It's silly to think that smaller portion of working age population -> worse employment prospects. That process is very possible but relies on higher order effects.

You can't just blindly apply the economics of traditional liberal economies to a 21st century high tech illiberal economy.

You are right that 4 PCIe 2.0 lanes have an aggregate speed of 16 Gb/s (even if in marketing speak they would be wrongly called as 20 Gb/s), which is not enough even for two 10 Gb/s ports, but only for one.

However, that is not due to being a cheap hobbyist board, but due to Intel, who have not provided their Atom line of CPUs with more lanes or with faster lanes.

Only the Elkhart Lake and Jasper Lake CPUs, which have been just launched by Intel as a replacement for the Gemini Lake Refresh CPUs used in ODROID H2, are the first Intel CPUs of the Atom series that have PCIe 3.0.

I don't know what news outlets you were following, but medical reports were indicating a case fatality rate around 0.3% by April. This works out to something like 1 in 300.

Since the fatalities skew heavily toward the elderly, in practice this means if everyone catches Covid, most people are unlikely to have a close personal friend or relative who dies as a result of the disease. Sounds not too bad, right?

A fatality rate of 0.3% also means that if everyone in the United States catches it, a million people will die. We're coming up on the equivalent of a 9/11 every day (though again, skewing heavily toward the elderly). You can't rely on personal experience to put these kinds of numbers into perspective.
because they didn't call for a violent overthrow of the government but a peaceful jazz fest like they had 9 years prior. they are calling for an occupy wallstreet 2.0

the stuff that parler was leaving up was outright sedition and calls for violence.
So I get that they call it "architecture-less" because it doesn't choose between "shared nothing" and "shared disk" architectures and thus can pivot from OLTP to OLAP.

But I have a different OLTP vs OLAP "architecture" question.... is it row-based or columnar? Is it "architectureless" in that regard also? Are they going to store data persisted both ways so you get the worst of both worlds performance-wise or is there still an OLAP vs OLTP architecture choice there?

I suspect there are still some architectural choices here!
> When it became undeniable that the traffic was connected to actual terrorism, other sites acted swiftly to cut it off.

Remind me when the politicians who promoted the Antifa and BLM riots and actually set up funds so the protestors would be bailed out had their accounts "indefinitely suspended" for doing just what you're describing as the reason Parler got shut down.

How do you suggest prosecuting those crimes?

If I threaten to kill you, or commit fraud, in person, you call the police, give them what information you have about me, and ideally I get a knock on the door. If I do it online, well, you don't have much recourse.
On thing I love about Telegram is how easy the bot API is. Anytime I need a quick personal CLI to a service that works on mobile, I can get it running in no time. For example, I wrote a script to check flight prices and send me a telegram message when it hit a certain threshold.

Given their branding around privacy, I do wonder if it makes any sense for Mozilla to consider offering a chat messaging service along similar lines
thanks for your advices.
Almost none of my conservative friends used Parler. It really was a ghost town until Twitter banned President Trump and many signed up, hoping they could read posts from him there, but he was never on Parler.

As for the surge in encrypted messaging, yes, a lot of this is conservatives no longer willing to use Facebook and Twitter out of anger or fear. Of my conservative friends, I would say that at least half have moved to platforms like Wickr and Signal in the last week. They are using it to replace private Facebook Messenger chats.
Well, got to remember, when there were far fewer cases, tests were still in prototype phase, not widely available, and in some cases unreliable (I think a lot of the Japanese cruise passengers that got the WHO test tested negative, then later came down with it after being released).
I remember that page as something I can't read and will tell everyone I know about how horrible it is. Is that really what "designers" want?
The major difference is the first proposal separated interfaces from concepts, later proposals (very wisely) unified them. Only concepts could be used in type constraints.

They also switched from parenthesis () to square brackets [], thankfully.
In history class the mentioned inventor was the city state of Ugarit on the coast. About 40 years later they were conquered by the Jews as a pagan city of the Canaanites. The writing system was adopted immediately and became the original writing system of the Hebrew language. Some time later it was adapted by the Greeks and the early Latins adapted it from the Greeks. Some few pre-Hebrew writing samples have survived to modern time but there aren’t many since its was wasn’t widespread and was present for only a small slice of time.
If that's the price of reigning in US tech giants, so be it. Make planes and flight more expensive, in fact, please tax flights heavily and introduce a yearly limit. Then, use that money to expand the train network and promote it for long distance travel.

