"In each case, these people – good people, normal people without political power – were persecuted because their viewpoints were, in one way or another, perceived as a threat to the established order"

That's true, but the investigation is specifically about criminal actions, not persecution for beliefs.

And if I am reading the subpoena correctly, they're basically looking for data on moderation activity and policies. That would seem be a purely corporate function and not related to actual user postings or any attempt at user identification. Gab claims they are very responsive to government requests related to criminal activity or foreign influence campaigns and that seems to be all they are investigating with this request. If they want to see what users are talking about, they can go in the front door like everyone else. And if they identify criminal activity, they will issue subpoenas or warrants. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Patriarchal culture is so deep into their history but not to the point where you ban non-muscular men. Chinese regime recently considered the pop culture CIA attempt to make Chinese men less masculine.
These are crazy high quality it makes it reallyy questionable. I just looked up photos from 1900 on getty images and there's a graininess to them and a distinct quality to them. But I'm no photograph expert.

I've only just heard of this, but it looks like it's an attempt by lots of big European banks to beat Mastercard & Visa at their own game!

It says they're building on EU Instant Payments, which has been standard for a while, and for supported banks (a good percentage now, and presumably all 30 banks listed here) means bank-to-bank euro transfers are free & take less than 10 seconds, 24/7. See https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/integration/retail/instant_pa....

Sounds like they're planning to produce card infrastructure on top of that, so with an EPI-supporting merchant and an EPI consumer card, a card transaction is implemented directly as an instant bank transfer, with no traditional credit card companies involved.

Oh and they're proposing to support p2p in the same way too. I guess that's more like competing with Revolut et al, since you can't really sign up to process Visa/Mastercard as an individual today anyway.

Does anybody know any more background on this? I have no idea about the seriousness of the proposal or anything at all, but it sounds like a big deal if they can pull that off.

This is disappointing. I got the email from them the other day saying they were going to stop interrupting programming to ask for donations, but I guess upon further discussion with their lawyers, they decided that wasn't enough to cover them?

I wish we had an FCC that was more aggressively on the side of the consumer, that would get much more than just the money they currently get from the broadcasters in exchange for the valuable spectrum that they're permitted to occupy.

In America we too have EVs that are 5% cost of Tesla, we call them Golf-Carts.

Tesla is one of the minimalist cars, any one calling it 'Luxury' has not either sit in a Tesla or sit in a Luxury car.

India today, may not afford the Teslas, but in a decade or so, as one of the few economies projected to grow at a decent clip. Tesla will be at least driven by the rich.
Can you name those competitors? For example a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 lasts a day or a bit more. Nowhere near the 90 hours mark.
No, he's asserting that a normal attentive driver won't crash into a stationary emergency vehicle under remotely normal weather/road conditions. And, personally, I'm not going to trust a system that isn't as good as a normal attentive driver.
People like to see themselves as something other than they really are. If your grandparents were indigenous Australians, would they see it in the same way?

Unless you are very explicit, yes, derivative works aren't covered by normal IP licensing and case law was established very long ago testing interpretations. I don't have Lexis unfortunately to pull the dockets, but towards the end of this year I will, and I am going to try and provide as much summary research as possible via a blog - because silicon IP is entering our lives in a big way soon as architectural complexity demands standard latency mitigating by implementing software in silicon (Oracle is claiming that expression as a common law trademark since a couple of SPARC generations, so even our normal terms of ref are going to be fraught.)
I disagree profoundly. Not from the US, but I think this isn't the only topic where the ACLU has been slacking off lately.

Not even going into the low quality of the argument where terms like "equity concerns" apparently don't even need a definition.

Bodily autonomy is very important for civil liberties and invasions cannot be justified with the safety of others. Those need to take precautions if they need additional protection.

Again, Covid is serious, but not that deadly that this discussion is of much merrit.

edit: I am vaccinated, the fact that allegedly only unvaccinated argue against mandatory vaccination is completely dishonest, it is a majority position even.

There is also the issue that natural immunity seems to be vastly superior to vaccination. What about these cases? It is blatantly unethical to force unnecessary medical procedures. Their argument is completely random.
Did I say you should take that away?

