You say simply, but I think that's much more difficult than just detecting the presence of em noise conforming to a broadcast standard.

Anyone that's put an AM radio next to a CRT TV knows it emits em noise.

The CRT itself is, to over simplify, a high voltage capacitor. It's one of the most popular devices used to power hobbyist Tesla coils...

I don't know why everyone seems to think that just because TVs were "receive-only" devices, that they wouldn't emit any sort of easily detectable signal.

Also, when this enforcement began, broadcast was the only source of TV content, so the presence of a TV was generally proof of watching broadcasts. There wasn't really any need to prove the TV was tuned to any particular content.

Now, whether it is a practical, effective method of enforcement that was actually used is another matter.
I must still not understand what you mean. Where is the encryption being added? Could you draw me an ASCII network diagram (showing the server, the browser, and the intermediate network hops) with an indication?
2 days ago Clubhouse took off in Germany. People became addicted quickly. Journalists, TV moderators, and Politicians all joined at the same time. The UI/UX of Clubhouse is awesome so the onboarding experience was smooth with one exception: editing your bio sucks. The textfield is just unnecessary small. That's why I have built clubhousebio.xyz to help you create engaging bios.

Ah, the evergreen "I don't believe any of this, but hopefully you do so you'll do what I want" argument.

The correct response is tit-for-tat: always refuse to abide by principles your enemies refuse to accept even if you privately think those principles are worthwhile.
The author of this one quit too soon or his product, despite his posturing and promoting was poor. 1st off he approached an American Drs practice and they said it doesn’t pay for them to use it. He could have gone on to approach a different country, UK, Australia, Canada to name but a few hell France, Germany - the list of countries with a national Health service with KPIs for exactly this purpose.

Moral of this story is if you got a good product don’t quit just because America can’t see the value lol. The irony that the American healthcare system didn't value this overwhelming.
> "If your position is genuinely that you believe website operators should be mandated by law to host content they do not want to host except when that content has been specifically determined to be illegal, then we simply disagree on that point."

That's another meme I see repeated a lot. If we go back before 1950, the same argument you are making was used justify businesses refusing to provide service to women, minorities, LGBT people, etc. It's funny to see people supposedly on the left recycling discredited arguments from the bigoted right to justify their behavior today.

Society had to create protected classes, making something illegal that was already intrinsically immoral, to make clear that the argument you are trying to make is bogus. Perhaps it's time for liberals (and I mean actual liberals, not the left) to campaign to make political affiliation a protected class too.
> Ignorance is not an excuse.

Taking it that you aren't trolling (which I'm not certain you aren't) ignorance is an excuse. It is not a good excuse when knowledge is common but it is a great excuse when knowledge is uncommon (as is the case here, at least to Americans). Unless you expect everyone to be omniscient then this is exceedingly disingenuous and will just lead to people thinking you're being a jerk.

The other part I need to add is that this is also how we typically talk. "The British...", "The Irish...", "Americans...", etc. I'll admit that we could have more nuance and better communication by being more specific but what is stated here follows the Cooperative Principle[0][1]. It is implied in all these examples that what is meant is the government of the country and not the people of the country. Typically we'd say interpreting it as the latter would be in bad faith. Not that people don't do this (and that this isn't becoming more common) but that this is how people typically use language.

But if you're trying to just get people to yell at one another and feel angry (i.e. trolling) I'd ask that you please take your comments elsewhere because that's not the environment we are trying to create at Hacker News.

I agree with you that most susceptible populations have probably gotten it by now, especially among people living on reservations. It's hard to imagine that the real numbers would have reached 70%, though, considering the total COVID deaths per 100k population in the Dakotas is 184 & 181 compared to New Jersey's 229, although I guess NJ does have a larger old population. I always imagine as life on the gigantic old homesteading plots to be isolated, but I have no idea.
If the outcomes are as great as they look, I think one could expect "mainstream adoption" (specialized centers and unfrequent indications) in 2-3 years ? This is a hard guess!

I'm surprised at the lack of recognition that Google and Apple banned Parler as soon as the dems gained all 3 branches of power. It could not be more clear what the motive was. Extremism and violence are on Twitter and Facebook all day long. They're still in the app stores.

One word you can't find in this article is 'vaccine.' Yes, there are downsides to the overuse of technology in society and discussing them is fine. But there are huge upsides which are keeping people alive whether through the extremely rapid development of vaccines or the mitigation of disability or, even at a minimum, keeping people employed. Can you imagine if coronavirus had hit in 1985 and we'd had lockdowns like these?
This was an extremely serious privacy issue, and it's shocking that they'd only award $1,337 for a bug of this scope.
I see it a bit differently. I see it as two separate(but correlated) tasks. There is labelling the data and building a robust model. There is a nuanced gap between the two. The labelling task and the model task live a different constraint space.

