Just do what smart people have been doing for years - stop using big tech. Stop using Google, Facebook, Apple, IBM, Microsoft. Buy a used computer and install a Free OS and just check out of the entire big tech ecosystem.

Otherwise you get what you deserve. And let’s all disabuse ourselves of the incorrect notion that it’s big tech alone which is ordering censorship. It’s our own governments, who use the many secret laws and intelligence agency relationships (all of big tech is basically In-Q-Tel) to get what they want.

Make it difficult for them. Don’t play nice. Dissent. Stop using PRISM platforms.
I am skeptical of arguments based on MAUs. Just because someone opened up Facebook a few times in the month doesn't mean FB is an important part of their life. People point to these big numbers as if they represent an exhaustive measurement of the internet rather than a minuscule fraction of how the typical individual spends their time online.
Yes, censorship is bad, but which is worse: admitting a little bit of censorship, or Nazis? Because uh, right now, we have Nazis.

In Germany, if you express Nazi views you will be arrested and thrown in prison. Germany is, according to many metrics, freer than the USA. Perhaps because of its laws that put Nazis in prison.
Not quite clear from your comment, it stopped working even when you switched it back to your old phone? Otherwise, it just sounds like your phone didn't work because it was incompatible, not because your account was banned.
Bookmarks are like a bin things get thrown into and completely forgotten about. I open a bookmark maybe once a week, and then it's usually for something like accessing the wifi router, or a bookmarklet for adapting a web site.

Tabs are like a TODO list. If something needs to have attention paid to it, and then dismissed, I open a tab for it.

(Of course, I use Firefox & Tree Style Tabs. I find Chrome almost unusable due to its tabbing idiom.)
I don't understand your first two rebuttals. I didn't want to keep talking about the fact that Telegram is not secure by default (there are plenty of other comments that go into this); I understand this, thank you.

It doesn't have anything to do with the competition being unable to provide a fast _native client_ that I can use. I dislike web based apps, and I refuse to use them whenever a native alternative is available.

> It's fast because it's insecure. Would they deploy end-to-end encryption for their groups, it would be as slow as the competition.

Doubtful - it would increase the amount of compute required on their side, sure, but if done properly it will have close to 0 impact on the end users in terms of latency.

> Mark Zuckerberg of Russia who will take zero responsibility if his servers are hacked.

As opposed to _x_ from country _y_ that WILL take responsibility if their servers are hacked? Please.

I will continue to talk about what I like about the user interface and what it does better than the competition because I want to.
> Right now we are missing one of our best chances to end the COVID pandemic -- widespread vaccination -- because too many people are spreading lies about the vaccine on social media.

That's mostly a trust issue. If you silence their concerns you're just going to confirm that it's a grand conspiracy theory. You have to fight misinformation with the truth, with dialog, not with censorship.
A little off topic, but wouldn't an easier fix for some of the addiction and misinformation bubbles be to legislate, by law, that all "feed apps" always show things newest to oldest and require users to consciously click, everytime, to show "top" or "hot". This would help a lot to fix the "zombie feed scrolling" in my opinion and prevent engagement algorithms from only showing polarizing content.
Nope. Not a singe one since I've got my 11.
I personally would rather see disciplinary action akin to what's done in the military. Not that that isn't without its issues, but the machinery that makes it work is larger and more independent from the people being disciplined than what you get at the state and local law enforcement level.
- Car stuff has to be certified in order to be road legal (in Europe, ECE marked)

- Car stuff has to deal with a way wider temperature range than normal consumer stuff (-40 to +125 °C). That is the thing that makes silicon so expensive.

- Car stuff has to deal with vibrations and mechanical stress, meaning more expensive PCBs, less options for solder (remember the infamous NVIDIA solder issue of ~2010?) and connectors

- Car voltage regulation is a hot mess, at least for ICE vehicles - IIRC during engine start, voltages can drop to something like 6-ish volts and after that (or during battery disconnects/other load dumps) into 120-ish volts, and the voltage has an awful lot of ripple because usual generators are AC that's driven through a diode rectifier, with the battery acting as stabilizer.

- Most stuff in cars requires hours of work to replace it - Tesla were to my knowledge the first ones who did software updates outside of shop visits at all.
The way I see it, the problem is that the "any number of commercially available arms" - the models that are beyond absolute toys and might be waldoed to do work humans do today - are staggeringly expensive compared to the humans they might replace. The cheap arms are ... toys, they can do a nifty demo, but they are really shit for doing any actual work, and while there are also good arms available, they're so expensive that they're tricky to afford even for experimental use

But the expense of such is a product of the lack of demand for them. Cars (again) are produced with engines now having astoundingly good accuracy.