Maybe something good will actually come out of this instead of dumb posturing.
bitcoin. better late than never...
Not really, because it still doesn't give people sufficiently fine-grained control over demands on their attention.

I think the ideal is the approach you get with discussion forums: Create a set of boards organized around topics, and place named, threaded conversations within those boards. People can join a board, in which case they will be able to get a list of new conversations related to that board's topic. They can then subscribe to just the conversations that interest them, and unsubscribe from ones that cease to be of interest.
In standard quantum mechanics, collapse absolutely is an axiom. I really have a lot of sympathy for the Everettian no-collapse position, with effective collapse caused by interactions with the environment. Nevertheless, the measurement problem hasn't actually been solved. The Born probabilities haven't truly been derived, except under some truly restrictive assumptions.
Right, now imagine only conservatives are having their licenses revoked for such violations.
That ship already sailed with widespread misuse of interfaces. Consider:

package foo

type T interface { func Bar() }

func New() T {
return &someotherpackage.ImplPickedAtRuntime{...}
}

Now whenever you see:

x := foo.New()
x.Bar()

You have no idea where to read the code for Bar. For maximum fun, ImplPickedAtRuntime should then contain members that were allocated in the same way. What should be a simple M-. then eats up your entire afternoon.
The benefits of a garbage collected Rust
I started learning Rust some time ago, and i can't stop thinking that Rust could be a really good substitute to Java, C# and Go in most applications. This language has it all, but there are some big learning hurdles caused by some of it's design decisions and features.

Don't get me wrong, i know the developers of the Rust language took these decisions very seriously and the language has it's own philosophy, but Rust expressiveness is so good that it could benefit from a garbage collected spin-off.

As most of you guys already know, the 3 biggest difficulties when learning Rust are Lifetimes, Unsafe and Ownership/Borrowing[0].

These 3 difficulties are all related to how Rust handles Memory Management, and could be severely reduced or even eliminated in a Garbage Collected Rust.

What we get in exchange for having to deal with these hurdles is a language as fast as C/C++. Sometimes this speed is needed, and for those times the current Rust is a nearly perfect solution.

But for general development the biggest asset that lies in Rust is its expressivenes: Iterators, Traits, Trait bounds, Modules, the Macro system, Parametric Polymorphism, the type system, and the enum implementation are REALLY GOOD and lead to healthy and maintainable code tha can benefit every organisation.

This expressivenes could be maintained in a GC'ed Rust.

I know this is basically daydreaming, as i don't have nearly enough skills to produce such a tool. But what do you guys think? Is there a language like this?

Those were rhetorical questions. They were meant to show how silly the concept of "offering liquidity" is as a service. Nobody asked for it, but they can't opt out without doing crazy workarounds like delaying orders to different market to avoid giving away their trade information to front runners.
It Seems like a good idea but I worry about the slippery slope effect.

Can they require this for flu? How will they handle false positives? What about something like HIV? What if you need to get home for medical treatment or a family emergency?
In my experience a combination of the rust book followed by the too many linked lists book was enough to give a pretty good idea of Rc, RefCell etc and how they can be used.
I'm not sure what you mean by this but Free Speech in America certainly did not start at absolute. Our constitution endorsed slavery and slaves had no freedom, including speech. The constitution only prevented the federal government from restricting speech. The Supreme court has both expanded or restricted free speech depending on the ruling.
The irony of referencing Germany as an example when Germany has an explicit ban on speech that is anti-constitutional is pretty high here.

It would be government overreach to tell the platforms that they're required to host whatever speech is posted to them, not the other way around. As I've mentioned in other comments, there are more ways to communicate now than at any other time in history. Facebook and Twitter do not have monopolies on speech, nothing on the internet does.

See this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25750501

Where would you draw the line?
> What seems to be under attack here is the right of individual companies and people to decide who they wish to work with. Everyone who is criticizing big tech for choosing not to work with certain people is forgetting that that same principle can be applied to them. Do you want to be forced to work with companies you abhor?

You mention protected classes in your first paragraph, but then act like it's self-evident that it's bad to "force people to work with (and serve) people they abhor". What else is the concept of a protected class if not this?

