Banning speech by half the population is not "soft power" anymore in the world we live in.
Reminder that Parler's claim to be in support of free speech was bogus, as their CEO would personally work alongside a team of volunteers to ban anyone that joined the platform and posted left wing views.

Ajeya Cotra on worldview diversification and how big the future could be
I play a lot of Digital Combat Simulator, which models a lot of these planes. At first I was interested in shooting things, then I was interested in the flying, but in the end I learned I was most interested in the computer systems and how these games are mostly virtual simulations of old computers. It's fun to see what changed over the years and between cultures. The MiGs are completely different than their Western counterparts. How you navigate from point to point is often completely different. It's also interesting how durable the UX of MFDs were in cockpit design. When I went for my GA license, it was funny to see how many newer models of planes had moved to "glass" cockpits. It some ways, it felt like putting wifi on your fridge. Most of the GA planes folks fly were made in the 70s.
There's already a buck/boost on the board. It's just limited to 5.5v max. It's also not that specialised, given that we've got people like adafruit advertising that the pwm is for servos, and lithium polymers are a hugely common power source.
> On the other hand, different axles don’t have to use the same gearing ratio. That’s how dual motor Teslas work - the front wheels are geared for higher speeds, and more power is shifted towards those as you go faster. No gear-shifting required.

Yep. Alternatively, the Porsche Taycan has an 2-speed transmission gearbox (cf. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28903274/porsche-taycan-t...). I don't think gearboxes are going to become mainstream in EVs, with the exception of performance vehicles like this one.
Ha, thanks for the idea! I was briefly thinking of buying 2933 "MHz" RAM for the test (as I later would put it into my other workstation that can go up to 2600 "MHz" only), but then I realized I don't have time for this right now (will do my throughput, performance stability tests first and maybe look into getting the most out of the latency later).

To be clear, it's a bit broader than that. WinRT is a specific subset of windows APIs, and the Rust bindings for that have existed for a while. This is for all Windows APIs.

I love Fastmail. Well worth the money.
If it were a dichotomy as you suggest, it might also be worth looking at why “conservative” or “right” leaning groups have not made inroads in these areas.

I believe it is because to be break out successful in any medium that demands an array of skill you must not discriminate against people: The company must not have or create a forum for a culture of exclusion.

That is to say, it should not matter if a person is gay if they are skilled in acting, coding or teaching. They are welcomed for their talent.

However, these “right leaning” groups typically are at best on the back foot of accepting the reality of diversity. And are often financially backed by people who seek to make laws that restrict the freedom of others to protect some existing homogeneous power structure.

So lack of traction in these industries is because you can’t constrict the talent pool to fit a narrow idea of what a completely equally protected human is and expect to get enough talent to be very successful.

Did you read the tweets they used as justification?

A man simply saying "I'm not going to this event" allows them to suddenly become mind-readers and clairvoyants, able to not only read one's mind to determine what they REALLY meant, but also how others in the future will interpret it. Even Nostradamus didn't possess such foresight.

Yet actual, obvious child sexual exploitation is seemingly a low priority for them.

It's just interesting, their priorities. But not exactly a mystery.
> They are fundamentally different from the paper and ink signatures they are named after in that they can give an entirely anonymous person a consistent voice over a long period of time.

The fundamental difference is the medium not the properties. People can sign papers with false signatures and be erroneously identified as the actual party. That is why there are notaries, to authenticate the identity of the signer, subject to trust in third party documentation.

For example, people steal houses by signing false quit-claim deeds. Signatures on paper do not have any positives properties over cryptographic signatures.
50 Senators are Democrats or caucus with them, and the Electoral college just put a Democrat in the White House -- so you can't really make such a claim with a straight face.

If you can't see why Bitcoin is a threat to the status quo such that it could theoretically justify "Deep State Operatives" trying to either outright stop it by murdering the founder or compromise and neuter it by taking over the project, I don't know what to tell you.

I'm not saying anything about how likely it is or isn't, just that it's a theoretical possibility that someone in Satoshi's position would be considering.

