> I don't want the government to meddle with what types of things people can say online

> I want them to ban the business model of stalking people online and selling intimate details of their lives

So, which is it? Government "meddling" is bad except when it is good?

How does the system prevent business model bans from becoming a backdoor control over "what types of things people can say online"?
Thankfully Apple isn't as popular compared to North America.
It makes sense why it would ease the initial shock from shutdowns, but how would it help with the cancelled orders and scaled back production? It seems like it would just stretch out the shock over a longer period of time. Would that actually stop the disruptions because it seems like they would eventually burn through all the inventory eventually because of that?
This isn't really obsessively following. It's just 78 minutes of background noise that may have something good. So, listen while doing something else.
Baserow founder here. Excited to inform you that we released version 1.6 of Baserow today and that includes the formula field.
Yes an no. If you can't trust the network you're running on, you could get around this by tunneling via Tor. Tox itself makes direct connections to friends, to exchange encrypted messages, so while they can see when you send packets, and to what IP. They can't know what's in those messages. The trade off is, they'd need to be able to MITM your network. There's no servers they can capture, to learn this information no matter where you are.
I have to say it's extremely bad form to retroactively completely reedit your post so that your original statements (which were shown to be wrong) don't show anymore.
You should put an edit line in your OP then. Currently thread doesn’t really make sense with those silent edits.
I wonder if there was an interface that required singing, or possibly it would play classical music while you talk - would it work for you?

I say this because of two things I've heard (possibly misconceptions)

One was that people who stutter can sing ok

the other was the movie "the king's speech" where playing classical music while talking would prevent the king from stuttering.
Maybe, maybe not. Taking Facebook away might now also act as an accelerant of divisions - hoping for a simple solution might not cut it.

Looking at social dynamics coupled with power politics one should always be prepared for really nasty outcomes even on well intentioned actions. If we as society decide that Facebook (and maybe other similar things) are too dangerous to have, lets do that right and not in a fit of anger allowing powerplays by other actors.
Also there is https://secret.club/
> Is there something nefarious if society legislates that a (upon closer examination) certain practices that were previously granted tacit or explicit approval are actually undesirable on a forward going basis?

No, of course not. But you have to articulate, in detail, what your new prohibitions are. You can't just declare people or organizations bad and punish them on the basis of their being bad without explaining what, specifically, is the conduct you're prohibiting going forward.

90% of the credit card take gets paid back out in the form of rewards, so it’s not really a tax
I think Twitter should be replaced by Substack.
You must be joking, because people who believe that greed is good are exactly the same ones who believe the government should not be imposing rules and everything should be left for the markets to decide.
Firstly the US isn't the whole world, or even "The West". Plenty of countries have handled the pandemic reasonably well and have efficient vaccination programmes with strong public support. Mine is one.

Heck even in the US you'll get over it. The Spanish Flu was far worse. I'm a pro-vax mask wearing Covid believer, I think the lockdowns were prudent. Even so, at a civilizational level it's just another speed bump either way. At the civilizational level even WW2 and Soviet and Chinese communism were just speed bumps. That's how powerful the forces of technological and social advancement are. The idea that Brexit or Trump, bad as they are, pose threats to our civilization? It's utterly absurd.

Secondly all of those are forward looking predictions. They may happen, they may be mitigated by near term action. Right now we are still on an up swing that has wobbled a bit. That's not to be complacent, we face some tough challenges, but saying we face the possibility of a downward turn and that we are now in a downturn are two completely different things. Claiming the first when it's palpably, visibly not true on any relevant metric doesn't help build credibility for the second prediction.

Haha OK, I think we have different definitions of 'why' and 'what' - I was thinking of 'why' being "why did I solve this problem in this way" and 'what' being "what problem did I solve". So yes, totally agree, your last sentence sums it up nice.
It might be low because it's a startup. Maybe the equity makes up for it.

I'd just tell them that it's much less than your current salary and see if they can do better. If they can't, then move on.

Meh, I disagree. I find most blog posts nowadays to be way too long. This Twitter thread is short and to the point.
How many people are even needed? Is it not possible to teach enough people in a decade? It's not like the knowledge is lost.
So...just snark for the sake of snark? Or are there actual examples of this claim?

