Clearly no agenda here. Twitter backing an illegitimate US backed tin pot dictator and denying the legitmately elected government a voice.

But i guess, private company and all that, doesn't matter if what they're doing aligns completely with US military interests or so the argument goes.

The way I see it, our curiosity and desire to explore is a reflection through our instincts of basic biological imperatives. Even bacteria "want" to explore, find new territories where there might be undiscovered resources, etc. Exploration is what helps a species survive long-term. We're smart, but the things we instinctively want are still a reflection of the basic things that any life form wants and needs.

I don't think you could have a super-advanced species that didn't want to explore, reproduce, wasn't curious. You couldn't have an advanced species that just went about doing the same thing forever. They wouldn't be an advanced species. They'd be some dead branch of the evolutionary tree that got pruned long ago, in all likelihood. Intelligence is fundamentally curious, just like lifeforms, even bacteria, if you squint hard enough, are "curious".

My state is moving on to phase 1b, which includes "those at increased risk of exposure or serious illness"

The irony is that this includes people with self-induced risks, like smoking.

They aren’t editorializing; they are arguably trying to remove potential liabilities from their service.

Having a censor mindset is going to be destructive to Twitter and the userbase. Now everyone is going to want to find and ban anyone who they see as violating rules. Making PR issues as they go to the media saying XXX was banned, but not YYY who is just as bad as worse. A huge Pandora's box has been opened.

This project reminds me of a similar one I participated in when I was in High School: https://eee.centrofermi.it/

Some students were sent to CERN in Geneva to build detectors (which were essentially sandwiches of copper strips immersed in an atmosphere of sulphur hexafluride and some kind of freon-like gas) hooked up to a custom ASIC.

I was tasked to check in with the logger PC and check if the gas flow was ok and if it was still logging etc...

The data was then sent to a central server and a map of the rays was built.
> When did a stupid 280chr “microblogging” platform become a channel for foreign diplomacy?

Approximately in 2009. That's the date of the first known public example of the State Department influencing Twitter operations for diplomatic purposes. In that case, it was to lobby Twitter to delay a scheduled shutdown because of events happening in Iran.

> To make an absurd comparison, should we consider the politics subreddit a diplomatic venue too?

Any highly trafficked site co-ordinated and administered in the United States is, yes.
I'm not sure if birth control is the greatest example of our genes being the enemy. Birth control is popular because raising a child is horrifyingly net-negative in the 21st century (unlike most prior centuries, where it made you richer and secured your future), and also because birth is incredibly painful for humans specifically. Both of those are unpleasant facts, and many people would consider our civilization better if they changed.

I've used it, it's very good.

I've started my own programmable cad after using openscad, I just couldn't look at aliased lines and weird colors anymore, plus making complex models is slow, and bevels are hard.

My own cad is still far from working, probably because I had the brilliant idea to start my own csg kernel. In the meanwhile I've stumbled upon CascadeStudio.

Cascade Studio is fast, looks good, available everywhere via browser. I was able to do a non-trivial model, add bom generation via console.log. It would be great if there was a standalone version as well, so larger projects can be built directly from the filesystem.

Anyway, it's good stuff, whishing the project all the best.
Habbo Hotel has (had?) a very heavy-handed approach to moderation after some 4chan trolling attempts many years back.

They went as far as completely disabling the ability to chat for a week.
When they started the warning labels on tweets three or four months ago, it seemed inevitable that it would escalate in this direction. It's happening even faster than I expected, though.
You are making multiple assumptions about "legitimate users", which biases against various groups:

1. They have (or are willing to use) an online payment source (credit card, paypal, etc.).

2. They have (or are willing to spend) a disposable income.

3. They trust you to get their money back.

Also, you're going to deal with a huge amount of customer service as every single person argues with you that they didn't violate the terms and deserve their money back - that's going to cost way more than any fees/interest you'd earning from the escrow.

CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 5
I take it with a grain of quantum physics. When traveling back in time you are entangling the state of the moment of time travel with a past state of the universe, and the universe must collapse into a steady state with a single history... The history in which the time travel did nothing.
The problem is "technically" still there in Windows it's just that Microsoft decided to push things along by creating WSL which essentially puts Linux (with Linux Containers) on Windows.

The Windows solution is the equivalent of Smart Hulk figuring out time travel.

I'm not saying it's not good, because it is.
> even if some other intelligent species would exist, maybe they would not have the same need to communicate, the same need or will to travel, the same need or will to innovate, etc.

This is true. But even if just a small fraction of civilizations engaged in interstellar expansion, they'd quickly subsume the galaxy on geological timescales. Darwin applies just as much across the stars as it does in a tide pool. As long as there's even a small amount of competition, it will push every player to aggressively expand.

The only way out is either 1) technological civilization almost never evolve anywhere. 2) Virtually every technological civilization winds up eschewing interstellar expansion. Or 3) a single player previously won the game, and used its dominant position to benevolently stop the game.

> A possible chink is that civilizations just don't do that -- carpet colonize the whole galaxy, or fill it with their probes to the extent that we seem them all over the place

This assumes that there are gazillons of alien civs yet somehow they all come to the same decision. That's much less likely than gazillions of alien civs all make different decisions and it only takes a single one to make the replicating probs or try to colonize.

A number of African countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination to enter. The vaccine certificate is issued by each country but conforms to a WHO standard.
I agree with other answers here, but as a pushback, maybe it's not Twitter but rather the press and spotlight on it? There was an obvious "bump" after the insurrection, but I wonder if it reverted to it's mean and now we're just focused on that metric as we weren't before.

It's interesting how Twitter is self-isolating.

Why would any other country use it now?

No doubt this will lead to countries leaving Twitter and making their own. Indeed at least Germany, France[1] and Mexico[2] realize the problem.

I would also like to add that Fermi’s paradox doesn’t assume humans are interesting, it just assumed probes are cheap. If probes can easily and cheaply be made to cover the galaxy (and we know that this is possible even without major breakthroughs), aliens don’t need to be excited about us to visit the neighborhood.
I think current Google would have made a significantly different decision than past Google. It's been a while since I've seen them make an altruistic choice that has cost them significantly the way losing China did.

Rather than use 3rd party CDNs, I serve assets from my own server. You can't rely on 3rd party assets to be 100% up all the time. Granted, you can't ensure your own site will be up 100% all the time either, but if your site is down, the assets go down with it anyway. Also: if a 3rd party asset is down, your site slows to a crawl as the browser hangs trying to load the asset, so best just avoiding them.

In that case clang, gcc and msvc would be considered low quality conpilers.

I get the sentiment: compiler bugs have a cascading effect, especially miscompiles (looking at you, clang). Crashed while compiling (looking at you, msvc) are also bad, but less serious.

In any case, you'd be surprised how many bugs a useful compiler may have.

For the record, I consider the three compilers I mentioned, having observed all sorts of bugs in then almost yearly, very high quality compilers.

We can mostly just work together to add to the mountain of regression tests that safeguard our open source compilers.

Maybe formal verification will some day produce bug-free toolchains, but we are not there yet for the production grade optimizing compiler.
That's where things are getting confused. Anything Twitter publishes is 100% their speech, and they have a free speech right to say what they like, and not say what they don't like.

Bacteria don't want to explore, they float around, and occasionally do gradient climbing to navigate to good chemicals. That's an example of a pro-survival technique that works very well, but is not going to lead to anything better. Every living thing on Earth except for people is an example of a living thing with some degree of intelligence, or at least beneficial control, but that does not have scientific progress.
Starlink will probably not be available in urban areas for home use. There is not enough bandwidth per km^2. It's meant for rural areas.
I think the assumption by many that we are being visited by aliens was based on the idea that the universe must be just teeming with intelligent life. Over time we are gathering more and more data that shows that may just not be the case. As we've built better and better telescopes we've found no evidence of Type III Civilizations. We've intercepted no interstellar communications or even errant radio waves. As we learn more about other stars we find that many of them probably create hostile environments for life on nearby planets due to solar activity. On top of that a number of studies have come out recently like these two:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-020-00057-8

https://phys.org/news/2018-06-advanced-civilization-universe...

that, through the use of models and simulations, come to the conclusion that we are dang lucky to have evolved on the Earth at all.

