same with me.
First, I don't think governments should be banning the speech across the entire internet. But companies with large social platforms can and probably should do so in certain situations, such as a pandemic when conspiracy theories are being spread which make controlling the pandemic more difficult, and can lead to more deaths.

As for where to draw the line, society always has to figure out where to draw lines on what behavior is allowed and what isn't. It's always a matter of tradeoffs, not some absolute principal with no exceptions. Society may very well go too far in one direction, and often has, but we still end up drawing lines somewhere. Hacker News certainly draws the line on some speech, because of a desire to keep the site respectful and on topic.

For Covid, I think the reasonable standard acceptable to a majority of people is to ban intentional spread of conspiracy theories with clearly false facts that discourage people from being vaccinated, or putting harmful substances in their bodies to combat the virus, which are not medically approved.
U.S. needs to work with Europe to slow China's innovation rate, Raimondo says
I'm sure they mean Alberta, however given Alberta is basically either Edmonton or Calgary, sure, why not. :)
This is sort of more of the same as what I was saying. Android phones have horrible hardware flaws and they don't gain much attention. At the same time as "You are holding it wrong" Nexus 5x phones where bricking due to bad NAND chips. Nexus 6P phones where crashing due to battery issues similar to the iphone but they did not throttle the phone and left it to crash. Samsung had phones that would explode in to fireballs. Samsung's flip phones crack at the fold and are extremely expensive to fix. Google Photos has been doing the exact same image scanning for the whole lifetime of the product and no one noticed or cared.

All OEMs have had hardware issues or scandals but they are all quickly forgotten while any fault on an iPhone becomes memorialized forever. They were all real faults but they weren't ever any worse than the rest, only more news worthy.

> Free speech absolutists were far less in favour of free speech when it came to banning viagra-salesmen.

Nope. We're in favor of viagra salesmen being able to speak to anyone who wants to listen to them, same as anyone else. It's just that effectively noone wants to listen to them, and we tend to design things accordingly because we're lazy and noone is complaining (that they want to listen to viagra salesmen).
For me, the virus was a day long cough, a very mild fever, and about 5 minutes of "can't get a deep breath". So for me, I know which one I'd prefer.
I don't understand why they don't just bribe the person admistering the jab. A couple Benjamins and the syringe gets squirted on the floor, no job loss and if they get the rona it's just a breakthru case.

Maybe some have done that already I guess...
Case in point: 90% of the pickup trucks sold in the USA.
that’s disengenous. you can’t get HIV by eg. dining in the same restaurant as someone who is positive. you can with covid.
I once stayed at work for 36 hours straight to finish assembling a batch of circuit boards for a customer's prototype. I dropped them off at FedEx for next day AM shipping right before they closed on a Saturday and felt pretty good to just barely make the deadline!!

Well Monday morning, the customer assembles the first prototype and it lights on fire. Turns out there were lots of other problems and all my work was for nothing.

I learned a lot from the experience!
Suhail! It's good to hear from you, thanks for the note. Let's catchup sometime.
As others have mentioned there can be some real gems in Youtube recommendations.

Unfortunately there's always (in my experience) at least one out of place recommendation, usually for something that's entirely unrelated but trending amongst the overall userbase.

If it were possible to remove just those random lures along with all live broadcasts the recommendations would likely be uniformly high quality.

Anyway, congrats on the extension. This seems especially helpful on mobile where Youtube seems to want to draw you away form the video you actually came to watch.
So in my country the legally mandated minimum employer to employee notice after an initial three months is two weeks, plus an additional two weeks for every five years service of the employee up to eight weeks total. The exemptions are mostly limited to gross negligence or criminal misconduct. They can put you on garden leave for that time if they really don't want you in the building, but they have to pay you.

When you get fired sometimes you do get notice, at times 3/6 months.

Many places will let you go immediately but are required to pay notice pay.

As an employee working notices are soulcrushing fearful periods where you have to find new work while working with esteem low. The layoff with pay allow you to refocus and reframe your experiences with a safety net.

No, owning only half the number of tractor trailers is half the cost of capital (bond interest rate or loans or so on) is a cost savings. Plus a single driver can't go 12 hours a day any day of the week, let alone continuously.

That has nothing to do with this change. It doesn't even seem like they had their phone turned off for this to be in play anyway. The most likely answer is that they hit a bug in the new update or that they placed their phone off centered on a wireless charger. I'm not sure why the general public should care about rare bugs in day one updates which get patched pretty quick anyway.

