> I _am_ talking about free speech in general.

No, you're not.

Historically, the principle of free speech was never about "businesses have to let you say whatever you want inside their property", because that's ridiculous.

Nobody was ever arguing that Nazis should be able to hold rallies inside McDonald's restaurants. Nobody was arguing that newspapers are obligated to reprint every letter to the editor they receive, rather than picking and choosing. It's pretty much always been about government interference, which is why cases like that were about public spaces, not private ones.

Acting like free speech is about what businesses let you say on their property is ahistorical, and reveals that the speaker is either ignorant of this history, or being deliberately disingenuous.
oh. not that kind. gold and real estate is what people keep their money in. but its not like you can can sell off a 1 cr property to pay off bills.
stocks, eh not so much. financial illiteracy coupled with bad history of brokers chasing commissions leading to bad outcomes have systematically made people wary. its not like people altogether dont invest. they do but they rather buy a house than shares

There was also some controversy of counting those that died in Florida but were not residents of Florida. A marginal difference, but not anything that big.
I think "caring" and "worrying" is too general. What's important is _how_ other people's feelings about us affect our actions and _why_.

That's what changes over time.
That opting-out is a good sign. Apple and their customers shouldn't want the Mac platform to become polluted with half-assed ports that retain a touch-oriented UI rather than designing a UI that's actually appropriate for desktops and laptops.
https://www.newsandguts.com/trump-if-you-dont-fight-like-hel... summarizes the basis for impeachment. If you only listen to FOX and Steve Bannon's warroom you will hear repeatedly that Trump only explicitly said to go and peacefully cheer on those who did not want the election to be stolen.

If you are a participant of hacker news I'd hope that you can perform a google search to find and validate this information rather than parrot the feigned ignorance of pundits.

Is this blatant enough to justify impeachment? I don't know. Apparently it is blatant enough to convince 10 republican congress people.
I honestly don't know how many users matrix has. I think others have already given references to estimates. Though, I believe it is vastly more than just "thousands of users"...but much like email (another federated protocol), i suppose we can never truly know that absolute number, just like we can never know with absolute certainty how many smtp servers and associated mailboxes there are out there.

I'm no longer hosting my own homeserver (can;t spare admin time for it), but when i did, it was running nicely on a $10 USD/month on digital Ocean...and this was circa 2019...I'm not an expert but as i understand it, both synapse (the python-based reference homeserver), and the vastly more performant (though beta) Dendrite have significantly improved since back then. There is certainly something to be said if you're high profile folks (like @Arathorn) who are members of tons of rooms...one can imagine that it would require more resources to support such vastly high interactions (for room data history sync, etc.)...But, hey, its early days, if the experience is too raw for you, you can wait a little while until this becomes more mainstream; no harm, no foul. :-)
To make the show more engaging? “Oh, yeah, everybody knows that, whatever” is a quick way to turn your less knowledgeable audience off.
> Another extremely strong network effect is proprietary chat systems like ICQ or AOL Instant Messenger. If you want to chat with people, you have to go where they are, and ICQ and AOL have the most people by far. Chances are, your friends are using one of those services, not one of the smaller ones like MSN Instant Messenger. With all of Microsoft’s muscle, money, and marketing skill, they are just not going to be able to break into auctions or instant messaging, because the network effects there are so strong.

This is an interesting line, at the time AIM seemed like it was here forever. And honestly, I still have better memories of the usability of aim than modern services.

Would be interesting to take a deep dive into all the factors, was it mobile and phone text messaging that did it in?
> Runs within the same VM with strong safety guarantees.

You still generate code at runtime and there had been multiple Java vulnerabilities where features like "runtime code loading/generation" and "reflections" lead to RCE vulnerabilities.

And sure you can RCE bytecode but so what, it's still code which can do anything your application can do. I.e. the same as you have with "unsafe" attack vectors. And while you could try to use the VM as a security sandbox it requires additional work and at lest for Java is known to not work well and if you do so you can also spend additional work to sandbox binaries...

And then C#/Java libraries still do bind to C/C++ code, and their VM is still implemented in C/C++ and neither VMs are meant to be a sandbox to allow running untrusted code (both had some features for this, in both cases but especially Java it didn't work out well and by now both have dropped/deprecated it).

> https://medium.com/@shnatsel/how-rusts-standard-library-was-...

Sure, there had been a single bad security vulnerability in the standard library on stable. But so what. There had been more then one or two in fundamental parts of the JVM and probably for C#, too (IDK).

