Oh, dang! It seems we're still spewing out tons of CO2 on a global scale. Well, at least the temperatures are stable. That's good to know.

Oh, wait!

(https://www.kobeemanatee.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Mana... I prefer this one. I think it makes a better point.)

What?! We're already at ~1°C over the statistically high average of the 20th century? That's not good news. I thought we wanted to keep it below 1.5°C to, you know keep part of the planet habitable? Well, at least the birds and the bees are still alright.

What? We've lost about 60% of insect biomass in only the last 30 years and about 75% of bird biomass? That cannot be good. Well at least we still have enough foodstuff to eat. There's no need to worry while we have enough to -

Dang!

If you really are of the opinion that there's no problem; I'm very impressed by your continued power of self-deception. I often wonder how people do that. And honestly; I wish I could do the same. But once you left the cave, there's no going back, you know. I guess that's why many are afraid to do so.

Your snark is unhelpful. Here's some things philosophy undergrads should know from category theory:

* Size issues. All the problems in set theory are back with a vengeance. Exploring size issues makes it clear that Russell's Paradox is not a fluke.

* Topoi. A topos is a generalization of the past few millennia of maths, and their existence shows that maths is a multiverse rather than a single collection of rules. Some topoi witness refutations of LEM, making them valuable counterexamples.

* Yoneda's lemma. The core of pragmatic philosophy is that objects are not separable from their effects in the world. Yoneda's result takes that to its logical conclusion: An object is equivalent to all of its effects under transformation.

* Equivalence of categories. Rel is equivalent to its dual (Rel is daggered) and so is Hilb; the category Set* of sets with an extra point is equivalent to the category Pfn of sets and partial functions. These show us that parts of maths are self-symmetric beyond group theory.

In addition, why shouldn't adjunctions be covered at some point? Adjunctions can't be studied without category theory (look up "Galois connections" for a history) and they're hard to avoid once we're talking about enough categories of note. I bet that the adjointness of syntax and semantics is very relevant to philosophy of language.
I was wondering what was happening. I figured uBlock was blocking some shenanigans
Do those people define those ideas as authoritarian, or does that seem to fit more based on your definition?

None. For organizing a violent insurrection? Several.
There is enough information here though.

These are situations where failure is not suppose to happen when the driver is paying attention. Given that the auto-pilot is always paying attention when operational, this becomes an unacceptable failure mode because it failed in the most rudimentary way - failure to perceive stationary obstacles and a display of complete lack of situational awareness.

For emergency responders on highways, there are means to reduce the risk of additional collisions by increasing visibility to oncoming drivers (markers, lights, etc.). If the auto-pilot is not able to perceive these even when paying attention, we do have a problem.

>When in our history...

Before the masses were corralled into walled gardens. If a free and open Internet was a threat to gatekeepers, walled gardens are the solution. You can say anything you want on their platforms, as long as it adheres to the party's content guidelines.

The gate-kept illusion of freedom is arguably more toxic, because it normalizes the curated garden of propagandized views.

Yes, you have more options than broadcast TV, newspapers and radio. Especially if you espouse mainstream views which one would easily find on those sources.

There was a time before eternal September, let's call it August. Google searches were populated by independently run forums and websites. Tech giants were not bent on imposing their political will. Individuals were getting the word out about Hans Blix on independent sites. One can only wonder how Twitter or Facebook's fact checkers would handle that today.

"Experts confirm Saddam has WMD"

In the august days before fact checkers and Facebook, users could still obtain free hosting. They could even post on forums without learning the basics of HTML. That's when the history of the Internet turned.
Unless, apparently, you were a car manufacturer that isn't Tesla.
I think they have a right to ask for specific information on specific individuals via court order but not a dragnet.

I am pretty sure they are real, but the dates given are kind of unverifiable, by looking. The Bedouin still pretty much look like that, today, but you might see the occasional watch, and probably more shoes, these days.
I've noticed that as well, that senior Ruby/Rails people will become very valuable in the coming years, which is good to hear. However, 10+ years into the future is the real scary part. Will jobs dry up so much so (especially due to the accelerating pace of tech turnover) that Ruby/Rails will essentially become the FORTRAN of the times? Who knows.
Couldnt Apple just say apple pay is required but other processors are allowed? Think you're being a bit obtuse here.
It may be like the recent hacking bill. They talked about it months earlier and 'shelved' it. They let you forgot about it then ram it through parliament in one day. Most people may not even know when it happens
Good luck posting your doubts about Covid vaccination results on Twitter, FB or YT. You will not even notice how fast your wrongthinking will be detected and removed.
Maybe not WhatsApp's security, but privacy invasive business models are definitely a privacy concern for their users.

Facebook should have done the right thing from the start. The conditons were clear.

Now users also have to spend tax money on litigation. Fines need to be harder.

A fantastic resource on the history of philosophy, not linked to here, is Peter Adamson's "History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps", both the books and the series of podcasts: https://historyofphilosophy.net/.