The turned off pings use an ultra low power mode similar to the airtags which should last months on a "flat" battery.
I really liked my company and the people I worked with, but pretty gladly left recently for 40% raise. Felt foolish to not do so.
If you ban travel from China but not Chinese nationals, then what's the point?

Nothing stops people from China from flying to Europe and then the US.

Nothing.

Yes, it was racism. Yes, it was pointless. Do you want to continue this discussion further?
Is that new in iOS 15? They never used to - it was something I missed when switching from the Nokia ecosystem (Symbian/Meego) to iOS. It's nice for turning your phone off at night but still using it as an alarm clock.

Edit: Just tested it. Sadly it still doesn't work. iOS 15 on an iPhone SE (2016).
NYC has a website that lists sources https://www1.nyc.gov/content/leadfree/pages/lead-sources

This makes no sense. If you want to hide, just tap the warning and it gives you the option to turn off the feature.

So it works best for everyone. The average person can track their stolen phones now. And people hiding from the government can still turn it off.
"Long ago I had dinner with six French copy editors. Authors, they told me, work by simple principles: never check a fact or a date, never verify a reference and never spell a proper name the same way twice."

I was about to quote Laurence Sterne, "They order, said I, this matter better in France." But then I read "long ago", and I wouldn't bet that copy editors have hung on any better in France than in the United States.

(I did not consult an index for this comment, but I did go to gutenberg.org to verify, and it turned out, correct the quotation.)

I do use indexes to books--I am no scholar--chiefly when I remember that the author said such-and-such about so-and-so, and haven't the time to read through all the many pages to track the reference down.
Over 200 comments and nobody has mentioned privacy. Read the Rivian privacy policy, it's downright scary. They track and record everything: location, acceleration/braking, charging, etc., and they explicitly state that they will "share" all the personal information with 3d party advertisers. I don't know how anyone gets on board with this stuff. I would be in line for one of these (or any electric vehicle) but every company seems to do it nowadays, with no option for opting out.
Over the summer Florida has been in the news because of an ongoing epidemic spike. Using hospitalization rates, the spike started sometime in early July. By late Sept it is almost gone. The fully vaccinated rate increased from 48% to 59% during the same time period. Is the receding fully explainable by the increase in vaccination rate, or can we consider other forces at play, for example forces of outside human control that have been at play in every single epidemic
before the vaccines era?

Edit: I plotted Rt as a function of eff, assuming r0=7 and vacRate=1. Rt goes below 1 only for values of eff > 0.85, which means that given the numbers for eff you gave in a different post "overall range of 55.6 - 93.6 effectiveness against infecting others", there are plenty of scenarios where vaccines by themselves cannot stop an infection wave even if the population is 100% vaccinated.

Edit2. For a 0.59 vacRate, there are some solutions for R0 * (1 - 0.59 * eff) < 1 with eff in [0, 1] and R0 in [0, 9], specifically there are solutions for R0 < 2.x Not going to cut it for 0.59 vaxx rate and delta, no matter how effective the vaccines are.

At the start of the pandemic there was not much information on the effectiveness of public mask wearing to stop disease. It had been studied a tiny bit based on SE asian mask wearing cultures and the studies from memory were pretty inconclusive. We got much more and much better data when the pandemic began.

I'm not an expert and you should check these facts yourself, but my personal experience was that I investigated this after a trip to Japan many years before the pandemic began. I wondered why western culture did not have a similar mask wearing etiquette and my conclusion on the efficacy was that the evidence for it actually making a difference was sparse and weak.

EDIT: I may have misunderstood your emphasis. I took it to be on the time, as in you were saying that we knew beforehand that masks worked. I see this might not be correct. If you are saying that the evidence is still not good, you may be correct, but I think there is enough early evidence and plausible mechanism of action to assume that the right mask in the right setting is effective. I accept that single layer cloth masks might not do much.
I'm not sure we are supposed to doxx ourselves here, but yes, I did help write the article. No problem and I really appreciate your feedback - it was the intention here to help get an understanding from technically-minded people what aspects of the proposition may need fleshing out.
We don’t know. We also have only his selection of a subset of the emails.

His description seems very clearly a bookstore. He even names a book.

The rejection is very vague. Maybe he got more detail later. It would be helpful if for example it’s a non exempt entity, they specifically told him that so he could decide to remedy or appeal if they were incorrect.
This is absolutely correct

If the markets were efficient and equivalent to random brownian motion, Jim Simons wouldn't be producing 50%+ returns for decades non-stop in HFT.

His net worth is 25 billion dollars, and there are other countless billionaires, made from the "efficient" markets.