While I don't know that I was ever a believer in the Earth being visited by ETs, I always thought that we wound find evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy any day now. For the reasons above, I'm less and less convinced of that with every passing year.
The thing that's nice about compilers is that they're hard for reasons that actually make sense, e.g. trying to apply an optimization for a particular case where you have to precisely prove that it results in the correct behavior. Or figuring out which instructions are most appropriate given various constraints.

This is a different kind of hard than, say, the makework that dominates other domains: "oh I haven't touched this project in a month and it now is somewhat broken because dependencies have subtly changed in ways that I have to spend hours debugging."

I'm convinced some devs love the pain imposed by the former, while others can better tolerate the pain of the latter without issue.
I love this for a few reasons. First off, we get to see a deeper look into what Apple did, and I'm enjoying how they went outside the established norms... Sometimes the Apple cart (pun not intended) needs overturning.

Secondly, the fact that they are able to dig into this much depth bodes well for competitors to reverse engineer similar performance into other platforms

I assume people need some examples to better understand this, so let's provide some.

DMCA 1201 is totally useless at its state purpose (stopping piracy) because pirates can distribute their circumvention tools in the same channels as the pirated materials. If you could stop that then you wouldn't need DMCA 1201. So what it does in practice is act as an anti-competitive cudgel to prohibit adversarial interoperability.

The CFAA does something similar -- it's excessively broad and basically everything it prohibits which is actually bad was already prohibited by other laws.

There are a wide variety of financial regulations (mandatory chargebacks, KYC) that effectively require the result that you can't have a low-friction anonymous digital payments system. This means that if you want to consume media on the internet where the author gets paid instead of them paying to host content, without all your media consumption ending up in a dangerous central database associated with your social security number, it has to be supported by advertising. And then we're back to the dangerous central database.

These laws are harmful to a free and democratic society.

To be perfectly honest, in this scenario, there isn't much of an advantage.

The container approach is lighter weight, and I found it easier to manage the configuration via Dockerfiles. Managing a full VM with the OS install is a bit of a pain.

That being said, I worked at an organization that did the VM approach using Vagrant. It wasn't as nice as the VS Code/Docker approach, but the results were similar.
Right, but it’s not Willy-nilly. There is a process and chain of command, etc. It’s not something someone in the state department wakes up and decides, eh, I don’t like what Castro said. Let’s sanction them now. No, they have to offer reasons and go through chain of command.

How is this hypothetical species going to discover any medicine if they spend all their time writing birdsongs? Any individual with a slightly lower proclivity to write birdsongs will be evicted from the gene pool with great prejudice, so there is no chance that anyone will ever be born with the desire to spend a whole hour thinking about something else. Again, if this seems unrealistic, just imagine humanity with the mean "art vs. programming" balance of desires shifted a little bit towards art. There are many people who do not care at all about doing the kinds of things that lead to solving problems, and it is easy to imagine a species that is just them.

Can Old Wind Turbine Blades Be Repurposed for a 'Second Wind'?
It's hard to understand how you can take this point of view if you've ever met an average poor person. (The "poor who cannot take care of themselves" are a minority who require different support)

One definition of poor is that people do not have access to enough money to meet their needs.

And, poor people cannot meet the needs of getting more money: tasks such as education, job search, etc, are limited by an immediate need to get rent, food, and warmth.

If the government "gets out of the way", the safety net of being near-guaranteed to cover rent, food and warmth, will also quickly get out of the way, exacerbating poor peoples' problems.
