> But here it's not what they choose to remove, not "moderation.. It's what those in power press them to remove, aka "censorship"

Moderators are literally censors, by definition. Look up the definition of "censor" if you don't believe me.

People need to stop playing word games to avoid the label of "censorship". Just accept that you're ok with some types of censorship and try to justify the types you support rigourously. That's the only way to avoid a slippery slope. Trying to tap dance around calling it censorship serves no one.
I first learned the definition of "gaslight" like 10 years ago from a Project Manager friend who said I was "gaslighting" her because I secretly fixed a bug she complained about and pretended it was never a bug to begin with.

I didn't know the meaning of the word so I looked it up. It's related to the plot of a movie I believe.

It's a great word to describe the situation we were in.

Nowadays people use "gaslight" to mean something different and it annoys me. But what do I know, I am not a linguist.
Thank for the clarification. I did see the lambda announcement, but have not looked at it yet. Will move that up the priority list.
Gaslighting seems to have entirely lost its original definition. I now see it being used to describe almost any kind of disagreement or abuse. It's unfortunate, because it does disservice to actual victims of gaslighting.
Let's start with teeth please :)

Is it really a shift in definition? Your new definition of

sounds like a disagreement over whether a fact is true.
Thanks for the question, unlike sci-kit learn we have focused on building better hyper parameter tuning and continuous streaming unsupervised learning rather than one time batch unsupervised learning, this allows us to much better track patterns over time. We also have several models not on sklearn and even for the ones that are there, we have reimplemented them with better GPU support. You can also find some more info on that here : https://www.all.vision/technical-whitepaper
I don't need to tell it to you. I and everyone I know have gotten covid and are doing fine. Covid is not the bubonic plague. Its not even the Spanish flu. The data show that already.
I think GM sells a more cars in some years than Tesla’s total US sales of all time. They sold 2.8 million US cars in 2019 so 10% would be similar to every Model S ever sold in the US.[1]

[1] https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-model-s-sales-figures-us...
Here's the thing though. If you hit me with your car, it doesn't matter whether it was an accident or whether you intended to. You still caused me damage and it's still not crazy for me to hold you accountable. I may have more empathy in one case than another but if you refuse to accept responsibility for the harms you caused then yeah that empathy is likely going away. And this is what the author refers to near the beginning of the article:

"Adult children frequently say the parent is gaslighting them by not acknowledging the harm they caused or are still causing, failing to respect their boundaries, and/or being unwilling to accept the adult child’s requirements for a healthy relationship".

No one is perfect. I still have a great relationship with my own parents despite their failings but not all my siblings do, and as I've told each of my parents, it's on them to work to make that relationship better. Some things my siblings may never forgive or forget and you can do with that what you will, but if you want this person in your life you have to work to make it happen.
I haven't looked at the Amazon plans, but the risks of something like Kessler syndrome "trapping" us on earth from Starlink are low.

The main reason is that the Starlink satellites fly in a very low altitude, such that even if they lose all control, they will deorbit in a few years. Which means, if something went horrifically wrong, the Starlink system debris would clear itself within a short period of time.

It looks like the Amazon Project Kuiper satellites will be slightly higher up, but still have a natural orbital decay time of between 5-7 years. https://spacenews.com/amazon-lays-out-constellation-service-...

So, the long term risks from these kinds of low-orbit mega constellations is fairly low. If anything goes catastrophically wrong we wait a decade and it's gone.

I think personally, the longer term risks we should be wary of are medium altitude and geostationary orbits that won't naturally clear themselves for decades or centuries if something goes wrong.

"complete" here is a matter of analysis / topology much more than it is a matter of algebra.

In some sense, the algebraic numbers are indeed important in algebra as being the 'basic' field with infinite characteristic.

You get to `R` by demanding completeness (for others reading, the demand that every converging sequence has an existing limit). I would say that the idea of limits and completeness are fundamentally topological / analytical. Which is closer to geometry than to algebra.

I think the main conclusion here is that there is good reason that the field "algebraic geometry" exists.
I think it is easy to look at this and say "wow, look at these dumb young people". But when I look around at people I know who are in this spot, the responses from parents has been truly awful. I know people whose parents have physically beaten them yet the parents still insist they were loving and cannot understand why their child broke the relationship. I know people whose parents raised them to be racist and are now shocked that their kid is cutting them off after finding an interracial relationship that their parents think is wrong.

