>>It seems like there's something seriously wrong with our media ecosystem

I think that is a symptom of the problem not the root cause

>>I don't know if banning these ideas is good/effective

its not, never has been, in fact has been shown to make the idea's spread further and become more extreme as people enter into information echo chambers.

>but we need some way to incentivize the veracity of ideas

Why? in reality the root cause is decades and decades of coddling children and the removal of critical thinking education in favor of memorization education.

The root cause is the failure to teach people how to use critical thinking and logic to assess the validity of data and claims made by people.

The reality is that "Trust the Experts™" is an example of this and really does make the problem worse because people are taught to just trust an authority instead of being able to look at a claim or data set and deiced for themselves if that claim should be accepted. The problem become with the "authority" people trust is wrong, either because they are a charlatan, or just ignorant themselves. However because people have been training to alway trust authority they become locked into this unable to think for themselves.

The more we move to a model of messenger over message, credential over data, the worse this problem will become. The additon of punishments for those that dare to resist "authority" is also going to end badly when that authority is wrong. Keep in mind I have countless examples of authority being wrong I can cite, a big on is that for decades and during my childhood the USDA pushed the food pyramid we now know to be wrong. They were the experts and anyone that dared say "hey maybe all these carbs are bad" were shunned... Vegetable oils are a another where the experts it seems may be been very wrong.

The enlightenment in part was the removal of charismatic messengers in favor of data driven objective truth. It did not matter who the person was it matter what they were saying and if they could prove their claim. All individuals were the same. We have lost that in favor of personality, credentials and authority over data, and proof.

Why is the vaccine safe? "Because the CDC and FDA said so"... that is not a valid response to me. Show me the data, show me the studies, show me the proof... that is the valid response.
its obvious that contrary opinions will be banned first with option to appeal coming after. im sure that will be a totally open and transparent process.
Frankly, one of these days I'm going to write an article about your point.

On the one hand, the Pi 4 Model B is absolutely amazing and the support is outstanding.

On the other hand, for each role it can fulfil, there are probably much better options. As in: better price, performance, capabilities, and so on.

But in some sense, the Pi isn't about actual practical usability. Jeff Geerling has shown with his youtube channel how much fun can be had with them.
So who should decide what moderation policies we have for the public? The general populace, who as you say would elect literally Hitler, or the government itself of which Hitler was once a part and used these very moderation mechanisms to suppress the Jews? The tyranny of a minority of special moderators like perhaps a nominally communist censor committee may have? We allow Naziist speech to exist precisely because we don't want the government or the tyranny of the majority or minority choosing what political speech is allowed, such as outlawing speech that doesn't promote Naziism.

>You're trying to draw analogies between modern technology and the old town square.

No I'm trying to find out how you want to apply moderation strategies to "reduce the likelihood" (my apologies if I misquoted your deleted comment) of democratic election of those who some censors decide have the wrong political views or speech.

>You should stop doing that because instant distribution to a billion people isn't the same thing as a speech to a thousand.

Are you also one of those that thinks the first amendment doesn't apply to the internet because the founders never imagined something that distributes so much faster than the printing press could exist? I know this is a straw man but I can't help but think this is where this is leading.

>And your argument is that if the venues hosting Hitler's speeches had Reddit's moderation policies then Hitler would not have been elected?

The fact that you didn't answer this question (well you did, but you deleted it) really is an damning answer of itself.
> Of course, the CD-ROM only spins in one direction however. Crash Bandicoot programmers solved this issue by making it impossible to run backwards in the game.

I've been playing crash since I was a kid, and I never thought about why you couldn't run backwards. What a brilliant solution.
Uh yeah, when more people are vaccinated, a greater percentage that get it will be vaccinated.
For things that aren't very CPU-bound or highly cachable, e.g. the compilation tests are ~ 12-13% (vs Ubuntu 21.10 being more apples-to-apples)
The thing that worked where I'm from (Canada) was requiring proof of vaccination to do pretty much anything (eat indoors, play indoor sports, movie theatre, etc).

