> Hate speech inciting violence

Interesting, but what I don't understand is ... if Trump clearly incited violence, why was he not convicted? Would you say that the American justice system is not fair?

*edit: responding to comment from zimmerman below,

I watched the full trial, but have not seen any clear arguments made in favor of proving incitement. The legal scholar Jonathan Turley explains it better:

"The reason is that while the crime is not clear, the case law is. In Brandenburg v. Ohio, the Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that even calling for violence is protected under the First Amendment unless there is a threat of “imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”

Trump never called for violence and instead told his followers to go to the Capitol peacefully to “cheer” on those challenging the electoral votes. Such protests at capitals are common and, while reckless, Trump’s speech could as easily be interpreted as a call for protest rather than violence."

You only need to do multicloud if your customers are in multiple clouds and you deliver into their cloud. Even so, you will be primarily in one cloud and have minimal setups / test processes in others. Otherwise just do one, with the exception that you may need a very specific product from one of the non-primary clouds.

Security, auth, costs will all be important.

Having a unified schema will be difficult, or likely impossible once you need to be detailed about something.

Anyone considering multicloud needs to think long and hard about why they are considering it, exception the first case.

I think you misunderstood the GP comment.

I understand the GP comment as saying "First commercial fusion power station construction will start 2050-2060" is different from "Perpetual motion machine construction will start in 2050-2060" or "FTL spaceship construction will start in 2050-2060" for the very reasons you gave (among others).

You read the GP as saying something different from what you are saying, but I think you are actually both saying the same thing.

It's not for fullscreen games, it's for Windows windows. There is a separate effort for fullscreen games: https://github.com/varmd/wine-wayland

I get what you are saying - but Hindutva in spite of a ham fisted approach is also effective at least in political sense that it is Simple and simplistic. India is layered with fragments like caste, region, etc. In some cases Hindutva replaces the more devious kinds of fragmentation. In spite of the rhetoric India under BJP has less communal strife than 80s or 90s. I hate to say it but I will say it anyway, you need to break eggs to make an omlet and I take no satisfaction in it, but there is going to be strife in some communities ending up being political losers.

I am surprised to even hear Thomasites who are one of the socio-econmic mores facing persecution in a state where BJP has no footprint.
There's a sort of disconnect going on in our sense of justice between gaining explanatory power to describe why a person did something, and that person's culpability. We seem to think if we can understand why they behaved in such a way (for instance, they were victims themselves, they had a mental disorder, etc.) they must merit compassion. The converse is perhaps more troublesome: if we can't understand how someone could have done that thing, it is somehow more heinous.

My view is that this dynamic in our collective compassion does not help us accomplish justice. It seems that to pursue justice we must believe in agency of the individual. Agency to, no matter what their circumstances, make the right choices. As soon as we begin to weigh our explanatory power over individual agency we lose justice. Am I happy this man met justice? No, it's deeply sad and points to an irrevocable brokenness in humankind. Was it deserved? Yes. It was.

I've started to lean more and more against versioning as time has gone on. The problem is that it's an invitation for users to stay on a specific version indefinitely. Which makes your life much harder as you have to ensure all of these old versions continue to work while backporting critical fixes. I prefer a continuous deprecation cycle where you support things in parallel for a while, then add deprecation warnings, and finally remove the functionality. How fast this happens depends on how critical the issue is.

Versions make sense in a lot of areas where stability is needed. But they should be seen as issuing binding contracts to your users. You should spend a lot of time thinking about what the terms and conditions are before doing so.
That's simply not profitable. We're a society driven by the profit motive. There is a vanishingly small amount of profit to be made there.

It has significant tradeoffs and fits some projects better than others.

React Native has quite a few benefits over Flutter. Especially if building for the web, I’d actually say Flutter is only usable now if you don’t build your web app with it. Which in my cost benefit analysis makes it miles behind RN, but of course, that’s why it depends.

It does. But I was never surprised that there were people willing to bet for Trump. I was surprised by the lack of people taking the opportunity that was sitting there for over a month to bet against them.

UnitedHealthCare is an example of this on steroids.

UHC basically can't show a huge profit. Otherwise they'd be subject to investigations and pilloried for profiting off of the misery that is the US health care system.

But they make money hand over fist, because... it's the US healthcare system, and they have an effective monopoly/dominant cartel position as one of the four pigs at the trough (trial lawyers, doctors, insurance, drug/device companies). So instead of profits, a gigantic management tree has built up, and the managers take all the money.

Then tell their workers they aim for the bottom third of market compensation.

Colleges seem to me the same way: no "profits", but suck in huge amounts of money as the tuition skyrockets. Hmmm, and suddenly a huge administrative/management/MBA apparatus has appeared in higher education? You don't say.

