The most remarkable thing about this is learning that anyone at Google read an email from a customer. Given the automated responses to complaints of account shutdowns, or complaints about app store rejections, etc, this is pretty surprising.

Well the 2003 Northeast blackout was started by a power utility in Ohio, and took out most of the north-east USA and even Ontario -- making it an international outage.

The 2011 Southwest blackout was caused by a substation in Arizona, and took down power in large parts of California and Tijuana (another international one, fun).

There was apparently one in 2019 in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay that was started by a transmission line in Argentina.

Not super common, but more common than you'd think, power grids are very interconnected and weird.

It’s not deflection. You are pointing out magnification. It’s the same concept. Facebook just has far greater granularity in their ability to target and deliver personalized content. CNN and Fox News is still segmenting content and targeting users. That’s why they can both coexist. I am not arguing that Facebook isn’t far more sophisticated. Newspapers < CNN < CNN.com < Facebook.

Focusing too much on the personality of the whistleblower is in a sense getting sucked into the celebrity drama hole that will always take us away from consideration of the real issue.

In fact, I think being taken away from consideration of the real issue is a major consequence of the way this is being approached: nobody can debate with the obvious truth that teenagers are getting a little too sucked in to the fake world of influencers, and right now we're not discussing it, ironically.
When did you suffer because a government messed up the economy?
Character assassination is not done in one press release. It's done in a campaign of PRs and cossetting friendly journalists and newspapers.

Perhaps it's premature to call it character assassination, but we've seen this play out quite a few times.
You're getting downvoted, but you're not wrong. Here's a comment thread from 2016 with people making the same "early next year" claim.

We should also note that we can build contracts into the network itself. For example algorand built a contract to offset emissions through transaction fees (they are POS so have a lower footprint than POW). But there's no reason we couldn't build taxes into such a system as well.

I think a lot of people are missing that cryptocurrency is still a very new concept. Both the bulls and bears. It's going to take some time to work it all out and that's okay, just like with any technology. We're talking about something invented in 2008, that's 12 years. It's unsurprising that there's a lot of kinks to be worked out. It typically takes 20 years for a technology to start to mature. I mean hell, the internet is a lot older and we still have a lot of things to work out.

Will crypto be useful in the long run? Who knows. I think it holds some promise but I do think people vault over sell it and people also dismiss it too quickly.
really naive question:

why not run Parallels since it now uses the native macOS hypervisor.framework, and then Linux / Haiku / FreeBSD / whatever?

i thought of that as it somewhat outsources device driver digressions.
Same with contracts: you only need them when things go bad.

For all I know Haugen is not trans. But even if she was that doesn't preclude her from not being a critical social justice (CRT) activist, so that is not the most significant fact.

What she is aiming for by censorship of "hate speech" is CRT defined "inclusion" [1]. This means to not tolerate any speech (including symbolic displays or representation) that offends, might offend, or could be construed as being potentially offensive to any member of any marginalized group.

Members of putatively marginalized groups [2] who do not claim to experience or suffer from the oppression critical social justice activists assign to them are dismissed as inauthentic.

So in the end inclusion by censoring "hate speech" is a tool to ensure censorship of any opposing viewpoint.

This took about a year and a half – a little over a year coding in between experiments and training.

It's a chess engine with a primary neural network just like AlphaZero or Leela Chess Zero's, but it adds on a secondary "commentary decoder" network based on Transformer architecture to comment on positions and moves. All of the code and data for training and search is from scratch, although it does use Stockfish code to generate legal moves and manage chess positions.

You can watch it play on Lichess here: https://lichess.org/@/PlayChessCoach/tv or challenge it here: https://lichess.org/?user=PlayChessCoach#friend, and see its commentary in spectator chat. It only plays one game at a time, so you may need to wait a little bit. It's fairly strong (~3450 rating, roughly on par with Stockfish 12 or SlowChess Blitz 2.7), but you can set up a position when challenging it so that it's missing a couple pawns or a piece (Variant: From Position).

