This is precisely correct. As someone who was vaccine hesitant, I ended up getting the J&J but felt like a full 20 hours a week part time job to try to parse what was actually true.

Fauci, the CDC, the WHO; all of the communications from these institutions used the noble lie constantly, fudging numbers, re-casting things to fit their narrative. I already deeply mistrust the media apparatus, who also parrot this narrative.

Realizing that the vaccines are safe took a LONG time for me to come to. I do think I am very much in the minority of the vaccine hesitant category. Many of them dig not dig through all news sources from both sides like I have the perception I did (in truth, I looked at more on the right than the left).

But you have to understand that a huge swarth of the country do not trust ANY of the institutions. All of the officials are viewed as corrupt, manipulating liars.

I'm being censored on Reddit myself.

I'm not really sure why exactly. I suspect it has to do with having a NSFW tag on my account (that I didn't put there) that I'm afraid to turn off, because of the warning that's next to that button and it doesn't explain what "swearing" is exactly and if I turn it off and write "fuck" I might get banned.

My account provides a lot of help to other people, it's highly valued by the community, I have loads of karma, I've paid for quite a bit of server time by the rewards I've received.

But you can't search on my username, it won't show up (not even if you have NSFW visibility turned on).

I'm not about politics, or covid or any hate stuff. I'm just there to try and help people with depression, anxiety and other issues. And I'm being censored for some reason.

So whatever they're doing, it's guaranteed to overreach and it's counter productive and who knows how much damage it does to society as a whole.

It's just that no one knows the severity of the damage the censorship does.
This is so spot on. I have seen countless of times in forums how if someone voices concern about a vaccine they are immediately called "Trump supporter", even though they might not even be from the US. Especially in US though it seems that in people's minds there's just 2 types of people, one are allies and the other are enemies. Allies all have the exact same beliefs, and enemies exactly the opposite. Therefore if someone has a belief that doesn't agree with mine it means they must also hold all the other beliefs and must be of the enemy group. I think it's more than ridiculous. And you also can't hold a belief that's in between the other beliefs, this immediately means you are the enemy.
But you want Reddit to literally adopt 8chan's moderation policy, meaning that Reddit now will become the place that inspires mass shooters instead of 8chan (which by the way, is no longer a place that inspires mass shootings, since it was killed by Cloudfare after the last one, and replaced with the impotent and unpopular 8kun).
Your comment brings back long buried memories of the time that my ST mouse broke and I had to save up for a new one.

I think the "personal freedom vs collective responsibility" debate is largely indicative of our own short-sightedness as a species. In a society without laws, your personal freedom lasts only until your neighbour shivs you in the night. Laws are a collective negotiation of the extent to which we want to minimize short-term, high-visibility liberty in order to gain long-term, low-visibility liberty.

What saddens me about that business, is that the criticism against certain voting machine companies in the US is considered "anti-democratic conspiracy theories" while the same criticism against the very same companies in other countries is considered "pro-democratic".

The thing is, these companies are running the elections like a black box, Princeton University already has shown it is easy to hack Diebold machines for example, and we had very suspicious cases in other countries (for example voting machines in a state election in Brazil registered more votes than voters, and the amount of "invalid" votes, absentees and "blank" votes were all identical, when someone asked for a recount the response of the government was to say the machines must be trusted and fine the shit out of the candidate that complained, for "education purposes.")

> The benefits of both seatbelts and vaccines, not just to a single person but to everyone else around them, are proven and well-documented.

Well that's the physics and the immunology part of the science.

You still got to do the social science. If you fail that then all the progress done in the lab is moot.

The burden of the proof is there even more strongly for the social science. If the organization fails to obtain the desired behavior when the lab work proves that such behavior provides an advantage then that is an even worse failure from the organization. They should look at what they did wrong with their communication.
The loop filters in modern image/video compression systems don't know anything about dithering. If you want a pixel perfect dither like what you remember from the 80s, you're going to need way more bits to encode the image, because you need to encode those pixels as expensive residuals that can't be ignored, rather than obvious (to the decompresser) pixels that can be inferred from the decompressed pixels in neighboring regions.
I will only point out that it took Twitter years to ban Trump despite him violating their ToS almost on a daily basis. Your point about "alignment" applies to power in general. Be it political power, money or influence and following.

How is YouTube exploiting their market position? Last time I checked it cost literally 0$ to use their video platform. What do you think government should do?
IMO, if the government isn't using the extraordinary power's granted to them (search, seizure, arrests, fines, imprisonment, etc) against it's citizens strictly for the words they say or write, "free speech" hasn't been violated and it would be incorrect to use the term in that context.

