I’m not sure how they aren’t violating 230 when they clearly have gotten into the news/editorial business.

When a counterpoint to an argument is deemed “offensive,” then they’ve gone too far.

They have taken over the public square and sent out the Mutawa to enforce their idea of truth and virtue while hiding behind 230.

Violent content, threatening content, sure, moderate it. But factually inaccurate content? Or content that expresses an opinion that isn’t violent or threatening? That’s going too far. They even censor academic papers if those papers don’t conform to whatever they deem as true.

Honestly, mostly I was just so fed up with my bed at the time I actually started sleeping on the floor with a duvet for padding. I chose that one because it would arrive the quickest at the time.

I got the idea from travelling, in Japan and staying with a friend in Thailand who just had this rubber/latex pad on the floor. Slept really well so I decided to give it a try at home.

It is not so much about English and Americans, but about learning a first language as a child versus learning a second language later in life. Learning a second language usually involves learning the grammar, and explicitly learning the rules that native speakers "just know".

I think it is quite plausible that, for any language, speakers that learned it as a second language will know the grammar and grammatical terms better than most native speakers (particularly monoglot ones).

Since you provided many examples, I will also give a few:

An astounding number of people overcorrect to "It was a present for my wife and I" or so, having trouble with the few remnants of cases (nominative, accusative, genitive) English still has. Similarly, many native speaker seem incapable to identify the much maligned "passive voice". Or, ask a native speaker under what circumstances you'd use the past perfect continuous.
Changing the border wouldn't change senate seats. Oregon would still get 2 senators, and Idaho will still have 2 just like all other states. A new 51st state isn't being created. Representatives would change a bit though since they are population based.
Fillial responsibility laws exist in about half of the US. I believe only some types of debts can be passed on (like nursing home costs), but it varies by state.
I wonder if you could make a torque amplifier[0] with the transistors? A torque amplifier is a mechanical device which takes in a shaft rotation and power outputting the same rotation angle except with higher torque.

This was an important component in mechanical computers to amplify outputs disc integrators which outputted shaft rotations at low torque.

It might be a fun device to make because you could use this to make part of a steampunk exoskeleton where the user can turn a small arm to move a much large arm. Because torque is amplified it will be easier to move the heavier arm.

Modern policing attracts exactly these sorts of individuals, which is why the current incarnation of the police should be abolished and a new system created from scratch. The combination of their attitudes and their immunity from all consequences necessarily leads to minor abuses like the parent comment describes and major abuses like the extrajudicial murder of innocent citizens.

It varies a lot. I spent some growing up years in Southern Oregon and there definitely was a strong evangelical, anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion etc. contingent in the town where I was. Lots of Birchers & KKK types as well. This was in the 70s and while the whole QAnon thing now is epistemlogically shocking, it seems like we had a lot of similar kinds of conspiracies running rampant in small southern Oregon towns back then as well.

My dad was a science teacher so we felt pretty much like an island of progressivism in a sea of very right wing folk. More than once I recall him shaking his head and muttering something like "These people are nuts!" after an exchange with a local that went off the rails into conspiracy land.
Yes.

A number in base $n$ is just $a*n^2+b*n^1+c$.

Because $n mod n-1 = 1$, you can replace every $n$ with $1$.

So $a*n^2+b*n^1+c mod n-1$ becomes $a+b+c mod n-1$
So scroll down.
I think this might be a question of scale since, for me at least, 10k would be an excessively fancy vacation - about three times as costly as a wedding - and when did preschool get so expensive!

I suspect that for the average person it's probably reasonable to include a wedding and tuition in the 10k list - maybe a hobby, though you'd only hit 10k for a transaction if you're buying serious power tools or working on a car/reno on your own.

From Canada at least an all-inclusive nine day stay in Cancun will currently run you under 3k CAD - I know there are resorts that can break the 1k/day threshold but that's a lot of money to put out for a vacation. And, honestly, if you're spending that much you're likely not going to make the purchase in a single transaction or else you're very much not what I'd consider an average person.
That doesn't really help with the compiler optimization aspect : A typical use of the range information would be to unroll the loop - in which case there's no addition to trap on anymore.
That's completely irrelevant because you're not supposed to stash it in a mattress you're supposed either spend it on basic needs or to invest it.

If you started with $10K in 1970, sure, the value is reduced by a factor of 7. Intentionally to incentivize investment.

If you started with $10K in 1970 and put it into the S&P 500, you'd have a 4162/83.15= 51X return, adjusted for inflation is still a 7X return. Notionally $510,000 - excluding dividends/re-investment thereof.

If you started with $10K in 1970 and put it into an average home in the US you'd have $70K today, adjusted for inflation. (Average $/sqft on an inflation adjusted basis in the US is the same now as it was in 1973 [1] - you'd have way, way, way more if you'd bought property in a major metro - I'm just being conservative).