The point isn't privacy, which is obviously a completely legitimate thing to desire. The point is that the image they present on social media is a complete fabrication. You were saying that everyone expects social media to be a little embellished and I'm saying that I don't believe this is embellishment, it is just outright fantasy, which people do not expect, from their friends at least.

Once again, the thing we're discussing is social media making people think everyone else has a great life, and your response is basically that... people should be able lie on social media? Which is fine, and also proves the original point that social media is misleading people.
I read (I forget where) that the Hindenburg's skin is where it started burning. The skin was fabric, painted with flammable shellac, and the shellac contained a lot of aluminum powder.
Yeah that means that the law is inadequate and that a company can get away with killing people
I would say that there's two models driving us to hell. In addition to the ad-supported model, there's also the "everything is a service" model. The AAS model is increasingly the only alternative to the ad-supported model that's available to those of us willing to pay for nice things. Teslas and iPhones are certainly not free, yet they're just as much inscrutable black-boxes as low-end smartphones and commodity "smart" TVs. The only difference is that they spend less time misbehaving because of careless updates, since this model motivates the manufacturers to invest more in QA. They're less openly hostile-seeming because they view the user like a high-end hotel views a guest - to be pampered and indulged. But the "user" is still a guest with limited-time and carefully-controlled access to the facilities, not an owner.

I just want to be able to run Python scripts and whatnot on my phone; I don't care much about how it's implemented. I'm sure it's possible to have this without compromising security. As far as I know, the Android sandbox already provides pretty great protection against any programs running inside Termux, so there's not much reason to block exec()? It would at least be nice if they made W^X exec() into a permission (probably not toggleable from the Settings UI, perhaps only grantable through `adb shell pm grant`, if they want to make sure only powerusers can do this). For example, some poweruser apps like Tasker can be granted "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" permission through adb to unlock more features. This permission is very powerful so it can't be granted through the Settings UI.
interesting regarding the 2-4 week window of rumblings, how do i get in on the action?
That’s a good question. Leaking internal company documents doesn’t automatically grant someone whistleblower protection. She appears to be trying an angle where she claims that Facebook’s activities have harmed shareholders in an attempt to capture some degree of whistleblower protection, but that’s a huge stretch given that she’s arguing they made choices in the interest of profits without violating any actual laws.

At this point, I think her best chance is to hope that Facebook will simply try to minimize the legal issue to avoid making her into too much of a martyr.
Freaking Stripe, man.

Why does Stripe, a financial services company, continue having the most interesting UI on the web? Those sexy svg gradient backgrounds, those color palletes that go together so well that I don't see anywhere else, every logo and every icon and every font choice so thoroughly thought out. What attracts UI/UX talent of this caliber to Stripe?
Thanks for not pushing back too hard on my (elderly?), ignorance, and giving me a chance to catch up with the current state of the art. This looks very interesting, and I am looking forward to spending time diving in for no more than a sense of curiosity. Thank you.

By all means. But you can't write laws targeting one company..

For example.- from what is being discussed - "Requiring Facebook to publicly disclose its internal research". -- either make all companies disclose internal research or none of them. You can't just pick and choose.

If you are at all interested in networking, I highly recommend doing this or joining the private DN42 network that's mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Setting this all up and actually seeing your IP addresses respond to pings from a machine halfway around the world is, to me, an amazing feeling.

We aren't going to run out of 32-bit (six digit) ASNs or IPv6 addresses any time soon, so you're not consuming a scarce resource by doing this.
We didn't even cover PCB design in my EE years, the course load was pretty much evenly split between circuit theory, VLSI (processor) design, power distribution systems, and embedded systems programming. Plus the necessary theoretical background in physics, mathematics, control theory, and management.
related, I read recently that the temperatures were lowered for some meats for internal temperature from 165.