When you are labelling data, you have access to strategies and means that might not be available to your downstream model. In our experience this includes a human in the loop component, building non-robust ensemble models(we call these micro-models), and some "guess work" functions on the data. All of this together can make an "auto labeller" that does pretty well getting labels made, but really the sum of these strategies is very different from some well trained neural network that will be running on edge or whatever.

The point of a model is not to label the data, it's to generate some value in some out of sample task, quite different from strategies that you can run in a sandboxed environment with your training data.

Most annoying about these kinds of situations is that the company likely hasn't even lost the data, but has simply removed your ability to access it. It's probably still being used to profile and profit off you, but good luck being able to use it yourself. I'm almost certain that this is the case with my Google search history, for example, where anything over a few years old has become quite difficult to access (entries that used to have very granular data about my browsing now simply list a domain), but I find it incredibly hard to believe that it's been completely discarded.

We desperately need modernized data rights and regulations. Companies can afford it.
All my projects use TypeScript. really cool, but dead in the water (for me). sucks as I really want to use it, but if this project saves me 2 months of work, type script saves me 12 months of sanity (signed, someone that really appreciates type safety). Id pay extra.
Quite. — a similar problem is also one of historical linguistics where a simple tree structure of “descendants” is often inadequate.

I find all of this classification for it's own sake to be a wanting approach that bares little fruit in terms of inference, and mostly seems to exist simply because it comforts the minds of men to classify, even when it can obviously not be done.

Even ignoring horizontal gene transfer, the Neanderthal man is typically considered a separate species from the modern human, yet it seems almost inescapable at this point that at least significant populations of the latter have some horizontal ancestry of the former, but some populations also lack it.
>Finance companies are already leaving

This sounds totally untrue, and the reverse is actually accurate. Banks are doubling down on London.

Goldman Sachs just built a new 1 billion pound office while Morgan Stanley is searching for a new office -- in London.

Even Deutsche Bank has committed to a new London office in 2023.

That's just the legacy finance companies, there's also Transferwise and other startups who aren't leaving.

Traditional tech companies are also doubling down on London. Google just built a giant new London office. LinkedIn is building a new London HQ. Netflix is also building a new London office.

It isn't surprising considering the talent available in London as compared to EU countries. Salaries continue to be substantially better in London for tech and finance workers.

Parler was not deplatformed due to any free speech issues.

They were deplatformed for blatantly violating the terms of service with multiple platform providers. If you host certain types of content, you are going to have trouble finding a platform.

If your platform allows open discussion of violent acts... you don't have the same options as other platforms. 8chan ran into this years ago.

If you lie to platform providers and host that kind of content on their platform, you should be prepared to get dumped.

I don't think the "free market" can ever truly work in practice in the medical field, except for elective procedures and visits. Sure, if doctors want to compete on giving me a low price for vaccines and office visits, etc., I can see that working.

However, any emergency service essentially has a captive audience. Most people who need an appendectomy or are having a heart attack are not in a position to price-shop. They need close, immediate care. Hell, quality probably doesn't even matter in these situations... not dying is the goal. This is where the free market doesn't work because there's no true consumer choice.
> Free expression is chaotic.

The founding fathers(FF) knew this. The FF created a system of government that acts as a society consciousness. Allowing for passion (the House) but having frontal lobe mechanisms (the Senate guards against the mob mentality).

The recent insurrection happened specifically because of the laziness/apathy/intentional (take your pick, I'm certain one is true) of the Congress. It was their job to protect DC and with a rally on the same day nonetheless, yet the law enforcement was gravely lacking. Also the DC mayor and even the POTUS, yet none took the responsibility.

As for Parler, they acted like little children. Whining and not doing much. They attack a hornet's nest then cry when they get stung. They should've been prepared instead of telling Tucker Carlson's audience their entire system of weaknesses.

Peter Kolmisoppi, one of The Pirate Bay co-founders, criticized their behavior as well [1]. (Not being prepared, whining, etc)

Society is starkly divided between the rural and urban elites. There will always be bad eggs. BLM/Qanon are equally screwed up. But the kicker is two major things. We need better discourse and more civic engagement. No change will happen without our engagement (for either side).

Ultimately, I welcome the fourth turning.

Amazon has terms of service. As does Apple and Google.

Parler has lawyers who can read this kind of thing.

Parler violated those terms of service. Pretty much across the board. In the case of Amazon, they had 7 weeks of advance notification.

This isn't about censorship. It's not about "Free Speech", it's about a company breeching contract and suffering the consequences for it.
> “We don’t know if it’s because Covid destroyed the beta cells which make insulin and you get Type 1 diabetes, or whether it causes insulin resistance, and you develop Type 2, but we are seeing these surprising new diagnoses of diabetes,” he added.

I don't know it's always seemed to me like there's a significant portion of populations in western societies that are affected by chronic illness as a result of unhealthy diets. And covid wipes these people out.

