To be fair, interest around ISAs has never been so high. Now RISC-V workshops ("build your own core") are kind of everywhere, from Udemy to most universities, some of which are even targeted at teenagers.

The resulting RISC-V cores are mostly emulated, but are expanding knowledge of FPGAs immensely as a side effect.
Are you trying to claim that westerners importing millions of slaves from Africa didn’t result in millions of Africans being enslaved? Do you think the slave market doesn’t respond to market forces?

Buying a slave is morally equivalent to enslaving someone in the same way that hiring a hitman is morally equivalent to murdering someone.

I agree to an extent, but here's the article:

>Mr Pendley attended the Capitol Riots of 6 January, investigators found, having driven from Texas to Washington DC. Investigators said he told friends he had brought an assault rifle with him, but left it in his car...

>The posts from "Dionysus" that sparked concern spoke of his desire to "conduct a little experiment," which he said would be dangerous and "draw a lot of heat" and could be "dangerous". Asked by another user what the result would be, he responded, "death", according to the court documents.

>The FBI managed to uncover Dionysus's email address, and link that to his Facebook account and real-world identity.

>In late January, Mr Pendley began using the encrypted messaging app Signal to detail his plans to bomb an AWS facility - but the recipient of those messages was a confidential FBI informant, investigators said.

>Over the course of February, Mr Pendley shared his plans, including the type of explosive he sought, potential targets, and maps.

Of course we are getting this report from the FBI files, but it doesn't really sound like this particular person was being drawn into a web, or that they could reasonably just ignore him as a crank. Bombings like these do get carried out after all, in Nashville for instance.
So that has got a name? I always instinctively wrote code like that, because it's much more easier to understand.

At this point, I don't even care about Bitcoin anymore. It serves no purpose. I don't even care about cryptocurrencies as such.

But the ideas popping out from these fields are just so darn exciting. DeFi makes all these complex financial instruments that were previously the sole purview of big banks accessible to anyone.

And we're barely scratching the surface with NFTs and DAOs.

That was the question RMS asked, but it is oblivious of a way more relevant point: the girl was a victim of human trafficking. Regardless of age a sex slave cannot consent.

The value in the market is the subject of the parent thread. Anyways, like I said, Elastic could've made money with a proprietary product but they chose OSS instead (and used Apache Lucene to build on).

AWS is just offering customers what they want and there are many other companies doing the same thing (IBM's Compose, Aiven, Instaclustr, etc). How is this against OSS? This is the OSS industry operating as intended.

I think the fight was mostly between people who wanted the Perl 6 project dropped, and the ones working on the Perl 6 project.

In any case, since the rename to Raku, we have seen some disagreements in the community, but these have been solved (although in one case banning from the core has been necessary, unfortunately).

I read the article, you're adding in a lot of details to make the suspect seem like he was duped. We don't know if he tried to back out or if they coaxed him.

Idk if this guy is mentally ill or not, but he met up with someone who claimed to be selling c4, learned how to detonate and gave him money for them. Idk how much it cost, but I don't know why he would buy them if he wasn't expecting to use them.

Because ONE dimension is far too simplistic to have net utility instead of net harm. Instead of simplifying in ways that just help us understand, it creates false dichotomies and binary / dualistic thinking. It is self-fulfilling in harmful ways.

Simplify to at least two dimensions and it can be a useful discussion.

There are people across the "left" and "right" dimension who agree on the issues of top-down vs bottom-up forms of power structures. That's probably the most practical second dimension.

> And yes, the 50-year-old gets "free" healthcare. Which I contribute to, from my hard work. And I think this system among the best on the planet.

I wish more people had that attitude.

Instead, in the US, we have people actively making their own lives worse because they don't want to give others things they don't believe they "deserve".

If taking more out of my paycheck would get all the homeless people off the streets, I would happily do that. I personally believe that everyone has a right to housing, but even if I didn't care about people, I'd be ok with it because getting homeless people off the streets makes my life better too.

Ensuring that people aren't insecure about housing and food translates to lower crime rates and safer neighborhoods.

It makes me genuinely angry that anti-welfare people don't get this, and actively lobby against their own interest. I'm sure there are some people who just believe that welfare programs don't work, and are against them on those grounds, but most of the rhetoric I hear seems to be around not giving people things they haven't worked for and don't deserve.

What an awful article.

I could post case studies and research, but I don't have time to look so trust me please.

In healthy people meaning people who are feeling like they are firing on all cylinders, supplements may be useless. However, as we grow older, take medication and get certain health condition supplements can be extremely beneficial.

There are supplement stacks for people who have mitochondrial dysfunction. I can't recall the exact number but it is few essential nutrients.

I have read case studies of individuals having neurological symptoms and pain going into complete remission after 6 months of using supplements. In one case, stopping the supplements resulted in symptoms reemerging.

One should avoid 'bro' science and try to find actual case studies or medical research but supplements do help with many different health problems.
To be realistic and fair I don't believe part of Amazon that is doing fork of Elasticsearch is $2T, they have other stuff to do.

Just like the guy that is $1M worth is not going to blow all of his money just to squash some guy. He probably has more powerful friends and maybe some connections but I don't see dumping $0.5m on lawyers just because he can take piece of cake from the other guy that will make him $10k a year.

