Right, I’m with you on that front. The neighborhood watch committee isn’t for me… it’s probably an archaic concept that peaked in the 80’s but still is an instrument of racism in some places today. See also: Ahmaud Arbery.

I currently reside in a post-war suburb and it’s not really anything malicious, but there is still that dynamic here in some ways. It’s kept alive mostly by my 82 year old neighbor who is in everyone’s business.

I used to see these signs more often:

I think those are a relic of the early 90’s fears about crime and gang activity; not so common today.

That's like saying you can run a 3 minute mile so you don't have a shoe size.

This whole thread is silly.
I mean, I don’t really think this holds up. I have personally dropped all Google products I use in favor of privacy-focused alternatives. For example, GA>Fathom, Gmail>Protonmail, etc. So I’m sure privacy-focused competitors will pop up soon, or perhaps they already exist and I simply don’t know of them because I’m not a big user of the OP’s listed Goog products.

The market has most certainly spoken: we prefer privacy, and we no longer want to be a product. Competition will come to fill those needs. No need for more government regulation. The free market works.
If the employee told the employer to stop contacting them, then yes, it would be harassment.
It was explained multiple times throughout this very thread. And it’s been proven in the real world in multiple countries.

The fact that you don’t want to accept this (“No one is ever going to convince me”) makes it just something you have decided not to believe.
Giving anyone the ability to arbitrate what is "good" speech vs "bad" speech is way too much power. In any era of history there have always been "truths" that were massively popular and eventually overturned. I don't think we are the first era to be an exception. So when you're talking about punishing "bad" speech you are talking about creating super powerful entities just because they agree with you. That intent scares me far more than whatever nonsense you get from q anon or antivaxxers.
This virus is the prime example of why most people here are against thingd like this. Look how many times the government officials have flipped on all of this virus stuff. One day it is completely debunked, discredited and misinformation to suggest the virus came from a lab. The next day it is a plausible theory. We cannot trust banning misinformation because we don't know what is actually misinformation. What is misinformation today is accurate information tomorrow.
I often wonder whether the solution is setting the expectation with companies that if they act in bad faith, their leadership will be om nom nommed? Apologies for the metaphor, it's the best I could come up with on short notice.
To be fair, that doesn’t make it untrue. It just means a source is required - the parent may be a primary source, heh, but that has to be established.

(I agree with you, I just have been corrected in the past with actual on-ground knowledge that hadn’t been reported yet - don’t know if that’s the case here :))
> ... only on the high-level unpack methods

Unlike the go library, on the unsafe methods, the rust library includes a note explaining the security footgun.

It also provides 'unpack_in' on entry, so there's a secure and insecure variant.

The go library should at least include a note, but does not. The rust library does not have the same footgun because it is clearly documented and provides a secure alternative.
MLB created the Disney+ streaming service
The vast majority of type 2 diabetics--and the vast majority of Americans--live in a existentially threatening mess of financial crisis and mind-melting advertising and pressure on a thousand axes that didn't exist a century ago and are being ground into powder to enable a thin film of the truly rich to live like kings and to enable people in the computing class to live lives of only moderate precarity.

I dunno, it just doesn't seem all that hard to have have some really simple baseline humanity for the grist in the mill trying to find a moment of respite in something bad for them--ingrained literally decades before and in plenty of cases before they had the personal automony to decide for themselves.

Even if their BMI is over 25, heaven forfend.
It seems like consumers can't agree on why they are upset with these companies. I don't even think we can agree that a private company shouldn't be making decisions about what information should be allowed or removed.
Nothing stops you from behaving like a DNS server, that's true. But nobody is going to forklift in error-prone new DNS security infrastructure just so a couple hundred Linux nerds (hey, it me) can have a new toy to play with. What's not going to happen is for every phone in the world to run its own recursor, and that's what needs to happen for DNSSEC to work on the last mile.

There are lots of problems with DNSSEC, not just this one. But if you want to have a discussion that involves things DNSSEC might help on the Internet, it's best not to start with coffee shop attacks, which are the problem DNSSEC is literally least suited to solve --- in fact, practically designed not to solve.

The coffee shop problem --- or, more accurately, the wide-scale equivalent problem of ISPs behaving like malicious coffee shops --- is exactly the problem DoH addresses.
Of course we have to define "new". And consider that it was new when that was written. :^)

It shares syntax with Rebol, 95% of it anyway, but many other "new" languages share syntax with older languages. In any case, there are many new things about it, including being a from-scratch implementation.

