are able? not surprising. that they do, is nice though. twitter got rid of their no-js site, so it's not a given, even for huge websites. amazon does stand out in that their main site still gracefully degrades well, not some alternate version that's stowed away somewhere.

I am grateful for the gmail html version though. ever since they redesigned gmail I've been using that, since it still has the old interface. and it does have optional javascript based enhancements here and there, as you say (e.g. suggesting people from your contacts when typing in a recipient)
Why do you keep your own tax deductions? Do you think people only kept their stimulus check if they were hard-up for cash?

The tax system isn't about paying what you feel you should owe. The government bailed out an entire industry and tried to pay out (somewhat) evenly over it. Why should some of the companies be obligated to forgo that cash just because they handled the pandemic better than their competitors?
It's an interesting question. In most shell, it is possible to "source" a given file, which basically is a form of file inclusion. How should the script location feature behave in that situation? Should it report the sourced file location, or the sourcing one?

In the later case, does it mean that it is not possible to write reusable code based on that feature? In the former case, what should be done when sourcing is done recursively? Can this be used to defeat file location, for instance, by generating a script in /tmp and sourcing another file from it?

2.5 hours to an airport to fly direct or 1 hour to a flight with a connection + layover is pretty terrible if you fly regularly. If you live in the major metro area you can usually find somewhere to live close to the airport.
Comparing racism vintages is depressing as fuck, but I'll give it a go. I'm black too - I'll take casual racism over whatever the US has going on, which appears to be casual racism and a mix of disregard of, and generalized fear of black people (black men to be specific). One is a threat to my well-being, the other is threat to well-being as well as life and limb. I've never felt uneasy or witnessed people crossing the street to avoid me while cycling through well-to-do neighbourhoods in Amsterdam.

I'll take the Gollywog and Schwartz Pete over anxiety-inducing traffic stops any day.

A container _is_ an ordinary process.

(we just discussed another article by the same author a few days ago on slimmer containers)

"The container process is isolated (namespaces) from the rest of the system and restricted from both the resource consumption (cgroups) and security (capabilities, AppArmor, Seccomp) standpoints. But in the end, this is still a regular process, same as any other process on the host system."

> Everyone cheers it now but they don’t seem to realize this will happen to them in the future once the other side controls these tools.

Somehow on Facebook or Twitter, censoring another user is always spun as 'an accident' or 'a mistake in the algorithm' or even simply 'an error'. Usually the political left cheer on how cancelling someone everywhere works, thinking that it would never happen to them will later find out that these companies will soon won't be on their side, or any side.

Because they are always on the side of profit.

The chickens on the left are cheering on the wolves eating the other chickens who disagreed with them.
Destruction of the “greatest set of government buildings in the world”
I don't think the legal cause of death is particularly relevant here. When suicide is the route there are usually numerous factors and personal mental stability is always going to be one of the big factors. In the past decade we've just started to see more comprehensive laws roll out to address suicide driven by bullying, but it's always going to be a grey zone.

That all said - it seems pretty clear that the guilt and fear from legal threats were an extremely strong motivation for suicide. Whether anyone suffers legal consequences for it - it was wrong.
No. I stopped watching movies, series and videos.

Data can still be anonymized and dangerous. In extreme cases de-anonymization is available and for all the rest it still results in the targeted individual being exposed to manipulations and attempts at influence. And the amount of influence that advertisers wield absolutely needs to be curbed to an absolute minimum or, even better, non existence. People need to be making decisions on their own rational self-interest and not emotional overtures amplified by an intimate understanding of someone's fears and sensitivities.

Facebook says Donald Trump to remain banned for two years, effective from Jan. 7
I've always thought Logo syntax was not just easy but outright elegant. There could be a parallel universe where it continued to evolve into the de-facto-standard-scripting-language role Python has now.
Great, reinstate it just in time for Trump to attack the 2024 elections.

It's good to know that trying to destroy American democracy is a 2 year ban on Facebook. Hate to see what would get you 3 years.
This is where I’m really annoyed by vendors pricing models. An example would be cpu/core based licensing meaning that you need to lump systems on the same vm, even if architecturally it would make more sense to split them.

Then we have something like Kafka per topic pricing as a proxy for per use pricing which is even more annoying because now we get all kinds of shenanigans to reuse topics to avoid paying for having thousands of them and generated on the fly.
>In years past it made sense to force customers to walk through the entire store to do some annoying task. These days? I pay more, sometimes a lot, to not have to enter a store, or speak to underpaid and overworked staff there.