That's how much this fallacy is worth.
They work better at containing the spread of the virus than not wearing masks. Social distancing and some indoor restricts along with masks work fairly well. Vaccinations are even better.
Companies seem to hand out only crumbs for pay rises but are willing to drop mountains of extra money when hiring fresh people. In 3 years of working at one company, they gave me an extra $20k in pay rises. After leaving that job for another one, My pay went up $60k AUD in one go.
Shifting goal posts? They said the mRNA vaccines were not safe even before the first trial began.

>I'm having a hard time seeing your point.

The start of this thread is a comparative juxtaposition of anti-vaxxer and terrorist content. I think that's an interesting thought experiment but requires historical context with an emphasis on the roles social media and realpolitik played. Put bluntly, social media is socially corrosive, we are experiencing a non-partisan leadership vacuum, and all these polarizing events aren't as different as they seem.

>And well that's silly for two reasons. The first is that the social media landscape was very different 10 years (yeah really!) ago when the Arab Spring started, the companies didn't have "stop terrorism" on their radar.

10 years later and social media is still driven by polarizing engagement metrics and addictive anti-patterns. Banning content is an insufficient bandaid at best and scapegoat at worst. Fundamentally the same landscape.

>And actually a third is that a lot of the initial arab spring was explicitly about pro-democratic and non-muslim or more secular governments. So this whole complaint doesn't make a lot of sense. Like yes, people were in favor of the use of social media for democratic organizing.

It's not a given that it was about democracy any more it's a given antivaxxers are about safety/freedom. Are these the real issues, are they proxy issues, or is it layers of both?

It's not a significant barrier anymore.

For a while now to steal a phone you needed a fence. The fence will just give you a metallised bag and you'll put the phone in it. It's not really more complicated than turning off the phone as thieves already do.

As for the software features, they've always been and will always be bypassable. People figure out how to defeat iCloud Lock, how to change ESN/IMEI/IMSI already. It's easily a 30 million dollar market, people will continue to figure it out.
Not to mention they have a near total monopoly on conservative viewership! How else can a liberal operator reach those people?
Agree! I really appreciated their main page too with no ads (I think) and the way articles populated the endless scroll.
Growing up playing video games in the '80s and '90s, I always thought the companies making games were massive. As an adult, I've gone to several retro gaming conventions and seen game creators from back then talk about their experiences. It really surprised me the first time I learned that often those games were often coded by 1 or 2 people. So yeah, those companies behind the ads were tiny by today's standards.
Judy Mikovits spent her career developing vaccines and stated she is pro-vaccines, not anti vax.
It isn't infecting everyone or affecting everyone equally. Generally, more dense and poor areas have higher case rates. It doesn't make sense to apply the same restrictions everywhere, if your odds of catching the virus happen to be slim.
You're oversimplify it. You don't know where they are until they are already swooping you. They've drawn blood on me before when I was walking from my car into work. They are a menace for cyclists. A woman tripped over recently when being attacked by a magpie. She was carrying her baby. The baby died.

Sure, if you know exactly where they are on a regular route you might be able to avoid them by taking a different route.

"People injure themselves panicking around Australian Magpies, far more than anything Magpies directly do." sounds just like victim-blaming.

In comparison, koalas just stay in their trees when you walk past.

Of course I'm generalising because the majority of magpies don't swoop and I like hearing their songs. But there are plenty of overly aggressive magpies that do real harm.
Do you have any idea _why_ they were hesitant?
In my case the right hand preview being generated is literally HTML that is presented as formatted markdown. The solution for me was to detach the generated markdown html tree from the creation of the react elements. You can have the worker return a json tree shape that defines all the elements it wishes to place onto the dom, ships it over to the main react element that React.CreateElement's through the tree.

This way the cached elements can be shown until the new tree elements are created and you can just react setState to the new elements and it's instant
Except they don't. Thieves don't know how change the ESN of a phone or how to bypass an iCloud Lock. They have fences that either sell the phones for parts or bypass the security features. It's how it works for a few years already now.

The only difference is now instead of turning off the phones they'll put it in a metallized plastic bag.
I’ve always regretted not being more honest with my manager 20 years ago when I’d made the decision to move back to my home town but wasn’t ready to pull the trigger. She knew I was getting married, knew we were trying to decide where to live; I could have given her more warning.

If you’re out there, Peggy, I am indeed sorry.
They should, but they won't be, and this sort of head-in-the-sand approach will just mean you personally get left behind, not that YouTube will change.