In the end neither rust's unsafe nor Java's/C#'s VMs/GC are meant as security protection mechanisms. They are tools to make it easier to write correct code. And more correct code also means less security vulnerabilities.

If you rely on any of them for security you already have lost.

Which doesn't mean you can't design VM's for safety purposes, e.g. most JavaScript Browser VM's are designed to safely isolate JS and even then there where cases of VM escapes. In even then you might want to add at least one additional layer of protection and generally run all from the outside reachable services on properly locked down systems.
The default builds of vscode include telemetry and a non-free license.

For a truly free build of vscode, you need to use vscodium. See their description: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium#why-does-this-exist.

I suspect many developers are unaware of this.
The raid on her home is one event which is pretty well documented, and I have little tolerance for militarized police tactics in general.
My solution to that is to not be around people who make me feel like I'm being exploited.
You could bypass the screensaver lock this way. If the C: drive was shared over the network (and more often than not it was!) you could just rename c:\windows\scrnsave.exe and the process would crash.

Fun times!
If you had used one of the $10 USD Webauthn (aka U2F) tokens, it wouldn't have asked you to install any applications.

The "problem" is the expensive Yubikeys that you were whining about has lots of extra functionality that has nothing to do with U2F, and that's what the extra applications are all about.

I happen to use a Yubikey because I want that extra functionality, including using it to secure the keys I use for ssh and for digitally signing git tags so I can securely push git pull requests. But that's because I'm a developer, and it's why I'm happy to purchase multiple Yubikeys (one for my desktop, one for laptop, backups including one that is on a keychain, etc.) Perhaps you were reading web sites that was giving advice for developers as opposed to for consumers?
Yeah, by K-machine I mean any of the PrimeHPC-FX class systems using SPARC64-V derivatives; I'm sure they sold a few outside Japan, but I don't think that not having the wider global market would've deterred Fujitsu from making them.

I know some of Fujitsu's A64 modules were making it into Cray systems as well; isn't that what U. Bristol has?
I guess its just a matter of balance at the end of the day and finding what makes sense for your business (which is why some make it and some don't!). Its like investing. You could be conservative and sometimes that rewards you, but at the same time, you will most likely not take the risks that could return big reward.

Windows has special protocol schemes specifically for opening various settings pages. I feel like an accessibility feature will probably make it possible to launch such a URL. Maybe the camera app's QR code integration (if any) can launch URLs if accessible via the lockscreen.
Anyone has the facts, that are out about this, subject noted to share? Too much speculations and armchair opinions re floating around.
HDMI will probably be around for TVs, but with USB 4 I imagine we're 5-10 years from most of the current ports going away completely, except for a collection of USB C ports of different levels (3, 3.x, 4).
Why bother with RS-25 if they don’t even know what they don’t know in a failure?

Without expressing any opinion on pollution credits of my own, Elon Musk has been claiming Tesla had a mission other than making money forever. I didn't think it was obscure.

"the overarching purpose of Tesla Motors (and the reason I am funding the company) is to help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy, which I believe to be the primary, but not exclusive, sustainable solution." (2006)

'“The acceleration of sustainable energy is absolutely fundamental, because this is the next potential risk for humanity,” Musk said. “So obviously, that is, by far and away, the most important thing.”

But autonomous cars have the potential to “save millions of lives,” according to Musk, so that is also critical, he said.' (2019)
Shortcuts in VS Code are a setting. Just load which shortcut-setup you prefer. That's pretty normal with good dev-tools nowadays, because everyone has different preferences and habits.
No, because paying for the software is now a luxury-problem. You make money from the software, so you're effectively paying a negative amount already.

Anyway, this is not about definitions.

In the end, it might be in the interest of companies too if every company paid for their FOSS. Right now, it is not in the interest of companies to pay because that would be an advantage to their competitors. So in a way, it's a vicious cycle that needs to be broken.
In fact, those are probably the only ones who really need the stimulus in the first place. It's not like someone with $400 on a bank account and a stimulus check of $2000 is at risk of spending it all on something nonessential like Bitcoin or Tesla stocks instead of paying rent.
On the list of most marginally relevant edge cases, I think "beach proof design" ranks pretty high.
So I view a difference here between choosing a tool and designing a tool.

As a user/consumer, sure, you mostly decide pragmatically. Though values do come into play. For instance, if you value extensibility over approachability, you might be ok choosing a more complex tool even if it is more difficult to use at first.

But if you're building or designing a tool and you're making trade-offs, your values end up defining what you design and build.
hmm in terms of neomacs, is this what remacs was trying to do but in rust?
What sensor data and how much depend on the access needs: you can keep N latest records or some rolling aggregated data, if they are frequently accessed by some rule engine. It's certainly not feasible to hold big chunks of sensor data in memory.
Sorry for this tangent.

