> Look: the most powerful governments, militaries, and intelligence services in the world have in recent decades tried to prevent the communications of terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, using the most sophisticated digital means possible and with the full backing of various publishing and social media platforms. And yet those organizations effortlessly shared their propaganda and their rhetoric and coordinated across distance all the same.

This isn't entirely true [1]:

> As of January 2015, ISIS had reconstituted its regional accounts with strong privacy settings, allowing only a small group of known ISIS supporters to follow the accounts and read their tweets. The content of the tweets—primarily news releases, videos and photos from ISIS’s various provinces—are then disseminated by a number of other smaller accounts using hashtags. After the initial dissemination, the content is more widely distributed, but at significantly reduced levels from early 2014.

> Despite this, the number of new accounts created dropped significantly after the first round of suspensions in September (section 2.5.4), and while we do not have complete data to make a positive assessment, it appears the pace of account creation has lagged behind the pace of suspensions.

Another study about the impacts of Twitter's more aggressive stance against ISIS found, "These findings support the notion that Twitter’s policy deteriorates IS followers’ ability to gain traction on the platform, likely hindering their reach to potential recruits. " [2].

A third study also concluded, "Our data showed that the costs for most pro-IS users of engaging on Twitter (in terms of deﬂated morale, diﬀused messages and persistent eﬀort needed to maintain a public presence) now largely outweigh the beneﬁts." [3].

Deplatforming seems to work to reduce the spread of extremist ideas, which then reduces the spread of extremist actions, based on the years of research we've apparently been doing on the topic prior to today. We can reasonably disagree on the philosophy (and this appears to largely be a think piece), but there are practical realities that cannot be ignored.

It would be a fire hazard to run low-voltage DC with the high current needed. It's better to run high-voltage at low current. And AC is better at changing voltage when needed, because they can work with transformers.

Yeah, sadly I couldn't find a way to read the paper beyond the abstract for free, but the doses I've seen for CBD are like ~10 to 100x what you'd generally get from smoking weed I think. Not to mention that it's usually taken orally, not smoked, but again I can't read the paper so for all I know they were massaging it into their scalps.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, you will never pass that point. A well-optimized dedicated server with 90 fast cores, 128GB ram and 4TB SSD goes for $120/mo at Hetzner. That can easily handle 1 billion non-cached monthly page views if you write decent code. More if you cache. How many sites get that much traffic? A few dozen. If you're dedicating this much effort in preparing for 1-in-a-million eventualities, you will never ship anything.
Semi-related.

Whenever I'm building something, I get really strong tunnel vision. Part of what makes me a good engineer – submerging myself extremely deep and specific context, "the zone" – seems to work against me becoming a good product person. There's always product stuff I seem to forget, or don't pay attention to, or I end up focusing on the wrong things.

After "shipping", however, the tunnel vision goes away. I can view my work with a level of clarity. Some features I built might be valuable, and some won't.

By splitting my work into build/evaluate phases, rather than continual building, I've become much better at focusing on the impact of what I'm building, and not the engineering in-and-of-itself.

I have a terrible habit of spending too much time building, and not enough time thinking/marketing/etc. This is how I try to manage that.

“Free speech” in the moral sense is exactly that people who operate civil infrastructure shouldn’t use their privilege for censorship.

So... people who believe in “free speech” as a moral value will disagree with your first paragraph — and hence, your entire post.

You assume your conclusion, so your argument fails to be persuasive.

“I disagree with what you say, but I’ll fight to the death to defend your right to say it” is a maxim of free speech — and a bold declaration of the exact opposite of your message: if we want a free society, we have a moral duty to aid the freedom of others — not suppress it.

The ostensible benefit to DC distribution in homes is to be more economical and simpler for devices that already run on DC - not to redesign ever device ever made to accept mains-voltage DC. If your iPad and your laptop and your blender still need a power brick to work, what's the point?

Using high-voltage unnecessarily to avoid using a DC converter is also not going to save money. Yeah, you can use a 300 V DC motor in a coffee grinder, but why? It's just going to cost more money to make.
This article has nothing to do with whether or not platforms ought to be able to perform content moderation.

And the problem with async in Rust is that it's really hard to prove a single owner across the await gap.

In the other languages where I used async, Javascript and C#, there is no penalty for using a variable across the async gap. The async keyword just means that something will block. (And plenty of other details, like your UI can paint itself.)

WinRAR is better as an archiving tool than 7zip. It has more features, recovery records, a much better self-extracting generator (7zip's is laughably primitive), more ways to compress files (e.g. compressing multiple folders into separate archives) and it is also much faster than 7zip when compressing. Also AFAIK it is the only that supports NTFS streams, though i'm not sure how often that is needed (but might be, e.g. for preserving the downloaded status of files).

And very annoyingly, 7zip has had for years a race condition where when you open a file inside an archive, it extracts the file in the temporary folder and then... it deletes it before the associated application manages to load it. It is hit and miss when it works - often it does, but then for some reason i haven't figured out it just deletes the file. And related to that 7zip extracts only the file you double click on, so e.g. it doesn't extract any data files an executable might need or images or subpages an HTML file may refer to.

I have both installed and in my experience WinRAR is by far the better tool when it comes to handling archives with the main exception (and the only reason i have 7zip installed) being that 7zip supports extracting from far more archive formats - including disk images (i use it all the time to extract files from VirtualBox, PCem, etc disk images and seems to support a variety of file systems too).

If you cannot censor away opinions, if suppression of ideas doesn't work then why in exactly these kinds of articles do people bemoan it as dangerous?

I may agree that most censorship is wrong but it does work. It worked for centuries to help maintain systems of inequality.

It worked for centuries to maintain familial control and enforce sexual monoculture in many countries. Information control works so well, it prevents people from even understanding themselves or what they really want in the face of ideologically imposed values.