I've never had a phone. I suppose it's harder if I ever had one but since I never had to give up the conveniences, I don't really have a problem with it.
Hi, looks super interesting, I'm signing up!

Is there any chance you would consider offering some sort of "course completion certificate" with number of hours? I'd be interested in getting these hours credited as Continuing Professional Development for my P.Eng. board. I'd of course be willing to pay a fee for this (which I could get reimbursed by my employer).
How is my argument a strawman?
I'm not quite sure the flavor of your problems, but I imagine some of them were caused be the confusion between v1beta1 and v1 apis. Users would continue to use beta versions of APIs despite the availability of the GA APIs.

Hopefully this becomes easier with the beta lifecycle policy: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2020/08/21/moving-forward-from-be...

Unfortunately this also means you'll see similar issues in the short term.

One way to avoid these might be to opt for only GA k8s APIs for your infra.
there is no source. you are seeing firsthand Facebook shills trying to discredit her. fuck Facebook and zuck the cuck
> These are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, both of which are elected by people democratically.

Do you know a single person who, in their entire lives, has ever voted for either their President or their Senator primarily on the basis of Federal Reserve Board appointments? Most voters don't even know the constitutional duties of the President. Presidential candidates are (mostly) front men for unaccountable groups of oligarchs who can't easily be removed.
It's a UAE company with a custom encryption protocol, e2ee off by default, and no e2ee for group chat. You're damn right it's a honeypot.

Use Signal or Element/Matrix.
You aren't forced to use crypto because fiat exists. If fiat would be replaced by crypto, you would be forced.
Crypto is not democratic, it's redundant and it heavily biased towards the one with most resources. It's an oligarchy.
The Supreme Court only upheld the fairness doctrine in situations where spectrum was limited (Red Lion Broadcasting vs FCC). Even at the time the fairness doctrine wasn't really applicable to mediums in which bandwidth/spectrum is not limited and not licensed to specific broadcasters.

It's not clear to me how this kind of regulation would be justified to the Supreme Court in regards to the Internet.
It is WhatsApp and Messenger users who were moving, if you need to talk to someone right now and the platform both of you were using is not working for hours, then it is not surprising people moved to another platform quickly, especially if phone calls/sms are not feasible (expensive/international/no video etc)

Few people have that much brand loyalty to delay communication with all their friends and family when a platform is down for so long and there is viable alternative available.

It is not because they ideologically cared either way, they just want a platform that is easy to use and other person is ready use as well.
I don't think this really makes sense. I agree that you could characterize things like soldering on RAM and storage, or gluing the battery in, as user-hostile (because that means the user can't repair or replace or upgrade), but changing the interface used by a component that's already integrated just won't matter to any user (at least one that is staying in the Apple ecosystem). This sort of thing only matters to people who want to run Linux or Windows (or something else) on Apple hardware.

> The fanboys have arrived. Factual discussion will not be tolerated. Downvotes shall commence without comment!

Please don't do this. Complaining about downvotes is a waste of time, and ultimately detracts further from what you're trying to say.
What would a developed civilization do? I doubt we would be able to prevent the “bubble up and close the door” behavior, so should it also ensure that corporations are regularly rotated (ie dismantled for others to take the space) so only those which can succeed fairly in the current law framework would survive?
What a heavily editorialized statement for something that isn't marked as opinion. The whole article reeks of being written by someone who literally hates Facebook.

And the use of the term "God's own truth" feels like a really underhanded and unjustified rhetorical trick. To use a analogy, It feels like they are declaring a winner during the opening argument of the prosecution, before the defense has even had a chance to fully respond: "If Facebook had evidence, it would show it." Doesn't the author realize that kind of counter evidence will come later?
Don't use it for e2e, then? There are plenty other solutions for incredibly sensitive chats (Signal, Tox, etc)

I think Telegram is a good trade off for group chats, personally. It's feature rich compared to others.
Again, I agree with you on this point as well and it's got my spidey-senses tingling like crazy that the whole thing is a work.

I've long been in the ban social media completely camp. It's a tool too dangerous for use by regular people.
Cryptocurrencies advertise themselves as democratic, but in reality they're only as democratic as a corporate shareholder vote. Only those with shares can vote, and more shares = more votes.

