Please act in good faith. I did hear about that EO, but it did not do anything along what the original commenter said. There is no EO to allow 'people' to 'silence and cancel' others. Such an EO does not exist. There is an EO asking for administrative reworking of section 230.

> Nothing ever went into effect, it would have run afoul of the First Amendment, and it made demands US gov agencies that are statutorily outside presidential control.

So you admit you're comparing a theoretical 'cancellation' that was successfully prevented by checks and balances to actual cancellations that had no checks or balances?

Even trivial ephemeral records from a long time ago are incredibly useful to historians for what they give away about the time - tools, politics, morality; all are encoded inadvertently in the simplest text on any subject.

The Rosetta Stone for example is an incredibly boring text about taxes on religious organisations, but it proved to be rather useful.
My major struggle in Linux (Ubuntu) is with audio.

1. I have an external USB microphone. Works fine (most of the time, see below), except it's always a default device for both input and output. I don't understand why. I expect my extrnal speakers to be the output source if nothing else is plugged in. I have to often manually change the output source.

2. Sometimes I want to use headphones. And sometimes when I plug them in, the output doesn't switch to the headphones. So I have to do it manually. Occasionally it still doesn't work and the sound continues playing through the speakers.

3. Happened to me a few times - my USB microphone disappears completely from the device list. Even though the light is on. Unplugging and replugging doesn't work either; only a complete reboot does.

I even have a custom bash command that restarts pulseaudio. I'm using it more often than I should.
I don't disagree with that sentiment.

I was looking at perhaps a different scenario, one that might have unfolded like this:

Person A: "I have been tasked with putting together a social network."

Person B: "Well we could base it on Mastadon, it's open source, that is what Gab did. That would save us some time."

Person A: "Great let's do that."

Person B: "We will need to comply with the licensing restrictions for Mastadon though it means giving our changes back to the community."

Person A: "Oh, I don't like that at all, what's our alternative?"

Person B: "Well we could write a new system from scratch but it will take us at least 6 months to get to where these existing systems are."

Person A: "Hmm, that doesn't fit our timeline, how about this, we use the Mastadon code, tell everyone it is our own code, and get rid of any references to Mastadon in the code. Then nobody comes after us and we can be up and running before the 2022 elections season starts in earnest."

Person B: "But that would be dishonest and wrong."

Person A: "Is that what your replacement will say?"

Person B: <grumble><grumble>

Person A: "Okay, since we have agreement let's get to it."

Not sure if you intentionally missunderstood, but the point was, that you probably would be able to make some sense of 1000 year old english, but that is about the border.

It depends on the culture of course. There are old cultures with the same references like a bible, that might cover longer timeframes of understanding.
Servo was built and run more as a useful browser technique sandbox than a future standalone product.
Other comments have given ways to physically archive the webpage. Continually hosting it is a much trickier endeavor. Beyond just keeping the servers up, technologies will shift such that eventually html webpages, servers that talk using tcp/ip, datacenters that connect via fiber cables, etc will all be deprecated.

That said, if we have a very liberal definition of the word "website" to include any successor technologies where a device can be used to request a document, given an identifier, that looks recognizably like your webpage, this is doable. What you really need is an institution that you can trust to keep existing and to keep the necessary upkeep of your website as part of its mission.

The main institutions I can think of that have lasted for 500 years unbroken are churches and elite universities. If you were able to convince the Pope to decree that the church should keep hosting your webpage in perpetuity, that would likely work, but persuading him of that sounds very challenging. That said, universities are used to accepting gifts with sometimes eccentric strings attached. The gift will probably need to be large; but I imagine a $1B donation to Harvard under a condition that they continue to host and update the page as needed would likely work. Getting that sort of money is quite hard, but tbh probably easier than coming with a way of guaranteeing that your direct descendents keep the webpage up.
Yes, correct. I think the bottom line is that on some level we celebrate growth and popularity, but it seems to strangle more nuanced, meaningful discussion and community-building.

Precisely. As long as the planet does not overheat, a warmer planet is a better planet.
Being able to rattle off exactly how any particular data structure is implemented isn't useful for most developers. Being able to reason about algorithms and data structures _is_ useful in day-to-day development. And that does start with having a basic understanding of some subset of them.

You can clearly see the impact of computational ignorance on the modern web. JS engines have been optimized to hell and back and there are _still_ sites out there that are godawful slow for no good reason at all.

That was before it was seen as a potential national security issue.

Semiconductors could end up like the US defense industry, which the US feeds with a continuous amount of money (recession or not) and is not outsourced for obvious reasons - but its products are sold to others; other countries outsource to the US. The US buys military tech on occasion but rarely ever directly buy the hardware in significant numbers - they will manufacture it in-house. It's great if it turns a profit but that's not the point.

Every country has their own defense industry if they can afford it.

An emphatic attempt to say that a correct answer to a simple question either "doesn't matter", or is an obsessive hyperfixation, or is a failure to understand The Real Lesson is a lot of combat to engage in, all for the meager returns of taking a simple yes-or-no question and turning it into an unfocused derail.

Colbert really did coin the term and it really is that simple. You seem to just want to take a question about where a quote came from and turn it into a broader conversation about the history of the 2000s, which is all well and good but.... it's just not an answer to what was being asked.

I wouldn't be so confident, I had my fair share of crappy drivers on windows as well to the point if that the hardware is old, there's a good chance that it will run smoother on Linux.

