I agree. I see nothing “strange” of a very small company blocking criticism on Twitter (even if it is a fair criticism). A bank have thousands of employees, tens of which (maybe even hired agencies) have a full time job handling social media.

A small company has zero people whose full time job is to handle social media, so it makes sense for them to clean their feed up anyway they like it. I also see zero effect on their business.

Not sure why the author made a big thing out of this block too. It is not a big deal for neither involved
I'm hoping that this is the start of a trend away from the overly complex, overly engineered, big ball of mud that is Kubernetes towards simpler and easier deployment/hosting/container runtimes that are easier for smaller and large teams alike to manage.

Don't get me started on how "devops" has become a meme. I want to deploy services and features. I wouldn't want to spend my full time dealing with Kubernetes and containers and all manner of complexity.

I think cloud providers have much better models generally (e.g. Azure App Service). Setup pipeline, deploy, done. Containers are an optional thing.

What I'm saying is, I don't think it's fair on anyone that essentially the only choices are 1) run servers and VM's yourself and manage deploying to them 2) kubernetes 3) cloud providers.

There needs to be an option between them.

Here's the official release from the launch partner [0](Arianeespace and the Eeuropean Space Agency are providing the launch on an Ariane V rocket).

They are the ones responsible for that milestone of the project (NASA and JPL already completed manufacturing of the spacecraft).

An Orch like you will never understand the difference between a fruit and berry. You better get off the Internet before you break it all with your hairy feet. Surprising? It is basic db design.
That's the part I don't understand, you can still go in the streets and protests (well ok maybe we could argue if that's still allowed since it seems people are starting to be against peaceful protests now as well), you can still print paper and distribute it to others on public land, as well as send it to their mailbox. You can still pay for advertising whatever message you want to a lot of private outlets. You can still host your own content and platform anywhere on the internet.

Apart for peaceful protests which I feel there's a weird sentiment that the police or military should intervene to suppress (which I think is the most problematic act against democracy), I don't really see where it is dying otherwise.

Prior to Facebook or Twitter, there were no free platforms. You couldn't even dream to be on television unless you had a lot of money to pay to offer your own TV channel, or pay to be featured.

So I really don't see the argument for Facebook and Twitter and all to somehow have to offer free content hosting and promoting for anyone. Why wouldn't it be at their discretions like it always was for private platforms to do so?
I think the biggest problem is less spam and more harassment. Simply blocking harassers isn't as effective as blocking spam due to the way social networks generally work. The harasser can just move on to your connections which is potentially even worse than them harassing you. Imagine an ex-partner sending revenge poor to all your contacts. Fighting that requires the ability for users to report potential bad actors and for the platform to have a centralized moderation mechanic to stop those bad actors.
> And they've achieved it not by simply being the best, but also via predatory pricing, and using money from AWS to cover costs in their retail arm to help gain market share, at the expense of smaller retailers who don't have a massively profitable cloud service to offset their losses with.

Source? Their financials do not indicate that they were or are subsidizing losses in their retail business with AWS.

https://dazeinfo.com/2019/11/06/amazon-net-income-by-year-gr...

AWS income did not even ramp up until a few years after it came out in 2006.

Their main competitive advantage was having a decent website and shipping operation early on when other retailers did not, and being able to sell goods to customers in most states without charging sales tax until the 2010s for most states.
There are also a proliferating number of sun-sync earth observation small sats. These are often from capital/mass/volume limited new space companies. Lowering their initial launch mass allows them to prove out a business model for a lower cost and then refuel it if it works with future capital. Benchmark's "pay as you go" SaaS-like model is also interesting in the same vein.

At retina resolution it shouldn't matter.
I don't think the article talked about it directly, but there was a block right in the middle of the memory map for it.
> if you could extend the lifetime of your billion-dollar meteorological satellite for a few million you might want to have this thing fly over to refuel you

The pitch for in-orbit refuelling is clear. Less clear is the advantage of a tank in (a close, but wrong) orbit over one on the ground with a launch booked.
> That npm dependency trees are often insane doesn't help though. I'm not totally sure why they are so insane, but I increasingly think that npm's ability to have multiple versions of same dependency in the dependency tree -- often seen as a huge advantage over other platforms -- is in fact part of the problem.

