> that's the reason why modern days Germany has - by request and design from the US - laws to limit freedom of speech.

A point that cannot be made too often.

Additionally, the US military governor banned newspapers and then gave out licenses for publishing newspapers only to people the Americans deemed "politically reliable".
If someone has been living there for 3 months without issue. I think we can conclude he’s not a danger to the public :/

Just because private entities are bound by certain laws does not mean that those laws apply to the state.

The state has other laws that regulate its ability to spy on its citizens.

And if those laws become too cumbersome you can always ask a free friendly nation to do your spying for you, and get the info from them. And then cross your fingers that the judiciary will follow yout reasoning when you are found out.
Not sure I understand. It seems to me that while the original song was uploaded to youtube, it was the tiktok video that made it go viral.
Came here to say the exact same thing. If anything him living for 3 month in a highly secure area without doing anything nefarious is proof that he is not a danger to the community.

What is wrong with that judge, if it was the prosecute saying this ok, but the judge?!
Curious. The Norwegian Medicines Agency is quoted as saying, "... worsening of their underlying condition" about the vaccinated.

Not to minimize 29 deaths, but out of the 42000 administered doses, to a population some of whom have underlying conditions, have a lowered immune response due to age and those conditions - is it that unexpected?
yes but can you explain why remote desktop protocol and SSH clients were not enough? Why is this different?

Not that quickly. The fact that a site has many external links pointing to it would mean it would be very unlikely to drop out of search results for a very long time indeed.
Just reading the headline leads me to the immediate reaction:

Who cares about a U.S. law outside of US jurisdiction?

If the U.S. wants other countries to follow the same rules they need to make international treaties like the outer space treaty from 1967. That requires actual diplomacy of course.

Looking at his public statements about women I think it's clear he is a misogynist but mainly in his personal dealings. It's not really a feature of his politics.

As for racism I think the Muslim Ban was a clear case of explicitly racist policy.
Cool!

Because I was curious: Rocket Lab's Electron is about $27k/kg payload, while Virgin's Launcher One is "less than" $40k/kg to the same orbit. So more, but not crazy if you need some of the benefits Virgin gives, like a slightly bigger payload maximum (300 vs 225kg) or ability to launch from the US (or possibly the UK soon?)

Still, I wonder if there's enough business at that size to support a more expensive entrant.

I'd argue that the Mac developer community was hollowed out by mandatory Sandboxing in the Mac App Store, introduced in 2011, not by the iPhone (2007). Sketch, arguably the most successful third-party Mac-only app since OS X, was released in 2010, several years after the iPhone, but almost immediately before mandatory sandboxing.

I believe the reason sandboxing destroyed the Mac software ecosystem is because it's too restrictive to support the kinds of productivity utilities that have historically thrived on the platform. And those apps are too small to handle promotion without Apple's help, Apple's help now being reserved for apps in the Mac App Store, which are by extension sandboxed.
I believe you're talking about a hypothetical but are you saying that the E2E crypto in Signal is flawed and therefore useful as a NSA honeypot?

Aphantasia would be a good example of clear differences in how people's brains operate (and one that anecdotally seems to be not that uncommon among programmers). Given that it only has gotten real scientific attention in the last 10 years it doesn't seem unreasonable that other major variations exist that we don't know about yet.
Ok, I'm probably totally biased here...but I'll toss my half penny in anyway. Stop looking. Most American techies won't give you the time of day...and those that will even bother to skim-yes, I said skim-through your ad won't even bother to do the polite thing and respond even after taking the time to interact with it.

I am so sick and tired of the rude behavior that I've decided to build all my upcoming projects myself even if it looks janky and barely put together just to prove concept. Once that's done, I'll be looking for tech help overseas. The "tech is God" and therefore we don't have to behave like mere mortals crap has completely ruined the tech people in this country in my eyes.

Of course, other industries have similar problems, but for some reason it seems more magnified, probably because of all the VC cash floating around even crappy ideas/teams.

(The Shanghai airport maglev is impressive as well, though it doesn’t go to a particularly convenient location unfortunately as of when I last was there lol) I’ve taken pretty long high speed rides there, like Shenzhen to Shanghai and Xi’an to Beijing.

It is probably Varangians-Ukrainian folk music (ex-Kyiv Rus with a captital in Kyiv during period of 882–1240; actually Kyiv is a capital of Ukraine).[0]

I don't know where people got this idea that Microsoft can't participate positively in Open Source, and do that sincerely, without open sourcing absolutely everything.

