Game theory comes into play. If we have to compete with China then we can predict both nations copy each other. State level intervention in corporations, censorship in the name of public safety, maybe even re-education camps if some of the younger congresspeople had their way. We become more like our rivals when we compete with them.
> I miss being a teenager and thinking pervasive computing and connectivity would bring freedom rather than just rebuild traditional social structures but with complicated software mixed into them.

I miss being a teenager and thinking pervasive computing and connectivity would bring unbounded forms of communication & evolving, personalized mediums & interchanges rather than just ongoing increasing centralization of all speech activity into fewer and fewer large hubs (which we then under ever-increasing pressure war over how they ought be run).

I'm on the fediverse, where text is hosted almost entirely with two systems, Mastodon & Pleroma, which is better but still such a limited form of diversity/alternative. Projects such as scuttlebutt/ssb & gemini come to mind, as other people trying things. There's so much anger & distrust & hate of Big Tech, but I see almost none of the proportioned response I would expect, none of the resistance, the trying & supporting other attempts. The main thing that makes me miserable is how miserable everyone else seems to want to be. Go forth, find your golden paths all. The future is open to us. Build it. If we build it, we will come.

Correct. And despite this, many of my friends refused to pay the $1/£1/1€ on the basis that facebook messenger was free, as was SMS in their cell plans.

So I paid for them. Despite them all earning real money in real jobs.

Then Facebook bought WhatsApp, and now none of them are willing to move to Signal, because they like WhatsApp.

I dont think conservation of mass works like this between "disparate" points in the 4th dimension. It has to be continuosly connected. Otherwise things could appear out of thin air without causality. Reminds me of this software: https://4dtoys.com/ (4d is time in this case not another spacial dimension but the intuition about discontinuity still applies)
Speaking for myself, containers are started and destroyed faster. When using VMs, the tendency is to keep updating the software within the VM, making changes to their state, etc: this eventually leads to drifts. When using containers, if you need to make a change, you destroy the container and re-build it, and the state is always consistent with what you (and possibly your teammates) use
Good on Twitter, companies moving themselves away from being soulless, mindless machines where anything goes, is a step in the right direction.
You are basically summarizing the idea of cognitive behavioral therapy, but I don't believe it's been established it works better than ordinary talk therapy.

The cognitive behavioral therapist has to assume the human mind works a certain way, suffering is caused by "irrational" thoughts, and therapist is somehow more "rational" than their clients, so can help their clients be more "rational" like the therapist. These are some big assumptions.
There are two types of twitter suspsnesions:

automated suspensions due to reports, which can be appealed

irrevocable suspensions at the discretion of twitter staff

I suspect this is the former. If an account gets enough reports, twitter's algos will automatically suspend it. The account owner then has the option to appeal it.
I don't think he's really in control.

At least for python, just pinning the top level dependencies are not enough. if you pin tensorflow==2.4.0, it doesn’t pin its required packages, rather it just defines a range. An example would be tf will try to get wheel>=0.26 (which was released in 2015 and is currently on release 0.36.2)

I think the answer is far less clear in that scenario.
Did the state department issue an announcement or ask Twitter to do this?

Otherwise Twitter is interfering in foreign diplomacy and governments, be they legal, illegal, authoritarian or democratic.

Twitter should not be making these calls. This is a decision for the State Department to make.
Twitter will keep going until they're on the same level as Habbo Hotel.

"Only one drive manufacturer had enough failed drives in the dataset to produce a large enough subset, which we’ll refer to as Manufacturer A. Because this data treatment was so effective, and because most of the drives that had been in our fleet long enough to begin failing were already from Manufacturer A, we decided to reduce the scope of smarterCTL to only their drives."

I'd have dropped Manufacturer A from the supplier list and used the A only model for the remainder of their drives. Then I'd have another go with SmarterCTL for "not A".

Why is Twitter so aggressive with the suspensions these days, I mean there were such incidents in the past too
Removing 230 would lead to exponentially more bans, as Twitter would be liable for anything users said. Regulation? Well, do you want the government to force you to allow me to put political signs on your lawn? Same thing. Twitter is private property, they can kick you off if they want.
It heavily depends on the city, of course.

There's a volume feature that sped up disk access to mounted volumes quite a bit. You add ":cached" to any volume. This changes some of the guarantees around consistency, but I haven't had any issues. See https://www.docker.com/blog/user-guided-caching-in-docker-fo...
I think the major difference is that a microcontroller can rapidly enter and leave sleep mode, and will likely spend most of its time sleeping. The other Pi products do not support sleeping at all to my knowledge, which makes them an awful fit for battery powered devices.

A microcontroller like this should be able to sleep for microseconds at a time or possibly even less (but you can obviously sleep for long periods of time too), letting you spend the majority of every second asleep, just waking up for brief instants throughout the second (possibly thousands of times) to do work. This enables huge power savings over something like the Pi Zero.

You can also run the microcontroller at a lower clock speed to save more power, if you don't need to run at maximum speed to get things done.

I would be curious what process node this microcontroller is built on, because I completely understand why these numbers would be discouraging when the microcontroller is running at full tilt.