Public employees also by and large receive better benefits and work boundaries. The just in time logistics model, for example relies on abusing employees. So yea, government isn't going to be as fast as amazon, because they treat there employees way more like humans.

Sort of. They have been in force in some states for some applications (like K-12 schools) for some vaccines. Many of those states have also had broad exemptions for philosophical or religious reasons (https://vaccines.procon.org/state-vaccination-exemptions-for...). But we haven't had a federal mandate for vaccination across the board (in public agencies, private companies, events, stores, schools, universities, etc), especially without exemptions.

Even with that precedent, I feel the Jacbosen ruling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts) which enabled vaccine mandates was an incorrect one and that autonomy over one's physical body is the most basic level of civil liberty. The ACLU also agreed previously and pushed back on vaccine mandates (https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/privacy/pemic_...), although the more recent ACLU supports vaccine mandates and treats civil liberties as a gray area rather than a principled right.
Oh. You assume that in 500 years there will still be fish.
The problem isn't with the methodology itself but with how it's implemented in practice. Lean makes your buffers a lot more visible to management, and if you combine that with a culture of short-sighted cost-cutting, you run into issues. The problem isn't lean; it's a management culture of short-sighted cost-cutting.

No, but it would be good to understand the intentions of the original comment. It feels like the author meant to communicate something but because of how vague it is, it feels like it was worse than having no comment.

If you had searched for "computer network" you would have found it. It's in section 13, "13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.":

Being unable to get a pay raise from your current employer often boils down to one of two reasons:

1. You're not negotiating effectively -- a skill you can improve upon

2. You're not worth as much as you think you are (e.g. low margin industry, company doing poorly, part of a low impact team etc, or maybe you're just not very good at $whatever skill the company needs).

Only #2 is a good reason to jump ship and try your luck elsewhere. Over the years I've learnt how to negotiate a fair remuneration. It's not easy, and it can definitely be uncomfortable at first. But in the end, it's totally worth it.
My specialty in undergrad was 15th and 16th century poetry. His contemporaries' writing (and writings from the early 15th c.) was no harder to read than Shakespeare.¹ The biggest challenge would be the irregularities of spelling—before the printing press and for at least a century afterwards, English spelling was inconsistent and flexible (and frequently was left up to the compositor for printed materials which led to different spellings for a word in the same document to make line breaks work better).

Yeah, my read from the article was that someone had found McGee's tome and grabbed the section on meat cooking.

I had to fix my car once - the defroster wasn't working - and the bill came out wayyy higher than I had expected - like $1100 on a car that was probably only worth 3 or 4k by my estimates. I was pretty unhappy and I was trying to figure out where the breakdown had occurred. The dealer had talked to me about some complications they had run into and some options they could pursue to fix the heater, and I had given my approval. But I hadn't put together the labor rate and time spent. Was it my fault for not asking? If I had known up front I would have thought twice about sinking 1k into a 3k car. Ultimately I think the dealer held the power in that situation and while it was my fault, the dealer certainly didn't help make it clear. Anyways, that's how you lose trust and business.
the OS landscape is pretty grim in 2021 in general:

- Some Linux distros are getting pretty usable, but there are also still plenty of rough edges and limited support for certain apps. It's understandable because the community is under-resourced.

- After having last used Windows XP, I was astounded at the lack of polish and QA on Windows 10. It seems that I encounter some bug or UX mess every time I use it. And this is supposed to be the 'good' iteration in their good/bad release cycle?

- MacOS is tied to expensive hardware which you may or may not want. The new M1 arch also makes it less useful for web dev work.
I think Rivian might be able to pull it off.

On the contrary. Law in most places gives religion credit above arbitrary and capricious.

If I want to murder an animal in particular way, wear a hat for license photo, take time off work, interact with people in a specific way, get exceptions or accommodations in workplace, restaurants, schools, public institutions, or do any number of things that may or may impact others, for any number of arbitrary and capricious reasons, I may receive a negative answer. But that answer changes solely because I append "because my religion tells me so".

My method reminds me there isn't actually some different less arbitrary reasoning automatically worth of respect and consideration. I just really want it.

In other words, I am not claiming (here) religion is more arbitrary. I am saying it is no less arbitrary, and due to my cultural conditioning and social norms in Western world, it takes conscious effort to remind myself of that.

> Imo it shows that they don't have popular support within Facebook at all.

This is correct. There's a huge amount of internal dissent. There are internal protests and letters to the CEO.

But the dissent means nothing (except, as you say, in the rare instance of a leak) because Zuckerberg has 100% control of the company. There are even reports that Sandberg has been sidelined over time as Zuckerberg has consolidated decision-making for himself.
That would be the case if it was under boring ol' normal GPLv3. However, it is not; it's under the AGPL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License

If they've changed it at all, they'll need to release that.

When I asked for help for my sound (in linux its only 50% volume and sounds like its a cheap speaker inside of a tin can) I was blamed for:

- Using a laptop

- The brand of laptop

- The audio hardware of my laptop (its their fault, not the kernels "generic" driver)

Then was told to either carry around an external DAC + Speakers or buy a desktop with a "proper" audio card.

It was the first time in 6 years I'd installed Linux and it lasted less than a week.

The thing is, Linux distros make it super easy to check if your HW will work. Just download the distro you want, transfer to a USB stick. Reboot your PC with it and check any connected HW. If it works with the live system, it will work when installed on the PC.