A parent who says "I just loved you the whole time" when they actually traumatized their child is gaslighting in the traditional sense.
Sure...but it would cost less in materials, packing space, and machining, to replace a handle with a plate. Yes, standardizing both sides to be the same may offset that, but we're talking negligible amounts at that point. You'd actually save a measurable amount on an interior door if you went with metal or hollow core.
Arch's default repos are definitely missing several cross-platform (at least Mac and Linux) programs that I've installed with Homebrew, without having to touch the config or add any extra repositories. I listed a few in another post, above. I've yet to see the opposite, because I simply haven't encountered anything I wanted that wasn't on homebrew. More details in another post elsewhere in the thread.

Arch does seem to be about as good as Gentoo's portage, which is the best selection I've yet to see in a Linux package manager. I'm not interested in a rolling-release base system anymore, though, because I just don't have the time or patience for "running update broke X/Wayland/audio/wifi/boot" these days, or fiddling with whatever it takes to keep that from happening. Rolling release applications? That I like.
Good point. Unless you were the first-born and inherited the family farm you were probably forced to find your luck elsewhere and even 20 or 30 miles would mean effectively being separated from your parents for all but special occasions.
I haven't read the book, but I would imagine a story where you'd have a simulation where the maker decides that whenever the humans try to find pi by squeezing a polygon between two circles, you mess with them in the small digits. Similarly for the inverse squares sum.

Yet somehow a case is missed out, and some day someone asks the VM for pi in some other way, a discrepancy is found, and there you go...
But you still have to look up the individual values right? I'm using Flakes, pinning commit hashes is automatic (lockfile) - but i still have no clue what version any package is on.

As with a lot of comments about Nixlang, the tooling there seems lackluster at best. In this case i'd want tooling to easily know and change package versions, not sweeping changes to your entire package ecosystem. Nix might give me that, but resolving derivations manually is not a great UX, imo.
What an amazing idea! It would make working solitary so much more fun! Granted you like your colleagues but in my case that's definitely not a problem. I would love to see this idea in action some time! Amazing work!
Let companies decide what is ok on their own platforms, but don't let them get so big, and break them up now that they have become so big.

If that was his plan, he picked the entirely wrong company to accomplish it. There are many layers of access control at Google that would make that impossible regardless of how highly placed he is. He'd be better off at a smaller company with less mature security tools.
One of the things that keeps popping up on my wife's feeds is that Covid seems to be giving people auto-immune antibodies. So, the body appears to be continuing to low level attack the circulatory system, organs, etc.

Basically, we're looking at a massive increase in auto-immune diseases in the next couple years, and you're doctor friend should talk to nearby Rheumatologists about one of the biologic drug trials.

Again, based on the buzz from places like creakyjoints.
I have used Power BI and let's say Python (or any other programming language that has a graphic lib) gives you way more freedom.

Power BI and Tableau are favoured by analysts who do not necessarily want to put down a lot of efforts to learn programming (which is fine).
In the 1990s, the idea of electric RC planes were ridiculed as well. I am moderately optimistic that 1:1 planes will eventually follow, as RC electric cars became "good enough" and 1:1 electric cars are a reality now.
Zoom caps to 40 minutes and has an easy "upgrade now or this meeting will end" button. Very effective conversion tool.
I'm sure everyone has experienced double doors at the front of a business in which one of the two doors is locked. A relative of mine used to be the director of franchising of a restaurant chain and he noticed that literally hundreds of people would try to open the wrong side of the door every day in every restaurant where this happened. When he asked store managers or the employees about this, he would get evasive or invented answers: it keeps the heat in on cold days (or keeps heat out in air-conditioned locations) or that the second door wasn't working.

Hardly anyone wanted to admit the real reason, which turned out to be as silly as you can imagine. The first employee of the morning that came to open up the restaurant opened one side of the double door. Flipping up the hasp that frees the second door is a bit of a chore, so he or she wouldn't bother. And nobody else bothered as well.

The head office had to put a requirement in the operations manual that franchisees must unlock both sides of the double door when the restaurant is open for business. That mostly solved it.