Imagine head of the department storming into Jeff Bezos office telling that he needs 20% of all Amazon worth to squash Elastic, that would be funny. Quick calc with 20% I assume would be $20B which would be only x2 of Elastic, so I don't see something like that happening.
That's a good one, as it illustrates that users are the product.
Oh, it's possible. You hack into, what? One? A couple? But it does not scale up like that. Do you really honestly think you can reach 51% like that? Besides, yes, you can just patch the vulnerabilities. Contrary to popular belief, vulns are not plentiful and are not cheap. Using one kind of burns it. So it would be a _very_ stupid usage of vulns.

Precisely the decentralized nature of BTC makes it impossible to shut it down exactly the same way you shut down a nuclear power plant.

And ok, you 51% the network. Then what? You can't create BTC's or change the rules of the game dramatically, without a fork. so the people on the original network are kind of... meh, at your attack. You could double spend but you need to own the coins you spend, so you shaft a couple of people. What then? I do not think that would kill it, there are cryptos that were 51%'ed (looking at ETH classic) and are still alive and chugging along.
It's only a problem if citizens are somehow influenced by the # of Facebook likes a politician gets.

Taylor Swift will have her music reviewed and cultural impact discussed on NYTimes, LA Times, and numerous major publications that do not ordinarily review music.

Increased supply of music via Bandcamp/Spotify/Soundcloud has almost no impact on artists that already dominate the charts. They can simply pay Spotify to blanket their app with ads for their new music. Spotify took some flack for their OTT promotion of Drake's 2018 album [0], but long term, Drake and the other 'market leaders' came out on top.

Some small band hit languishing in the middle of a 100-song playlist is never going to be able to win against that.

It may be more about establishing this kind of regulation as the norm so it can be strengthened later. That way changes are merely incremental and to an existing system. It may be more politically viable to go that route and tie each increase to some concrete climate goal.

I heard a story about Gagarin, but I cannot find any sources to confirm it now. One day he was driving home tired and caused a car accident. When the police arrived at the scene and saw him, they said he is free to go and that they will deal with the guilty party, some poor old man. Shortly Gagarin turned back and admitted the guilt, he couldn't have it on his conscience. He was a man of integrity.

Rumors surrounding his mysterious death were that the government thought the heroes should die young, before they become irrelevant or screw up and damage their image. The hero cult was very strong in Soviet Union.

You're assuming you would give away your Facebook replacement for free, and not make any money from it up to millions of users.

Just because Facebook began that way doesn't mean its replacement must.

Google Docs was free when Word was downloaded and paid for.

Whatsapp was paid for when other chat was free or included in your contract.

There are many business models and ways to grow. It's hard, but I think you could bootstrap a Facebook replacement... over a very long time!

Not even just luck, there are biases in who gets funding in the first place. PG himself says he's biased toward founders that remind him of Zuckerberg and other past founders. That group is very predominantly white and affluent with a small cut of Asian-american and affluent and a small cut of other.

It helps a lot to have an affluent background when you start a tech company because, like a lot of other risky endeavors, even though the potential rewards are enormous it's a lot less initial earnings than just joining a company as an employee. And you worry whether if your company doesn't take off and get its next round of funding in a few months if it'll be harder to get that first job. And you may be poorer than you were pre-startup.

Not to mention that poorer kids might not ever see starting a tech startup as an option. Both because of the biases in which founders get funding and because they may culturally never have the option floated to them.

kakoune integrates multiple cursors as a first class concept, rather than bolting it on. So editing commands that work on "the current selection" transparently work for multiple selections as well. You can see the changes live, which is nice.

Correct. It's an address. I don't think anyone was expecting an apology, they were demanding a complete resignation of the entire board of the FSF.

People were not wanting an apology to forgive someone afterwards. They were demanding total capitulation. Peace was not on the table.

It's a pity that the web is slowly being taken over by Google AMP pages, Cloudflare pages and Captchas ... especially when they "punish" you for using some anti-browser-fingerprinting methods to protect your privacy.

Spotify pays a lot more than radio plays, and radio plays reach a lot more people. From this POV, artists aren't that hard done by.

Spotify plays a lot less per play, on average, than most albums sold. From this POV, artists are pretty hard done by.

If you're a fan, buy the album (i.e. pay even for the music you don't like as much). If you only listen to the music ambiently, stream and don't feel too guilty about it.

> randomly penalizing music enjoyers with ruinous fines and lawsuits

That's a weird spelling of "people who want to listen to music -without- paying for it". Napster started a conversation about IP and copyright, but I for one am glad it is dead.

DCMA is monumentally stupid in its -implementation-, but the idea is not a bad one. There need to be protections for people who make a living by creating music, art, etc. Yes, that means repercussions for people who reproduce digital content and redistribute it without a license. I think that we can all agree that how these things are currently enforced via the DCMA is rather bad, though.

What I'm saying is, we need to pay people for their work. This includes artists making music that you want "to enjoy". In 2021 there isn't really an excuse, with spotify/apple music/etc existing for streaming, and things like bandcamp for outright buying cds/lps, and discogs for the secondary/used market.
