Don't worry - we pretty much all know the folks saying SF is "crime free" are total liars OR rich as hell and living in a gated mansion.

The thing you don't realize is how nice, at a low and ongoing level, being in a low crime area is. It feels GREAT! Especially if you have a female in your family / friend group. Hey, want to meet up for ice cream at XXX? You get a ton more yeses because no one is nervous walking / biking / locking bikes etc.

Early on with my wife I made the mistake of the cheap place that was in a higher crime area - I didn't mind but it really crimped her eagerness to meet me after work somewhere etc if she was going to be walking, and coming home late and walking from BART also stressed her a bit (in fairness we got off at one of the highest crime spots in BART system). I did the don't worry about it thing for a bit, but then there were some shootings and it just wasn't worth it and she wasn't re-assured (I would show her time of day charts for crime in our neighbhoorhood so she could go when it was less risky).
And smartphones, playstations, cash (e.g. https://www.lastampa.it/cronaca/2020/05/16/news/bonus-cultur...)
They don't say that. Did you actually read what they wrote? It is very nuanced.

Their rule is that it can't be "overtly or explicitly sexually suggestive", and they acknowledge that it lies on a spectrum. They have to draw the line somewhere. To some people, for instance the Amish or fundamentalism Muslims, the line is very different from that of typical Westerners.
Problem is you don't use it, you resell it and keep the cash.

> When I first tried to pronounce “phlegm” I tried to sound every letter on it.

The G is pronounced in the derived word "phlegmatic". It can't be pronounced in "phlegm"; English phonology doesn't allow for "gm" as a sound cluster.

(Whereas in "phlegmatic", you can put a syllable break between the G and the M, so it's at least possible to produce the sounds.)
I'm well aware of details (I use it in GitHub READMEs frequently), but you still can't animate it like I described – without that, no designer is ever going to want you to actually use it. Builtin elements are worth fuck all if they don't meet your requirements!

I think that in most countries but the US, the state will stomp down on any such infringement hard; and in the US the state will use a much lighter and slower hand.

Every time I can think of that people have predicted (with hope or fear) the Information Age will bring about an erosion of state authority, the state's control of existing levers of power have trumped the mere ability to organize/communicate.
Also, the February 28th raid was the ATF, not the FBI. The FBI came in after the ATF lost that battle.

While I don't think these are aliens or represent some sort of advanced military technology based on previously-unknown principles of physics, I can't really get behind the article's "Nothing is going on here, this is just people misunderstanding how cameras work" explanation either.

There is some sort of reason that the US military has been oddly open about all this. My thought would be that it's some sort of disinformation campaign, though it's hard to tell who it's directed at and what the exact purpose would be. But if the US military was seeing stuff they can't explain and they thought it might be an adversary (or aliens, who would fall into the category of "potential adversary until proved otherwise"), the last thing they'd do is publicly admit to being bamboozled. My thoughts on what this might be are, in descending order of probability:

- An attempt to convince US adversaries that we have developed some sort of advanced capability (see the various odd patents filed by the Navy and Salvatore Pais), and that we're falsely claiming we're seeing these things as part of a disinformation campaign to draw attention away from it. "No, we definitely don't have any secret glowing, non-ballistic hypersonic drones we're going to defeat you with in the next conflict. You definitely shouldn't spend billions of dollars trying to counter something like that".

- An attempt to convince US adversaries, who have developed some sort of advanced drone which we have been able to identify and counter, that we have not in fact identified and countered it, and are completely incompetent and clueless. "Oh no, what is that terrifying and confusing thing that we keep seeing? Definitely not that new advanced Chinese drone that we stole the plans for in 2016 and can shut down remotely with the press of a button. Nope, no idea. Please don't improve it, since we clearly have no idea what it is".

- An attempt to draw attention away from actual aircraft we've developed whose capabilities are similar to (but probably more in line with established physics) the aircraft seen in the released videos. "Yeah, we're seeing those things too. No idea what they could be. Let us know if you figure anything out"

I guess there's still a possibility that it's actual aliens, and they're trickling the information out to avoid a panic, but that would be so far down the list that it's not really part of the same list anymore. But even in that situation, it would only happen after there was contact and they were reasonably sure of their motivations; if they were still unknown, then this information would be classified at the highest level, and we would probably not know about it.
The article discusses ec2 so I can tell you at least this much.

The flush FS commands will get translated into storage system commands to ensure blocks are written through to the disk. When using network-attached storage, like EBS, the minimum latency will likely be determined by the network latency(and the bulk of all the latency will likely be network) involved and sending these commands and waiting for the ack. If using WAL halves the number of times this needs to occur, you should see double the number of serial transactions per second.

1-2% slower on reads is likely as insignificant as it sounds, particularly if your write load has you interested in double the number of write qps; possibly without changing a single schema or line of code!

Edit: This is generalized information though. I would like to see some actual SQLite numbers and I disagree with the article's generalization that SQLite is best suited for applications that "Are read-heavy but not write-heavy".
>the Connection Machine has been acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, where it is currently on view as part of the exhibition Thinking Machines: Art and Design in the Computer Age, 1959–1989.

