> One parent told me that critical race theory was reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. “[It divides society between] the oppressor and the oppressed, and since these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only way to change it is via violent revolution,” the parent said. “Growing up in China, I had learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart; husband hates wife, children hate parents. I think it is already happening here.”

How do you find an item then? I've read numerous research studies that prove people still prefer navigation over search. Ofer Bergman has done a lot of work.
I was specifically mentioning 1,000km as the metric.

AWS latency isn’t great between regions. Looking on some other sites you can see London to NYC is 70ms, but that’s also 5,500km which is far behind the 1,000km mentioned. Ex: https://wondernetwork.com/pings/London

70ms /5.5 = 12.7 ms seconds round trip. The speed of sound is only 1,125 ft/s, and half that for round trips so 1,000km over fiber is the equivalent of ~7.14 feet apart in the same room plus whatever latency your personal computer and software adds.
You'd need a STX-collateralized relay service that would trade your xBTC for real BTC. The collateral would be burnt over time if the service misbehaved, such as by not doing outstanding trades in a timely manner. The collateral itself would live in a Clarity contact so it could validate proofs that the service sent BTC to xBTC sellers.
How to Build Self-Discipline and Find Motivation
It’s easy when politics doesn’t actually impact you. If you had relatives being deported or being shot by the police, it’s likely that you wouldn’t just tell your friends/family « sorry, i have no control over this »

I know it’s extreme but it’s the reality. For someone who is impacting by politics (say lost their jobs due to COVID), you can’t just stay on the sideline and ignore it.

You just have the great privilege of letting other people take care of that dirty work.

Is taking a news diet good? Absolutely. Lots of crap out there and a mental break is needed once in a while. But ignoring the suffering of people around you is just bad.
Again, very minor use case. Not worth expending effort on. I attempted to convince the lawyers that we should just yolo it because the product had no actual revenue.

Didn't go well.
It's only a "problem" for the 0.001-% who choose to view it that way. There's decades worth of large/serious/complex open source projects that have totally been monetised by other companies without the founders/maintainers feeling ripped off and butthurt about it.

Linux, GNU, Apache, Perl, Python, PHP, Rails, WordPress, and many many more projects at least as important and complex as Elasticsearch. We don't hear Linus or Stallman, or Larry or Guido or Rasmus or DHH or Mullenweg complaining about hosting companies profiting off their work.

I get that newer projects are structured differently, and that companies like Redis Labs and Mongo and Elastic are paying salaries to engineers to develop their software - which is _way_ different to the examples I cited above. But just because they've chosen that, doesn't mean they're "right" or entitled to succeed working that way. The optimist in me hopes some of them will, and perhaps this will be a route to the world getting "open source" software written that the old Apache project's model perhaps could never have achieved. I certainly don't think that's a given though.

The pessimist in me feels bait-n-switched, and is wondering how to plan on staying on 7.10 safely and keeping an eye out to see who's gonna fork it and at least keep up security work on it under Apache 2.0 moving forward. We don't "sell Elasticsearch as a service", but we use it enough that I don't want to ask for legal budget to mitigate the risk of upgrading away from the Apache 2.0 licensed version. I don't trust SSPL enough to want use anything licensed that way, and I doubt I'll be very happy with Elastic License either if I spend enough time to read/understand it properly...
Latency isn't physically solvable though. You'll need another network not the internet.
Not OP, but I’ve paid for tools like this in the past, such as DaisyDisk. I know the commands as well, but doing investigations into why I suddenly only gave 2 gigs of space left are often much easier for me when I can instantly see it laid out visually. I think I’m just a strongly visual person.

Looks really cool, keep going with it!

>I think morally he did. And he should be impeached for both that and his inaction in response to that.

And an impeachment trial is not an Article III court. Nor is it intended to be. It is inherently a political proceeding and not a criminal trial. As such, ethics and morals are certainly at issue and the rules of Article III courts are not relevant.

Nor did the founders intend[0][1] them to be criminal trials. Which is why someone who is impeached and convicted is not immune from criminal prosecution in an Article III court.

Leaving medium corp for big corp. I didn't give medium corp a real chance and I felt like I was on an island by my own. I should have reached out more. When big corp came along with more money I left. It was a mistake and I really regretted it for a while. Luckily, I landed somewhere I like (for less money).

In general, I wish I would have started earlier. I was afraid to learn to program because I felt I was bad at math. I think my teen self would have loved programming just as must I do today. It probably would have helped me do better in school. A lot of math concepts I didn't understand became easier as I studied programming.

I don't really regret any technology choices I have made developing something but I now regret investing so much time into a few things that never really took off (a game or two and an app or two). At the time I told myself that I was doing it for my own sake (I was) and that any traction would be a bonus. In retrospect, I should have put more time into understanding if I was really building something other people wanted.

You know what though? Setbacks are irrelevant. Unless you are actively trying to screw things up you probably acted on the information and best intentions available at the time. No sense beating yourself up over past mistakes.
It's a motte and bailey in the way it's socially used. The way it goes is, people will make fun of masculinity in general, and throw around "toxic masculinity" as a meme at any display or mention of masculinity. When challenged, they retreat to the motte of claiming they mean "toxic masculinity" purely in the academic sense.

In my view we should leave Section 230 alone, instead we should target the true incentive of bad behavior: the ad model. If it were illegal for companies that collect PII and track users across 3rd party sites to sell ad space on their platforms, all these companies would have to switch to a subscription model like Netflix, shifting the economic incentives to favor user retention rather than advertiser appetites. This means companies lose money when they ban people rather than make money by cutting their losses on viral bandwidth that's too toxic to monetize through ads.