Apart from very good coverage of the usual suspects, here you have much, much more Africana and Islamic philosophy (for example) than the average Western academic philosopher has been exposed to.
Let's take a closer look at the photos with annotations.

"American colony, Jerusalem"

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63S7WQRnp8k/XqHIqQjNkZI/AAAAAAAAW...

The "American colony, Jerusalem" only existed from 1881-late 1940s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Colony,_Jerusalem

60. Bedouin mother and baby

https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FlxLhh3aAJI/XqHInAmrTcI/AAAAAAAAW...

From the side of the picture, it looks like it's on film. Was it possible to have a film camera in 1889? Yes, barely.

"The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_camera#Early_ph...

109. Bedouin sweethearts

https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gdxkp8n0lnc/XqHI34__C_I/AAAAAAAAW...

The number 109 (sweethearts) is much higher than 60 (mother and child). That implies that there were many more worse photos that were not selected for uploading.

Far more recently, in 1937, my grandpa went on a cycling trip through Germany, Austria, and Italy, then back to the UK.
My mum made a photo website about it, including links to some hotels that are still operating.

http://drmarionb.free.fr/1937CyclingTour/

He had been inspired by another book, Blue Skies and Good Companions. There's an archive of that available:

https://wdc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/cycling/id...

My mum then wrote an article about it for the CTC cycling magazine in the UK, and it was published in the Feb/Mar 2021 issue, page 47-49. (paywall, free registration required to view)

I’ll take that and raise you “As pretty as an airport.” (Taking out some spoilers, as some people probably haven’t read his Dirk Gently novels).
I think you misunderstood what you quoted here, because Madison in no way suggests that invididual newspapers should be forced to print opinions they disagree with in the interest of Liberty

Instead he argues that there should be a lot of newspapers, to accurately capture the growing audiences and government should not interfere in the growth of private speech

It was considered virulently anti-Liberty to use government to force a newspaper to print an opinion they disagree with, and that concept remains true today.

If Facebook does not wish to publish violent speech, they don't have to, just like the New York Times editors can choose, just like Fox News can choose, just like every "free speech" newspaper, news channel, or network can choose.

This is the essence of free speech, that the government cannot unfairly control your network and tell you that you can no longer choose what to publish.

It's sad that people are this against Liberty that they demand government forcibly control networks to allow whatever speech the ruling party currently feels is "free".
> we believe – as Justice Brandeis did – that “sunlight is the best disinfectant, electric light the most efficient policeman.”

Not true. There is no evidence that electric light helps deter crime (and of course sunlight is not a disinfectant either).

That matches what I have seen with Mainline Linux devs. We all have our preferences, but we all have common goals in mind and want to help each other.

WfH for me includes pushing content and containers about - 115 up helps a LOT there.

MSFS is actually a bad example, the download servers are wacky at least in the UK - you won't sustain more than about 250mbit. But other titles from services like Steam download in a lot less time - I can max out my line quite happily from Steam - and do with alarming frequency!
Do you happen to have examples of those kind of demands?
Colourful badge is for those with enough karma to set their header colour. If you hover over the badge title, it describes the badge itself. Many people have mentioned that you can't hover over text on mobile so you might need to visit the site on a desktop to find out the rest.

You might (might) have a point on an article about somebody complaining about having their Facebook or Twitter account suspended for being too right-leaning, but this article is literally about the U.S. government trying to use judicial pressure to shut down a social media platform.

> It’s also 12 than any normal attentive human has gotten into

Are you comparing a fleet of cars driving millions of miles to the performance of one ostensibly good driver? Ok, I guess we’ll need perfect systems, see you after the heat death of the universe.
I think it depends on whether your point of view is pre- or post-Internet. If you take the longer view, it is an incontrovertible fact that there are more forums for discussion than in the pre-Internet age; and nobody back then was complaining that there was a lack of fora for their views.

And even if you take the shorter view, there are still more places for people to discuss them. Facebook and Twitter didn’t even exist until the mid-2000s and the Internet has been readily accessible since the late 1990s.
I can't find the specific comment now, but on previous autonomous driving discussions here, it's been asserted that Tesla (and many other systems) simply can't reliably detect stationary objects at speed. If the systems actually did a naive, "that looks like a stationary object, I'm going to avoid it" they'd barely be able to move in a highway setting.
Is this a serious comment?

Of course there's consequences for your speech. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence.

If you're an outspoken Nazi, you have the right to your speech, but I have the right to not interact with you, and companies have the right not to serve you. Those are consequences of your speech.

Freedom of speech means you won't be arrested for it, not that everyone needs to listen.

Crystal lang does a bunch of great thing but the poor support on Windows (having to install some Linux subsystem to compile stuff) is a non starter for many companies.