And I find your dismissive references to absurdities like Q-Anon to be wholly inappropriate and a cheap shot.
I'm not surprised. I don't doubt you one bit about the performance difference, but, given how much fun I've had toying with MicroPython the BBC micro:bit (16MHz ARM Cortex-M0), I just don't care. I'm comfortable with C, and have had plenty of fun with Arduino, and I would happily switch to it if my performance needs required it. But, insofar as MicroPython lets me get from idea to working thing much more quickly, and insofar as my ideas are never something that require much performance, MicroPython boards have become the thing I reach for first when I'm looking to have some fun after dinner.

If you do not believe that words cause actual harm, then you don't know anyone who's been in an emotionally abusive relationship.

There is no shortage of women with PTSD from such relationships who've spent the past four years continuously triggered because Trump acted just like an abusive boyfriend or husband, and it was difficult to avoid him on the news or on social media.
Possibly, but I do wonder if there's a difference between American and European cats as far as the drug response goes.
It would probably help, but there is still the enormous noise floor to contend with. Jet Fighters are unbelievably loud. I mean that literally. If you've never watched one take off you would think I'm exaggerating the noise level. It's hard to describe because most people have never experienced something that loud.
Just want to echo this. I've been using Bitwarden for about a year now, and a few months ago, my mum (not technologically literate) had her email hacked. Getting her set up with Bitwarden & teaching her how to use it was one of the easiest experiences I've had when introducing her to new software. Really well designed.

> A big piece of career advice I have for any folks that feel like they're in dead-ends or are just getting started is that, in modern society, you should be constantly expending time and energy to ensure you're in the most personally rewarding position - the world is a cruel place where the socially awkward and introverted have a constant uphill battle to not be exploited.

This was both uplifting and an apt commentary on how to survive in the modern age.

Well said.

> Oh and we're all super lucky to be in tech because in a lot of other fields there is just no way to advance yourself.

I feel like this is a pretty cynical take. Really, what's happening is that more and more jobs are becoming tech jobs. It may not be as glamorous as going to stand-ups each morning, but there's plenty of opportunity out there and we're just in an awkward transition period where societies are trying to play catch-up with, historically-speaking, a lot of changes in a short amount of time.

Whether that transition ends with peace or chaos is going to depend on how easy the transition is made for everyone
I said "favors". The 50 Democratic Senators represent 40m more people than the 50 Republican Senators. It's far easier for the balance to tip right than left.

The electoral college was decided by about 40k votes this time, and about 80k votes last time. The popular vote margin was in the millions. That should tell you something about how far the EC is from reality.
3. Corporations and the government are MERGING in the USA.

More than free speech, they have Free Market Rights. Ironically, those bitching about them removing Parler are usually the strongest supporters of the Free Market.
It would be nice if it were possible to be apolitical but in many respects it isn't depending on the nature of your business and that's a reality I think some people are reticent to accept. Corporations exist to make money and there isn't an industry out there that doesn't actively lobby in their interest.

Turns out being `apolitical` is kind of a myth.

Please specify what you mean by "the nodes". As I've discussed in other comments, the whole "full node" concept is basically made up and absurd; the security and therefore decentralization of the network is provided by miners. The network is only truly "centralized" if a faction gains a sufficiently large portion of the hashpower to perform a 51% attack.

And likely the third and fourth as well. The judge mentions explicitly that they don't think reinstating Parler is in the public interest.

Clearly Parler will suffer irreparable harm here, but they failed by a good margin to meet any of the other tests here.
Can they really expect to be reinstated? Suing for breach of contract and demanding compensation I can understand.
Their servers seems to be hosted in the USA though. That means they should be subject to US laws?

Money. Intel's operating income is about 66 times bigger than AMD's for example.

Unfortunately, I don't think it can be avoided - you can't have freedom of speech without having the worst of the worst be able to speak.

I dislike the people that support facist, racist beliefs, but I 100% will defend their right to say such things. In my opinion, once you start talking about restricting speech, you get into the grey area - who decides what speech to restrict? Off the top of my head, the most "capable" organizations would be either:

- The companies who run these glorified advertising platforms (which would regulate speech based on "how much money will we lose?"), or

- a Governmental body (which by its nature has a monopoly on violence - "if you say something we don't like, your social credit score goes down and you can't leave the country or we throw you in jail"). I think freedom of speech is a very large part of what makes America distinctive from other countries.

- Alternatively, we could have whoever the loudest complainers are control speech, which would be very reactionary - driven by misinformation or coordinated culture change campaigns(?)

