> I wish the right to offend was a human right

I mean, this is effectively what free speech is. It's already a "right" at least in the US.

But offended people also have the right to blacklist (oops!) you. I think the setup is fine, but we're in an interesting place culturally where it's effectively a McCarthyesque "offense" witch-hunt. I don't really think you can regulate witch hunts.

It's more a matter of enough people saying "ok, enough" and not caving to the whims of a bunch of perpetually-offended twitter crybabies with anime avatars. Once a critical mass of people stop caving to this bullshit, it will eventually just die out, and offended people can go back to writing in their diary instead of getting people fired.

I think the tides are starting to turn here, TBH. Personally I've been more actively speaking out against cancel culture recently. And I'm a communist.
That specific point was more related to the market i'm in right now, so it's pretty much market/area depended and yes as you point out your mileage might vary as i've never taken rent into consideration for this use case.

Since being overweight and/or diabetic are strong risk factors in getting a bad case of covid, is there any estimate how much harm is caused compared to doing nothing?

What about the long term effects from this additional weight gain?
This is what I was told by the friend who drives it. He could be wrong. I didn’t research it on my own.
This makes me think videos will not be seen as a source of truth but as a source of hearsay: "this is exactly what they would say anyway, so who cares if they did"?

Following this line of thought, why not release deepfakes of yourself to provide plausible deniability for your statements? If people believe it - good! You meant to say it. If people decide it's not what you would have said, you didn't say it anyway.
It's not "doing nothing" it's "choosing to do nothing for anyone else", which is very different.
It will be fairly straightforward to decarbonize fertilizer production, using electrolyzed hydrogen rather than natural gas. As the industry matures, it's likely to be even cheaper than naturals gas derived ammonia. Here's a pilot project in Spain, for example:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-28/spain-cou...

However, misapplication of fertilizer, and the resulting destruction of aquatic ecosystems, will take other fixes, and strong penalties on farmers that do this sort of damage.
This change only trims the referrer string, it doesn't remove the origin domain info. You can still tell that "important site X linked to you and is driving Y% of your audience." You just wouldn't be able to get any more granular than that.

When you make things like survival 'privilege not a right' with no way out, you end up with societal decline in which extremist nationalist and religious groups take over the disenfranchised people through their advocacy and their charity, and you magically find yourselves in the middle of a dystopian hellhole in which people with non-compliant mindsets are persecuted. Which has happened in every single age in history when same conditions came to being, and the people who could have fixed it resorted to comfortable numbness like 'privilege not a right'.

And something being in a way for decades does not mean that it is right, it is rational and it should be kept as it is. If we did that, we wouldnt have been able to become a modern civilization.
This is indeed a major and shameful bug of GNU libc. There's no fundamental reason why NSS services cannot be statically linked. My pet conspiracy theory is that some glibc authors were anti-static linking fanatics (probably Drepper), and tried hard so that it was difficult to static link. Fortunately, we have musl libc where static linking works without trouble, and by the way produces smaller binaries.
This is has been my experience as well. When I search using very specific terms for a any topic tangentially related to something popular, all I get is the News articles.

I suspect it is because the best sources of information do not serve adds, but news, spam, and social media do.
Ah, thanks, I didn't know!

> When you hire a contractor, you pay for the work done and that's it

Generally, but I could plan to have that contractor back for each repair as long as they do a good job.

> The state has allowed NTTA to have a lifetime contract of earning tolls on the roads even past the cost of building those roads

Presumably they're responsible for maintaining the roads. We've simply decided to call them for repairs as long as they do a good job.

> The contractor does not keep sending you bills after the fees have been paid

If I defer up-front costs in trade for maintenance costs then they do. This is really handy some times.
I get where you're coming from. It's a little bit like a real world, high stakes escape room.

Come to think of it, this could be a fun online challenge. I picture a series of VM images, each of which describes the design of the system and the terrible thing that has gone wrong, and you are challenged to get it fixed and/or get the data out of it.
> Dramatically worse... if that's true, then I wonder how good they were a decade ago.

Oh, I forget some people doesn't know why Google enjoy their current position:

Back before 2007 they completely blew competition out of the water:

If something was accessible on the Internet and wasn't behind a noindex spell, Google would find it.

Compared to other search engines that both then and now work more like Google does today it was totally amazing.