No, I said it’s not wrong to lose faith in the reasoning capacity of the common individual. Right now we have people hospitalising themselves eating horse pharmaceuticals, all the while congratulating themselves on how smart they are for doing their own “research”. It’s pitiable.
Ok this trillion number you are talking about makes me feel better about this article.
Data needs vary from company to company or application. Several things that come to mind are speed, accuracy, scalability, potability, and specific use cases (i.e. medical, GIS...).

As data needs will vary so does skills and knowledge. Best to figure out what sort of field of data that interests you and learn towards the environments that are used in it.
Right, I agree. My question is “what application is constrained by interpreter overhead.” It should be faster than milliseconds for almost any code, I would think.

I am agreeing with you, I don’t understand your response.
Inflation is part of the problem here. It appears to be getting worse. Soon enough, inflation will make strangers of us all...

Does it have C like speed though? Have no idea. I guess I just don't care enough about performance for Rust to be a thing for me.
I get this argument in abstract, but I don't think it's fair when we're talking about obviously unsafe behaviour that literally no human driver should ever do, except in cases of like, extreme medical distress.

It's about the unknown unknowns. If you have Teslas slamming into stopped emergency vehicles with their lights on, and you don't know why, what else don't we know about their ability to perceive and reason about the world that they're navigating in?
Wikipedia has a page on the Timeline of the far future[1]. It lists a ton of physical and cosmological things that are predicted to happen based on our current understanding of physics. A really fun read that always takes me down a rabbit's hole of phenomena wikipedia pages.

I'm curious why you associate these things with "hard right"?

Would you consider China to be "hard right?"

Silencing dissenting viewpoints seems to be very much a modern "left" thing to me.

Libby and the bizarre false scarcity model of e-book sharing is the kind of weird crap you end up when you try taking existing laws and paradigms and applying them to the digital landscape.

There is absolutely no reason that a kid should have to wait in a queue to borrow an e-book because the 3 "copies" they have are already in use. If it's about making sure authors are compensated appropriately, then we need to restructure licensing fees so that libraries are paying reasonable per-use licensing fees. But to pretend that there are only a few copies of this book we can borrow is asinine.
I didnt get a certain android phone because it didnt have a headphone jack. Cut to a year later and I have only used wired headphones when I forget to charge my bluetooth headhpones.

Pairing is annoying but its just the electronic version of unplugging the headphones from one device and plugging them into another.
Yeah, I got excited when I read "bluetooth proximity marketing" because I was hoping that with a few weekends I could start tricking stores into thinking that everyone I ever bump into just walked into the store with me.

However, google returns a bunch of results talking about the stores sending the customer data. And not the other way around. Also the customer needs a specific app.

It doesn't sound like anyone is tracking anyone via bluetooth. At the very least, if they are, then "bluetooth proximity marketing" is the wrong keyword to search for.
On this time-scale, mountains erode and continents shift in an eye-blink. The end of all is effectively an infinite time in the future - so have fun!
For instance:

> It is not our place, nor should it be the place of any technology company, to interfere with Americans’ civil rights and sit in judgment over their lawful expression.

To me suggesting a private company "interferes with Americans civil rights" by deciding what content to publish, suggests that private companies have some kind of first ammendment obligation.

But I'm not really interested in arguing about it.
To amplify your statement, it seems to be borderline impossible to 1. develop a world-class interpreter for over a decade and then 2. retrofit multithreading onto it.

I don't have an example of that I'd call successful, where here I'm defining "success" as "the entire community casually uses it whenever it is useful and there are no special warnings to be given about the threading support". There are some implementations, but last I knew they all tend to be sort of dangerous and things the community will warn you away from, and some languages just don't have them.