Of course they can - just because you contribute to open source, and do that because you also benefit from open source projects, doesn't mean you have to do absolutely everything under open source.

Especially considering OpenAI isn't even Microsoft's IP or codebase.

The point is, that making corrosive properties go away is easy and very typical, whereas toxic properties often have a habit of not going away after it enters the body.

Most corrosive substances release their effects on the surface they contact you, but toxic effects, especially the problematic ones, are way deeper.

The distinction is fairly important, especially regarding heavy metals.

Like hydrofluoric acid, for example. It's fairly easy to not notice you spilled some on your hand/arm until after it soaked through your skin, upon which the issue is systemic toxicity or at least bone damage. In contrast, sulfuric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids at any concentration up to azeotropic just cause burns and, for sulfuric acid, dehydration. There are no acute systemic risks from all but large-area burns, and even then it's mostly due to fluid loss which can be compensated for. (Yes, there are later risks due to loss-of-skin and skin graft surgery, but none of those complications try to have you pronounced dead you within a few hours of the spill.)
It is not abour rewriting. It is about extracting functionality into separate services or projects as the TEAMS/PEOPLE grow so that they not step on each other.

Examples? Because I'd be very interesting in this.

Also, in the world of web development, the magic Rails does is pretty necessary. If you're not using its magic, you're probably going to write it yourself. It just won't look as magic to yourself because you wrote it, but it will to others joining later. Except they won't have as good documentation, community, etc.

But it’s all about incentives. If they are financially incentivizing one side and not the other, it leads to a dramatic imbalance in the amount and quality of content on either side. If they wanted a healthy ecosystem, they would either even-handedly apply demonetization policies, or demonetize all political content across the board. They are, unsurprisingly, doing neither of these things.

You can forget about TVs coming out without HDMI ports. There is currently no plan to have TVs with USB-C inputs only. So it is up to laptops to adapt, or more likely, that people need to carry adapters.

Also maybe gamer TVs or more expensive models have USB-C inputs, I certainly have never seen one. Even in the monitor space, USB-C is seen as a premium feature. Even 5 years after the first laptops with USB-C.
I think you missed their point. Alt-right ceases to mean anything other than “bad people we need to stop”.
> Multiple studies have shown

Are you talking about the two in this article, or alluding to more?

The studies:

1) https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/26/censorship-conserva...

"The findings demonstrate how a small number of conservative users routinely outpace their liberal rivals and traditional news outlets in driving the online conversation — amplifying their impact a little more than a week before Election Day. They contradict the prevailing political rhetoric from some Republican lawmakers that conservative voices are censored online — indicating that instead, right-leaning talking points continue to shape the worldviews of millions of U.S. voters."

2) https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/new-study-finds-facebo...

"right-leaning pages consistently earned more average weekly interactions than either left-leaning or ideologically nonaligned pages"

This doesn't seem to me to support that "Facebook and twitter do not censor conservatives";

The assumption seems to be that if conservatives are ultimately more influential, they mustn't have been censored. I'm also not sure how fine-grained the distinction of right/left leaning is.

If all conservatives voices are censored except for a few far-right/extremist voices that are amplified, does this balance out? Add a few more dimensions and you might come up with a different conclusion.

In any case, I'll need to see more before I agree it's "well established".
How are you tackling all the missing / private APIs in Cocoa WebKit? Stuff like location, fullscreen, WebRTC, etc.
This is nonsense. There are places everywhere to dialogue. Having an app removed is not an example of lack of dialogue, it's the same is removing a dangerous product from a shelf. it is a _recall_. You're also creating the false equivalency that one of those political sides would dialogue when they do not. Their actions have become extremist. So kindly quit creating a victim out of an app.

Open offices are terrible if you want silence, and only kind of ok when you want music (you can make it work with noise cancelling headphones turned up loud enough). Both types would be better served by smaller offices.
I wonder if that depends on whether the programmer gets to choose the music or not. I often hear music I know backwards and forwards or just straight up instrumental but if you put the pop 100 on I would get distracted.
(Not a physicist and I can’t comprehend the paper). It seems to me they are trying to mostly explain how some galaxies can rotate the way they do (inside part spinning about as fast as the outside) which in their eyes only makes sense if some strong mass keeps it together.
To a layman like me it looks more like there is no dark matter but some galaxies are on a “lazy Susan” like part of space - caught in a whirl or eddy in space time where (local to the galaxy) it doesn’t really spin that fast. It is instead everything else on the sky that spins faster than it should from their point of view.