EDIT: Of course a better solution would be a mechanical mechanism that frees both sides of the door simultaneously when you unlock it.
Suppose there were only 8000 cars in the world, evenly spread all over it (I'm being generous here, since 2/3 of Earth is covered by water). How likely would you be to ever see one?
> Editorial control over twitter.com is Twitter's freedom of expression as well.

Indeed. I don't know why more people don't see this; also note that recommendations are the speech of the person, algorithm, or company doing the recommending.
>Do you really think that local municipalities focus on single use plastic is the reason we haven't solved climate change yet?

No, and I wasn’t trying to say that.

> Climate change and plastic pollution are two separate issues, but I would be willing to bet that the folks who support plastic pollution legislation are also some of the more fervent supporters of climate change legislation.

I agree, but in democratic societies (at least in western europe where I have experience), policy tends to be decided by compromise between different interests, and plastic bans and more impactful climate change occupy the same lane of general support for environmentalism.

So we get into a situation where green parties want to reduce plastics and want to reduce petrol/gas use, and our (Western European) compromise becomes a ban on plastic and little done to reduce petrol/gas usage.
It does seem rather inside-baseball for something released publicly. Maybe the audience is only a subset of the public, though, and this was just the simplest way to get it to them.

> Editorial control over twitter.com is Twitter's freedom of expression as well.

That's debatable. What twitter decides to promote, in feeds and other things via algorithms, certainly falls under their freedom of expression. But their "editorial control" currently also extends over hosting comments by others as well (which they can choose not to promote), and that is questionable and arguably could be made illegal. We had a recent discussion on an article by a legal scholar that argues for this distinction:

One of my previous stints was with a small team that was building a cloud-based payroll and HR platform for the Australian market (potentially going abroad as well). It definitely opened my eyes to how complicated award rules can be.

I also remember testing being a challenge, particularly when things like multiple backpays, accruals, or one off adjustments were involved.

There was also an integration API, but I didn't stick around long enough to see it evolve enough for widespread third-party adoption.

Anyway, congratulations on the launch!
I find that scary actually. Many of the same people were ostensibly for unions and breaking up big tech to minimize their power, but are now embracing the full exercise of their power? Worse, endorsing an effective merger of media and state, which is an expansion of centralized power into the ultimate monopoly. The big tech giants are increasingly setting the boundaries of conversation based on government agencies.

Is this not an incredibly powerful tool of censorship and propaganda? Imagine this in the hands of a dictator. We are sowing the seeds of our own oppression.
> Why were none of the Japanese executives arrested?

For what? A criminal is claiming his innocence, classical story, people do that all the time. Without further proof, why should anyone bother people who are probably innocent, and more important: powerful. That could seriously harm your career if you do something to lightly. Who would do that in this situation?

The other problem is the pretty strict chain of responsability people in Japan maintain. Especially in the legal system, there is a very strong and infamous believe that people do not fail in their work, and questioning it is a serious matter. This is a long known problem with japan, but it's quite hard to fix this. So even in a regular harmless case, hardly anyone would do something to insult someone else by questioning the result of their work.
Imagine Walmart at the height of their retail power, but they also control the infrastructure running a huge portion of the internet, several media properties, and are working on creating a new ISP - that's Amazon. We're heading into a world where the likes of Standard Oil will look like a quaint "lifestyle business" compared to the FAANG giants.

The difference would be the good faith of the argument. It's not gaslighting if someone believes I have my facts wrong, or my take on the situation is wrong.

It WOULD be gaslighting if someone thought my take on the situation was correct, but claimed that I was wrong in order to sew doubt in me.
All data is capable of being decrypted somewhere. Usually where you are storing it. Otherwise you can't do anything with it.

Storing data encryped in north korea, with the capability to fetch and decrypt that data in Sweden, is approximately equivalent to storing the unencrypted data in Sweden (as far as hackers, law enforcement, etc. are concerned), except you've now added the additional risk that north korea only needs to exfiltrate one encryption key to gain access to all your data.

More reasonably, if you're storing the data in north korea, that's also where you have the compute, and therefore the decryption keys, and therefore someone in north korea who knows what they are doing can quitely steal the decryption keys, make a copy of your data, and view all the data unencrypted.