Salary was basically a contract with employees to take steady income and employment (once upon a time ....) while the management layer and stockholders will eat the gravy. Motivation in that contract is strictly around 1) access to management for the "ambitious" and 2) don't get fired for the rest.

Hand in hand in IT with not being able to get things done quickly is that doing things quickly is high risk, and that violates the core motivation of almost everyone in the #2 don't get fired crowd.

Salaries = risk aversion.

I think you misunderstand the authors point. There's unskilled aspects of a job that seem like an allocation waste to have skilled labor handle. But to properly account for some costly errors and such, an unskilled worker has to be trained...making them a skilled worker that should be able to better allocate their time elsewhere than the unskilled tasks.
Wow, at least from the screenshot in the README, the binary size is much smaller. However I think that's just from the fact that they don't bundle the JavaScript engine and the rendering engine into their binary. You're right though, seems abandoned.

There are multiple kinds of freedoms, I suppose.
For immigration, yeah, being free to move somewhere seems clearly freedom. A freedom to do something.

Not being forbidden from practicing ones religion is also a freedom to do something.

Being free from being discriminated against on the basis of religion is a different kind of freedom, I think.

There is a similar way to split the third kind.

I suppose the boundary between “the freedom to do x” and “freedom from being treated badly for doing x” is kind of fuzzy. It would be absurd to say that “we have freedom of immigration, it’s just that basically anyone who comes in we happen to shoot.”, in such a situation, people are clearly being forbidden from immigrating.

But if someone is endlessly harassed by people, and treated with extra suspicion by the police, in response to their practicing their religion, yeah, that is kind of going against freedom of religion kind of in the first sense, or perhaps somewhere between the two senses, even if officially by law there is nothing forbidding it, and another law says that no law can be made which does forbid it.

But, even if things like this show that the distinction between the two senses is kind of fuzzy, I still think that the distinction is still somewhat relevant and somewhat reasonable.

A self-consistent rightist could very well support nearly-open borders, and legal protection of the practice of other religions, and oppose attempts to criminalize or otherwise legislate against LGBT things, on the basis of freedom, while at the same time also being somewhat discriminatory on a personal level against one or more of those groups.
I think a better electron would be an Electron that you can build only with the features you use(i.e I don't use websql, I don't need CORS, web notifications, nfc, bluetooth, hundreds of legacy js and css features, no pdf/print support etc). I'm pretty sure that if you can drop all the stuff you don't use you get better performance/efficiency.

For those who look first at a project's last release, Exult could seem like abandoned software but it's really not - it's done and finished like xterm. There's (almost) nothing left (of consequence) to do. Which is not to say it's perfect, but it's stable, allows you to complete the entire game and all side quests, allows a bigger viewframe which of course breaks the game in some ways but is an extremely useful comfort addition, etc.

Nuvie is also good and has seen much more rapid progress in the last decade. It's great that these projects exist and of course dosbox will run both games smoothly and has for a long time too.

I'm more skeptical of the remakes myself, the original graphics in VI and VII still look great, it's one thing to give, say, a 3D shooter game the enhanced remake treatment. Real-time 3D rendering speed and quality has improved by leaps and bounds yearly or so for decades now. But pixel graphics can't really be improved with any technology ducks to avoid scaler warring and you lose all the charm by translating the games into the 3D rendered realm.
So what changed?

It is my understanding that the WinAPI requires absolute window positioning to function. — has Wayland since offered that?
Yeah, if Las Vegas can figure out how to make do with the Colorado, I'm pretty sure Atlanta will be ok.
The issue here is the “potential reach” calculation when setting up an audience/targeting for a campaign. It has nothing to do with the billing for actual impressions. If you say you want to target “English speakers in the US” the potential reach may say 200M. However your ad spend limits and frequency and bid options and ad creative ultimately determine who sees the ad at what price, and generally prevent you from ever hitting that max reach anyways. Apparently that potential reach calculation was known to be off by some percentage (maybe overestimating potential reach). It has no bearing on what you get charged as an advertiser and I doubt this disrupted any campaigns.

Counterfactual history is a fun game, but there aren't any rules.

I think it's more likely, for instance, that Cuba would have just been invaded and 'restored' after its Communist revolution, since the Russians wouldn't have had the ability to project the kind of power that they did during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But like, who knows? Maybe Colombia would have conquered the entire Spanish speaking world and tried the Rio Grande.

