Thanks! I can't say I love Telegram for messaging (I use Signal for that), but it's great for notifications due to the lack of encryption (makes the API very easy).
If you come up with a way to accurately filter polite comments then you can either 1) make lots of money turning it into a product or 2) watch it go obsolete as people modify their word choice and sentence structure to say equally awful things in different ways.

That aside, it doesn't seem like stomping on anything to say "I want productive conversations only and it's my property so I decide what is productive"

The idea that anyone should be able to say whatever they want on someone else's always seemed extremely entitled to me.

The idea that no one should say anything except on their own site seems to be an extreme limitation on free expression.
South Dakota has a higher death rate per capita than north dakota. Both are in the top 3 for covid cases for per capita. I would say bad example. Where as California was an extreme compared to either state and per capita death rate is 161/100,000 and South Dakota is 229/100,000. That is a roughly 42% difference between South Dakota and California?
Poor frontend devs.. stuff like this has to result in incredibly painful debugging because of assuming code would act one way when it does something else entirely.

Interesting! I see communication as communication, and the medium as completely separate. Does it really matter that much if I communicate an idea to another mind using squiggles on paper, dots on a screen, or recordings of sound waves?
Yes, practically this means shoving as many nitro groups together. But what makes nitro groups explosive to begin with? From what I remember, the large electron shells of the oxygen atoms repel each other, increasing the bond N-O-N angle by a few degrees. It's very easy to break these stressed bonds, and oxidize another carbon compound with the liberated oxygen, creating CO2 gas (the explosive bit).

Some of the most powerful explosives are made by attaching nitro groups to stressed ring or cage structures.
Unfortunately this isn't a "British" thing. This is a human flaw thing and is occurring everywhere including my country in Canada and in US. This is why we cannot and should not be trusting governments with such powers.
I don't think people really understand what happens to a website when it stops censorship/moderation. I suggest visiting 4chan.org, and thinking really hard about the experience. I personally tolerate its nastiness and am a fan of the website, but I don't have any pretension that it's the right sort of moderation policy for a profitable business.
A/B test only them to see how high they'll go
We really need new laws, because the judge is right, most of these tech companies are just not monopolies. Google excepted.

When it comes to FAANGs, in what world does Apple or Netflix have 85%+ market share? It's a ridiculous argument. But if you create a privacy law with draconian penalties, it's easy to show that most of these companies share data.

In my mind, new privacy laws are the way to go. Strong privacy laws would stop most of these companies in their tracks. How many times do activists need to be laughed out of anti-trust courtrooms before we get the message that it's a route that probably won't work?

How a US island kept hold of its 17th Century dialect
I'm not a lawyer, either, and have an honest question: how would a download of the image to cache it differ than a download to view it? They're performing the same action (downloading the bits). But, one stores it for later download by others, the second displays it (and maybe gets cached locally in a browser cache, making it look sort of like the first case...). Does intent matter? Is there an implied protection in that you can download for personal use, but cannot distribute? Does that break down on a multi-user computer? i.e. what if I download the image and my computer shows the cached image another user?
Shall we also start devoting resources towards investigating all of the sneakernet crimes that are occurring?

Yes; the current (semi-modular) standard design is typically built as a U-shape for similar reasons. Minimise the span over the railway and minimise land-take on either side (which for the intended application is typically the edges of fields).

You are discussing a different level of "reasons" than frumper is. In your sense, there is a reason for merchants to take the losses, and there is also a reason for customers to take the losses. But in the sense that there is no reason why customers should take these losses:

>>> I did not initiate the sale with the merchant, I did not verify I was the rightful card holder, I did not authorize the funds to be transferred

there is also no reason why merchants should.

The fact that the system currently operates in a certain way is not actually evidence that it cannot operate in a different way.
I let go of my insecurity of being a ‘real developer’. I got over it. I do my work, and if I feel the urge to build something on my spare time, I do it. I no longer make it a mainstay of my identity (real developers do this, etc).

