yes indeed, ... no doubt for some tribes a total contradiction (if not an adversarial intent) what Western cultures consider their right. If a group is so socially different also smaller chance they see a host country as their final destination (at least not those in power). Then an appeal to "integrate themselves" is a harder sell since the speaker has not only no authority in their eyes but what is proposed means cultural genocide in their eyes. Pretty hard place to build trust from here (maybe over generations but not years imo).

unrelated: I do not want to give the impression that I am defending behavior which belongs to the stone age within our own societies. What might come across as too vague (or apologetic - though hopefully not), IMO the process is always violent for those who are on the receiving end of the more dominant system that incorporates them. Our own imperialist crimes in not too distant history (and still ongoing ones) indicate there is a lot of housekeeping still needed before we let the word clan get hi-jacked by our own (and perhaps unconscious) racial biases :)

"Linux" is more than coreutils. The Mac kernel is no where close to Linux in capability and Apple hates 3rd party drivers to boot. You'll end up running a half-baked Linux VM anyway so all macOS gets you is a SSH client with a nice desktop environment, which you can find anywhere really.

The point of my comment is that Intel doesn't know either and that's a bigger problem.
Well copyright is, when it comes down to it, not very logical.

In the digital world every picture, video, audio or other copyrighted material is represented as a number, which can pretty much be any number, if the encoding can be freely chosen.

Transferring and storing those numbers (looking at you π) could be a copyright violation or not, pretty much just depending on the intent.

Because proving intent is very difficult, the rules seem to have changed here a bit, so now the defendant would have to prove that they didn't intent to do so... Which might be even more difficult, but who with money and influence cares about that.
That doesn't seem to help your argument: it means that people deplatformed from FB/Twitter should also be deplatformed everywhere else, which doesn't sound like a great policy for freedom of speech or fostering a competitive marketplace.

There was a very real chance that Parler could have attracted a lot of mainstream people. Maybe the 70M people who voted for Trump would have gone there, and started posting baby pictures, which would improve their ratio a lot.
And also, what do you think warranties, dealer repair shops , and certified pre-owned cares are about? They are trying to take a cut of that business? If we could sell our games as a "certified pre-owned" DVD then it would have made a lot more sense to make a short, tight little single player game.
If the president is elected by popular vote, then significant amounts of voting fraud in any one state becomes a national issue. So does significant amounts of voter suppression. Opening that can of worms to be fought on a national scale... well, be careful what you wish for.
pcpartpicker.com spun off from /r/buildapc and seems to be doing really well. Of course it isn't a direct competitor, and they are still very heavily involved with the subreddit, so maybe there's some learning there.

Pay for a recurring service via a one-off payment? What could go wrong?!

Aside from that, a TV license is £157 a year. Let's say a TV lasts three years (which feels conservative, pretty sure I had my last TV for eight), you'd need to get the buyer to pay an extra £471 when they purchase their TV. How is front-loading such a payment in the interests of the viewer? Not to mention you don't have to pay the fee if you're only watching streaming services like Netflix.
Gotcha, that's why I added the bit about going through due process vs a private entity (especially an entity that runs an entire platform) deciding your speech is banned with no oversight.

This issue gets complicated, as stated cureently in your post, is of course correct.

I guess the conversation I want to have is a completely separate one: these companies have reached a massive scale, a scale that you could argue is of government proportions, and hence maybe should in some instances be handled as such.

Should Google or Apple get to decide who has free speech, at their scale?

I agree with you 100% - this is as of today a moral argument. My follow up question is, should it be?
Everybody hates shorts, but if you can sell for $40ish today vs $5 6 months ago and $20 last week, and you need/would like some cash, and you have a shelf offering ready to go, why not sell today?

If the price goes up to $80ish next week, then maybe issue some more shares to sell at that price too.
> It's not impossible that the universe is such a stack of simulations, and I'd argue it's worth looking into that, but it's not a solution to the question what the root of existence itself is.

I agree with rest of your comment except the above quoted line. I'd argue its a casual display of hubris that the universe can be hypothesized as a simulation rather than perhaps acknowledging we are reaching the limits of what we can percieve.

To that end, we have very little insight into many things. We still dont know whether light is a wave or particle or both or neither. I find it a leap of logic to jump from there to the universe might be a simulation which in a sense, it already is since perception is a result of our brains turning those same photons we have questions about into informtion by electro-biochemical processes. Do you not think there would be hard limits to such a fragile system?

We have out Pledge of Allegiance (and arguments over including or excluding "under God" from it.)