We live in the world we live in, not the one we should live in.
Depending on what your idea of a computer is, the reference carrier board for the Raspberry Pi 4 compute module has a pcie x1 slot. The jetson family of developer kits have pcie connectivity. The 4GB Jetson Nano has an m.2 E key slot which has a pcie x1 lane, with the right adapter available from Amazon or alibaba or where ever, you can plug in a pcie card of your choice. The Xavier NX has two m.2 slots, which again, with adapters can connect to pcie cards. Though I’m not sure of the use case as the jetson line has fairly capable gpus built in.
>> "So far, there is no scientific evidence available that suggests that spike proteins created in our bodies from the COVID-19 vaccines are toxic or damaging our organs."

Is not the same as "...is not toxic and does not damage our organs."

In response you could look at this and decide maybe we're not getting the full story. Or you could look at the rampant censorship (the purpose of the OP) and decide that maybe we're not getting the whole story.

What the health care worker here is saying is that doctors are not reporting adverse effects like they should be.

Yes, Project Veritas makes their videos in hyper-over-produced fashion which seems ... weird, maybe a bit disingenuous. They cut and edit and potentially leave a lot of questions on the table with that. But when I go to comments sections on reposts of this video on various sites, there are numerous health care workers saying "This is how it is, this is what is happening where I am also." Is this foreign propaganda or some coordinated trolling? Maybe.
The best thing in the world is to be fired on the day you receive a better offer. You get all of your notice pay while you are getting paid at your new employer.
> No, it does not. It only prevents serious cases.

That's not true either. Double vaccination completely prevents infection (even asymptomatic infection) in 50-70% of cases. See e.g. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/227713/coronavirus-infection...

> If vaccinations encourage new variants is a total different question. It is very possible. Evolutionary pressure is a bitch.

Fewer infected people means fewer mutations. As to whether those fewer mutations spread better (thanks to selective pressure)? It's a legitimate question, but thankfully the answer appears to be the no, the opposite, thanks to the neutralising antibody response. See https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/142544990582960128...
Not saying you're wrong, but that's also a great reason to give when you don't want to talk about the real reason.
I don't remember any notable problems but Apple has a long history of doing interesting things for form factor rather than prioritizing reliability going at least as far back as the 128k.
probably because nobody read it. It should be illegal to share personal data with 3rd parties without EXPLICIT permission for each sharing instance. In order to share your x-ray/medical scans/information it must be done on a case by case basis. This should be required for all personal information

You can do satellite comms on something that small (maybe an antenna a few centimetres square) if you're only interested in moving a few bits per second or maybe kilobits per second. In the transmit direction you're generally limited by how much power you can pump out (the smaller the antenna, the less antenna gain you have and the more power you need to produce from your transmit chain). In the receive direction, you have a figure called G/T which has to do with the ratio of the antenna gain to the noise temperature of the receiver chain (which includes thermal noise picked up to the universe, plus noise introduced at each gain stage etc.).

The simpler the modulation, the less power you need generally, but you can move less data in a given amount of frequency spectrum, so that's the tradeoff.

> broadly described as anarchists

This is a bit much. From what I can tell, most solarpunks are mostly just social anarchists (in the sense of anarcho-socialists) and not individualist anarchists. It's a bit frustrating to see this split glossed over by anarchists who think their anarchism is the "true anarchism".
> The idea that the Jewish population was responsible for the harms and ills of pre-WWII Germany was a devastatingly harmful idea.

You literally just held this idea in your head, and typed it out. Dozens read it, myself included, where it briefly resided in our heads.

Who or what was harmed by that?

Ideas aren't harmful, ideology is.

You can't censor ideology; correspondingly censorship is not a useful tool for fighting ideology.
the headline "innovation rate" and the article body "IPR theft" don't really mesh. Does china do rampant IPR theft? Yes. Without over-doing it, a lot of state actors do things which are completely antithetical to their treaty obligations all the time. The US and Europe are no exceptions, if they don't do this in IPR, it only partially offsets what they do in other ways to distort international trade.

China's actual innovation rate is pretty astronomical, IPR theft or not. I don't understand why anyone thinks the way to level a playing field is to stop other people innovating.

(if you think you can achieve IPR success solely by theft, you haven't paid attention: the B29 "chinese copy" the Soviets made in WW2 copied even faulty assembly holes, for fear of failure. It took real innovation to make airframes like the MIG jet series which took them head-to-head in combat. Theft of VLSI won't replace actual innovation in how to lay down fine structure, and China has been doing fundamental physics in Optics and materials science for a long time now)

Where's the innovation in US nuclear energy? Yes, they tried thorium reactors decades ago. Do US nuclear industry types think the chinese thorium reactor will simply replay the 1960s?