I'd be surprised if covid is giving healthy people diabetes, instead of overwhelming people with pancreases that are barely eking by as it is on account of too much McDonalds.
Chapter 11 of the book AI Powered Search[1].

The topic is turning clickstream data into relevance labels to train machine learning models to optimize search relevance. It’s a fun topic, as it’s far more complicated than just “label things clicked more as more relevant”. There’s dozens of reasons how/why users click things (or don’t click things) besides relevance you have to overcome to derive reasonable relevance labels.

That's just plain stupid. Extreme socialism doesn't solve any problems that capitalism couldn't solve with the right policies. It is entirely possible to build a capitalist society that treats worker fairly. You only need leadership that is caring about the population instead of personal gain. Socialism isn't immune against that, in fact it often goes hand in hand with authoritarianism which means economic outcomes will be worse in most cases.
Our experience with Delta Engine has been that it's way more resource hungry than the JVM code it replaced. It doesn't handle resource exhaustion well at all; lots of crashing and deadlock when nearing full resource utilization.

Quotes:

"The main value in software is not the code produced, but the knowledge accumulated by the people who produced it."

"This is why relying on external vendors for your core software development is difficult. You may get a running system and its code, but the invaluable knowledge of how it is built and what design choices were made leaves your organisation."

Assumes facts not in evidence, I'm afraid.

Seriously, people who have been working on evidence based medicine for decades at this point have been struggling with the fact that what he describes as easy "slurp up a bunch of trials data, do the analysis" is actually pretty hard to get right, for a bunch of reasons.
Not now, but between 1947 and 1961 there absolutely was. That’s the point: it didn’t happen from the top-down at the Federal level, it happened province-by-province and there was a period of time when it was patchwork. It was fine for the Canadians, and it can be fine for Americans as well.

Also, if I’m understanding your argument correctly, it’s that States can’t do this because borders are open, but there’s nothing stopping a State from applying its public insurance only for established residents of the State. This is how State university systems operate; you don’t get in-state tuition at UC Berkeley unless you can establish residence. In theory, someone at the borders could move across State lines in order to do that, but that’s probably a rounding error in the UC budget.
Genuinely curious: the insurance industry worries about space?
> Native American autonomy and agency, African Americans obtaining land after the Civil War

Unfortunately these were suppressed with violence, far more than mere censorship. I don't think these causes are dead at all, however. Many Native Americans still pursue these goals and occasionally enjoy victories, while the other cause has changed with the times and shifted focus from land to a more vague idea of reparations.

> stimulus measures after the Great Depression, Communism

I don't think those are dead at all. They may not be especially popular among normal people, but one can certainly get elected and openly preach violent revolutionary ideology like "We are coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state. We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy, and equality – a socialist world." [0] The organizers of BLM have explicitly stated that they are "trained organizers, trained Marxists" in the context of BLM's having adequate ideological direction. [1][2]

Amazon gave them 7 weeks notice that they were violating the contract.

Once Parler breeched the contract, Amazon no longer had an obligation to them. The fact that they continued operating without making significant efforts to get into compliance makes it pretty unlikely the court will be sympathetic.
1.1.1.1 disagrees with you, but that's an aside.

ISPs get common-carrier status - I think platforms should be able to have this protection and requirements too, if they want it. For ISPs this protects them from things folks do with their service, meaning they don't have to completely monitor your use.
> only have to win once.

I disagree. If you notice with American politics both sides believe in strong dogmas. There is no middle ground.

They both have made their beds and they will lay in it.

Corporate Dems (control the Democratic Party) and the MAGA (control the GOP) have their own ecochambers. MSNBC, CNN, etc indoctrinate the Dems. Talk radio for the GOP.

The two cults will continue to clash. I wonder if the people will wake up.
After I finished the comment I almost went back to modify that intro, but figured the gist of it would be ok.

What I was trying to do was show how we move from the mental model of dots on a balloon (there is so much space on the balloon! the dots are tiny!) to rings around a ball. In order to make sure the dots don't intersect with each other simply spread them out appropriately. In order to make sure the rings don't intersect each other make some of them slightly bigger, or stretch them a bit.

The resulting orbits are still, approximately, great circles on the same sphere - just perturbed a bit.
Clubhouse seems to attract the extraverted and narcissistic, those who live to self-promote and "hustle." So for white people, that's VCs, and then there's the analogous types of Black people.

As far as politics it doesn't seem as left-wing as Twitter, I haven't seen any socialists or communists yet. I've seen a lot of standard liberal types but then also people with idiosyncratic politics (Black people who think BLM is a Soros conspiracy for example).

You program your systems to be resilient to a certain level of failure (retries, graceful failure), and you program them to be able to cope without a malfunctioning part by isolating it from the rest of the system (circuit breakers, bulkheads).