The thing about the USA is that what unites or unifies us is our shared values, not the (worship of) a King.

The whole point of democracy is that free people coming together to support each other can create a government more stable and durable and satisfying than Monarchy. The experiment is ongoing.

(It's also more humane: think about what a mind-fuck it must be to be singled out and told "you're the prince, you're the king". You have no personal freedom at all. Your whole life is regimented and programmed. What are you doing today? Put on this funny dress and sit on this uncomfortable chair for N hours looking stuffed while everybody else rattles around you like so many robots. Oh and by the way, a few determined people are trying to kill you all day every day, and some of them are your own family.)

Exactly. Reimplementing GitHub is not building a rival to GitHub. Like Wikipedia the value isn’t in the platform but the content hosted by the platform. Until there is a critical mass of open source software hosted Chinese GitHub provides very little value.

In the west we had a critical mass of open source software and then built GitHub. This is putting the cart before the horse.

I think you're right. There's been this long held belief that you can't create the level of prosperity seen in the U.S. and Europe without having a free(ish) and open society. China is showing everyone that there's another way to do it. I don't know why people keep underestimating China and the CCP.

I assume incumbents might end up in the position where their smaller competitors have to deal with less regulation. For example, if MySpace had been treated differently than Facebook, it might have brought MySpace down much more quickly, but at the same time kept a lid on Facebook’s influence.

As someone who has gotten to the top of Reddit front page twice with my free (no ads) web app I now cannot. It's all but impossible.

Mods are so over protective they will ban you for practically nothing.

If you attempt to evade the ban even innocently they will sniff you out.

I think Reddit's mod tools are disgusting and foster censorship and make Reddit a more negative and critical place.

A new post type as the OP suggests like IMGUR? This point is laughable OP. Good luck getting passed mods. They don't let you do shit like that anymore.

Mods rule with an iron fist on Reddit even to the chagrin of their communities. Shame on reddit and its handlers for taking Reddit in this direction.

I have since left reddit and only very casually browse it from time to time. Lots of group think. You will get banned simply for disagreeing with mods in some extreme cases.

Reddit didn't used to be this way. I had been a user there for over a decade. They so casually banned me it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Reddit has gone to the dogs or in this case the mods. It's embarrassing how far Reddit has fallen.

I met Steve and Alexis at MIT startup bootcamp. They were awesome. The reddit they created is no more.

I'm not disagreeing that right now there is strong ideological divide between a majority of people in rural and urban populations, that's patently obvious. But what is the justification for providing someone with a larger representation per-individual based on what are largely arbitrary boundaries? Why should votes from Massachusetts for a Republican president and votes from Arkansas for a Democratic president be rendered meaningless?
It wouldn't save you that much compared to just going with a VM, especially if it's computationally intensive.
Yes, this is true. The problem lies in that they've historically waved the free speech flag in one hand while throwing the banhammer with the other.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is misinformation -- not "allegedly," it is a straight up lie that was intended to stir up antisemitic hatred. The man in question used his print publication to propagate that pamphlet. That same man spent years using his radio program to promote the falsehood that the Russian Revolution was sponsored by "Jewish bankers" and the conspiracy theory that "Jews" were behind Bolshevism. In response to Kristalnacht he said that the persecution of Jews by the Nazis "followed" the persecution of Christians by the Bolsheviks, as if Kristalnacht was a response to what happened in the USSR. When he was challenged on his antisemitism he declared that he wanted the "Good Jews" on his side and that he was only taking a stand against the persecution of people generally (never mind his comments on Kristalnacht and support for the Nazi Party and the Bund).

So no, this is not an example of out of control censorship or a witch hunt or even a "mere accusation" ruining someone's life, nor was it simply that he was an opponent of Roosevelt (who, like every US president, had many political opponents). This is an example of someone who was fomenting religious and ethnic divisions by spreading the propaganda of one of America's adversaries -- while also being indirectly funded by that adversary.
>Reddit is great for lurkers

I disagree with this, at least for non-account users. Slowly the mobile website has gotten more and more closed for newcomers. It is not always possible to just read a quick reddit thread that comes up on google because of the "Sign-in to read more" that bombards your screen.
That's an irrational extrapolation, from saying that nobody should be obliged to amplify points of view they find disagreeable to suggesting that they are officially forbidden from doing so. It really misrepresents the argument made by the grandparent post.
"This advantage is very important for games, but not for most other purposes."