I had a great aquafaba chocolate mousse in a restaurant in Haarlem (Netherlands). I think it was vanVeg on Zijlstraat. Unfortunately it's not listed on their menu and I'm not exactly going to try to pop over to the Netherlands during this pandemic to confirm my recollection.

Maybe politics keep popping up because it's a conversation that needs to happen?

Maybe it pops up here because people have at least a modicum of hope that there will be a productive conversation even amongst the various downvote brigades?

I post political comments because even when they get downvoted to -4, they still end up with a long list of replies and sub-tangents in response to them. I think that's a healthy thing.

I don't know if you noticed, but the situation around the US election got worse everywhere. Not so long ago #HangPence was trending on Twitter, and within the last 24 hours or so #HangTrump. That's trending - Twitter is actually promoting that!

Did you ever try a 45k$ sedan car before or are you comparing your tesla M3 to a couple years old Toyota Corolla? I also drove a tesla for a while and it didn't impress me. The acceleration is nice but it's not something you realistically care about in the long term (also acceleration kills your battery)

It seems pretty common that people compare Teslas with the car they had before. It's like comparing an entry dell laptop with a MacBook pro.

I think it's an immature car and most buyers are attracted to the brand appeal, and use it to appear next gen to their neighbors. As usual, no owner will recognize this but it's a well known phenomenon that manufacturers use against us.

These days, cars are generally scrapped at about 15 years.

Do you think Tesla has a commitment to that sort of longevity? People are always talking about theoretical reasons why electric cars should be more reliable. But if a Tesla is like a smartphone on wheels, who is using a smartphone from 2006?
This is great.

Now I wonder about performing together? Everything I've seen that looks like a live Zoom performance of 10-20 musicians is actually recorded separately (with a click track) and then edited together in a video to make it look like it's Zoom.

But now that the music quality is there... Zoom could conceivably broadcast a click track (e.g. the host's audio that would go to performers' speakers but not the audience's, or even the host being a conductor or lead performer), performers would play "solo" (without hearing each other), but then the central Zoom server would wait for and cache every performer's audio until they were all received, with a suitable buffer, and then output it mixed, to the audience, synchronized to the host's (click-track) audio (timecodes).

And unlike normal Zoom calls where it only ever transmits 1 or 2 audio streams (the loudest ones at the moment), it would always mix all of them.

It's probably complicated enough that it wouldn't be worth Zoom's effort, and also niche enough not to be worth a startup developing a separate product for it... but it certainly seems doable, no?
It’s more or less workable for local (metropolitan) networks.
You're stepping well outside the bounds of your analogy. Incoming email is like a social media feed, hence the comparison. It fails when you compare things like shadowbanning with spam, as I pointed out.

Going out onto the "dark corners" of the internet though, that would be equivalent, perhaps, to signing up for an equivalent email provider without a spam filter?

Nope, that doesn't work. Hard to tell what you could mean other than "my initial analogy didn't work so I'm going to move the goalposts".

>Parler's entire marketing schtick was that it was a haven for 'free speech' that might get you banned or fact checked on other networks.

Note that "free speech" in the US is far from absolute. And there is some speech that, if Parler (or anyone else) doesn't remove it, they can be subject to criminal (e.g., child porn, setting up drug deals, etc.) and/or civil (copyright violations) litigation.

As such, anyone who claims they don't moderate is probably lying, unless they want to go to jail, get sued into oblivion or both.

People are asking you why this counts as "on Bitcoin", and you've been saying throughout this thread it's because it has access to the Bitcoin ledger data. My point is that it pretty much sounds like you're using BTC as an "oracle" (and of course, you're using BTC as settlement, but that's a given, and also doesn't qualify as being "on bitcoin"). Stacks is a separate ledger that pegs itself to Bitcoin, not "on". "Smart contracts on Bitcoin" would be something that's entirely built on the Bitcoin ledger and every smart contract transaction is a Bitcoin transaction that settles.
I can get at least a couple of person-weeks worth of dev done for the cost of sending the email that results in attempting to convince the lawyers of _anything_.

Not to mention iMessage leaves an unencrypted database containing all texts on your computer if you use that computer to backup your iPhone (or if you have the computer linked to your iCloud account so that you can send/receive messages from it).

Cutting my first dovetails. After years of trying to find time I’ve committed to getting into the shop for at least a few minutes every day.

I’m starting with a simple single dovetail box. No lid.

I spent 25 minutes in the shop tonight cutting the second pin. So far both are a bit loose, and I went past a line but they don’t look like a rabid beaver went after them so I’m happy!

Hopefully I can string together a couple easy wins and build some more complex things later in the year.
There's so much stuff about the world that we don't understand and want to and that even trivial machine learning techniques can help us figure out. Yet, at least in my field (computer security), it has become incredibly difficult to publish research that applies machine learning without having some needlessly obtuse methodological twist to make it seem more complicated. Even low hanging fruit needs picking and I'm worried discoveries with intrinsic value are being left to rot in the name of feeling "scientific."
It is effectively very similar to copyright assignment as it gives Elastic basically the same rights they would have if they were assigned the copyright. The only difference is the contributor also gets those rights, but in reality the rights they keep are not that useful since the rest of the codebase is owned by others.

Why are the people who get banned so insistent on using services they claim are inherently unfair to them? Why not support companies that share your values?

Just spitballing here, but doesn't it seem that with the way things are going, Twitter/Facebook will become a silo for those who hold more left-leaning views and Parler/Gab will become a silo for those with more right-leaning views? I understand that there are some who only want to see their preconceived notions reinforced, but for those who are actually interested in an open dialogue and open discussion, aren't we losing something important if this is the result? It would certainly cause an already polarized populace to become more polarized, would it not?