You save value not money. The idea you should save money is a severe misunderstanding of basic economics.

It's really not that hard: don't save money, save value. Your narrative is as harmful as it is straight-up wrong.

I am positively agog. This is amazing.

I would suggest to pgboswell that it may be interesting to reach out to a few local professors who teach introductory circuits at some nearby universit(y/ies) and do an in-person demo of the components. You may find you have a significant educational market you could tap into. I could well believe there's a lot of people who just never quite make it over the abstraction gap to understand circuits who would be able to follow them if they could physically interact with a mechanical circuit running at human orders of magnitude.

But cannot this charge be levied upon all tools and utilities? If you do not have the permission to bring your own tools it stands to reason that you will have to use the tools already in place, be that curl or some other random assortment of literally anything else. I don't much see the moral basis behind showing up at the construction yard and then lamenting over your lack of choice simply because your employer only brought makita brand tools.

Telsa announced support for buying cars with Bitcoin in March and revoked support in May. In Jan-Feb, they bought ~50,000BTC for 1.5BUSD, and likely sold it all before the May announcement for nearly 100% profit.

Was even one vehicle was paid for in BTC in the 60 day period where this was supposedly possible?

"Pump and dump" comes to mind.

> Chia plotting is extremely I/O intensive and destroys most SSDs in under a few weeks

Woah, really?
I got to the 3rd set of tweets, and none of them were offensive in any way. It was obvious for 2 of the 3 which I was supposed to think was offensive (due to their support for specific political views WRT Israel / Hamas) and my guess was correct, but in neither case was there any actual offensive language.

No 'bad words', no slurs, no death threats/saber rattling, nothing. Just reasonably written 'I agree with the X point of view'.

Really really bad look on Twitter's part here...

Edit - to be clear, in both cases the non-offensive tweet said essentially the same thing with the same language, but took the opposing political view.

Since I just now learned about that link, I haven't read the book to know, but I have always been interested in finding out if the ability to create smaller and smaller machines is possible by having an outer machine which manufactures an inner, smaller, copy of itself, apply the process of induction, define the termination criteria, ..., profit!

Or, maybe I'm thinking about the problem all wrong -- it's not the actual construction machinery that's the problem, it's providing the input materials to each step (gears, levers, fasteners, wiring(?), etc)

There's a Factorio-clone hiding in this problem ...
> I'm a native English speaker. I don't find the article offensive, and I appreciate it pointing out how I can be a more effective communicator.

If you want people to communicate more effectively, then you state how to communicate more effectively. It is best to avoid criticism since the recipient is liable to take it poorly. Trying to be provocative will only result in the intent of the message being ignored.
>A huge number of kids in India learn English as their first and only language

"The 2011 Census showed English is the primary language—mother tongue—of 256,000 people, the second language of 83 million people, and the third language of another 46 million people, making it the second-most widely spoken language after Hindi"

https://www.livemint.com/news/india/in-india-who-speaks-in-e...

256K is not a huge amount. Even if that's up to 1.256 million in the last 10 years, that's nothing compared to the size of India.

>It already sounds perfectly natural to everyone here

It doesn't to anyone outside of the subcontinent. This could also possibly be explained by the complete lack of English language Indian media outside of India, in the US particularly. We get UK, Canadian, and sometimes even Australian and NZ programming in the US. Why no Indian?

>Wrong. India is not homogeneous like that. In Bangalore, an Indian walking into a shoe shop on Brigade Road will get addressed by the shopkeeper in English. Or an Indian visiting a pub in Koramangala, also gets addressed by the waiter in English.

I'm well aware. However, when a bunch of Kannada speakers are hanging out at a cafe, would they be speaking English? Of course not. English is a lingua franca, not the preferred option if there's a shared mother tongue.

Personally, I would hire a lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction and specialty. Laws are complicated, and collections and court cases are very expensive if you happen to be wrong. The lawyer can help you reduce the amount if you happen to be responsible for part of it. The "magic words" will have much more power if they come from an practicing attorney.
I've seen tweets that are nothing but innocuous gifs get marked as offensive. Several examples in there are people responding to k-pop Tweets with identical statements (e.g. "I like so and so the best") and one will be marked offensive and the other won't. Sometimes almost identical tweets by the same person are considered offensive or not.