Suddenly, this inconvenience has caused a surge in vaccinations.

Or imagine if the world just went together to try to build fusion reactors. Spending on ITER is 2 billion a year, why not 20 billion a year? We would probably learn a ton about different ways to do it and maybe innovate stuff, maybe we would have already solved the global energy crisis if we had a 20 billion budget for it 10 years ago? Or even better, imagine if instead of spending hundreds of millions to make ads that just serves to make people spend more on consumption, maybe that could be used to make reactors? People would go into research for the money, they would train hard to get the best reactor jobs, it would be the hot new market! All that could be reality, but no, society says "ads are more important, without ads people might forget to spend their money and that would be a tragedy!".

It's obviously a hard problem. As someone who used to do dialysis-access operations (AV fistulas/AV shunts), just looking at their diagram and seeing 3 location with a plastic::tissue interface (artery, vein, bladder) is a massive hurdle alone. The connection between the artery and the device will stenose, the connection between the vein and the device will clot (despite whatever is in the press release, I can guarantee it will). And then exposing the entire apparatus to the bladder - it will get infected, and then the whole thing needs to be removed.

So, even if they got the actual device perfect, the realities of interfacing that with an actual person, for any reasonable length of time... Don't hold your breath.

This is why kidney transplant is so great... it's all real tissue, even if you need lifelong antisuppression.
Payments business is huge and there is a lot of space there. A few global competitors are:

* Braintree (acquired by PayPal)
* Checkout.com
* Adyen (more enterprise oriented)

+ there are a lot of local players, e.g. Mollie is popular in the Netherlands, Payu and Przelewy24 are large providers in Poland, in China people pay with Wechat and Alipay, and in Indonesia with GoPay by Gojek

Stripe provides a lot of services besides payments, but if you just need a payment provide for your on-line shop, whether you go with Stripe or Braintree is not a very big difference. I mean sure, quality of documentation and customer service matters, but the 2 most important factors for people are pricing and support for the payment methods popular in your country (e.g. iDeal in the Netherlands, fast bank transfers in Poland etc.)
It's a reminder of a bigger unresolved societal issue - how the healthcare resources are to be distributed to patients. Should vaccinated get preference? Young ones? Wealthy? Political class? Celebrities?

In whole world, they all do, and I am not sure it is always the right way things should work. We should have enough beds and staff to care for all people in need. Even those not in preferred societal classes or not with the right political views or even those who did some bad medical decisions.
Honest question, is what you’re referring to this[1] or something else? I’d be interested to see how hooks could work without side effects.

Someone mentioned above, and so I ask: have you given banana-pi r1 with openwrt a try? Would that setup be simpler than the current one with VLAN and netplan?

Speaking of netplan: I didn't quite catch head or tail of it.

What does it do and why is it required (in the context of the setup).

For ex:

ethernets:
enp2s0f0:
dhcp4: no # only dhcp6 allowed?
# or, is dhcp now handled by wifi-ap?

enp2s0f0.10:
id: 10
link: enp2s0f0 # down-link?
addresses:
- 68.69.70.71/24 # is this modem's public-ip subnet?
# or, could be anything?
gateway4: 68.69.70.1 # modem's public-ip?
enp2s0f0.20:
id: 20
link: enp2s0f0 # up-link?
addresses:
- 192.168.0.1/24 # subnet for the internal network?
# what does dhcp for this one?

> So all the routing and NAT that needs to happen, just happens on those two virtual interfaces instead.

The managed-switch NATs traffic? Or, you mean to say that rpi4 does? Or, am I misunderstanding how all of this actually works?