I personnally never liked Python's syntax, or OOP, it feels tacked on. However Python's ecosystem is just too huge to be ignored.
It's not that, it's more that there are words in general that TikTok does not tolerate, and there's no definitive list of those words. Some of them: gun, pissed, penis, vagina, any swear word, etc.

So since there's no definitive list and you can't make one because the content is not outright deleted (algorithm just ignores it), you end up in a situation where TikTok users self-censor just in case.

This is similar to what China does internally, but the list is definitely different.
One use-case that the platform is being used for is for B2B SaaS businesses to offer their analytics through Chartbrew. So it is possible and there are people already using it like this.

Or if you're wondering if you can offer the analytics platform by itself as a SaaS, I built a SaaS layer on top of it here: https://chartbrew.com
Every well-educated person (i.e. desirable for immigration) I've ever met has found the Scandinavian countries attractive as a target. The social safety nets are very good, public infrastructure is great and child support is also uniquely present (e.g. free schooling). These are things that come with high taxes and if someone passed even high school they understand this.

An important aside is that I don't really associate with the FAANG crowd, because I don't agree with them on ideological grounds and because I don't work for such a company. Perhaps among those people taxes seem more evil, especially given the fact that they are okay with working for companies that are not exactly doing good for society.

While I don't think the original claim is in any way obvious, and you may well be right overall, you're also making a huge mistake in your look at history - newspapers are not and have never been "public forums" (except to the minor extent that they occasionally published letters to the editor).

Instead, historic public forums were mostly related to in-person meetings - town halls, clubs, pubs etc. These have not been outlawed nor disappeared entirely, but they are almost entirely atrophied. Instead, public discussion has moved almost entirely online. This has created a complex situation, as online forums are almost always private property, unlike the forums of the past.

This situation is creating an unprecedented situation for free speech - as private mega corporations, not bound by the first ammendment, are now in control of a huge percentage of public communication. It seems pretty clear that Facebook or YouTube can't just be handled as publishers, nor as network operators, nor as broadcasters, nor as any other traditional form of communication. We will need to invent a new concept of how such communication should be regulated and moderated.

On the other hand, it's also true there is more public communication, and with higher reach, then probably ever before in history.
Since the article doesn't say, is there an economic reason why EV adoption is so high? More aggressive subsidies for new purchases? Or solely driven by expensive gasoline?
Could it be the ageing population? People's political views become more right-wing as they age.
Just wanted to comment that I love your take on this. Especially that "the Collatz conjecture is essentially the simplest hard problem, by the defensible (albeit not unique) standard of "what it takes to understand the behavior of a Turing machine"".
I'm not sure it's an "issue". People just think differently. I'm Canadian and I'm probably way more comfortable with what would be described as authoritarian ideologies than you folks. I'm relatively well educated, I'm not ignorant to history etc etc - but there are aspects of authoritarian ideas that I don't outright object to, central planning per the CPC, as one example. I have a lot of reasons, and I've thought about this deeply over years, I don't particularly care to write an essay on my views for this thread as it's not really the point, the point is people can just think differently, have a different perspective on these things without a direct reason.
If that's your perspective then you haven't been keeping up with the news
>but I feel sometimes the historical perspective is a bit lost.

How is the "historical perspective" relevant here? Are you just arguing "we actually have it pretty good right now compared to the past so we shouldn't feel so bad about freedom of speech slipping"?
Don’t be fooled by allowing a link here or a link there. Stores are currently benefiting most from people not seeing the fee structure, and they’ve probably figured out that most people won’t really follow links either.

What would work is being forced to actually show things to users, directly in their face, at the time of purchase. As long as a user has to follow a link first, there’s still a pretty good chance they just won’t bother.

Just imagine how app store sales would change if the stores were required to tell users what is actually going on (as you would see at any cash register or online web site shopping checkout page, by the way):

Your New App — $6.99
Apple Store Fee — $2.20
Taxes — $0.80
-----------------------
Total — $9.99

Wouldn’t seeing the above change how you view any number of app purchases, especially for recurring purchases?

What if, when playing games (which Apple makes, by far, the most money from), you saw the same breakdown, every time you did a consumable in-app purchase:

MyGame Gem Bag — $6.99
Apple Store Fee — $2.20
Taxes — $0.80
-----------------------
Total — $9.99

Wouldn’t this completely change the average person’s view into the store’s cut?

Until THIS is what purchasers actually see, any other “concessions” allowing “links” mean nothing.
I do love this. The ability to change base classes so easily is such a "With great power comes great responsibility" lol.

well for example there is no law against standing in a public square, be it physical or virtual, and screaming racial epithets. The government cannot forbid it, and within certain limitations (eg "disruption of the peace") they cannot stop someone from doing it with law or force. It is free and protected speech, albeit abhorrent.

However there is no law against our hypothetical racist being uninvited from the opening of an art gallery whose first exhibition is the work of african-american artists. It is a private organization who does not want to associate with someone.

Or to put it simply: it's OK to downvote someone. That's how communities work!