EDIT: ok, here's the chart:

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and...

some things are still 165, but some are now 145. ham in some cases is 140.
Maybe it has more to do with the actual distribution/form of the data? From my understanding radix sort can be incredibly fast when the numbers have fixed digits and evenly distributed in a predefined range (like phone numbers) but will be ineffective for floating point numbers or uneven distributions with extreme outliers.
My comment made a lot more sense before the parent's ninja edit :)

I ordered an HP ProBook in April 2021 and I'm still waiting. The original delivery was scheduled for July, and that's been pushed back twice now.

A few weeks ago they emailed me saying the AX200 is unavailable and my choice was Realtek WiFi, or cancel my order.

I'm seriously wondering if they'll ever deliver. I might cancel my order if Ryzen 6000 is released before they manage to ship.
No, neither of those have anything meaningful to do with understanding marginal tax rates.
Seeing as how the actual mechanics of the leak were orchestrated by an attorney, and the documents were sent to an enforcement division of the Federal Government, it would be a pretty fair guess that they have considered it and are on solid legal ground.
Viewing this as an "algorithm" may be why people find it to be surprising*. I don't find it terribly surprising, because I've played with a lot of sorting networks. Viewed as a sorting network, it's really clear how and why the algorithm works (and where it wastes half of its time).

* though, edflsafoiewq's analysis is nice and tidy

They mentioned it's the salary at a startup. It might be that the offer includes equity and they are only focused on salary. It might just be that the company compensation model is different from what they are looking for.
Yeah u joints
I removed the misquote and thanked another user for pointing it out, but the rest of the comment still stands. Deleting a comment isn’t an option after people reply, so I don’t know what you want me to do. I apologized, removed the mistake, and thanked someone for pointing it out.
That's still a different target audience. Often my PR description will just be my commit message, though every now and then a PR consists of several commits and the PR description guides the reviewer through them and outlines a suggested way to review it, for example. Not at all what you'd want in release notes.
The problem is sometimes these groups are wrong. It was misinformation to say that the virus COULD have come from a lab. Obviously we don't know for certain, but to even suggest it may have been from a lab was called misinformation. If you think that is misinformation than you are the one who is a victim of or participating in the dissemination of misinformation or disinformation.
Unfortunately the Shortstown sheds are not in use for Airlander. HAV no longer have a presence there. They couldn't afford the rents while they recover from the crash and work towards building their next test vehicle.
Mostly movie studios and similar rent them now. A developer is hoping to build on the airfield which would stop any future airship use if they can't be stopped.
Nobody is complaining about it not being open enough. Time on site and amount of content you view is the driver of most of their revenue. Their business is fundamentally constrained by the number of users they have and the waking hours of the ones that are on the platform. To grow they can either recruit more users or build an engaging enough product to get their user to pick it instead of youtube/netflix/tiktok/work/family.

As you mentioned, their customers are advertisers, "users" are there to serve them.

EDIT: before you make the same argument as you made in your reply to another comment, I don't use any Facebook related products and deleted my facebook account over 10 years ago.

I'd also suggest you look into some writing on the attention economy and whales in gaming. All ad supported media is in a race to the bottom to compete for your time. There's a reason why news look like reality shows now.

As a public company they need to disclose information to investors which in some cases they didn't disclose. This is a SEC violation that might be hard to prove since it's hard to say what's OK and isn't.

Also Facebook reps lied to congress which is criminal. The studies show they clearly knew a lot more than they were admitting to about the impact they had and lied under oath.
The breaking the law bit comes in the form of an accusation to the SEC that Facebook misled investors by not disclosing that they are in fact not doing everything possible to combat the spread of extremism and radicalization through their platform as they claimed - that they decided to ignore this because it would impact their profits.

Misleading investors is a crime from what I understand, so if found guilty on that account, they did break the law. Now, if they will be found guilty is another matter. Personally I don't think they will even be prosecuted for it.
Potentially severe for leaking company IP. There are explicit legal protections for whistleblowing to the SEC but I don't believe there is anything protecting one's right to go to journalists with privileged information. However, Facebook would be 100% insane to press legal charges because that just drags this on even longer and reinforce the perception that they're bullies
This happened during the 1918 influenza pandemic as well. Rather, the overflow of casualties happened - not refrigerated shipping containers.

