back and it's 95% of the way there but could use more attention - maybe it's my backup but the xml-formatted convos were formatted differently than the ones that the sms backup/restore app emitted. I compared just to sanity check it would import correctly but currently I'm unsure if it's a good idea.

FWIW it's nice to have a plain text backup anyway, and a lot better than nothing. Maybe it works fine but I'd rather not import a backup that has "weird" results.
Basecamp does this well, especially version 2, which integrated with email. With version 2 you could have topics in Basecamp which you could post directly do or email and it was searchable and linkable. It was even possible to post messages which were optionally emailed to clients, with their response becoming part of the thread history. Really the best of both worlds. Unfortunately they removed the email feature in Basecamp 3 (and my company upgraded) so we can't do that anymore, but older projects retain their history.
The best guess on Wikipedia for attendance at the protest seems to be around 30,000. An upper bound of 0.1% is 30 people.

In addition to the literal neo-Nazis in attendance, there were also plenty of groups — such as Proud Boys — that may not be technically neo-Nazis themselves, but are definitely Nazi adjacent; I don't think it's a particular stretch to put them under the Nazi umbrella.

Given all that, 30 seems like a real lowball.
I love my X1 Gen 7, but the black soft-touch coating started peeling within a week of buying it. I hope they've fixed that because it is otherwise my favorite laptop I've ever owned.
I actually switched to Windows, and I use WSL2 to run a really seamless Linux shell that lets me do all my dev work.

So far it really has been the best of both worlds.. For my particular work, I haven't missed my Mac at all.. The developer experience has been basically identical.

The biggest downside I know about is the cost. It's insane even though i have really great insurance. Gilead does reimburse but it takes like 6 weeks or more. A low income person can't be out almost 2k for that long. Medicade/care is also a pain especially those most at risk, IV users, etc. Hopefully I've heard it goes generic soon.

I feel like we are 5-15 years away from being able to eradicate or relegate sadly to the developing world only.
But the segregation of bus lines was mandated by law in Alabama at the time, so it was a government action.
I'm a Thunderbird user, but I don't really think that there's a clear winner in that comparison. Outlook has features that Thunderbird has been missing for over a decade, like reliable send-in-background (and other database operations in background unlike Thunderbird that likes to interrupt you to ask permission) and a far more mature calendar product.
I agree that this is a limit on corporations’ free speech. Monopolistic corporations do have a well founded legal limit to their free speech rights.

For example, it’s a form of free speech for Microsoft to decide how they write their own software. One of those decisions was to bundle a free web browser in with their OS and tie the OS function tightly together with that browser. Microsoft Corporation was almost broken up by the government because they did that.

The issue that Greenwald is raising is similarly rooted in anti-trust;

> If one were looking for evidence to demonstrate that these tech behemoths are, in fact, monopolies that engage in anti-competitive behavior in violation of antitrust laws, and will obliterate any attempt to compete with them in the marketplace, it would be difficult to imagine anything more compelling than how they just used their unconstrained power to utterly destroy a rising competitor.

Freedom of speech is not absolute. Just like individuals’ free speech rights have limits such as incitement to violence, corporations also have limits to their “free speech” rights based in anti-trust law and anti-racketeering laws in how they can attack potential competitors.
> On the other hand, do we really want a handful of unelected billionaires deciding what is acceptable speech

Elected billionaires (and millionaires/thousandaires) don't do much better.
Just to clarify, the linked article isn't really talking about false positives. It's talking about people who are carrying the virus, but perhaps aren't contagious due to it being only small amounts.