Of course, an accurate arm is going to always be expensive than a simple arm but cars, chips, phones and whatnot show that with large scale processes and heavy capital investment, accuracy and cheapness are compatible. But today, with software incapable of doing useful things with those arms, the people and institutions with the capital to make accurate robot arms cheap, through economies of scale, are not going to mobilize that capital.

just as we got the computer revolution not when we developed capable computers, but only after we developed affordable capable computers

Some technological advances happen through a feedback loop of commodities getting sold and producers improving those commodities (cars are an example here). Other technologies require a leap where a significant clump of capital has to be devoted to creating an advanced device for which there's no sellable (and sometimes no operable) device. (the biggest example of technological leap was the Manhattan project). It might be the case that things will happen that way with robots. But I'd also say it's an open question.
I was agreeing with you. I was just pointing out further, even exactly the same plant can have different chemical constituents based on a variety of things without even taking variations between different strains into account.
Yes but it's not a joke, it's an inference.

I was actually wondering about this a while ago, one can netboot windows? i.e. no "local" storage, all accessed over the network? or does it depend on the hypervisor, i.e. the hypervisor access the storage over the network, but to windows, its a local disk?

Google is apparently going to be doing that with content on Drive. Not sure what they've said or not said about gMail but what's the difference, really?
It seems unfair to deprecate algorithms which "favor 'provocative' ideas that drive clicks" as a `distortion` of the marketplace of ideas.

It seems more that by driving clicks, the algorithms are `facilitating` the marketplace. People are signaling the ideas they prefer, idea suppliers are producing more of such ideas, and the people get these ideas at ever-lower prices.

How is that in any way a distortion of an ideal marketplace?

Extrapolated what? I am taking what the CDC is saying here as truth, at which point it seems almost impossible that 99.5% of people would know correctly if they have toxoplasma... it would seem like your accuracy on guessing that should be extremely low. (FWIW, I am guessing that you somehow failed to read the context of the conversation and are saying the CDC tested a sample of the population and extrapolated the number of people who have it... "duh".)
The loss of 3G is going to be an unmitigated disaster it seems. Might even be appropriate for the FCC to step in and force them to keep it up.

A lesser loss is that 3G often works in a big crowd where LTE is overloaded. Maybe that'll at least change to 5G vs LTE over time.
After all the news of Wikileaks, Black Lives Matter, and Church commission revelations (among many others), I really wonder why the biggest terrorist organizations in the world have not been dismantled: police, intelligence agencies, military...

The most likely thing to break on a computer is the fan itself. Apple has revised the display hinge and the keys have been redesigned. I don't know of any reports of the Speakers breaking or a Taptic Engine (other than people using Bootcamp on Intel MacBook Pros but that isn't an option anymore) but since there is no long term data on all of those components the only thing that I would question would be the redesigned hinge and the keyboard.

That argument falls on its face as soon as you check most other illness. What if you're sick because you don't work out, eat like shit, etc? If you start discriminating on what people did/do to prevent illness when treating them you'll never stop and are bound to have biased judgment.

Do meta analyses not control for the influence of outlier studies?

Could I just make up a phony result with 100000000x alleged effect and drown out all other studies in every meta analysis?
The temperature of the laptop is an accurate enough replacement for fan noise (if you use it normally, not in clamshell mode). I notice that I've become far more sensitive to subtle temperature changes in my M1 than I used to be in prior fan-cooled laptops. Probably because the fan tends to come on before the machine heats up to the touch, so temperature was a weak, secondary cue.
Perhaps you’re right and I was overly harsh or critical of him personally. All I am trying to say, crudely put, is that it seems to me that the author has started from his prior positions and then constructed an argument that reinforces them. That’s fine by me (if he is honest about it), but I hope you can see it is hard to stomach if you don’t agree or can’t see the proof of those prior positions. Specious = “…plausible but false; based on pretense; deceptively pleasing: ‘His incorrect conclusion arose from specious reasoning.’”. For example, a statement like:
“…an analysis that simply fails to capture what Aquinas is talking about is hardly rigorous…” (sorry taking that out of context) seems bizarre to me when I consider (the little I know of) the history of philosophical thought since Aquinas… I apologize if I have offended you or the author- that was not my intention - perhaps I am merely showing my ignorance…

>The features is has are NOT possible with e2e.