Thanks.
Talk about making a mountain of a mole hill. There's a range of possible values that the science supports and he said a number in that range when asked what he thinks.
Ugh. I meant unexpected bonuses there at the end. That one mistake changes that whole sentence.
Sorry, yeah, I should have been more clear: I have heard of schools being closed, just not for the reason that "someone got near someone with covid". Inslee's statement says the reason is due to "increasing rates of COVID-19 related infections, hospitalizations and death", but maybe you have additional information about the real reason.
The term exists and it is called the Overton Window. It has been an intentional tactic and it is happening across several political spectra. For example, being against illegal immigration now gets you labelled anti-immigration. Wanting the police to be held accountable for their actions is now considered leftist instead of normal. Being anti-vax is considered a personal choice worthy of consideration instead of a fringe/lunatic view.

I would be very happy if I were Russia/China.
No, because your hypothetical fishing forum is not "large scale", and because discrimination based on general topic does not suppress the free exchange of ideas the same way that discrimination based on the beliefs of the poster does.

If YouTube banned all health-related discussion regardless of what position the video was advocating for I would still disagree with that decision, but it would not be a blatant human rights violation the way their current policy is.

"Actual needs", "serving a function" and "obvious/unavoidable downsides" are loaded concepts that humans disagree vehemently about, not any kind of objective formula that can tell you the intrinsic value of other concepts.

I have to admit, I'm not very experienced in armed conflicts with drug cartels, but the idea that engaging their people with your AR-15 would be better than retreating and/or deescalating seems more like a gun fantasy to me than a realistic assessment of such situations.
I used to think there must be something 'special' to brains to distinguish us from computers. There isn't. Brains encode finite amounts of information (quantum mechanics seems to imply bounded local information). We are a huge information network ourselves -- that's what consciousness is (with some added bits like self-identity and various particulars structures that dictate the character of our experience).

But that doesn't mean brains aren't special -- it means brains are special and computers are special. Even more: it seems to imply computers, AI, etc. can be as special as ourselves, sentient, and perhaps even more special in ways we haven't realized yet.

It's difficult to even imagine a physical theory with unbounded local information. It seems to open the possibility to crazy things like hypercomputation, which do not seem very well defined. (For example: every 1-1/n seconds, (n>1) from now, flip a switch ON/OFF. At what state will the switch be at t>1s? An at exactly t=1s?)

Note: while information and information flow itself bounded (hence no hypercomputation), I don't know of any obvious objections to continuous time. (I'm not sure the continuity of time has any profound implications)
Anti-vax and ant-mask conspiracy theories aren't legitimate political opposition being deplatformed. They're dangerously false views making a pandemic worse. It doesn't matter who spreads them.
Maybe I'm being overly pedantic but I think that's a textbook description for overly "clever" code in any language- it makes perfect sense to the authors but is nontrivial for the reader to understand

How does that affect engineer comp? I imagine folks are granted a lot of equity, but if the founders don't want to IPO... is there a buyback scheme in place for internal holders?

Mind you, I'm also pretty anti-IPO -- I think that going public usually has a negative impact on a company's products (more push towards profit at the cost of quality and employee QOL). But if you're stuck with a lot of stock that you haven't exercised 10 years on, I can see the engineers getting really frustrated.
I see a lots of other guys and gals on YouTube with cooking recipes of literally breadcrumbed mix of cheese and bacon on butter which will send victim's cholesterol through the roof. But I don't see anybody bannig them from doing this because they will cause people to die of heart diseases.

So how do you explain… *gestures around* ?

Employment is one of the most obvious, salient examples of market failure I can think of. Exploitative employers engineer situations where employees can't even use the job market, because they need a job and job-shopping (e.g. taking time off-call to do interviews) will lose them their job. Example: Arise Virtual Solutions[0].

If that's not a good enough example? See the gig economy. Companies taking over a service sector “with an app”, at a loss (using investor money), then squeezing the money back out of employees (e.g. by misclassifying them, not telling them how much each gig pays, programming virtual micromanagers to work them to the point of health problems in the name of “efficiency”). To use your words:

In September 2019 i was diagnosed with kidney function of 54 percent (at 44) out of 100. It doesn't run in the family and my other prior condition was high cholesterol at 37 then at 40 i had some Gout attacks. I took a statin for the high cholesterol for a few years. I never took any other meds outside of a sleeping pill here and there (12 times in a few years). My kidney doc thinks my kidney damage was from medication i took so maybe it was the statin.