We are steeped in a culture of Hollywood telling us what the lessons of history are about. One of the off repeated "hopeful" messages we are fed is that you can't kill an idea but my reading of history has led me to the other conclusion entirely. That controlling the conversation, its constraints and determining the status quo are profoundly powerful tools.
Eliminate? No.

Reduce to the point of practical irrelevance? Yep.

DC Kills. And quickly too. There is no 0 Volt in its strength (AC cycles from positive peak to negative peak, about 50 to 60 times a second, depending on which country you are in).

DC is dangerous. Anything above 100 Volts is risky.

Most home lighting and fans can be run with 48 Volts though. So we could have separate wiring for appliances and low voltage DC stuff.

This is written by Ken Dryden, a well-known retired goalie. Very cool. Essentially he is just arguing that because of the size of goalie pads, the most successful strategy has become cause chaos around the net and then try and push the puck in while the goalie is distracted. He’s right, I think, in that it does slow down the inherently high-speed nature of the sport.

So for shooters and coaches, that is the strategy. Rush the net with multiple offensive players, multiple defensive players will go with them, multiple arms, legs, and bodies will jostle in front of the goalie, and the remaining shooters, distant from the net, will fire away hoping to thread the needle, hoping the goalie doesn’t see the needle being threaded, because if he does, he’ll stop it. The situation for the shooter is much like that of a golfer whose ball has landed deep in the woods. He’s been told many times that a tree is more air than leaves and branches, but with several layers of trees in front of him, somehow his ball will hit a leaf or branch before it gets to the green. Somehow, the shooter’s shot will not make it to the net. So he will try again. Because what else can he do?

I played hockey for about a decade growing up, alternating between goalie and defense. One “unofficial” solution I had to this problem was to make it extremely unpleasant for other players to be around the net.

In hockey, you have a lot of leeway in terms of physicality and you can push, shove, lock the stick of your opponent, and do a number of other things that are completely penalized in basketball or soccer. The result was that opposing players became hesitant to get too close to the net, thus solving the problem somewhat.

If a player was on a breakaway, I’d also try to do stuff like this (as the goalie), which of course makes opponents stay far away from you.

https://youtu.be/W5u0khFnHUg

A possible solution could be to expand the goalie-only area around the net. That would, in theory, force opponents to focus more on shooting and not on piling around the goalie.

I’m hijacking the thread, but does anyone know if a Linux utility that replicates OS X’s ability to enter special characters with option? For instance on a QWERTY keyboard, you can type option-backtick followed by `e` and it will combine it into `è`. There are several other combinations I forget to enter other Unicode chars that don’t have a key and that feature works systemwide. It’s the one thing I miss on Linux from OS X.

2. Forgetting the goaltending rule exists in basketball.
> But while a high voltage converter might be expensive, it's far more efficient and would pay off costs over the duration of the life of a home

AC is easier to transform. Those transformers are cheap and rugged. DC is very difficult to monitor and control, especially in larger voltage and current levels.
Interesting inference, to make it we have to hypothesize that dark matter has an effect on the CMB in the first place, is that at least somewhat backed up by any observations?

Don't know where OP lives, but here in India, I lost my driver's license a long time ago and only "carry" a digital copy of it in an app called DigiLocker. Digilocker also contains registration documents of all vehicles I own, Income Tax (PAN) card, insurance policies, high school/university transcripts, etc.

My "cash" or card transactions has gone down manifold over the last couple of years. Everyone, including roadside vendors, accept mobile payments that's enabled using UPI (unified payments interface) that's tied to my bank account. There are dozens of apps and "wallets" that use it, including Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Paytm, PhonePe, etc.

My income tax records are all available online, and "filing" is a matter of importing this data using a tool that the income tax department makes available on their website, checking the pre-filled forms, and pushing the "submit" button -- signed using an Aadhaar number enabled OTP.

My reading from the outside is, the left needs to realize (I'm sure it applies to the right equally as well) that scolding people into guilt is not a viable approach to affect action or to change perceptions when you're dealing with adults.

Neither does boxing people into this, that and that category do any good. Like if all you want to do is dehumanize those guys so you can happily insult / hurt them without hurting your conscience, go ahead, that's choice.. you have different goals.. but remember that instinct that wants you to scream at this-this-this type of person is a confrontational approach that deep down falls in the pattern of, eliminating the other tribe.. if you choose to do something about it and what you do is your responsibility and problem.

I just think the solution should lie in :
1) dialog 2) laws

I think beyond those 2 lie some really wrong answers..

The result was that opposing players became hesitant to get too close to the net, thus solving the problem somewhat.

Also the goalie is given waaay more leeway. The goalie can get away with things that would definitely result in the penalty box for anyone else. I don’t know whether is is by convention, or because penalizing the goalie is such a heavy disadvantage that it isn’t done lightly.

I've learned to not question what the customer wants. If I push back and think "you probably really want solution X over the solution Y you're asking for" more often than not it turns into a big fiasco. Every issue that comes up becomes my fault for suggesting X and not going with Y. Where as if I just do Y as they asked then they associate the issues with Y and not me.

Call me skeptical but to claim 1000x improvement for circuit simulation is at least hyperbole or outright lying. I will love to be proven wrong though. This by the fact that Julia is still depending on third party numerical libraries, e.g. OpenBLAS that depends on faster numerical languages like Fortran.

If you want to see next generation circuit simulation and automation that already working check out JITX. The simulator is using their advanced LB Stanza language which similar if not better than Julia[1]. This is the same team from Berkeley that proposed CHISEL and FIRRTL.

Other promising efforts on next generation digital and analog circuit design are from MLIR by LLVM team and LLHD from ETH Zurich [2][3].