It's clear that we already don't have full freedom of association, and the question is where the line should be drawn. When people talk about big tech regulation, it's undergirded by many of these platforms' unique amount of market power. This isn't a novel concept; utility companies are an example of a natural monopoly: benefiting from scale, considered critical infrastructure, and legally prohibited from cutting off power to its customers, even if they don't like their politics. The topic under discussion here is whether the "new public square" (or things like payment infrastructure!) are considered critical enough to society that we want to protect access to them.

I'm constitutionally (not "Constitutionally") disinclined against ill-considered regulation, and most of the conversation by government about tech regulation is pants-on-head stupid. But the dissonance between the two paras in your comment are a good indication that this discussion isn't nearly as simple as you're framing it.
Lessons from my first (bad) on-call experience – nicholas web
I was under the impression modern Java was becoming more functional than more OO (or at least de-emphasising inheritance).
I have the same experience. I maintain lots of software that directly depends on k8s.io/go-client and it feels the same as any other Go project.

> What is the deep state's track record of investigating itself?

Powerful people prosecute and kill each other in order to retain, regain or acquire more power. Just look at the European history; how many emperors, kings, tsars, princes, dukes, lords and nobles got assassinated because they were causing trouble to somebody.

Who really killed President Kennedy? We still don't know 60 years later.
> Free speech is something provided by the government, not by private companies

It is not provided by the government. Congress is prohibited from passing laws that abridge freedom of speech; Congress is not the fountain that free speech springs from.

It is perfectly relevant to discuss freedom of speech in contexts where someone else might be doing the abridging besides the U.S. Congress.
This makes sense. The only question is why this wasn't done as soon as travel was restarted and tests became readily available across the world.

This is at least 6-9 months too late.
Tests weren't widely available a year ago. 3-6 months ago maybe.

In fact a year ago, exactly, the existence of COVID was still being denied or downplayed by the Chinese government. Very few people in the US even knew about it, and only if very plugged in to Chinese social media or non government sources.
redwoodjs aims to provide a framework for a serverless architecture with jamstack - It looks amazing.
Amplication aims to provide an easier and continuous development experience with Node.js, to allow node.JS developers to focus on their business domain instead of design and boilerplate.
Amplication generates a human-readable source code to allow the developers the freedom to choose how to use their apps and how to deploy it - Whether because of business policies and architecture, privacy and security concerns, or just personal preferences.
I think part of the problem is not all conversations are obviously 'short and shallow' or 'long and broad'. What starts out casual might unearth something that needs going into deeper, and going in deep on something might not have results worth documenting yet.

To me this points out a gap in our software for knowledge archival. The closest concept Slack has is "pinning" a message to a channel, which has very limited use for this. Really what you want is to be able to have a conversation with someone in any manner (casual or formal meeting) and be able to easily extract the conclusions and decisions made into a different location, ideally through an easily discoverable UI in the software already being used.

In an ideal world my chat software has knowledge of the projects I'm working on (through some protocol to something else that acts as a source of truth) and I can select a message/file upload in chat and tell it to archive it against a project. It can easily fill in the details for me about who made this decision and when. Ability to effortlessly organise information arising from a connversation should a priority I think, this might remove the need for having seperate software depending on how "deep" you think a conversation is going to be.
Yes. Source available but not free software.
Exactly. I found myself so frustrated when learning Go and digging into the "gotchas" of goroutines. There is so much non-obvious complexity that could be completely avoided by providing generics so that someone else can develop a package to handle the issues for you.
Centralization works for a reason: It makes prices go down.

For a company like Google, Twitter or Facebook it matters very little if they have 100, 1.000 million users or 2.000, or 3.000. Most of the cost is in salaries and the salaries are the same because the technology is scalable.

Once they have the market of hundreds or billions of users, almost nobody can compete with them because even paying enormous salaries the price per user is very small.

The problem with decentralization is that they don't have scale, so it is a serious problem just paying a single engineer salary.

Your definition of monopoly is wrong. Microsoft was judged by the court to be abusing its monopoly power by bundling IE with Windows and making it difficult to uninstall even though users could still install competing browsers if they spent the extra effort.