I think it’s made me more pragmatic.
We don’t expect everyone to work to pay for things. If you have enough money in a market account, you never have to work again. Why the double standard?
It takes quite a bit of effort to credibly challenge something, unless there's a serious, obvious flaw in the methods or evidence supporting the original claim (that's what peer review is supposed to catch).
> Fine. However, there's a general anti-crypto stance here largely based on outdated mainstream narratives that if you truly would be literate about crypto, could only laugh at.

Can you be specific about the narratives you're seeing on here that you are laughing at?

Now if I understand correctly, unless someone inherits a private key of his, his bitcoins are effectively dead now, right? I wonder how this will impact the economics of cryptocurrencies over time: I'm starting to see more and more reminders to congratulate dead people on work anniversaries on LinkedIn, and it feels quite morbid.
Part of it is now data collection is significantly more accurate than it was with just cable. Now that some people can see how radical their viewership may be, it could scare advertisers knowing they're associated with say, Oregon seperatists or Black Panthers.

Yea.. "clever" devs can be a nightmare to have in teams. "I implemented all of that functionality in less than one hour" is great and all but it is just tech debt that needs to be re-factored later and costs ridiculous amounts of time to support and maintain until its re-written.
It would be better to say omega-1 appears on day omega-1, and leave the cardinality of power sets (2^x) out of it. What you are trying to say does not depend on the continuum hypothesis, so it is better to choose a way of saying it which does not depend on the continuum hypothesis either.
I've run a sports forum for almost 20 years. For 18 years of that, it was with no-registration-required to post. There are methods and wordlists to discourage spamming and shadowbanning, but it was surprisingly tolerable all things considered. In recent years, anything pertaining to race or pandemic has been an absolute shitshow from local commenters and foreign agitators, but both are occasionally relevant to the forum (sports events being postponed or moved, etc) so I've been reluctant to can them completely.

I eventually switched to registration-required, but in a way that no one noticed. But the other feature I added was flagging particular conversations as requiring a higher privilege level to post. Regular contributors can request a privilege upgrade to participate. This has helped.
And the vast majority of the internet-using populace, who will never figure this out, can just go screw themselves?

I should have said "safe" rather than correct here.

WUFFs promises that you can't write unsafe things. For example you can't have arithmetic overflow in WUFFS. Every time it sees arithmetic in your code the compiler is trying to decide why this operation might overflow. If you add together two 8-bit variables and put the result in a 16-bit variable, that doesn't overflow, but if you try to put the result in another 8-bit integer variable the compiler assumes unless it can see otherwise that this is an overflow, which is forbidden, so your code doesn't compile.

Buffer overflows are the same, if you're indexing into a buffer with an 8-bit unsigned variable and the buffer has 400 entries it's cool. If it has 100 entries but the compiler has concluded this variable can only be between say, 20 and 48 then that's cool too. But if the compiler can't prove this variable isn't 100 then you've got a potential buffer overflow and the code does not compile.

The C code is an output from WUFFS. WUFFS says "This C code is definitely safe" and then CompCert says "This object code is definitely a correct implementation of your C code" so the result is WUFFS compiled by CompCert is definitely safe object code.
Here's a survey[0] that says the following:
> In addition to users in Africa and Southeast Asia, one more world region where many cryptocurrency users are located is Latin America. Peru leads adoption with 16 percent of respondents, while Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Mexico and Chile all reached double digits.

If you follow local news, you see reports every day saying how growth is constant and spiking, this[1] Chilean headline reads "people who deal Bitcoin grow over 100% in a year" just to give a quick example. I suggest googling news for "<country> criptomonedas" and you'll see most of them will have news of the sort from the past year at the most reflecting on just how many people are getting into it. Google trends for "crypto" for every country in South America have also spiked recently.

I also have anecdata, which is worthless of course but it's there. Nearly everyone I've spoken with who saves here either already has some crypto or is learning about it in order to get started.