The national government is providing the drug for free and thus no one is allowed to charge for it. The provider can bill for the administration of the vaccine. If a patient has insurance, the admin is billed to the insurance. If not, it's billed to a government program called HRSA. At my hospital I have been told that if any insurance company tries to pass on a portion of the administration as copay/coinsurance/deductible that we need to flag that payment to call the insurance company because they aren't allowed to do that.
Economic equality means women don't need to pair up with men for utility reasons anymore, which means a lot of men will be leftovers since this has historically made up a huge chunk of all marriages. Polygamy or at least polyamory follows since sexual and emotional needs are better met by one man to many women pairings. This is very easy since online dating creates a super efficient market where most women have hundreds of options and most men have very few. Unmarried and sexually frustrated young men are generally unsatisfied with life and prone to engage in antisocial activity.

Protocols over platforms. Get to a critical mass in a blogging protocol such that posts can be shared between platforms and apps that each moderate, or don't, according to their own needs.

The power of Twitter is in their silo. When enough of us de-silo they lose their power.

Oh! My sides!
Same problem with PHP development, anyone trying to develop on windows for any real world framework will have epic IO lags, sometimes crashes with composer (equivalent to npm) and ALSO during execution time.

I work on linux, but try to onboard windows dev frequently ("windows dev", ikr ;) . The experience is always painful, and despite many efforts from the WSL team to move forward, docker for development on Windows is still barely usable right now ...

I'm not sure I understand the example you gave:

1. What purpose would escrow serve in this example? The user trusts the social media site, and the amount is small (like $1). So there's no need for a third party to hold/control the funds and determine when they are released to one party or another.

2. A spammer can just wait until day X+1 to start spamming.

That's what WhatsApp did (except that the trial lasted at least one year, and practically often much longer), and it worked wonders for them.

Even better: Offer a full-featured trial, allow incoming messages for free forever, charge the €4 only for outgoing messages after that :)
If anyone has resources with regards to any certification requirements for different countries but primarily USA/Canada before becoming an escrow service, that would be highly appreciated.

> being unable to study all ant species due to a lack of resources, and being uninterested in doing so.

Of course! That's my point.

Back to the alien analogy: if we believe that human-like life is as common across the universe as ants are on earth, then more-advanced aliens might well be philosophically interested in studying us, but not have yet bothered to reach us.

They might be busy "contacting" their local human-ish specieses who they see everywhere, all the time, and not think it is important to spend time contacting similar planet #12358 on the list, that's a bit further out of the way, and could take them a million years of dedicated effort.

I first heard this joke at an AI conference...

"An engineer, a physicist, a mathematician, and an AI researcher were asked to name the greatest invention of all time.

The engineer chose fire, which gave humanity power over matter. The physicist chose the wheel, which gave humanity the power over space. The mathematician chose the alphabet, which gave humanity power over symbols. The AI researcher chose the thermos bottle.

"Why a thermos bottle?" the others asked. "Because the thermos keeps hot liquids hot in winter and cold liquids cold in summer.", said the AI researcher. "Yes - so what?" "Think about it.", intoned the researcher reverently. "That little bottle - how does it know?"
a potential reason your startup didn't take off:

"If such a system were to become commonplace, it would introduce only a minor amount of friction for most legitimate users..."

first, that doesn't sound like minor friction, but more importantly, even seemingly small friction can lead to large abandonment, especially if frictionless alternatives are readily available.

banks love (large) escrow products by the way. super-low risk, low effort, and very reliable fee income for them.
Hmm.. That makes me wonder. Do "free speech" rights apply when it's not your speech? I mean, Twitter is not an editor, whatever it publishes is not its speech, it's someone else's.

Depending on the country, WhatsApp was “pay once a year” or free.

Yes, its fairly mainstream these days. Most subs have SAMs, or manpads. To pick a classic example, this article on the same site about Typhoon http://www.hisutton.com/The%20REAL%20Red%20October%20-%20Typ... says there are manpads in the sail.

British and Israeli subs experimented with blowpipe slaved to the periscope, which was a truly useless SAM. Those kinds of details are buried in the articles on that site :)

I'd guess that the idea isn't so much to actually sneak up on aircraft, but rather to give them something to evade while the sub tries to make its escape.

The article mentions it was for a "large European Pay TV company". Having Netflix function on it would be a large group of potential Netflix customers that already had a compatible device hooked up to a TV. Potential low-friction onboards.

You raise a really good point actually.

I've met christian, conservative, Swedish country-side folk who frown on anything the government considers illegal or drugs.

But at the same time will use catnip on a new cat toy as a tool to make the cat take to it. Or just watch it roll around for their own amusement.

Maybe that's a fringe example but I have had that experience a couple times.

More often I have contact with younger people in their 20s and 30s who don't view human drugs as anything morally wrong and just enjoy giving their cat what they assume is enjoyment.
Irrelevant, you can support EOL products or not. If your company does, you can gain customers but they may not be worth a lot.
Investors typically want users and growth. It doesn't look good to be declining, no matter how you spin it. And toxicity is in the eye of the beholder, generally.

I wonder if they have updated guidance and training for scoring non-white babies. Brown and black babies probably don't turn blue in the same way white babies turn blue. In fact, a brown baby that's off color may appear to be a "healthy looking" - to the untrained eye - pink when in fact they should appear brown when healthy. I'd be curious to see mortality rate deviations for non-white babies vs. white babies (especially in non-metro areas that are more homogenous).