Then things started to go sideways:

- first there was: did you mean <something else with similar spelling>? (this was actually user friendly)

- then there was: we didn't find many results for <search term> so we included <related but different search term>, use double quotes to search for "<search term>"

- then there was fuzzing: expnding all my search terms into the unrecognizable unless I double quoted them

- and the latest few years they have also ignored my double quotes

somewhere in between there they messed up the + operator that used to mean "make sure this term is included" as well as ~ that used to mean I wanted Google to fuzz that term.

Sometimes I can get better results by trying to think how my wife would phrase the question, i.e. instead of searching for

- <search terms including a weird mispeling from a dialog box>

I search for

- <why does my computer show search terms including a weird mispeling from a dialog box>

But other times nothing works.

From an image processing perspective I think this is just like reading a 2-d barcode like data matrix or QR or maybe reading a punchcard.

Getting to the image though is an act of physical heroism that he builds up to gradually (e.g. how can you really be so afraid of H2SO4?) to the point where he is mixing acids with bleach at which point I'm intimidated.
Is it their right to restrict info by leveraging IP law on other people? They use that IP law to grant themselves information asymmetry to gain 6% commissions whereas many countries have commissions half that. IP law is not a natural right but is instead granted by the government to try to enhance the common good. So therefore whether it is their “right” is somewhat contingent on their use of IP law actually benefitting the nation. If it’s not beneficial and is just increasing fees, then it should be curtailed.

I wonder when in-vehicle computers come in standard sizes and with standard ports. like 4x gb eth, 8x can, 3x hdmi, 2x usb something along such lines.

just like you buy another system from another vendor for your data centre, if your usual supplier happens to have production issues.

this would also simplify computer power performance updates, to dunno go from level 2 to level 3 autonomy (assuming sensors are there already).

the vehicle part of the vehicle easily lasts 10-15 years. such standardized vehicle computer infrastructure would not only make automotive vendors more independent from board and soc fluctuations, it would keep the car fresh for a longer period of time, and allow for performance software after-market sales.

why not? what am I missing?
Simple vs Easy rears its ugly head again.
> (Some may disagree. For instance, the Google C++ style guide [1] specifically says not to "use unsigned types to say a number will never be negative", because they want the undefined overflow behavior of signed types, in order to allow the compiler to diagnose bugs and to avoid "imped[ing] optimization". I think this is mostly nonsense; the drawbacks far outweigh the benefits, and tools for detecting overflow like UBSan can be told to check unsigned overflow as well.)

Yes, I really disagree. unsigned integers mean one thing, which is "modular arithmetic". Unless you are in the very uncommon case of actually needing modular arithmetic, for instance, when implementing a crypto or hash algorithm, you want normal integers. As soon as you have anything that may have any chance of introducing a substraction somewhere, unsigned will cause bugs.

I don't know how many times I had to debug broken code such as

for(int i = 0; i < some_size - 1; i++) { ... }

because some_size was unsigned.

If you really want a "number that cannot be negative", you don't wan't some_size - 1 to silently give you UINT_MAX, you want a type that will give you a compile-time or at worst run-time error.
Interesting background history, do you have some pointers to read more about such stuff regarding Inferno?
Both things can be true. I both enjoy the moments when I can be selfish and live for my enjoyment, and the moments when I focus my life and goals bringing joy to my child and family.

I also joke about wanting to do nothing for a year. About 2-3 weeks in I'm ready to take on a full workload again. I once was unemployed for 2 months, I thought it'd be a vacation. I hated it after the first month.

Donald Trump plans to launch a social network in 'two to three months'
Starship is significantly scaled down from their original plans. Despite being enormous, it's actually about the minimum viable size. Assuming there is the traffic to support one of course, there are actually a number of scaling advantages to greater size when using stainless steel as the construction material. So while it'd take a long while, SpaceX may well ultimately find it advantageous to do a larger Starship 2.

Another area that humanity hasn't even gotten to the stage of considering yet would be dedicated interplanetary space transport craft. For now SpaceX is planning to just use Starships for getting out of gravity wells and getting between them. But the kind of cadence, $/kg, and sheer capacity Starship will enable also opens up the real option of permanent orbital assembly and maintenance facilities, and in turn the construction of spacecraft optimized purely for use outside of gravity wells (so much more emphasis on ISP vs thrust, no need to worry about aerodynamics, far less restriction on size, optimization for long time travel like potential synthetic gravity via spin, more radiation shielding, etc). No reason SpaceX couldn't lead the charge on that too in principle, though certain attractive forms of propulsion like anything using nuclear would probably necessitate more government involvement until/unless SpaceX can form their own mature government far down the road.