That's different when Facebook, YouTube, Twitter are hiding behind the disguise of "algorithms" to push content they like and throttle content they don't like. The "trending" or "for you" or "promoted" etc are all decisions made by the platforms. It's well known that the "trending" videos on YouTube or posts on Twitter are not actually organic.

When they use "algorithms", they are equivalent to publishing. Similar to how newspapers can't just publish everything. They make editorial decisions on what to publish and what not to. The "algorithms" are the editorial decisions. That makes them a publisher. How's this a misunderstanding of the law?
Yes one can, because it is not.
Fundamentally I would argue that this conflates malice and greed. They may be bedfellows, but aren’t necessarily the same thing.

Regardless, this still wouldn’t break Hanlon’s Razor because when you have enough information to adequately explain corruption so devious that it has been intentionally dressed as stupidity, it is rarely explained adequately with mere stupidity.
Which knowing how it works it will drop from the list of priorities at one point and will never be developed.
Nothin free. Pay. Small amounts here and there.
False dichotomy. Would be best if they didn't make them in the first place through employing naive censorship heuristics.
> Considering there are still new bugs found in chip designs, operating systems, and compilers that have been around 4 times as long

Not quite the same. Those codebases are much larger, often include legacy spaghetti code, or are closed source. This makes it more difficult to find exploits, not to mention there's not as clear of path of financial incentive.
I disagree it's out of line to group Reddit with the likes of Pinterest, fb, etc.
The fact that they're slightly more user-friendly doesn't make up for using dark patterns and dirty tricks.

I think it's unethical to intentionally design features that confuse users and force them to take roads they don't really want to take.
Reddit crossed a line with the annoying pop-up that constantly asks you to download their app, for example. I don't care that the pop-up is less persistent than let's say Instagram. It's ill-intentioned design and it shouldn't exist.
social recovery wallets [1] may be a solution to this problem.

> For the issue with the state attorneys, why is the "delay" pertinent?

Because laches [0], which the feds are explicitly exempted from.

> Is there some rule that if the states don't expect a merger to present an issue, but it then does proceed to present an issue despite expectations, that because they failed to correctly predict the future they no longer can do anything?

No, but there is a rule that if you had all the information needed to make a claim, but delayed unreasonably, you can’t make the claim. It bit Trump a lot in his post-election challenges to rules that were clear long before the election. Where a delay with no good cause forecloses less disruptive remedies than those sought (e.g., Trump’s delay foreclosing most remedies beside throwing out election results), that weighs in favor of laches barring the claim.

Knowledge-Aware machine LEarning (KALE) from multiple sources in Python
Thanks, sithlord. My wife is a type 1 diabetic and it's even worse than your comment suggests, because the different fast acting insulins have a different curve (when do they start working, when is the peak, how long do they have an effect) and our insurance company keeps making her switch to a different "equivalent" formulation because the price to them is lower this month. This means that there's a learning curve, more highs and lows, when she has to switch.

Humalog's patents have expired, as I understand it, but cartel behavior has kept the price high in the US.
> ...small communities would fill that void.

For a short time, and the overwhelming majority of people would have no idea that content exists. Then some enterprising startup founder would realize that there's a huge market for those exact services, and history would slowly repeat (rhyme with?) itself.

This free content, sans big tech pipedream is just that. Sorry if that makes you sad.
> But they're not identical, they differ by a comma.

This makes as much sense as saying that "Stop me!" and "Stop me!" aren't identical, because one of them is first and the other is second.

It's true, but it's not relevant to sorting them.

Your "desired feature of sorting algorithms" is most commonly realized as the question of whether the algorithm provides a "stable" sort -- that is, whether two values that compare equal are guaranteed to occur in the same order in the (sorted) output that they did in the (unsorted) input. There are applications where this is considered desirable, and many other applications where it isn't. But there are no applications in which it's not possible for two values to compare equal. For the question of stable sorting to arise in the first place, you have to have already realized that you're going to be sorting things that compare equal.