I hope to learn enough physics sometime so I can shed my childish simplistic views of the universe.

In France nazi memboribilia and imagery are illegal, as is holocaust denial. That's not the case in the USA which protects free speech. What's interesting is that France has a much bigger problem with holocaust denial whereas in the USA its sort of laughed at. I still think the approach to permit free speech is better.
The headline misrepresents Stephen Harper’s quote in the article:

The evolution of the Bretton Woods System [1] is an important topic.

Harper also expressed his concerns about the Central Bank of Canada possibly introducing a Central Bank Digital Currency [2] in the future.

Cooking / recipe books should have a professional time and an 'amateur time'. The latter exists more as a worst case estimate for how long the first try at a dish by someone generally less skilled might take. That would give someone trying the dish for the first time a good idea how much time it takes, which can be important.

I agree that there are good or even bad managers who have 'wider business goals' that I just didn't see.

But in my experience working for various large corporations, I've found that the sentiment expressed is very accurate. Managers were the bane of our existence.

While we as developers and other areas involved did our best, the managers were with few exceptions absolutely terrible. I was often amazed that anything got done at all.

In smaller companies or startups I definitely learned to respect the concerns that managers had to deal with that I didn't, sure. But in BigCo's it was generally a shit show of, basically, royalty running the show badly: ass-kissers, psychopaths, etc.
I don't feel too bad about replacement parts being obsoleted for good reason (e.g. leaded solder or similar changes). My car/vacuum/desk/etc. might get hit by a meteor, or fall down the stairs, or otherwise be totaled. Life is full of risks.

What I care about is good intent and reasonable measures to support me for the lifetime of the product. In most cases, I can't get replacement parts because manufacturers discontinue them after a few years as a business choice, not because they have to. Most manufacturers rotate product models every year, and I presume it's expensive and not good business to stock parts for models from a decade ago. That's what I want to avoid. I'd like a manufacturer that will continue supporting me as long as reasonable.

What I do now is I look at manufacturer's web pages, and see the oldest products they still support. It's pathetically short.

My last vacuum lasted 15 years before replacement parts ceased to exist. I've been looking at upscale Dyson vacuums, and the oldest ones with replacement parts are a decade old from date-of-introduction (less from date-of-purchase, of course). For a $800 vacuum, that means you're looking at an annualized cost of $80-$160 before you're dumped on the curb.

Of course, there are companies which simply don't offer replacement parts. If a roller or belt fails, the vacuum is disposable. The TCO seems similar, since those don't run $800, though, and a $150 vacuum will probably last a couple of years before something breaks.

What I'd really like is a web site which compiles this sort of information.
The article points this out. This particular law only relates to companies working with NASA on lunar projects to protect American landing sites.

It can be seen as a "small step" (pun intended) to creating something larger like the World Heritage Convention, via diplomacy as you say.
I wonder how viable this business model is without a 747, which will be ending it’s production run soon. I’m sure used 747s will be around for a long time, but at maintenance costs go up, parts availability goes down, etc. Eventually the 747 will not be viable, and I’m not sure there’s a suitable replacement.
If so, why not cite those?

Also, they paid a lot to have early access to a lot of vaccine.

Michigan (my state) is doing about 35,000 doses on weekdays at this point, which is frustratingly slow. But if they had spun up twice as fast, we wouldn't be doing 70,000 doses a day, we'd be out of vaccine.

The most recent shipments have been ~120,000 vaccines/week for 2 weeks and then none for a third week. So if the tempo of Federal allotments is 120,000 a week, the 35,000 a day is not a bottleneck. They should of course be building capacity anyway, with the idea that deliveries will increase (and making a plan for what to do if/when the adenovirus vaccines are approved in the US; fortunately it looks like that can be "send it everywhere").

Anyway, wasting vaccines is obviously stupid, I'm not trying to argue about that.

The AW has a control center which can be accessed via a swipe up. From there you can tap the bed icon and you will not receive notifications anymore. You can also dig deeper in to the phone app and stop each app from showing notifications on the watch.

Personally I leave on all notifications that would show on my phone because I find looking at my watch less distracting than taking out my phone.

If you purely want health features, there are many cheaper options but I'd be cautious about the accuracy of the sub $100 watches. You might find like me that the watch is useful for a load of things you didn't think of. Using apple pay on my watch is slightly nicer than on the phone, setting timers is slightly quicker, checking the weather is slightly quicker, etc.

I find myself using the watch a lot for these tasks because its simply faster and lets me get back to what I was doing quicker.