There's no natural monopoly that you can't find an alternative to if you're willing to spend enough effort.
Sorry, I've been inexact in my usage of the two terms. I'll endeavor to do better.
If someone told me "that is documented in the chat channel, just search", my response would be "ok. So it's not documented."

Even with the best organization (old content deleted), I don't want to wade through the conversations about it or all the other noise. Chat is temporal, the discussion about something like "should x be updated" is immediately irrelevant after the decision is made.
This proposal is fundamentally different from C++ templates as they exist today. You don't just chuck a type in there and let the compiler have a go at it, SFINAE style.

This overestimates the impact that a single employee or a single team can have in a company of Google's size.
In your worldview, how many people are Nazis? Is it thousands, Millions, Billions?

What will you do when you find out that a family member or friend or neighbor is a "Nazi"?
My friends have a Teamspeak server so that's what I use when playing games with them. I prefer it over Discord because it's lightweight in comparison. Also for whatever reason, I can't seem to get the microphone sensitivity right in Discord the last few times I used it.
So what's going on in the world that's driving the surge in signups? Hopefully not US political nonsense.

I also really hope it's not intelligence agencies rushing to make new accounts to move their disinformation campaigns to new platforms.
EU Commission: ‘No longer acceptable’ for platforms to take key decisions alone
In practice how are they different? Would you find it appropriate to "commute" the sentence of any other terrorists?
Simply sad to see such a garbage-quality piece of fear-mongering "journalism" (published more than 2 weeks ago, no less), with only wild anti-CCP speculations from a single random commentator for Radio Free Asia (spoiler: not exactly known for their neutrality), and practically non-existent factual information, getting so many upvotes here. If one applies the least bit of logic, one could immediately grasp the absurdity of such a "proposal", which would only do every party involved immense harm.

Then again, maybe this is no longer anything surprising at all, given the multiple recent precedents, including e.g. the ridiculous "chromeisbad.com" post.
Keep in mind that sites like parler are not actually banned. They could simply hook up their own computer to the internet and run their site if they wished. No one has some natural right to be able to use a convenient service like AWS. And if AWS refuses to do business with you, there are hundreds of other hosting companies that you can choose from.

Ultimately, if not one of the hundreds of hosting companies out there wants to work with you, that should be a very strong indication that the community is not something we want. But if you really really want this community anyways, just hook up your computer to an internet connection and host the site yourself.
Just curious, if I buy a physical server, how would I then go about installing it into a NNDC?
Often times churn is rewarded because it can keep salaries lower.
Indeed. I was just trying to clarify the public/private status of bus lines in the US, particularly for non-US readers.
No, not acually.

Generics in Go are vastly different than templates in C++. They might be used for similar things, but whereas Go's generics actually build up on Go's structural typing, templates are ... something completely different again.

I mean; C++ templates are Turing complete. They are in the same ballpark as Scala's type machinery. And I say that with adoration.
Mailing lists (aka Google Groups if you're on GSuite) allow retroactive access.

That said, none of my employers have ever made effective use of this. I don't think open communication is an instinct that most people have.
There's no need to apologise ... it's perfectly reasonable that you should say something short and clear, but not in complete depth. Your elaboration gives me useful information ... thank you.

It does sound like it was a real issue ... have you provided feedback to Gather.Town? Perhaps it is related to the speaker being across the globe, and they could find that useful, even if anecdotal. It's still a data point, pointing at a potential underlying problem.

Regardless, thanks for the reply. (and NRN)
Back when I actually had some crypto, I considered Monero / Zcash / Dash more risky, precisely _because_ they were so focussed on anonymity.

Bitcoin's ledger is a dream come true for financial investigators and tax collectors, if there was one thing a government might decide to ban entirely (and I don't accept that governments can't ban crypto, of course they can!), it would be privacy coins.

For most people though, I think the brand recognition is what does it for Bitcoin

I have struggled for years to find things that I know exist within Slack. I specifically (as a test) set up my email to forward all mail to a specific address in to Slack (https://slack.com/slack-tips/send-email-to-slack) and found more often than not that Slack could not find something when searching for it.

YMMV, of course. But my mileage was pretty terrible.
Sure. And what's most interesting to me is that both personal attacks and swearing were caused by this underhanded version of censorship. It in effect caused what it is supposed to solve.