Moving mass further distances requires more energy. Personal cars enable, and require, living further away from each other. Hence personal cars lead to consuming more energy. The further away people live from each other causes knock on effects for energy usage for all of the mass moved for living.

Damn, I didn't realize that. I assumed it was some Google-bot analysis.
Scotus should punish states that pass obviously unconstitutional nonsense. It's vexatious litigation, it shows contempt for the court and the constitution. If Florida can't legislate like a grown up state, put them under direct federal control for a few years. They can go back to being a territory and we'll let Puerto Rico have their reps for a while.
I don't think anybody is stupid enough to keep $1 Billion in some wallet protected only by their private key.

I am used to driving with a GPS which measures in kilometers and metres. So the conversion between kilometres to meters is just a question of moving the decimal point: 0.5 kilometre is 500 metres, 0.25 kilometer is 250 metres, and so forth.

When I drove in Britain which uses miles on their GPS, it was disconcerting to see the GPS ranges go down steadily to 2 miles, 1 mile, 0.5 miles, 0.25 miles then a discontinuity when the size of the numbers bounces back up to 400 yards before declining again to 300 yards, etc.

I know it's really just a matter of what you're used to, but it's difficult to get your head around completely different systems of measurement when you need to be able to think quickly.
Sounds like overkill, mate. I’ll go with your comments parent. Maybe 5 peanuts. In all seriousness, I’ll agree on cdn at 20 a month plus 3 @ 15 dollar nodes running out app and db, let’s go multimaster with a local db node on each app server, screw the c go for a and p, and yeah a single haproxy hardware thread, ha, so make that 2 single core nodes 1gb will do fine for 300k connections per second, um you mentioned staff? For what exactly?

Anyway, you can do anything the hard way, but what’s your point? That serving millions of cats per second requires big investment that must be recouped? I see most of this as rent seeking, and the infrastructure is economy of scale. Maybe you use tensor flow and Kafka inside Kubernetes, I dunno…

I agree that one can expect lame websites to act lame, but it’s out of sheer churlishness rather than necessity
Thank you Michael! Please keep up the excellent work at Phoronix!
Just please, stop using the word Holocaust if you don't know what it was. I just don't get the fad of comparing things to Holocaust, it just shows complete lack of sensitivity or knowledge of history.

My grandparents lived through German occupation of Poland. You would not want to live in a world where invaders can and do liberally stop you for whatever reason or no reason at all and shoot just for fun.

Poland lost about 3M ethnic Poles out of something like 24M population, just to German and Soviet occupation, most of them murdered in cold blood, not due to war action.

At least if you were Pole you could keep your head down and maybe live through the war.

Holocaust was 1000 times worse than that.

It was targeted, merciless action to wipe out an entire nation. 100% of it. You would be hunted like an animal. Worse than that, if anybody tried to help you they and their families would also be punished by death.
Then there's room for a startup that will make payments by proxy.

I kind of figured all of the dead diabetics in the US that I’ve read about over the years was the result of a structural problem with our healthcare system. Apparently this is maybe an issue with suboptimal Google AdSense campaigns that led to fewer diabetics knowing about the font of free insulin?

So if I release a book as a small time author, and it is recognised as being good but doesn't do too well commercially, a major publisher with distribution and marketing reach can just republish it a year later when copyright lapses? I'm not sure I enjoy that idea.

Like many things in our society there is a disjoint between small and enormous entities. Yes, Disney can make a lot of money off Frozen in the first year or two. I probably couldn't even if you handed it to me.

I agree lifetime-plus is too much and we need to own our culture, but I think a few years is too little. 5 years, maybe 10, seems more reasonable as it captures the cultural zeitgeist but we all move on. And for smaller creators, it's similar to a change in job role or career every 5-10 years which is fairly typical.