I would be intrigued to see someone try to create a modern dynamically-typed language or interpreter written from the beginning to be threadable, but it seems to me the energy in the dynamic typing community may not be there any more to sustain it. While it's not "dying", I suspect that as static typing is getting better the dynamic typing community is, shall we say, losing the updraft it has ridden these last 30 years. It's not like it's going to crash straight to the ground or anything, but I don't know that there's a whole lot of people chomping at the bit to write such a thing rather than write something static and useful. Especially when you deal with the fact that even the fastest dynamic languages are still ~10x slower than compiled languages on general tasks now, and it's hard to justify going crazy with threading when a single thread in a modern statically-typed language, which may only be modestly harder to write now than with a dynamic language (if that), starts out with such a performance advantage, one that only continues to multiple if the static language also starts spawning threads.
There are plenty of situations where I would prefer this over cash if I trust the government to have my interests in mind (something true of some Europeans). Not carrying easily stolen cash, having it tracked so you can dispute things in court, just being more convenient the way NFC payments are. And the government gets to clamp down (or better, simply tax) on dark and grey markets.

But then I also want to have a stash of cash "just in case" and be able to buy substances and tools that might be illegal... So YMMV. I guess, ideologically, I prefer to lobby the government to make something legal, not to ensure there are loopholes so that I can get away with illegal stuff I want to do. But I understand that is not always possible.
If you're only amused by this you're failing to see that when Tesla are less supply constrained (with the opening of two further factories this year) that they will go on to sell significantly more.
We were supposed to be able to afford that since atleast a decade.

This is an intriguing post and I appreciate all the effort you put into it.

I'd like to go a step further about your talk of elections and accountability. So many districts, I think, are essentially predetermined by the demographics and drawn boundaries of the district. To eject a Democrat from a deep blue seat, let alone a 60-40 seat is nigh impossible (as with a Republican in a rural red district). In fact, it also seems like the seats that do flip tend to flip as a result of new arrivals moving in with different beliefs. The electoral process seems largely disconnected from popular support and approval.
But you then ignore the problems created by stripping the anonymity away, especially in the political sphere. Just like multitudes of writers/actors/directors had to either hide their political beliefs or just not get hired due to their political beliefs in Hollywood (though, ironically, that is happening now, along different axes.)

Go is not a business oriented language. To be a business language, you need a decimal data type built in (or in the standard library), that doesn't make you go through hoops like this:

total = new Decimal(principal);
total.mul(1.0 + interest);

In other words decimals support the same operations as the rest of the language's numeric tower. Go doesn't have this.

Go is a networking language. It's good for writing microservices and network protocol clients and servers. That's about it.
I'm curious what the data requirement will be. Is it just the segmented map? Is it the actual model plus all inputs for n-seconds leading up to the crash? Is it all training data that meets some threshold of similarity to the incident?

It would be nice if the investigation of these incidents resulted in an open standard for analysis and quality control of self-driving systems.

Sure, but the recent turn to Populism, is that strange beast of elites pointing out the evils of some other class of elites to garner support.

Consider this: "What would MY government need to do, for ME to decide "This is too much" and take action?

Of course, different people will have different answers, it's a cultural thing. The line often runs close to the physical integrity of themselves or their children.

But knowing the limits of your loyalty to your government (even if those limits seem ridiculously distant now) let's you avoid the fate of "boiling frog". Things tend to go bad slowly for a while – with copious foreshadowing – then all at once.

Examples of people who were "genuinely surprised, SURELY this cannot be happening to this civilized nation" (all the way to the camp/gulag train) are trite in their horrific innumerability.

FTC should have obliterated Tesla from orbit the minute they called cruise control "Autopilot", and the Tesla beta opt-in fund "Full Self Driving", and any time Elon made any claim that the vehicle was going to be self-driving by X date.

This would have saved several lives, untold injuries, and millions in damages. It would have been disastrous for Elon's wealth and the market cap of Tesla, but then we could at least pretend there's still rule of law in the US.

Thankfully other jurisdictions have actual regulators and are telling Tesla that you cannot use fraudulent names, but who knows how much longer it will take for the US to join the rest of the world in this.

Bose 700 NC have a horrid app, terrible mic, frustrating noise cancelling (NC), and all the tracking too. The Sony equivalent experienced the same issues.

A major difference between Smalltalk and Ruby is that in Smalltalk, the live system knows its own source code, and you program through the live running system.