I think even a government hosted forum could filter content without violating even the spirit of "free speech", and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't legally be considered a violation of the first amendment, even if that filtering reached blatant censorship levels.

Censorship, government or private, is a separate concern from freedom of speech, and using one to make arguments about the other doesn't make any sense to me.
> Depends what you consider the radicalization pipeline to be.

Platforms, by their nature, are mostly worried about what's happening on their platforms - when it's occurring elsewhere, it is no longer their problem. It is a mistake to think YouTube wants to bring an end to all misinformation everywhere - their focus starts and ends with misinformation on YouTube. Balkanization is the best option they can hope for, as long as it's not on YT.

I've never used Mosquitto, but I have done a fair amount with Verne.mq [1], and I have to say that MQTT is downright pleasant to use in a lot of cases. I've not done a ton with it in "real world" situations, but I have used it for multiple hackathons, and I'm always impressed how little of a headache it is to build a decent "live" application with almost no effort.

If your frontend web project calls for any kind of messaging, I definitely recommend looking into trying MQTT before you jump straight into WebSockets. There's a good chance MQTT does what you need, scales better, can communicate over WebSockets, and will make your life easier .

> wonder why we didn't have the modern, flat, solid color designs that are fashionable today back then.

I really, really, dislike the modern flat colour designs of today. They make it much harder for me to separate out what I care about, like context and information, because my eyesight isn't perfect.

Gradients made it so much easier for me to see the difference between a tab and the bar it's sitting in. A little strip of colour or some shadowing, to denote the active tab just disappears for me.
I'm sure there will be several people and organizations willing to step in and be a clearinghouse / middleman to "make it easy".

What free speech advocates ignore here is that even they generally draw a line somewhere. Death threats, defamation, pedophilia, sharing bomb making materials etc are usually accepted by everyone to not be acceptable.

'But those are different' is usually the argument here. But why though? Because they cause harm? Doesn't inciting racial hatred cause harm?

Once we stop arguing over the issue being black/white but instead discuss _where exactly_ we draw the line then I think we are finally having a far more honest discussion. Just because some speech is illegal and other speech isn't illegal shouldn't be the deciding factor on whether someone (or some company) needs to platform that view. That's then leaving it to governments to decide what is ok and what isn't, instead leave it to society to choose not to propogate hateful and distasteful messages.

I also find it frustrating that some armchair psychologists have decided that people like me with more nuanced views simply want to repress and censor things that we disagree with which is not what it's about at all.

This resonates with me so much. Yes, we absolutely need better ways to support FOSS. The companies I've worked with never contributed any funds to FOSS, and very rarely contributed the code back. It felt so unjust, I started working on (what I think might be) a decent solution for some FOSS projects — https://srv.io/open-source-developers. The MVP is up and running, not taking any payments yet, but feedback from developers has been nothing but positive. If you'll have a moment to check this out, please let me know what you think. :)

You choose Rails because you can build extremely fast with it (for a variety of reasons). The number one risk to a startup is not finding product market fit. Therefore, building fast is paramount. It doesn't matter how much load your product can handle if you never get the load in the first place.

I would absolutely recommend Rails for most startups whose central product is a web application.
OP's point was that Russia and China are objectively less free than America, but yet they are the centres for academic copyright infringement.

To suggest that China or Russia were in any way more free than America, would be intellectually dishonest and could only be explained someone acting as a shill.

I'm not from America and I am clear-eyed about its foibles, but being more free than either of the aforementioned countries is a pretty low bar to cross.

MagicLeap, Groupon, Nikola, WeWork, Uber..

A company doesn't have to have an exit for early investors to get out. You just need to find a sucker to buy into a round later than you.

How to do that, in the modern context, is pretty clear. Either do it through outright fraud (Theranos, Nikola, MagicLeap), extreme FOMO (MagicLeap), or raising so much that you crush competition despite comically bad fundamentals and never get to unit-profitability (Uber, others).

In both your original comment and in this followup, which makes the point explicit, I find it ironic that SL have addressed one of the key challenges of "spaceless" cyberspace ... by reinventing the concept of space. Which, as you say, "keeps everything from being in the same place".

That's not a criticism. There's a considerable degree of respect. There's some irony in that spacelessness is one of the purported advantages of the online world. It also makes me wonder what, if any, other options might exist, because effective tools for combatting abuse seem scarce, and those that do exist either brittle or capricious.
It's not a perfect circle. I fixed my vaccine induced long haul covid symptoms that tested negative with the horsey paste.