A lot of walmarts now actually have this automated pickup machine [1]. It's honestly kinda cool. The grocery pickup they'll bring out to your car for free too, unfortunately sometimes I've had to wait 10 minutes though, so it's not as breezy as I'd prefer.

Nope. He's not getting reinstated in August, just like the results weren't overturned in January, and just like he wasn't inaugurated in March. Things may get bloody (I hope no bloodier than January 6, at worst, but we'll see.) But even if they get bloody, no, he's not getting reinstated in August. If anything happens, it will be Harris who becomes president.

There's no "left" or "right" in EULA enforcement, just objectionable content and non-objectionable content. If you don't agree with their rulings, then you shouldn't sign up for an account. Twitter and Facebook are not platforms to run a Government from, and they've repeatedly made that perfectly clear. Your discourse is liable to be removed at any time, because it's not your bar. They can kick you out at any time, because you're there on the graces of the collective establishment. Dystopian? Maybe, but that's what happens when a libertarian platform invites capitalism to run wild.
“I wouldn’t” is taken within the context as if I was a nation governing people in the current global environment. It’s a hypothetical because I’m not a nation state. Would I actually if I was? Who knows? I put it there to basically say I can see why all this has happened the way it has. I thought all of this context was obvious.

And what you say I said about Trump is not at all what I said. You say I literally said something that I literally did not. My point is that he created a certain environment, a highly politicized and biased environment, not conducive in any way to discovering truths about the virus and damn near everything else. He was a catalyst for non-truths and has been his entire life. It has nothing to do with honor or insults.
If you can't get banned for inciting a coup against a democratically elected government- can you get banned for anything? His conduct was arguably illegal.

In your ideal world of free speech, is Islamic State allowed to post recruiting videos or call for generalized action? If not, is that 'censorship'? Can you openly call for violence? Can you post revenge porn? Can NAMBLA have a Facebook page and sign up underage members?

The only overly simplistic take is imagining that the world's largest communications platform isn't allowed to have rules or a Terms Of Service. That's just incredibly naive- one can't realistically run a planetary scale (hell, even a small town-scale!) platform with no rules on speech. You seem to be advocating that rules themselves are impermissible. This is an unrealistic take, I'm sorry.

I think that Facebook & others would be best served by having more explicit rules and an independent arbitration system- which they've begun with the Oversight Board- that can make common-law style precedent that gets expanded over time. In your example, the banned candidate can apply to be reinstated- hell that's the case right now, Facebook has lost every case brought to the Oversight Board other than the Trump one!

The successful result of such a lawsuit: average stockholders will get a $12 credit towards their next booking.com excursion. Class action lawyers take their $18M commission. And the execs keep their jobs and those bonuses.
Hogwash. Sharing data and having it stolen are two different things. Luddites did not account for what their idea of the future would miss out on. The data future offers new opportunities in reality based communication.

Working on serious problems like climate change would be hobbled without the rise of the data economy. But to be an economy it must have rules that protect private, personal and ethically important entities.

Yes, yes they do work. That's why it's a billion dollar industry. It allows industries to micro-target specific ads for communities and speak to them directly. It gives you more ability to expand your brand to new customers, not less, as it allows to you to specifically target niche groups who previously had no interest in you. It's important to get a sense of the extreme level of refinement that firms have access to through data-driven marketing. Want to design a marketing campaign for dog-owning, outdoorsy lesbians? Subaru launched an ad campaign in the 90s using subtle coding in their wide-net ads. Now companies can do that much more effectively by directly targeting those communities.

As for the common complaint that you always see ads for products you already purchased, that's actually a very good time to make an impression. What are the odds that you are thinking about buying a new dishwasher at any given moment? Probably next to 0. You probably would completely ignore any dishwasher ad you saw. Now imagine you just replaced your dishwasher with a new one. You probably noticed that dishwasher ad now. You might have even clicked on it to see if you got a good deal on it. You probably care more right now about dishwasher specs than you ever have in your life up to this point. Maybe there's a better deal out there. This is the perfect time to send you more dishwasher ads.
That's a plausible but extremely simplistic definition. If I teach private music lessons to children and hold a public recital where only my students can perform, is that censorship? If a small town holds a local short film competition and has a public screening of the chosen winners, is that censorship?

I think the term "censorship" is overwhelming understood to refer to cases where the suppression of communication is particularly onerous or harmful. There is a vast range of reasonable moderation that absolutely limits the distribution of communication but I would argue is not harmful, and I think it's unreasonable to refer to all such instances as "censorship."

(I'm not however arguing that this particular action by Facebook doesn't constitute censorship. I'm just arguing that the extremely simplistic definition you provided does not really match broad usage of the term.)