However sophisticated Twitter's algorithm is, and whatever data and behavior it takes into account, my contention is that it isn't very good and produces poor results. If people can't tell the difference between offensive and inoffensive tweets any better than chance - then what is Twitter really doing?
Scientific American is becoming the new version of Bob Guccione's Omni magazine:

On that first example, "prepone" might not officially be a word, yet, but I encourage them to keep at it. Its construction follows the same structure as its intended antonym, even back to the etymology of "postpone". Unlike some of my English teachers in elementary school, the lexicographers at Oxford are not a bunch of solely prescriptivist assholes. Get the word into common enough usage that there are multiple sources for the editors of the OED to cite, and you just might get "prepone" added to the next edition. The story about an argument with Tolkien over the correct spelling of the plural of "dwarf" notwithstanding, I think included-in-the-Oxford is a standard few can argue with for an English word being officially real.
I was unaware that Twitter attempted to identify “offensive” tweets - however I am not even remotely surprised that the system doesn’t work well.

Seems like a perfect example of a Sisyphean task, if for no other reason than the adaptable nature of taking offense.
I moved away from a 2015 MBP and built a dual-boot Ryzentosh mini-ITX desktop machine last year. One of my favorite set of purchases to date, and one of my most used purchases for work (and gaming). It was my first PC build, so it was a fun learning experience.

I also bought an Elbit WP PVS-14 for my 30th birthday, and that'll go down as one of my favorite single purchases.

> You’re comparing SF, a major city, to Lafayette, a suburb. That is objectively a ridiculous comparison. You will see similar disparities in most comparisons of that nature.

Why? OP's numbers are per capita.

My family and I moved from SF to Lafayette precisely for these reasons: we were subject to assaults and intimidation from strangers in the street in SF (police refused to follow up), our car and garage were broken into once a year on average (police did not report back for any of the 7 police reports we filed), the total losses exceeded $5000. Others have it worse; our doctor had her house burned down by a mentally ill arsonist.

In addition, we were not looking forward to raising our kids in the SF public school system and we don't have enough money to pay for private school, so we moved out. In Lafayette, I can let my kids walk to school without worrying about them getting mugged. (By the way, aside from the neighborhood, you may experience public safety very differently depending on your height, weight, sex, and race. The stats won't tell you any of that, nor the amount of under-reporting going on due to the loss of public trust in the police/DA to do their job.)

We know many other families who followed similar trajectories.

I'm kind of more intersted in why you know this. There's lots of weird esoteric stuff that I know that I need as part of my job, but what are you doing that requires you to know this that isn't "copy paste this number into a python notebook"?

Oh and if you are copy pasting into notebook, then x %7 == 0 probably is a reasonable substitute...
What do you mean by "these UB optimizations"? C is a low-level language; it's basically impossible for a compiler to reason about the code unless it makes certain assumptions.
It needs to assume the code is not self-modifying to do pretty much any code-generation more intelligent than a macro assembler. It needs to assume the code isn't messing with the stack frames/return addresses in order to inline functions. It needs to assume the code isn't using an out-of-bounds pointer to access a neighboring local variable, so that it can move local variables into registers.
"gcc -O0" is a good approximation for the performance you get if the compiler isn't allowed to optimize based on UB.

Yes, that means C without optimizing without UB is slower than Java. Optimizations need some form of reasoning about what's happening. For Java it's optimizing based on guarantees provided by the language (there's no raw pointers that could mess with the things listed above). But C doesn't provide any hard guarantees, so instead it needs to blindly assume that the code will behave sanely.

Also note that for many of the more manageable sources of UB, most compilers provide a choice (-fwrapv, -fno-strict-aliasing, ...). Yet few projects use these options, even when they use other gcc/clang-specific features. Doesn't that indicate that C programmers indeed want to sacrifice safety for optimizations?

Yes, presumably as a measure to make it harder to scale the plotting process (to make it more "fair"), it apparently does a ton of reads and writes across the whole region being plotted, so it will quickly exhaust the total number of write cycles available on the drive. A cheaper drive will be effectively destroyed (high quality drives can survive more write cycles, so they're comparatively okay.) I would have assumed it just linearly computed the whole plot to be farmed, but presumably that would make it vulnerable to some sort of attack where you create a "winning" plot on demand.

You could theoretically plot on a RAMdisk to avoid this problem, but the necessary amount of RAM would be incredibly expensive, so it's unlikely that many people will do it.

It's possible for you to be in violation of GDPR without "thinking of user data as something for you to harvest, mine, resell and profit from".

If it's "killing a few companies" and "a startup doesn't end up seeing the light" then "GDPR is doing what I'd like it to do."

That's a pretty shitty opinion to hold.

What did those companies and startups do wrong? I'm as tired of stupid startups as the next person, but I won't cheer for their failure unless they actually do something wrong.
For those playing along at home, regulator "drinks" always seem to convert to 0.25-0.75 actual drinks a normal person might call "one drink". I'm not sure why they do that, unless it's to confuse people on purpose so they drink more.