People don't care as much about removing the GIL in JS because JS never exposed threads. When the time came for spreading compute load to multiple cores JS decided to simply create multiple contexts first with just message passing and then later with shared memory. As a result you can still code JS in the typical thread unaware way but utilize multiple cores without having to go multi-process or multi-machine. For in thread stuff the async model (or historically callbacks) is good enough if you're not compute bound.

In Python threads are exposed but only one runs at a time and you have to go full multiprocessing to use the other cores. This is both confusing and annoying respectively hence the increased noise about the GIL.

If I were to give $1 monthly to everyone who substantially contributed to the software I am using on a daily basis, I believe my salary wouldn't suffice and I'd have to go live on the street. I know about Patreon, yes. But I also know that only the most prominent figures will actually earn enough to make it worthwhile. And in a sense, they are making money off the fact that the other 99% does not try to get payed for what they volunteered for.
P.S. In my state in the US, and I believe this is true for most of the country, “commercial drivers licenses“ are required for driving very large and heavy vehicles over a certain weight; they are not required for driving paying passengers in a regular sized vehicle - in case anyone is wondering. You don’t need a special license to transport passengers for hire in typical sized cars, because the expectation is that you already know how to drive those vehicles safely.

A catastrophic vehicle failure at highway speeds could cause death but these kinds of failures are not especially likely, and drivers are expected to be able to reasonably handle circumstances they may encounter. The most dangerous circumstance I can think of off the top of my head that is not whether related would be the explosive decompression of a tire at highway speed, leading to loss of control of the vehicle. While the car might begin to swerve, a driver should react to this and keep the vehicle under control while they navigate to the shoulder. Catastrophic failure of brakes isn’t a common occurrence, and brakes begin to squeak when they are wearing down; the entire brake system would have to fail.

Interestingly, the FAA does make this distinction for pilots licenses: if you are going to fly someone in an aircraft for hire, then a private pilots license (PPL) is not sufficient, and you need a commercial license - even if you’re operating the same aircraft. You can split the costs of travel with someone if you’re both flying to the same destination, but you cannot fly someone else for hire and charge them for everything (in other words, operate a small airline or a charter service).

I can think of a number of good reasons for this: among other things, most adults with driver licenses quickly develop hundreds or thousands of hours behind the wheel of a car, and if the car malfunctions you can simply stop (most of the time — driving in extreme weather conditions being an exception to this). Private pilots engaged in general aviation may take years to reach 1000 hours flying an aircraft, whereas a professional pilot probably flies 1000 hours each year; and has a rigorously routine re-training and certification schedule (from what I understand) because an aircraft malfunction in the air is a very serious situation. Plus the amount of information that pilots need to know in order to fly safely is substantially greater than what drivers need to know; the maneuvers that pilots need to execute are much more cognitively and mechanically intensive, and the concurrent task workload is much higher.

A private pilot engaged in general aviation is the one taking on the risk of an accident, along with anyone they bring along (e.g. friends/family). When a (non-pilot) passenger pays someone else to fly them, they have little understanding of the risks involved in the activity - whereas most adults know how to drive or could easily get a license; and even if they don’t, they understand the risks of road travel - whereas non-pilots have few understanding of the risks of air travel.
Personally, yes, I think I would. Or really somewhere between 1 and 3 depending on how long I thought I really needed to facilitate an orderly transfer of my work to the rest of the team. Winning the lottery is a case where I would have a ton of personal flexibility, and I'd like to think that I'd use some of it to not put people in uncomfortable positions.

But I also think this misses the point, plenty of people do plenty of rude things when they win the lottery (so it's not a good barometer for what is polite), and the circumstances are substantially different when you're leaving because you now have "f u money" rather than leaving because you're going to do the same thing for a different employer (so it's not a analogous situation).

Circumstances where I wouldn't give advanced notice are cases where I felt I was being mistreated (being rude is worth leaving earlier, plus I have minimal sympathy), or there was an opportunity that really couldn't wait (being rude is sometimes worthwhile - it's a balancing act).
Actually, this is normal in the container shipping industry. Oversupply is the very likely result of this within 24 months. (Likely very much less.). Most of the oversupply typically comes from recycled ships and not new manufacturing. However, even during a downturn new manufacturing doesn't cease because container ships have a very short lifetime. New ships are sold typically in just a few years to smaller operations which in turn resell them again to smaller firms. At the end of their lifetimes, the ships inwill be owned by tiny (typically) East-Asian operators which will spend more time and money jury-rigging them to stay afloat than operating them under contract. The sea is not kind to steel. But when rates are high, even an old clunker can be run profitably, so these small operations with one or two rusting ships which are essentially lemons can continue operating them at a profit until rates dive again.