Incluzion Creates Remote and Diverse Talent Pool and Job Board for Tech Startups
I believe the typical solution for the paperwork problem is hiring people as freelancers/contractors. From the company’s perspective they’re a vendor that sends an invoice, from the worker’s perspective they’re a business handling their own taxes and whatnot.

This works extremely well and everyone is happy. Even a low US salary is often huge by local standards and more than makes up for the overhead of running yourself as a business.

Some countries even incentivize this. In Slovenia for example (where I started my career with this exact model), your effective income tax is 5% if you’re a solo business making under $100k/year. Typical local engineering salaries are $30k by comparison.
Anybody have link to the memo?
After reading that it is hard to believe the USA Justice Department is not corrupt. Maybe there is more to the story? Hard to tell if the Justice Dept won't talk, which of course makes them look more corrupt. Congressional oversight does not seem to be worth much either here.
Facebook says Trump now suspended until at least January 2023
The longer I live, the more I feel like the US government is no different than China. The only difference is if you're really rich you can get out of state scrutiny in the US. The simple fact that we have government agencies that actively and openly wish to spy on us is a joke and a slap in the face to the constitution entirely. There isn't a single right I have and everyone knows it that I can only enforce in court. What's the point in having rights at all if at any moment in time I can be tried for whatever the hell the state wants to charge me with. Like CP for example. The fact that we can't freely express ourselves leads to stronger conservativism among people here because you have to in order to ensure the state doesn't pursue these actions.

That's a bit harsh. From a quick google:

> The lowest temperature officially recorded in Brazil was −14 °C (7 °F) in Caçador, Santa Catarina state, on 11 June 1952. However, the summit of Morro da Igreja, a mountain situated in the municipality of Urubici, also in Santa Catarina, recorded a temperature of −17.8 °C (0.0 °F) on 30 June 1996 unofficially.

I googled the average winter temperature for those locales and they're all well above freezing - with the exception of the mountain summits - as high as 10-20C in January! Compared to Boston (daily winter lows below freezing) or Germany/Japan (record lows in the -40s), that's basically t-shirt weather.
No one sane would ever want their relatives, friends, work colleagues, and neighbors to be able to know (quoting from the OP):

> who you sleep with because both you and the person you share your bed with keep your phones nearby

> whether you sleep soundly at night or whether your troubles are keeping you up

> whether you pick up your phone in the middle of the night and search for things like "loan repayment"

> your IQ based on the pages you "like" on Facebook and the friends you have

> your restaurant visits and shopping habits

> how fast you drive, even if you don't have a smart car, because your phone contains an accelerometer

> your life expectancy based on how fast you walk, as measured by your phone

> whether you suffer from depression by how you slide your finger across your phone’s screen

> if your spouse is considering leaving you because she's been searching online for a divorce lawyer

No one sane is OK with corporations, governments, and other third parties being able to obtain and save this information either -- especially if their only hurdle is to get you to click "OK" to agree to some legal agreement almost no one has the time to read or expertise to understand in its full implications.

Possible new trojan affecting Xcode builds spreading across GitHub
Federal criminal law is an absolute travesty. Not only are the sentences typically very harsh (10+ years in prison is typical) but also many of the statutes are incredibly broad. The book “ Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent” by Harvey Silverglate was a real eye opener for me. There are so many criminal statutes that prosecutors could lock away virtually any American, even if they’ve not really done anything that a reasonable person would think is wrong.
This has nothing to do with the ability to use a tool like git. Notebooks make sloppy practices easier, but all of these problems exist in non notebook code too.

You have no idea how many times I’ve run into non notebook code that assumes a database or something is in a certain state with no clear explanation of how to get to that statement. Or, a library that requires a certain order of operations that is unclear.
And it makes a big difference to the world if there is a pandemic of 2018 flu and COVID-19 intensity every century or more often. Wikipedians found a gain of function experiment from 2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_of_function_research, but it became a big issue in science policy in 2011 when two groups used serial passage of H5N1 avian influenza in ferrets (a favorite animal model for respiratory diseases) to get it to transmit between them by respiratory droplets. This got a lot of people very concerned, including myself at the time, especially since one or both of the groups did this with no more than BSL-2 level protection against a leak.

So if this COVID-19 origin hypothesis is true and it took only 8 to 19 years for a lab leak of a gain of function experiment to cause the worst pandemic in a century, we ought to be very interested in making sure this happens a lot less often. Ideally not at all, but I see no way to impose a world wide ban on this type of research.