After being diagnosed my doc said avoid taking all meds, which i did and do. I also went ahead and changed my diet where i drink 3 liters of water per day and cut out all pork and redmeatl, as well increased my fruits & vegetable intake. Also, avoid fatty foods and lost five to ten pounds (around 170 5'10). My kidney function as of just getting my results today is 79 out of 100(creatitine 1.1). Though my monthly test shows me the average to be in the low 70s usually. Not sure why it was higher this month..did lose a few pounds further.

Overall Im thinking if I continue on with this lifestyle I may not have to go on dialysis for another 20 to 30 years possibly more. Yet its all in the air thus I constantly get it monitor each month to bi-monthly even if my doctor says that's not needed. She did say sure try changing your diet/lifestyle and see how it works. Some docs I hear will just say diet won't improve your kidney yet I joined a Facebook group where a guy's kidney was completely failed yet his wife revolutionized his diet and his function went from crazy low on dialysis to like 30 percent and off of dialysis.

I am just sharing my experience with my kidney issues maybe it will help others .. maybe not. Im not here to argue just offer what has worked for me positively and many others in that Facebook group mentioned.
Webex interface is… not great. Zoom isn’t either and I’m quite surprised it’s as popular as it is given the UX. Surprising these things are as difficult as they are and yet get such adoption.
So you’re saying we need to censor to protect freedom of speech?

Nice. Dataflow analysis is really quite useful, this is making me think I should take a good look at Rust. I used to work in SPARK and I miss the analysis tools we had. The insights that flow analysis could give you in a tight loop was so useful.

The original hope was that vaccinated people wouldn't get it at all, as per any other vaccine. Delta proved for this to not to be the case, unfortunately.
Without condoning or condemning your goals or the goals of YouTube: the more effective way to push back is to get the vaccine and live another day to actually push back. Do you really think pro-censorship advocates will change their mind because anti-censorship advocates die in large numbers by refusing an effective medicine? Look around this thread, there are plenty of pro-censorship commentators right here. Do you think your death or hospitalization will move the needle in your favor?

Martyrdom is not a very effective and reliable strategy. People martyr themselves because there's nothing left, the cause they fight for is so important to them that they would rather die than lose the fight. Does that really describe you? Would you rather die than tolerate YouTube censorship? Maybe it is that important to you. I just want you to think it through a bit more, I don't really get the sense that you're weighing your options seriously.
In the course of building an app, I ran into many brick walls and learned way too much about Core Data, iCloud sync, Collection and Table Views, and Diffable Data Sources.

There is documentation for each of those individually, but I could find no clear and simple example project that ties them all together in a neat little bow. So I wrote this example starter project to help others who want to accomplish the same thing.
It seemed critical early on that Amplitude basically made what MixPanel charged a lot for free, by providing a huge free tier. This is how my company ended up on Amplitude... and then we didn't pay for years, until we eventually ended up paying $40K/year then more.

That pricing structure seems like a very long-viewed approach that could have easily been ruined by short-term product thinking.

Was there ever internal or investor pressure along the way to cut or pare down the free tier?

The initial results are that libraries like LoopVectorization can already generate optimal micro-kernels, and is competitive with MKL (for square matrix-matrix multiplication) up to around size 512.

One that could be served similarly with an older computer you already own, or a router that supports custom firmware like Merlin, tomato or ddwrt.

In absolute terms, you're right. We interact with media more than we ever have before.

The printing press was huge in relative terms, though. There was no mass media before that. The average person was unlikely to be able to read, much less to own any books. Communicating across even relatively short distances was infeasible. Most of the media they consumed was either from the church or at least regulated by the church.

The printing press was huge because the normal person's sphere of possible influence grew 100x. Much in the way that we've 100x-ed again with things like YouTube. The relative increase in sphere of influence is similar, the absolutes are massively different.