This is a nicely designed machine and and all, but man that MoMA exhibit is a disappointment. I went to MoMA on a lark while in NYC without knowing the exhibit existed. But once I got there and was in other exhibits I couldn't stop thinking about how they might find ways to bring everything beautiful about the artistry in computing to the masses that don't know how to see it. Then I walked through an odd grab bag of out of context things that've existed in the vicinity of computing and seem to be selected for aesthetics that will allow visual arts people stare at them profoundly even though they're experiencing them in a vaccum.

Then I spent the rest of my time there wondering if it and all the other exhibits were inaccessible on purpose.
> I didn't know there were so many outraged prudes on twitch. Why should twitch have a sexually suggestive content rule in the first place?

If you're asserting that thinking hot tub streams break ToS, and Twitch's selective enforcement of that ToS causes problems very frequently on their platform, makes me an "outraged prude", well I'm sorry friend. Gaslighting an entire community doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

> Nudity or sexually explicit content (which we define as pornography, sex acts, and sexual services) are not allowed on Twitch.

Is wearing a bikini, facing away from a camera and touching your toes for $5 not sexually explicit?

> I don't see what the huge issue with showing off your own sexiness is. Sheesh!

The issue is inconsistency. I think they should update the ToS to support these streamers - they're some of the biggest streamers on the platform. To suggest that those streamers are not being sexually suggestive is, again, an absolute joke. Twitch themselves made the determination that sexually suggestive content is not welcome on their platform, not me.
Yep!

And I've never sent anyone a death threat. I don't hate people for their choice in cars, or non-choice as the case may be. I enjoy interesting cars of all kinds. I'm not especially into trucks from an enthusiast perspective, though as a homeowner and RV owner I do happen to own a Ford F250. And I don't mind people that are into them. You have to be a bit of an enthusiast, IMO, to daily drive a super duty if you don't need it :). I'd own a Taco if I didn't need to tow anything, as it would be far more livable for daily use.
Last time I was looking through streams I saw a woman in a bikini in a kiddie pool riding on a giant inflatable hot dog. I think her normal stream is painting herself with body paints? It’s hard to avoid and that plus the super coarse language make it seem insane to me that people let their kids watch Twitch streams. I’m sure there’s good content somewhere but it’s just not for me, if I want that stuff I’ll just go to Pornhub. Feels more honest.
Its like pornography. You know it when you see it.

* Abortion-center bombers? Clearly terrorism.

* Oklahoma City bombing? Clearly terrorism.

* Beltway Sniper? Terrorism.

* Eco-terrorism? Such as bombing gas pipelines? Terrorism.

* Blowing up a AT&T communication hub? Not terrorism, surprisingly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nashville_bombing . Seems to be "standard" workplace grievance. (EDIT: I thought this was terrorism originally, but apparently the investigation came back and said not-terrorism)

There are some edge cases: a random shooting inside of a grocery store? Well, could be terrorism, might not be.

----------

Violent actions, even those that do not result in loss of life (ex: abortion bombers / eco-terrorists), that are designed to push an ideology is terrorism. Simple enough, right?

Sure, there are edge cases here and there. But in the vast majority of domestic terrorism cases, there's no controversy in the label.
The context here is that one of the most prolific twitch streamers recently had her advertising cut with no warning. (They still run ads on her stream, but she doesn’t get any of the proceeds, if I understand it.)

Lots of these streamers have an Onlyfans link in their Twitter bio, though, and they make it pretty obvious that you should join “to see the good stuff.” https://twitter.com/amouranth/status/1395192511958851585?s=2...

Someone put it like “she’s doing the equivalent of holding a finger in front of your face and saying ‘not touching you! Not touching you!’ for a no-touching policy.”
Because there are other places for that. Many people browse twitch at work (let’s not debate that) and don’t want to see that kind of content. Or on machines visible at home around other family members.

These women have every right to do as they please, and most likely will continue to push the boundaries of twitch’s tolerance. I suspect we will have car washing streams or sauna streams next to get around the rule.

But I don’t want to see it.
I think you really need some sources if you're going to accuse someone, otherwise you're just spouting baseless accusations (at best), which do not improve either the target or the conversation. IANAL but this looks pretty close to libel to me.

Many advertisers don’t want their ads on sites that show sexual content, even if their particular ads are not shown on the sexually suggestive section of the site. Twitch must have decided that it wasn’t worth risking those advertisers.
> There has been confusion around whether streams from hot tubs are permissible under our current policies, and we understand why our rules as written have contributed to that confusion. Under our current Nudity & Attire and Sexually Suggestive Content policies, streamers may appear in swimwear in contextually appropriate situations (at the beach, in a hot tub, for example), and we allow creative expression like body writing and body painting, provided the streamer has appropriate coverage as outlined by our attire policy. Nudity or sexually explicit content (which we define as pornography, sex acts, and sexual services) are not allowed on Twitch.

I again ask, is wearing a bikini, facing away from a camera and touching your toes for $5 not a sexual service?