Aren't npm dependency trees so large because JavaScript doesn't have much of a standard library? And also, similarly, the community is so large and has been moving so fast that even de facto standards have difficulty forming and surviving at a large scale across the community.
There’s precedent for exactly that kind of relationship—commercial, for-profit, but legally restrained to do business with anyone without discrimination. It’s called a “common carrier”.

Although it was the FCC under Trump that, in 2017, removed common carrier status as a requirement for ISPs. Hard to make the case that ISPs are not common carriers but Twitter is.
Trump launches latest grift, seeking donations for a meritless lawsuit using fraudulent language.

A better title.
Apple is welcome to build the "mainstream computer", but they should do so with respect to the protocols and open-source space around them.

I wish we had a large research effort on just trying to understand a cpu running windows 98.

E.g. put all of our best analysis tools to task against an operating pentium chip and see if we can determine from first principals that it is running a W98 screen saver.

That would give us a small sense of the challenge we are facing.
Time to dust off my old 2003 12" Powerbook G4!

Man, I loved that thing. So many hours playing Civ3, Warcraft3, and writing Java code. And that aluminum keyboard was so awesome. It booted successfully as recently as 2 years ago.

Mine has 640MB RAM, close enough for this challenge, I guess.

Fire together, wire together refers to the connection between two neurons strengthening.

Firing just before the recipient neuron fires strengthens the bond, and firing afterwards/off tempo weakens the bond.

It's an elegant concept, because it handles neural weights, a non-linear activation function, and clock speed with a simple, distributed rule.
You are not using any variables or anything from bash in that query. Wouldn't it make more sense to extract it to a .sql file and just run that, rather than your (rather long) heredoc?

even those don't matter. The only thing that actually matters are the consequences.
I was watching a presentation given by the MGT project manager at cal tech and he mentioned that the MGT has a lower diffraction limit than the JWST. I think “diffraction limit” was the term he used, I don’t remember. The idea was that the images are supposed to be sharper. I was very confused about that. Why build JWST if MGT is going to maker cleaner images?
The irony. Your sensors seem to be badly miscalibrated.

I've seen moments in the last week where no fewer than three items on the frontpage were dealing in Copilot outrage. URLSearchParams, on the other hand, is brand new. (I wouldn't even be surprised if this were the first time the topic has made it to the frontpage, ever—if it's even been submitted for discussion at all; searches aren't disconfirming this, but it's hard to be conclusive by just filtering on submission titles.)

As for the (obnoxiously stated) claim "Umm... the article is also about Copilot", you're off by about a mile (or maybe off by an amount that we'd expect from a machine that feels like it's doing pattern matching and faking deep, human-level understandig). Copilot's relationship to the article is incidental; it uses Copilot snippets as examples. The article is about URLSearchParams and data encoding.
Of course the opposition to new housing is from existing homeowners whose property values benefit from increasing scarcity amidst sky-high demand.

> In late May, dozens of people gathered in Ketchum’s town square to protest the lack of housing and support a new 56-unit affordable-housing complex that a developer wants to build downtown. Some residents oppose the project, which the city council is still weighing, saying it would shrink what limited parking there is and concentrate low-income housing in a single area.
Fascinating article. I've been doing research in this area and I wonder if there was exploration for JinjaThreads - which operate on Jinja (a Java-like language) that does a formal DRF proof guarantee (coincidentally using Isabelle/HOL).

You can read more about this here if you're interested: https://www.isa-afp.org/entries/JinjaThreads.html
There is a lot - customer support (aka customer 360), fraud detection, some maintenance cases, inventory, recommendations, etc. But it’s heavily dependent on requirements - what should be response time. Most of graph databases are good in fast response time, but will do it only for 2-3 hops from known start points. For many other things, graph analytics with Spark or something like could be better
> If you cover up my peephole or hide yourself so that I can't recognize you, why would I even let you know I'm home? Even if you tell me who you are, shouldn't I be worried that someone is impersonating you?

Perhaps… but if the culture changes and _everyone_ starts covering the peephole, regardless of their intentions, you'll eventually stop looking because you know it's pointless. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll just open your door willy-nilly, it just means you'll come up with some alternative way of having your visitors prove their unmaliciousness.
> the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but other countries might have determined their own (additional) set

It works in opposite way. Universal Declaration universally declares nice stuff, but member countries are free to restrict and persecute the freedom of """hate speech""", the freedom of """extremist expression""" et cetera et cetera et cetera

UDoHR is just a words, intellectuals are seduced by words and dismiss the fact UDoHR doesn't works anywhere except (maybe) America

> fix the reason why a commercial for-profit company is regarded as public square in the first place.