- Native GUI system (non-native in development for those who want to go that way) driven by a GUI DSL, with full reactivity built in.
- Reactivity and ownership features are built into the core object datatype, so they can be used for more than GUIs.
- System level DSL. Red/System is a C level language, but is a dialect of Red. It compiles directly to machine code, not ASM or C. Cross compilation is built in as well. Again, no external tools needed.
- Android is out of date, but it also requires no JDK or other IDE.

So there are at least some things that make it new-ish.

obscenity is not, or has not been, considered speech under the terms of the free speech amendment.

What part of "shall make no law" isn't clear? It's true that obscenity is an exception to 1A, but that's something that some people made up after the fact, in direct contravention to the framers' stated intention.

The founders weren't short on ink. If they had wanted to equivocate, they were certainly free to do so. The fun really starts when some people decide that their (least) favorite amendments are subject to less (more) interpretation than others.
Each and every level of that hierarchy has a different owner! That's why the domain name system is a hierarchy and not a flat list, to enable this delegation capability.

In this case, it was something like:

dev.app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au -- Outsourcer (private company)
app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au -- Project Team in "org" managing the outsourcer
org.dept.nsw.gov.au -- A small government agency
dept.nsw.gov.au -- A huge super-department that manages the agency
nsw.gov.au -- A *different* super-department
gov.au -- The federal government
au -- The federal government

Each level is a separate set of name servers, DNS zones, and hosting platforms. Each group "owns" and manages DNS zones at their level. Not some arbitrary, random level above them based on some random text file some dude at Mozilla maintains for GUIs and cookies.

At the leaf level of that heirarchy I was trying to deploy Azure "ARM templates", which are supposed to be fully automated. My account permissions were scoped to the Resource Groups and existing resources associated with the non-production application environment. I could create DNS records, for example, but only under "dev.app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au".

Instead, the Azure platform insisted on trying to email "admin@nsw.gov.au", which is a totally unrelated department. They rightly would see this is a phishing attempt, and even if I were to call them on the phone their right move is to reject the request. Or even call the police. The best option here is to get people from my org's department to pass things up the chain, then across to the dept managing "nsw.gov.au", then down to some tech. This takes about a month.

What the Azure platform should have done is requested that I create a marker record such as a TXT record such as "_verify.dev.app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au" or whatever. This can be fully automated as a part of a scripted or templated deployment. Emails to random bureaucrats... not so much.

> It’s not that Google should be forced to carry stuff, they should be forced to not discriminate because they don’t like it. ISIS propaganda is illegal and should be taken down for that reason.

Bright-line rules like that worry me. This is, a lot of stuff is subjective -- the line between "legal" and "illegal" isn't so clear or immutable as one might naively guess. So if something more binary -- like host-or-remove -- is tied to such a fuzzy, dynamic determinant, it'd seem to give rise to all sorts of problems.

For example, say we forced big companies to host all legal content, but remove all illegal content, and then we want to know if something controversial is legal (e.g., taxes on Bitcoin back when it was newer). Then someone could post two images: one telling people to pay taxes on Bitcoin, and another telling people to not pay taxes on Bitcoin. Then the hosting-company would have to remove exactly one of those. By contrast, a hosting-company could normally just remove stuff they're unsure about because they're not required to host legal content, sparing them the burden of having to properly determine the legality of everything.

Basically, the problem is that we'd be stripping hosting-companies of their freedom to operate in safe-waters, forcing them into murky areas and then opening them up to punishment whenever they fail to correctly navigate those murky waters.

> wonder what the government's argument would be if bitcoin were tangible, say bottle caps

Imagine someone tells you "I am a drug dealer, I have bottle caps I got for selling drugs and would like to launder them through you. Could you help me?"

And you respond "Sure."

And she comes back saying "it's me again, the drug dealer. Here are my bottle caps. That I got for selling drugs. I need to launder them. Because I got them from selling drugs. Because I'm a drug dealer." [1]. And you give them money for their bottle caps.

What do you think will happen? Do you think "but your honor, bottle caps aren't money" will help?

The difference is that in Rust you can build safe (foolproof) abstractions on top unsafe code. OTOH, in C you can't write a library that returns a pointer and prevents users from misusing it (e.g. ensure they can't use it after your lib frees the data, or improperly share it between threads). In C, the risk of unsafety and misuse of APIs remains a problem for every downstream user.