"
Trump is a russian asset" theory true. Are parts of it true? I know bunch of people went to jail and stuff. I want to research this but there so much out there i get even more confused.

How should i think about this whole 'russian collusion' thing? Seems like it completely fell off media radar when covid showed up on the scene. Is putin really behind whats going on in USA.

Anecdotes are not data. I can easily counter yours with mine:

I use such a dongle a lot whenever I am presenting on conferences etc, and have been doing so for many years (even before the all-out for USB-C/Thunderbolt on MacBooks, there were no VGA ports, while many projectors still were; now I see a lot of HDMI, but still need the adaptor).

And I habe yet to have a single issue caused by that! Sure, damaged VGA cables and other weirdness, but never ever anything tracing back to the dongle.

In the same time I helped lots of people who struggled with their laptops with builtin VGA/HDMI Granted, usually not the laptops fault but rather PEBKAC / or people not knowing how to control Windows / Linux. Doesn't really matter: my point is that I see zero correlation between dongle usage and projector troubles.
It was the contrary for me. I think it helps understanding that we are actually put a value to each line of code that gets executed, but instead of microbenchmarking, we do it in an abstract way, say print gets c1 constant, addition gets c2 and the like. For loops will multiply the instructions’ sum inside them by the number of times they get executed. And basically that’s it. You sum the whole thing and get something like (c1+c2)n+c3 for a for loop over an n element list or something with two instructions inside and one other outside the loop. Since these were arbitrary constants, c1 and c2 can be replaced by another one, so you’ve got cn+c3, and since (I’m not gonna be mathematically rigorous here) as n changes, it will be much larger than the others, we are only interested in it, hence it was an O(n) algorithm.

The eye-opening thing about it was that for simple algorithms, I only need high-school math to analyze them for different measurements. Like, memory allocation is costly for this sort of application and I want to measure that, just count each malloc instead! (But do note that it is quite hard/impossible to rigorously analyze programs for modern CPUs with cache misses and the like)
Listen Audiobook on Android is awesome. I've been using it for years. I do worry that it might be abandonware at this point, but it works very well. I keeps all the metadata (current position, bookmarks, etc) in the AudioBooks folder (where you store your audiobook files) so it's trivial to back it up, move to a new device, or seven set up sync.
Just saw a tweet thread a couple of days ago and this question reminded me of the last tweet: https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1341587206285053963 where a writer for The Drive and few others got blocked for questioning his research into Tesla's Autopilot safety
My problem with sublime was it was just less polished. Harder to find extensions. Extensions randomly don't work. Etc.

Vscode strikes a good balance. It's mostly got enterprise level of "polish" and stability, but still feels light-weight and flexible.
On the other hand Macs are heavily used by audio and video professionals, the Pro in the name doesn’t just refer to developers.
I find this improbable. Kessler syndrome could well make it impossible to keep a satellite in orbit at certain altitudes. However it is unlikely to create a “shell” that prevents space flight entirely. Kessler in LEO would be cleared fairly quickly (a generation or less) and at higher orbits the debris would be less dense due to the volume of orbital space it covered, which expands at the square of altitude. If we were really determined to get off the planet, I don’t think it would stop us.
That's a good point, but generally "frugality" doesn't refer to unit costs, which are the thing you're describing. It usually points to things like "buy laptops on craigslist instead of new."
I'd be surprised if a 13" Surface doesn't charge well enough at 100W, though.
Sharding is a dead end. Zero knowledge rollups solve most of the scalability problems without compromising security.
Contrary to the other replies to you I think that most people do "make choices based on values" but the crucial problem is "given enough information".

Remember that everyone of us is in an information bubble. We constantly filter out unimportant information based on our experiences.

If you are using Emacs and encounter a new problem you will first try to solve it with the tools you are used to (if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail).

Finding new sources of information to change our filters is hard. Think back to the last time you came to a completely new technology and how lost you feel until you get a good grasp about it and how much of an uphill battle this can be.

The sunk cost fallacy runs deep there as well. Going back to something you know already well enough is often a tempting option.
This is a perfectly fair suggestion, though I'm not sure what this would actually look like in practice.

"No more than 20 bigotry/incitement to violence points per user per day"?
I think it's much simpler than that: if there is intelligent life, it is at the same level of development that we are.
Besides what point? I started the thread making the point that I don’t agree with that “something”, so no I’m still very much on point.
I've tried all of them, and still prefer vim because it's the least hassle to install/configure anywhere - my dotfile setup installs my plugins automatically, and I'm set.