Which feature?

>clearly explained in their FAQ why they made it.

They absolutely did not.

>How come no other messenger simply copies telegrams feature but with e2e?

Which feature isn't being copied? Signal just implemented effin stickers with end-to-end encryption.

>Also what exactly is the point of e2e chats if every user that joins gets a key to decrypt the whole chat.

Firstly, new users in e.g. Signal groups don't get access to group message history. Secondly, overwhelming majority of Signal groups are not public. Your claim that E2EE in groups is useless assumes anyone can join any group. That's not the case, therefore your argument is completely baseless and thoughtless.

XML was introduced as a simplified SGML subset to base new versions of HTML (XHTML) and other web vocabularies (SVG, MathML) on, but that failed and HTML5 still continues to use tag inference, shortforms, and other SGML features that didn't make it into XML. It wasn't conceived as a payload format for web services.
Thanks for that, anything in particular by Lem that you recommend getting started with?

I find we get very little exposure to Russian / slavic authors in North America, and when I do occasionally get to read one (including the classics but also some paperbacks) I suspect how much we must be missing by not having more of them readily available and marketed.

>While Facebook was growing on the Web, Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, and the world was revolutionized by smartphones after that. Zuckerberg saw the mobile megatrend before many others did, and as early as 2009 there was a Facebook mobile app with explosive growth.

That's not true; Zuckerberg spent a lot of time and resources pursuing HTML5 Facebook app which was meant for all smartphone devices. When he realized HTML5 web app it's not going to work [0] Instagram already emerged and started growing rapidly. That's when he figured out he needs to make native mobile Facebook app and purchase Instagram in order to gain foot in mobile space and in order to eliminate possible competition in social photo industry.

Good point, but do you think it's beneficial to humanity, research and education, and political critique that newspaper archives are locked down behind subscription?

Your example that Republicans are the big tent party doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. All those groups venn together a lot. Tell me how well LGBT, Muslim, Jew, Union blue collar, Black, Hispanic, costal elite, youth, and big tech get along if you lock them in a room together if all you have is “at least we aren’t Republicans!”.

From Digital Feudalism to a Free Market on the Web
There is no ideal marketplace of ideas.

It takes years to fully develop an understanding of any particular ideology. How are you supposed to judge which one is better at interpreting the world on such a short term system?

There is simply too much friction in the ideological marketplace for it to approximate even loosely an ideal market.

This is a very interesting anecdote considering the m1 IPad Pro is supposed to have one of the best screens available on any device that form factor, the same XDR display technology as their $5000+ monsters.

I have looked at them in person and have debating buying one, but Next time I’m at an Apple Store I’ll want to see if I can replicate what you’re seeing.

You might be experiencing the mini-LED effect where the back lighting is regionalized, which isn’t ghosting but can be noticeable.

If I stole just $0.50 from every american, the typical marginal value of their contribution is tiny, but I still stole nearly $200M. Maybe none of those people will raise much of a stink because it's just $0.50, but it's just as bad.

Practically, it's bad in that I never got the chance dictate how they use my code. My GPL code has very little
marginal value to my users, but I got to dictate that their work that uses it is also GPL (or they can pay me for a different license). I want that choice when it comes to my work being used as ML training data.
This is a different context, different targeted group, different use case, than what we've seen with global NSA monitoring. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Edit: the parent commenter does not have a miniLED iPad.

If you have the 12.9” M1 iPad, the ghosting is likely due to the new miniLED backlight which was introduced with that model.

This backlight is not static, but tracks to content in order to increase effective contrast (similar to FALD backlights on higher end LCD TVs). If the backlight does not track the LCD content fast enough, there can be ghosting.

In addition, since the LEDs are large compared to pixels, you can sometimes see haloing, particularly in small bits of white on a black background.

Overall, while the display is great for video, especially HDR video, it has some problems with UI and (white on black) text.

>For good reason we don’t accept people yelling “fire” in a movie theater.

This meme persists, because it sounds nice, but the phrase is from a Supreme Court case where they ruled you can't distribute anti-WWI-draft flyers. Not exactly the precedent to be invoked, here. It was overturned (in part) to define that criminal speech under the first amendment is only speech that is determined to incite imminent lawless activity.