Anyway, $100-200/kg (or less!) and huge volume/high cadence is so radically disruptive that it's kind of hard to predict how space will look a few decades down the line. It's going to be a wild thing to watch, with lots of opportunity.
It’s all a matter of opinion but I actually find Rust a wonderful language to write in, given the right circumstances. Which usually means “without having to deal with lifetimes”.

I tried Go, I wanted generics and errors. I like C#, but not the ecosystem that comes along with it. And so on. So for me personally, Rust is a a valid choice even when performance isn’t a first concern.
Yeah, it's like Biden winning made people completely forget that Trump was there until little over two months ago and the circumstances that put him there aren't materially changed...

> They didn't invent flatpak for the sake of security.

> Flatpak is fundamentally a distro-agnostic packaging mechanism.

> [Security] wasn't ever billed as the main idea.

and we keep digging up old posts from the flatpak folks that say their main focus isn't security, and that security isn't ready, and that the primary usage is as an environment for desktop apps to be built, packaged, and distributed.

Are they not allowed to think about security and sandboxing without making it their primary focus on day one?
> 2/3rds of Google Searches Now End Without a Click

Isn't that the whole point of Google providing it's own interpretation (sometimes several of them) of an answer to the search query ahead of the classic search results: give users what they are likely to be looking for without requiring another click?

> zero-click search problem

As a user, I see zero-click searches as a benefit, not a problem. It's a problem for people trying to use Google as a “clickstream” to waste my time and try to get a crack at my money, but then, that's exactly why it is a benefit to me.
Sure, if you can buy a ticket, you can imagine what you'd do if you win. But couldn't you just instead imagine if you had bought a ticket and that ticket won?

Possibly. I guess it all depends on an individual's ability to disconnect their chosen brief moments of fantasy from reality. To me, if I've actually spent the dollar (which I only do once or twice a year), it provides more enjoyment. Perhaps because the chances are no longer zero.

Still, $2/year is a far better entertainment value to me than what most people spend to watch the latest comic book movie.
Sure. Email is in the profile.
As an engineer, I see high capital gain from my labor by joining "blow-out" startups, as described by some article written by Wealthfront. Working for a blowing-out startup so far is the best choice for an engineer like me, who is not good at navigating dynamics of a large company nor good at investing nor interested in real estate as many fellow engineers are in Silicon Valley. I personally enjoy the following perks besides decent cash payment:

- Problems come to me instead of me fighting with other teams for fun projects.

- Abundant opportunities for career growth, be it tech leadership or managerial hierarchies.

- Surprisingly high cumulated chance of getting meaningful equity, as long as you switch company quickly when you no longer enjoy your work.

What do I have to do to get into such startups? Well, getting good at leetcode in the early years, and working hard to get a reputation so I don't have to do hard leetcode problems nowadays. I enjoy working on CS fundamentals and applying them, so working on leetcode is never an issue, and working hard is what engineers enjoy anyway.

He barely kept up with historical inflation rates (3%/year). Given the free availability of money in the last 2-3 years, it's hard to say a 20% appreciation on his capital is a success. In terms of real dollar value, he likely is losing year-over-year.

I chose NFS specifically for their free speech policies many, many years ago and they have continually impressed me not just with the fact that my websites aren't booted (not that they are even that offensive) but also their incredible uptime and ongoing service.

I reach for them for anything that could possibly be controversial specifically because I know they won't be the weak link in the chain, but they are also just great as a shared host in general. The pricing is good too.

I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're saying anything that might ruffle some feathers.

Could someone here shed some light on the possible copyright implications of how Google now rips excerpts from web pages and displays them directly on the search results page? A cursory search shows that there have been a few lawsuits in the past[1][2] but they seem mostly related to the act of indexing/caching web pages and the display of thumbnails.

However, Google's new method of extracting and displaying possible answers to queries from external sources instead of simply linking to those sources feels like it falls outside of the bounds of fair use.

If you can afford 12 months of backups then you can almost certainly afford >=12 years of yearly backups by buying a new set of monthly tapes once a year and taking a set out of rotation and into archive.