However, I do use VSCode extensively as well, largely because of the language servers. But sometimes it takes so long to start up (and nags me to do so many updates to itself and extensions) that I just toss the window aside and use a native Mac editor (like Textastic) to work while it finishes.

Sometimes I don't go back -- it's all a matter of taste, really.
+1 for Voice. Has exactly as many features as I want, like sleep timer, bookmarks, and a dark mode. There's no ads and it doesn't cost a dime.

And this observation does have empirical backing and is known as the “Spotlight Effect”. The more careful definition of it (which I agree is not the point of the pithy story) is “People tend to overestimate the degree to which others notice them and their failings.”

(Caveat that I haven’t looked into how deeply this has survived the psych and social psych replication crisis)
F-35 is doing just fine at the moment.

It looked bad because it was the first modern aircraft to be developed under the watchful gaze of the internet, now it's doing much better in simulated combat as it's aged. It's not even that expensive anymore - it's not cheap by any means - but the new F-16 is basically the same price.
Another scam paper published in a “scientific” journal

What does that have to do with anything? Her job was a web developer, not a data scientist. None of those qualify her to understand statistics better than the plethora of those employed by the state that are working diligently.

Plenty of employees have been let go for spreading falsities around COVID, most having been on the other side (COVID isn’t real etc). These behaviors are absolutely unacceptable and are dangerous.
I did. I also should stop starting sentences with "No,".

Apple has had minimum standards since the app store was made, so...since over a decade ago?

> This is a slippery slope, we used it to silence a sitting president..

Maybe if he didn't want to get banned from a platform, he should've avoided constantly lying and breaking the rules of said platform?

Like, you're literally suggesting "the president should be above the rules".
For sure. You are the protagonist of your own movie but a supporting role in other people's or even just an extra.

If you think people think about you all the time, then you benefit from the message of this story about the 20, 40, 60 year olds.

But don't take it too literally. It matters how you present yourself and what impressions you leave.

The good news is, you have to be really really bad to leave a long lasting bad impression (except if you personally screw someone over or cheat against them even in minor ways - people tend to remember that) and failed but honest attempts to get ahead don't tend to compound, but success does compound. Meaning it's worth playing a numbers game and diversifying your potential outcomes. A good impression can lead to a lot of value for years to come, a bad impression often simply means you can try again elsewhere with added experience.
Post your idea and say what you bring to the table, if you don’t do these things nobody will even look twice because it shows you’re contextually unaware
Definitely paying too much @ $40K/$30K. Audit firms will cut their costs - don't take their first offer, it's a negotiation. Renegotiated down every year...they will want to reduce churn. Also, there are open source versions of Vanta and similar but those aren't really necessary - helpful - but not necessary. Same for pentests - I have had this conversation many times with SOC2 auditors to show me where it says you must have a pentest - many SOC2s later, never had to have one. That said customer contracts may require it, and some even specify the firms or onerous requirements for the chosen firms. We often argue Red Teaming exercises are better and win with that. I'll post a list of cost saving ideas up if anyone is interested. As for ROI - SOC2 is really only a sales enablement tool, nothing more. So it's really how many enterprise deals you will lose without SOC2 vs. how many you will win, and at what revenue. You can also negotiate transparently with your customer - most will say they want SOC2 but then if you add in extra cost to cover it, they back off. Until you have a 100K+ recurring (3 year ideally) deal ready to walk away, push back hard and be transparent with them on the added costs for paperwork. Offer to have a call with their security team and walk through your real security processes instead. Most customers are reasonable once you get past the outsourced procurement team. Helps to have a business sponsor who can cut through the red tape.
Because it's ugly. It's just not an elegant Apple-ish solution.
If my Yubikey gets stolen, how do I log in into my accounts?

I have a friend who works in intelligence who said Fauci was corrupt and callous in April. In regards to all the profiteering in testing.

Love how our society has become so welcoming of “CIA officers” on CNN and the media just merged with the political corrupt aspect of the IC. Neoliberal rackets.
Frugality feels like it is much more related to the movement of a washing machine, so maybe the issue is the word itself.
Most apps nowadays are mobile apps or web apps. A few are put in Electron for desktop, very few are made for desktop first.

Yes a touchscreen can be inconvenient in some positions. That's why you have devices such as the Surface pro or the foldable laptops you mention.
That's also available with emacs, though, it has its own extension ecosystem that's about as easy to access as VSCode's.