If the people with abhorrent opinions decide to start causing direct physical harm to people in reality - that's when police, government, etc. should step in and penalize them - not social media companies or governments, or the vocal minority determining what people should and shouldn't say.
John Z's autobiography "On a Clear Day, You Can See General Motors" is an enormously fun read, both for what it says about GM in the 50s-70s, and what it doesn't say. My recollection is that most people writing an autobiography might use it as a way to acknowledge things they did wrong, or people they may have upset...not John Z.
It's not obvious to me that the spotlight has any special powers to make companies adopt high moderation standards. 4chan is still up, after all.
I worked for a very small hosting company and we had to automatically detect and remove bitcoin miners because they were so common, I can't even imagine what AWS deals with. If AWS had to get a court order every time someone tried to do something illegal, or against TOS on their platform, the courts would be flooded immediately.
Shamir's secret sharing is the algorithm for splitting a key and requiring only a subset of pieces (so you can disperse it to 20 friends but only need 11 to agree to reform the key).

This would give you protection both against the amnesia route (where you fall unconscious, lose your memory but are totally fine afterwards) and the route where you're unable to manage your secrets at all (eg stroke resulting in longterm failure to maintain memories or make decisions).

You'd still, for the total lose route, need a replacement actor (someone acting on your behalf) to assemble and receive the key, and be the keyholder moving forward - and you would likely need to leave instructions with the flock of people having pieces of the key on how to select or confirm your future keyholder.

I know effectively zero about Parler's infrastructure, but I would say it's not that uncommon to build a product tied specifically to AWS. What really surprised me though is that it took them days to get even a static homepage up.
> Twitter doesn't have perfect execution of their moderation across all of their tweets, obviously, but they are at least making a good faith effort to remove content that has explicit calls to violence.

Isn't that mainly due to their amount of revenue? Are newer services supposed to be shut down because they can't(yet?) compete with Twitter on budget for moderation?
I get it, companies do not legally have to provide these services to right-wing groups persecuted off of Twitter. I'm saying that it's _morally_ wrong to deplatform.

Not necessarily because I enjoy having this speech hosted, but because isolating and pushing out so called "deplorables" is escalating the current American political conflicts to serious violence.

As I said in my other comment, when the disenfranchised can't speak, they get violent. If you disagree with these people, say that to them. Cutting them off from the mainstream public squares like Twitter and Facebook just creates a new generation of radicals.

Silicon Valley used to stand for freedom of speech for a reason.
Yeah, not sure where they got that.

The problem with the LN is that it's like a gift card (I said credit cards before but gift cards is a better analogy). I need to send $X on-chain to establish my "store credit" so that we can transact off-chain for future transactions, before eventually resolving on-chain at some point in the future.

Imagine network address translation but stupider by orders of magnitude :P

As this is an AMD machine - and as it's a workstation, not server, perhaps this is why they've restricted it in BIOS.

I'm not too much of an expert in PCI express - but if this workstation has 4 PCIe root complexes/host bridges, each capable of x32 PCIe 4.0 lanes - and there are no multi-root PCIe switches, wouldn't a lane physically have to communicate with just one PCIe root complex/CPU "port"?

First, the first set isn't a set of influencers. They directly legislate law.

I'm not American but having browsed Parler for say half an hour, if that is supposed to represent 'the other half', then I pray for the country.

I don't think American news media or academia or Silicon Valley skews left. It skews ... urban and educated? Silicon Valley seems libertarian-ish, news and media seems like they do in every other country. From here it doesn't even look like the US has organised, left-wing political actors.
Enjoyed this read beyond compare, reminding me there's fun and determination left to make ends meet.
I don't understand what's keeping the Parler team from just standing up their own servers in a garage somewhere. Its still an early stage platform, and its not like they were experiencing explosive growth as far as I understand.

This seems like a perfect use case for a small home server. If they find a revenue stream then they can scale to renting some rack space somewhere. I know its not as easy as clicking a button in AWS but its not totally debilitating.
Similar to how a car accident is interesting, perhaps. My wife checked out the site just to see if it was really that bad. She concluded it was. No doubt many installed it for the same reason.
I "pay myself first". I get up early and get at least 1 hour in on my side project. Sometimes I wake up earlier and so be it - 2 hours some days.