Samples of sick people were recovered for researching that strain of influenza by locating large graves which had been created where it remained cold enough to preserve the bodies. Until I'd heard that and lived through last year, the gravity of it all totally eluded me. It takes a lot before people start burying the dead in trenches; it's perhaps second to the worst case in which we can't even manage that. A scenario common to war but nothing else I can think of.

I've been so isolated from these kinds of circumstances for all of the pandemic, but I try to remind myself that it's exactly why lock downs and masks and all the hassle are actually completely reasonable. The alternative is incredibly dark, evidently.
What concrete information has been revealed that implicates Facebook in illegal behavior?

How does the "whistleblower"'s stated desires wrt goverment-mandated moderation standards differ from those articulated by representatives of the company itself? Such a framework would shift liability away from the company, possibly reduce their moderation load, and create a significant barrier for entry for potential competitors.
Considering most people consume fb/instagram via an algorithmic feed, hard to see either site as being "hands off."
I assume not all of it concerns relevant information. Therefore I ask myself why not leaking only information relevant to the public?

Two of the front page articles right now are about BGP - one about exploring it, one about playing Battleship over it. That seems... relevant?

But we all have to live in a world influenced by social media, Facebook is really the most overtly evil of them (What's Good for Zuck is Good for Zuck! seems to be their guiding principle lately - anything for more ZuckBucks), and as it comes out that they've known that what they're doing is evil, and continue doing it? This is relevant tech news.

And, yes, I'm exceedingly "negative" about social media anymore. The downsides in terms of ripping apart society outweigh the upsides of making a lot of money for a few people.
I hope not. While I can't comment on the video games (not as familiar) from what I've read, television and movie violence almost certainly does have a negative effect on the viewer, much like people were worried about in the 80s and 90s during that small moral panic. Unlike some hypothesized, it doesn't make us into cold-blooded murderers. But it does seem to result in higher levels of anxiety, distrust and fear of being murdered. Studies pretty reliably show an effect correlating how much someone watches violent movies and how much anxiety they have around experiencing interpersonal violence.

Yes, TV violence was a moral panic to some degree, and it's so easy to get carried away with thinking these are mind control boxes. But I'm kind of alarmed that we stopped talking about that angle almost entirely. (There may be similar issues with sexualized imagery. It doesn't make us hyper-promiscuous, but it may make us detest our bodies and induce unhealthy sexual jealousy.)
This is fun but I do wish papers would stop using "obvious" or "not difficult" so frequently. This paper has five uses of "obvious," 3 uses of "clear" or "clearly," a "should not be difficult," a "what can possibly be simpler?," and a "It is difficult to imagine that this algorithm was not discovered before."

Is this a particularly complex algorithm or proof? No. But it reads like the author was terrified that someone would be able to understand their paper simply by reading it once and worried that would make the author look dumb. That's backwards, though. Easy to understand concepts are a good thing.
>My counterpoint: it's revolutionary because it's the first ARM-based laptop which doesn't have to make a ton of compromises to make it out the door.

This should not be understated. You could hand an M1 Mac to anyone and unless they were technical and understood what you were handing them, they would neither know nor need to know that it has an entirely different CPU architecture.

It's totally transparent. Not one application did I try did it do anything other than just run as I would have expected. Heck the vast majority of x86 Windows software I tried - either under Crossover (commercially supported version of WINE) or in the Windows 10 ARM beta under Parallels - worked just fine.

And very speedily too. It was not apparent that emulation was going on - at all.

It really is quite astonishing. As they say, seeing is believing - in this case using is believing. The overall feel of the system is just not something that's easily to articulate. It's not just about running a benchmark or application quickly; the whole thing is just more responsive.

The only reason I took my M1 Macbook Air back on the last day of the return window was it turns out to do everything I want if it just had more RAM. Which was NOT my starting position; the M1 ran so well that I ended up realizing it could do everything I wanted and more if I could get at least 32GB of RAM - 64GB would be perfect.

So I'm rather impatiently awaiting the next round. As soon as I can get more RAM I'm so getting another Apple Silicon laptop!