This would be ideal. The network effect is strong. As Barrin92's response to my comment stated, anyone can make an alternative site. But all of the value comes from the large networks of people on these sites.

I would prefer if such a "public square" site weren't for profit, if I'm going to be honest. Not sure how well that would work, but profit motives introduce too many flaws for such a necessary part of society. OTOH, so do influences from other means...

Open source naturally allows for competition. Look at Chrome, Google employed all these predatory practices to get Chrome to the market share it is today, but a significant amount of that market share is split between Chromium forked competitors.

Can you provide some examples of his dictatorship mode of operation?
I don’t know how the math turns out, either, but because this thing exists, I would guess it’s so much cheaper to launch one huge depot than a hundred smaller ones (reasons could be higher cargo/total weight ratio and/or lower launch overhead) that it compensates for the extra maneuvering.

Of course, that’s gambling on those hundred customers to exist, on refueling to be reliable, etc.

How can you exert your constitutional rights if the government allows companies to create/purchase/monopolize every avenue in which to express your rights? What if you had to pay a toll to utilize corporate paid sidewalks and roads? How could you protest the government? Likewise, the internet infrastructure we have today was created by the government, so it only make sense that the fundamental rights we have protected by the constitution be respected here as well.

I don't understand why many liberals defend a corporations freedom to silence speech but get angry when conservatives in the government do it. Six of one, half dozen of the other, it's still speech being silenced by someone more powerful than you. But one being a corporation and one being a politician doesn't change the fact that both limit freedom of speech protected by the constitution.

Conversely, Julia's comprehension syntax is very powerful and quite a bit more general than what is described here — but in a different way.

- They're not list comprehensions, they're one-dimensional vector comprehensions. And they seamlessly extend to multidimensional array comprehensions.

> because restaurants must pay door dash and can’t raise prices just for door dash users

All the restaurants I know charge higher prices if you order online than if you call directly or go in person. I do not use food delivery apps, but I assume prices are similarly inflated there since people willing to purchase online or via app are amenable to paying more.

It is absolutely crazy to me the amount of premium people are willing to pay just to not have to pick up the phone or drive 5 min.
I believe there are some kinds of photography that can only be done outside the atmosphere.

It actually gives you 5G in Canada and Mexico for free, which is particularly useful to me.

In international locations to your point it gets you enough for Maps and Mail, and some basic web browsing. You won't be streaming, that's for sure. However, if I need more than that, I use it to bootstrap an e-sim like GigSky which you can then route all data traffic to (at least on iOS) via Cellular settings.

This way you keep your phone number, iMessage, texting, and get 5G data too.

Good points! I'm certainly in favor of time-shifting demand to meet supply to maximally utilize renewables. Let's grab as much of this low hanging as we can.

I just thought the framework of his argument was rather odd. Better water heaters are framed as being a way to avoid constructing power storage systems that convert variable renewable energy into steady baseline power, which feels like an argument that doesn't hold up. We'll still need some way to supply steady power to run AC units, heaters, and other big power draws all night, no matter what type of water heaters we use!
That's not what I meant. You can err on either side and both directions have their costs, which are much clearer in hindsight. There is a reason why the game doesn't predict the future. Because we don't know it.

I specifically meant erring on the other side.
So in essence: Don't get too popular, because if you do, the government will restrict your ability to moderate the content you host.
> I would prefer if such a "public square" site weren't for profit, if I'm going to be honest. Not sure how well that would work

Works perfectly fine. There are plenty of alt-platforms that are based on self-hosted principles like that (Mastodon, Pleroma, Matrix), and all of them are about the most "free" platforms (rather, protocols) you can find.
I think that facebook etc are now public spaces. Weren't they granted some liability exemption? So they wouldn't get sued or something for a comment they only host on their platform?

The US is not leaving Afghanistan because of 'loss in confidence' but rather because they are finally admitting what has been clear for more then a decade now (arguable for 1000 years). Its incredibly idiotic and nonsensical to occupy Afghanistan. I would prefer to call it 'accepting reality' and that seems a good thing.

And the problem in Mali is in large part because of totally idiotic over-confidence just a few years ago.

There's a classic scam where you send a letter correctly predicting the Super Bowl winner and then collect "investments" for your future predictions (i.e. scam people out of their money). The trick is just to mail out the same letter for every team.