There have been FPGAs in the past which used the logic blocks for routing, including the Xilinx 6200. I think that was also the case for the Atmel AT40K FPGAs, but could be remembering wrong.

In fact, our project for the previous Google shuttle was an FPGA-like device which also routes data using logic cells. Here is an introduction to the idea:

https://github.com/fiberhood/MorphleLogic/blob/main/README_M...

It worked in simulation and the chip is currently scheduled to be shipped to us on September 6. There were 2 or 3 projects that were more conventional FPGAs.

> So if some plurality of rich stakers wanted to do a hostile takeover of a network, the community could create a fork where the oligarch coins are frozen and continue from there.

What's the "community" here? What would incentivise users to consider the new fork to be the legitimate one? If rich oligarchs control the first one - how do you build trust in the new one as opposed the current one? As a fiat currency - I would assume the rich oligarchs would have a great chance of leveraging wealth into ensuring that the current coin gets marketed and hence holds trust? The USD holds its current position because the US Gov stands behind it - what would keep the oligarchs propping the current coin up as opposed to the forked coin?

I'm sorry if this sounds silly - as I'm not very into crypto.
So no changes really, except they've made it a distinct category so that people can find this content easily without leaving the site and going to something like booba.tv for discovery (nsfw I guess, it is curated links to "sexually suggestive" twitch streamers).

I lost my job when covid hit and it felt like the end of a prison sentence. I didn't know how burned out I was. I never would have quit on my own. To decompress, I started a Minecraft Youtube channel and it's been more fulfilling than anything else I've ever worked on.

Running the channel is much more work than I ever did in tech, but interacting with a community of people who enjoy watching me play a video game is more satisfying than anything I ever shipped. To be free of the useless meetings, sociopathic bosses, degrading performance review processes, stupid politics, the egos, the dbags, the kool-aid, this is my giant FU to an industry that has royally screwed our entire society and congratulates itself for doing so.

I didn't go into this thinking I would succeed and I'm a long way away from financial independence. But I finally feel like I regained ownership of my soul. My advice is to stop fucking worrying about your leetcode score, your 401k, what color Tesla you should get, and anything else that is keeping you in psychological chains. The anxiety is how they want you to feel, so you will actually feel grateful for dedicating your entire life to enriching someone else. Just jump. Don't make a plan, don't fret, don't make excuses to yourself or your family. Just jump.
Your first link is a good resource, thanks; it points out many valid issues where Firefox needs to catch up. It is definitely slanted though; for example Firefox's Rust usage is compared to Chromium talking about maybe using Rust someday and the conclusion is "so that's a wash". Also, "the parts that are memory safe do not include important attack surfaces" isn't correct; all C++ code that manages dynamic memory is attack surface.

A slightly tangential issue is that the mitigations section is not super compelling to me because I think many mitigations are low-value. Evaluation of mitigations typically does not ask the right questions: How much work is it for an attacker to bypass the mitigation, assuming they're aware of it? Can that work be packaged and reused in multiple exploits? And how many bugs become completely non-exploitable due to the mitigation?

Mick West is a commonly known "debunker". IMO he's not interested in objectively finding the truth, he wants to debunk at all cost. He has his conclusion before he starts analyzing the evidence. He's even known to edit pictures [1] so that they prove his point. He said in an interview that he's doing it in part because he was terrified of UFOs as a kid [2]. And in general, he will just ignore the evidence he can't explain, and focus on what he thinks he can explain. "Radar logs show something traveling at 50k mph, and eye witnesses claim it was Ferrari red. Since it's Ferrari red, it's obviously just a Ferrari". If you want to listen to opinions that contradict West, listen for example to Cmdr David Fravor [3], or Robert Powell [4].

He reminds me of the Condon Comittee. In "The Edge of Reality", Allen Hynek claims that in the first week of the investigations the conclusions were already being written on the boards.

There are two types of truck owners: those who do truck things and those who show off. The latter are mostly what I call 'house' truck owners, most they might do is pick up a desk or chair.

The first thing I did when moving to a rural area was to get a F-150. I plow my own driveway. I pick up dirt by the yard for lawn/garden use. Tow. Get big things. I look back now three years later and am thankful I did not waste any coin on a bed cover as I'd be very tired of putting it on and taking it off. Living nearly two miles in on a dirt road I only bother washing the truck twice a year as 'clean' is very fleeting.

The issue with this e-F150 is the low payload and tow capacity of the standard models. Think I'm rated 2350 payload and 13K tow on an out the door $44k XLT supercab.
Probably the lost ad revenue. No company wants to advertise on those streams. By breaking them out in way where advertisers could opt out of that stream category, suggestive streamers (a huge segment of traffic) would lose money for Twitch.
How do you know chip foundries aren’t being paid subscription revenue from companies like Apple already? I am pretty sure they are tied up in very large scale commitments over time. Effectively the same thing.

Qualcomm charges pretty hefty licensing fees for Apple to use its modem technology. And they scale it based on the price of the phone, not a fixed amount, just like the App Store does.

We act like there is something so wrong here but its just business. Everyone needs to take a chill pill