Encryption is only foolproof(ish) when you are sending data between two trusted endpoints. That's not the case for the cloud, the place you are storing the data is also almost always one of the "trusted" endpoints. Encrypting the data at rest has some minor benefits (being a hurdle to accessing the data, meaning that theft of a single hard disk doesn't get data) but doesn't provide any form of unbreakable security.
At the first sign of any pain I try to identify the cause. It's almost always ergonomic related.

The most useful stretch/exercise I do is pushing my hands together, palms flat against each other, in front of my sternum with my fingers pointing up, out, and down for ~30 seconds in each position, once or twice a day.

> both available but the whole point of nix is to let go of this notion of versioning

To be clear, i'm on NixOS and i use Flakes to manage my imports.

Letting go of versioning feels like nonsense. I need to write my software against specific versions of other libraries. I can't just ignore version and hope for the best.

Why does Nix think suddenly Semver compatibility is no longer a concern?
In a private environment you have tons of options. The post however refers to notification between independent entities on the public network.
I think the fact that they’re a monopoly is the big thing (or effectively one).

Monopolies have always had different rules. My electric utility is a private company but in my state they have to ask permission before raising prices.
Older cars without screens required by regulations are going to be a good investment for a while. Mid 90's hit the sweet spot for reliability, repair ability, and simplicity for several makes, usually at the lower end of their lines. My mechanic buddy (who specializes in things like mud trucks and dragster rebuilds) has had a lot more business recently in repairs to those era of cars that wouldn't have been thought viable last year; things like engine and transmission swaps.

"carefully thought through what it is you want to do with that freedom"

I used to think this way, now I severely disagree, I think nowwhat you want in life cant be anticipated with thought, it can only be hewn out of a rough stone through trial, error, success, and reflection. Atleast thats been my arc over the last 16 years working towards happiness and freedom.

For example, have you ever had a long term regret that you finally faced only to come away thinking, "Now that Im in this position, I should have never regretted not being here." The regret disappears and you feel much more confident in your ability to steer yourself.

You only gain true perspective through actions, not thought, how could you, your thoughts are siloed from reality.

That was the strategy for that situation. They can use national security letters and gag orders to force multinationals to silently turn over root certificates, they can intercept hardware you buy in the mail, they can MITM your connection with the full cooperation of your ISP. Anyone who thinks they’re going to defend themselves against a targeted attack by the most sophisticated and well funded state-level attacker in the world is dreaming.
Is there any reason we need several private companies doing their own thing instead of making this a world wide project where every company can buy in?

I mean sure nobody would have done anything like that without Starlink. But it's like every mobile provider would setup their own antennas in a way.
I don't disagree, it is everyone's job to work on relationships.
I'm not sure what that has to do with this. There could be laws requiring that the data be kept secure and private without specifying that it has to be kept in a certain location.

Besides which, India doesn't have a good track record of protecting privacy either.

The context and interpretation is always shifting and different. The human condition is always the same. So much comes back to simple communication. Things people often struggle with that are required for honest communication: listening, empathy, vulnerability, patience. It isn't some great unsolved puzzle in most relationships. I have often found it only takes one side to start bridging the gap to start truly communicating. It is when both parties insist on being right and aggrieved and conceding nothing that estrangement happens. Of course there are many complex situations, mental illness, etc. It works the same way in business. Everything is so much easier when you can listen and empathize with people. Actually empathize, not just empathize with the goal of making a point or convincing someone of decision, etc.
It’s a plain bug expected of beta quality software.

> * miners

Agreed, though it obviously depends on the cost (price of ASICs and electricity), revenue (price of BTC), and competition (hash rate & difficulty), as well as the timeframe to set up an operation. Interesting problem.

> * exchanges

Big ones, yes. That seems to be pretty much an issue where your fixed costs are high, but marginal costs very low, so you really really want volume. So, hard to break in, and as a smaller exchange, you might well go bankrupt.

And, the big exchanges charge enormous fees, from what I can see, much more than the good old "legacy tech" equity exchanges. LOL.

> * people selling stuff for bitcoin.

Hm, interesting. Yeah. Savoury guys.

I'd add though

* people that mined/bought very early, and now realise their gains.