You may view state control on economic activity as authoritarian, but that's a pretty extreme view. I personally think that a democratically elected government should be able to control the economy when necessary, even if I don't always agree on how that control is applied. Otherwise, power will inevitably accumulate in increasingly large corporations, to the detriment of everyone else.
From my experience, many friends in Iran strongly prefer Telegram even though it is blocked there are WhatsApp (inexplicably, since they are nearly the same service) isn't. So there does seem to be some brand loyalty in the chat market besides for convenience.

I suspect in general their losses were far greater in chat than in Instagram. Most students in the US use both Insta and Snap already and just have some overlapping and some different content on each, so I don't think one being down for a day will seriously bug anyone enough to stop using it.
Bitcoin's hashrate is currently 98+%[1] incentivized by inflation. As that decreases over the next few halvings, unless transaction fees exponentially increase accordingly, Bitcoin's security may not be such a selling point any longer.

Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness drops 6 months after 2nd dose: study
i agree, legislating morality has never worked. However, legislation to inform the consumer has worked.

Social media should be forced to inform the consumer when/how they're being targeted. When a user is shown 15 pieces of content it should be crystal clear the platform is trying to tease out an emotional response from them and not just showing them their friend's posts. Maybe a warning label like "This content was algorithmically curated to elicit the maximum emotional response from you".
They aren't if you chat with someone who isn't on an iphone.

My problem with telegram is, 60% of my friends joined when whatsapp changed terms. After that I got no messages. Essentially most of them are dormant. It would be great to find out the percentage of active users in Telegram vs Whatsapp.
That's because the educated don't want to just "do" , they want to be successful at it.

The most ambitious want to be "world class good at it" . Hence nothing gets ever started because it seems like an unsurmountable mountain to climb.

But there is a silver lining. The possibility of exploring social relationships.

With regards to social relationships it doesn't really matter if you are having a party in Beverly Hills or in Des Moines.

It's exactly the same thing.
We have 2 tables that are good candidates for Timescales, others are fine with Postgres.

Yes. At this point in the world we need not take anyone's word for what a corpus says or does not say. Either the data, query, and processing exist and are documented or they may as well be making things up.

This is traditional right wing ideology, it has always been like this, only the excuses have changed.
Source?

DNS errors are actually still cached; it's something that has been debunked by DJB like a couple of decades ago, give or take:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/third-party.html

> RFC 2182 claims that DNS failures are not cached; that claim is false.

Here are some more recent details and the fuller explanation:

https://serverfault.com/a/824873

Note that FB.com currently expires its records in 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes.

PowerDNS (used by ordns.he.net) caches servfail for 60s by default — packetcache-servfail-ttl — which isn't very far from the 5min that you get when things aren't failing.

Personally, I do agree with DJB — I think it's a better user experience to get a DNS resolution error right away, than having to wait many minutes for the TCP timeout to occur when the host is down anyways.
I don't really like this paradox, since censorship is always justified in the name of protecting society. "We have to censor criticism of the king/the church/communism/etc, since they hold our country together". Plus, its very easy to say "My ideology is very tolerant, therefore by definition anyone who disagrees with me is intolerant".
Is telegram better than signal? I vaguely remember hearing about Telegram having nefarious roots so I never investigated further.

I mean it's pretty obvious why they're targeting Facebook and not the other big Internet companies.

Facebook is the only one still allowing far-right speech on their platform. That is why the Democrats are going after them.
Most of the discussion about "eliminating" and/or taxing cryptocurrency are about trying to reduce the use of cryptocurrencies within developed countries where they are not needed.

Nobody here is trying to stop people in authoritarian states from using crypto.

Bringing up the authoritarian states is just a strawman.

I have a lot of issues with the things Apple chooses to do, but I think "user hostility" is an incorrect interpretation.

They have a very specific customer set in mind and they optimize for that really well. Its unfortunate that they don't cater to every market, but they definitely aren't "hostile" to their primary market.