In case you missed it, we are in a comment chain where a poster is using a cost of living calculator to do exactly this

"$150k in Austin equates to $236k in Seattle (knock off 35%)
$150k in Austin equates to $296k in SF Bay (knock off 50%)"

That literally only makes sense if you're using 100% of your salary for cost of living. This is what you're responding to.
Vaccines for children are in study phases now and expected late this year (for 12+, next year for the next group). Of course we need herd immunity, but signs are showing it is possible. The animal reservoirs are a real concern though.
Conflation is a huge accessibility concern and it’s not possible to mandate cross-government without some unified international government body. Even within the US, spatial data conflation is a major technical and political problem at the federal level, since the data is mostly collected at the state and municipal level, then rolled up into a Frankenstein dataset. The truly global nature of OSM is unique and the geographic diversity of coverage is unrivaled even among commercial sources, much less governmental.
> If the company's stock declines, your RSUs are still worth something since the "basis" is $0. If you leave the company, your vested RSUs are still yours.

The quotes around "basis" here make me think you probably know this, but just in case someone needs this nit picked: this "basis" being referred to here is emphatically not the "cost basis" for tax purposes. If a $50 share vests and you sell it for $55, you have a cost basis of $50, giving you $50 income and $5 capital gain.
Indirectly, sure. Predatory capitalists love regulations, when they get big enough.
>Two world wars later and we've decided that maybe Nationalism isn't such a great thing

The states that brought Germany down in both world wars were just as nationalistic at the time. Even the commies brought it back when they needed it the most - and it worked.

Also, since the country in question here is India - without nationalism, they would still be a colony.
>I assert that you still require another "mind" to read/note the "meaningful effects"

The issue is less that you need another mind to "note" something, but whether two independent minds will come to the same conclusion when undertaking independent analyses. We think mathematics is objective because two intelligent agents with entirely different histories will ultimately discover much of the same mathematical structure. The consequences for mutual information and entropy of a given process would reveal itself to a sufficiently determined analysis.

The meaning/effect translation works at first glance because computation is a species of causation. The question is, are there features of computation that a general causation description doesn't capture? I think so.

An example is that causation does not require an input with some amount of mutual information, any "input" will do. Remember, mutual information is the shared information between two systems, self information is mutual information with itself. Everything has self-information, few systems have mutual information. My definition constrains the analysis of causative processes to inputs with mutual information.

As another example, consider the sentence "the program I wrote to invert a matrix has a bug, its output has no meaning/effect". Replacing meaning with effect and the sentence completely changes meaning.

>That's borderline theological.

I think you are misreading Dennett's claim here. He's not using "meaning and life" in the sense of grand notions of the human spirit, he means it very matter-of-factly, in the sense of meaning as the content of communication and life as in biological processes. Dennett is about as far from theology and the woo-peddlers as you can get.

>I'm sure you've must have had your share of epiphanies and bolts out of the blue insights.

I would characterize epiphanies like this as the result of sub-conscious processes ruminating on prior inputs from memory.

Isn't it already though? Besides for those self-diagnosed tumbrlinas complaining about "no serotonin". It's pretty well established that Dopamine, Norepinephrine, etc play a huge role in depression. Serotonin is a small part of it.

And anyway, I would bet almost all cases of depression ultimately stem from ineffective behaviors and thoughts, not some fundamental chemical imbalance.
That occurred to me as well, but I imagine this is separated from the communications.

Maybe it's not controlled at all... it does say autonomous, after all.

I agree with your point, although I wouldn't go so far as to say OSM shouldn't have to exist. There is still a lot of value in a global, collaborative mapping project that can be updated by anyone, on the ground, within seconds of a change. Official government maps can take much longer to show new buildings, road changes, etc.
Just hopping in to agree about UO, one of the primary gaming experiences of my life. A fascinating culture, community, and experience. Chesapeake baby.
I'm kind of amazed in retrospect how readily they adapted a late 80s game into a mid 90s MMORPG - and it looks almost exactly the same. It wasn't until the first expansion pack I think, that they added better/real 3D isometric graphics. I never liked the new graphics either, I really wish there were easy to play modern UO worlds, it was quite a fun game :)
Vaccines generally work enough differently from the disease that even if immunity from an infection would fade after 90 days, the vaccine can still work for years.
Data from 2015: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/world-ip-ad...

IP Addresses per person.

I think that by now (2015 --> 2021) and by making smartphone data packages cheaper, we all have a couple of IP addresses. Of course for anyone in an office, or behind a home router, it may look like there is a single IP address, while someone may have a smartphone, laptop, 1-2 tablets, a smart TV.

We are definitely outnumbered.
A bit useless considering that's exactly is his point, that there is no agreement about that, you think it was inciting hate speech and he does not, so why Twitter should be in control of who is right? Obviously other powerful entities will want to be the deciders.