For example, Rust's String type internally allocates, reallocates, and frees memory. It can have partially uninitialized buffer, and lots of other "unsafe" things.

But there's no way to cause UB when using safe Rust's String. You can't cause use-after-free. You can't cause a data race. You can't overflow the buffer. You can't even break its UTF-8 encoding. That's because String's public interface only exposes safe methods. The unsafe String internals were written and checked for correctness, and from then on they're safe to use for everyone else.

I genuinely wish I could give more mod points. This is already happening. If there is going to be a war, its outcome is far from a given ( and I personally worry, general computing will be on the losing side ).

The only thing that could stop is us. We are still creating the building blocks that make it all happen. It is not like we do not stand a chance, but it is hard not to feel pessimistic about the outcome since just about every communication from the power centers can be summed up with 'moar powah, moar'.
As a hobbyist, I’ve wondered if the need for umpteen epochs just leads many nets to memorize datasets, especially when the performance jumps a lot from one epoch to another without much change during batches. It’s kind of disconcerting for those of us who don’t have millions of source images to train with.
Aren't those numbers about your ability to focus on distance objects, though?

I could totally believe the someone might have "perfect" vision that doesn't require correction, but still have a slight astigmatism that impacts their vision under certain specific scenarios such as when viewing blue LEDs in low light.

If a single person, regardless of where they work, can produce a stock trading app that would actually compete against what a company is producing, why shouldn't they do it?

you can abstract IO and async'ness from the implementation, and model it as a pure function. Then build and inspect the state space. A detailed description was done here:

executive agencies should inspect and enforce, but not regulate. That is the legislature's job and they cannot felegate it beyond "implementation details". We have been too lenient with this so we get the FCC, FDA, EPA, ATF etc flipflpping on what amount to laws instead of details with every change of administration. That isn't how its supposed to work. Congress decides laws, no one else.

>ISPs themselves, (older) reddit, 4chan all serve as examples that the people you don't want to talk to can be mostly siloed off to some corner and you can have your own corner where you can have fun. Things only get problematic once you add amplification mechanisms like twitter and facebook feeds or reddit's frontpage.

This isn't true at all, and the reddit report following their ban wave is pretty clear about it; once areas that actively established a standard of violent or racist discourse as acceptable were banned, the volume of objectionable material across the site dropped.

4ch had a similar situation, where the culture on /b/, which was intentionally left as an explicitly unmoderated segment of the site, a silo, actively invaded other boards with violent, racist content.

It isn't that people sit in silos and do nothing otherwise - it's that the silos themselves cause people to believe their content is acceptable, then spread that shit everywhere.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it simpler to manage this sort of functionality by putting a counter in a table and using a CTE to increment it along with the insert? Something like

with u as (
update organizations
set last_external_id = last_external_id + 1
where id = 123
returning last_external_id
)
insert into incidents (organization_id, external_id, title)
select 123, last_external_id, 'Blah blah blah'
from u;

The risk here of course is running into lock contention around the organization table there's a high volume of incident creation for the same organization, but considering the context (incident management) that seems pretty low risk.
> The market has most certainly spoken

This laughable arrogance. The market has most certainly spoken but not in the way you and your microcosm think it has. The market doesn't give a fuck about privacy. They want convenience and want to pay as little as they for it. Privacy might seem to be on people's tongues at this moment and it will continue to be still, but only a core few will actually make decisions that inconvenience them in order to achieve it. Only a few million people are leaving services like WhatApp en-masse. 99% of their customers do not give a fuck. They aren't doing drug deals (well some are), they aren't dissidents, they aren't terrorists, they're just every day people going about their business with likely zero real repercussions other than finding it a bit creepy and continuing to scroll. There's probably more people leaving because things have gotten a bit boring and uncool than people taking a principled stand for privacy.

We are, at least currently, outliers. Do not forget that.

A downstream consumer might not need to use the keyword unsafe, but by calling such a function, they have de facto lost memory safety. It is a nice-to-have to know that only the unsafe blocks of code are able to violate memory safety, but once memory is corrupted, errors can manifest anywhere.

Rust in practice is likely not as safe an ecosystem as C#, because Rust users are more likely to use unsafe blocks for performance tricks. In my view, Rust should have a safe keyword to mark functions that are transitively not unsafe, much like the pure keyword in some languages marks transitive functional purity.