I disagree. The majority of desktop applications are only lightly threaded e.g. Adobe products, office suites, Electron apps, anything mostly written before 2008.
Gaming used to be a social and causal thing. The polar opposite of mainstream gaming today.

Before the lockdowns, playing modern board games at local breweries was fast becoming a thing. I highly recommend it.
Good advice. Thank you. I'd also add some sort of exercise. It doesn't have to be intense, and sometimes it's not even about the physical benefits. Just the ritual and the focus on something other than work or current events and the various chemical things that happen with exercise might yield more mental benefits than physical. Getting outside makes it even better, if your circumstances allow that. It's like getting good sleep (another important thing BTW). The difference won't be immediate or dramatic, but over sufficient time you'll feel just a bit better.
The idea of constructive possession of copyright infringing material is a little hilarious and sad.
These "marketplace of ideas" zealots don't operate on evidence. No exceptions or qualifications to the sanctity of free speech exist. Free speech is a faith, and no such heresies are allowed.

I love free speech. I think it's one of the most important things in society. But the whole "kill lies with more speech" meme needs to die because there's simply no evidence for it.

We should have free speech for its own sake, and recognize and mitigate its harmful effects as much as possible. If we don't, society will turn against free speech entirely and everyone will be much worse off.
My experience with R was somewhat different. R was my first computational language in 2006 (version 2.3, IIRC), and parsing real life data (biological, in my case) into a format acceptable to R was a non-trivial exercise. I had somebody write me a perl script to parse the raw data into a clean CSV, but that has its own problems. The tools that were the kernel of the tidyverse (created 2014) were just beginning to show up, and even magrittr pipes were many years away. The only tidyverse tool even close to mature at the time was ggplot. For me data munging was the limiting factor, and at some point I discovered many people prefer Python for these initial steps. In 2013 I learnt Python with the explicit aim of data munging, while continuing analyses in R. With Pandas I could cover 80% of my use case for R, and eventually dropped it completely. Again, this predates the creation of the tidyverse, which I noted with some irony.

For what its worth, Hadley Wickham was asked in a Reddit AMA several years ago about which platform he'd choose if he was just starting out. He pointed to Julia as his pick.
Presumably they could. I mean, if the EU legislators had intended for a monopoly to be necessary to be considered “dominant”, then they could have written “monopoly”, couldn't they? They didn't write that, so it seems safe to presume they didn't intend that. And if anyone is dominant, then who, if not the market leader?
Yes, but the point is that it breaks when you have different stuff between your LEGO. Classifiers that can handle anomalies are a lot more difficult to train.

Most DL-based classification libraries skip over this fact.
You're right. But unless you have $100m for legal fees, being right is irrelevant.
My first thought is that something like this would do well in my home town, where the average person is over 60 and a millionaire. Most of the area is zoned 5+ acre per lot, and no one wants to build by the road, so its plenty of old people with nice houses and long driveways.

I have no idea how poetry gets lost in a market system. There is nothing whatsoever stopping you from writing poetry and sharing it as you wish in a free market.

> not a good to be traded on a market

Sure it is. Mostly in the form of music lyrics, but also people make and sell poetry books all the time.

> And yet many (obviously not all) people value poetry to some extent

I don't know anyone who doesn't like poetry in the form of a song. People still sing along in social settings, too, like concerts, church services and birthday parties.

> It's also a bit of a silly question

Not at all. I would expect someone posing the theory to at least have something at the top of their mind they're regarding as a problem example. For you it's poetry, and I showed that poetry isn't suffering in the least under the yoke of a market system.
Me too, I really hate that! I wish they'd stop making that very obvious and simple mistake in reasoning!

...just so that _I_ can know that you know what you're talking about, can you elaborate on what that obvious mistake (which I clearly know about) is?

Everyone should know about jury nullification. I feel it's a violation of a right to a fair trial if the jury doesn't understand all the options, including that one.

The questions don't really mean much. People could honestly answer that they will apply the law, but how can they if their understanding of it is flawed, especially since that question takes place before the judge educates the jury on the law?

I don't think that either the US or Germany is actually representative of those two alternatives I mentioned. A "law and order society" that uses the police for law enforcement is a descriptor of both the US and Germany.

It's a cool statistic, but it only says that whatever the US is doing must be worse than whatever Germany is doing. You would also have to say that the two countries are sufficiently representative of law and order vs. extrajudicial, which I don't think is true.
How long before this strategy backfires? When does the CCP hurt itself because it stifled innovation? When does it have political problems because it suppressed the wrong thing? I can't tell if this style of governing is super robust or a house of cards.
