The entire privacy industry is a bit of scam. Ranging from vpns to things like brave browser to email providers, almost everyone is just trying to make a quick buck in exchange for things of questionable value. Worst are the youtube influencers and websites who will peddle things endlessly.
First, can you indicate what specific Ethiopian law Facebook violated by deleting the prime minister's post?

Second, since to my knowledge Facebook doesn't maintain a physical presence in Ethiopia, can you explain how and why it is subject to Ethiopia's local laws?

If Ethiopia feels that Facebook is in violation of its local laws, it can block access to its services.

> Otherwise I would prefer FB stay neutral (e.g. not taking any action).

Facebook has a policy against posts that incite violence. There is a reasonable moral basis for not staying "neutral" when a user calls for violence against others. Even if that user is the prime minister of a country.
You can use rseq on linux to avoid this.
What? This thread is about why Twitter has escaped (much) media criticism, not why Facebook has received it.
I'm skeptical on the widespread adoption of ZB's "metaverse" on the grounds that most people simply prefer spending time in reality as opposed to wearing a headset and getting lost in a 3d world, and it isn't a matter of tech/hardware but rather human nature.

But I watched the top video on your twitter page and I appreciate your enthusiasm and down-to-earth explanation of how you see value in the idea.

The TAM with just gaming is huge and that use case alone makes sense to me, but does rely on interoperability to be useful from the consumer perspective as you discussed.

I don't see any incentive whatsoever for existing big tech companies like FB to build an interoperable metaverse unless they retain significant/dominant control over it. In Facebook's case, their entire business is premised on being a walled garden, but they love when people build games and apps within that garden!

In any case I'll have to think about the notion of portals and portable avatars further & will follow your progress!
Assuming func() doesn’t have side effects, sure. But if the point was to gate func() to only run before deadline this doesn’t really help.
This characterization is ridiculous. Following the form does not make you “somewhat democratic,” nor does calling oneself Democratic People’s Republic.

In addition, “the secular executive branch” comment is flat out wrong. The executive branch and candidates for presidency are explicitly obligated to believe and follow Islamic and Sharia laws.

Absolutely this!

I did a migration/update of a site using this idea (before styled-components became the norm), and it was just insane how much CSS was saved. The new design was AT MOST half the size of the original.
Depends on the shop. SBIR farms that have never commercialized a single product are terrible. Ones that have a revenue stream are fine.
Intent definitely matters in this case. Like, if these end up on Amazon or eBay and you buy one at a market rate you are pretty safe. If you saw a “too good to be true deal” and proceeded, it gets murkier.
I am not sure how much I have learned from podcasts, however they have offered a great deal of onboarding information about various technologies I have later picked up.

That’s been valuable to me because basic familiarity with something is a major step toward using it. Good hosts and guests have a casual style you don’t have to work to parse.

I also remember some portions of podcasts that end up not only relevant, but containing valuable context only available in that episode.

One example recently was the creator of Flask reflecting on what the community was now doing that he would not have done.

I transcribed some of this into the thread and I’m sure it would not have been something he would have put in a blog post. It wasn’t bad, but it was earnest and offered an emotional touch only the person affected by the experience could offer.
The Metaverse IS existing companies. There are literally hundreds of thousands working on the decentralized components of the future Metaverse. None of them work for Mark Zuckerberg, however.

Thanks for the rec. Their music has a pretty laid back vibe.

I think the categories overall capture a lot of categories. It would be nice to see parks and what you can do in them (i.e. basketball court, kids play structure, hiking trails, etc) but I have no idea how easy that information is to surface :)

A couple suggestions I would make are:

- combine reoccurring events. For example: https://www.airovic.com/los-angeles/street-markets-in-los-an... shows each of the farmers markets over and over. It drowns out the fact that there are multiple farmers markets in the same weekend. Maybe a quick fix would be to sort by date?

- have a concept of "distance from me". It doesn't have to be a map, but at least being able to say "within X miles of 'bleh' " would make things easier to see what is nearby.

- have a link to the information source. For example, if I want to see more details about a festival or concert, I don't see how to do so currently. If you start with it now you can work out over time how to transparently change the links to referral links and get some $$ like you are doing with the stay options.
This is why humans will never solve climate change.

Thousands of years ago the Bible said humans would "ruin the earth" (Revelation 11:18) [1].

I'm not holding my breath to see humans stop the process.

There seems to be no way to go green that won't face opposition.

As soon as an idea starts to gain traction, protesters consistently surface.

I'm sure if rooftop solar exploded, there would be concern about the loss of roof habitat for insects, bats, birds, or rodents.

Or the concerns would mount that birds are getting lost because solar panels are reflecting too much sunlight and creating a giant mirror effect over the city.

Point is, it's easy to protest. Much harder to solve real problems.

But protesters often play an outsized role in outcomes for even the best technologies and best laid plans.

Like any other candidate. Referrals still have to go through the same process.
I used to be a bit like that. Now I write out the things that were physically true about whatever a disconcerting memory is pointing to, avoiding sentences/grammar/style/references to emotions etc.

I think any emotion held long-term is definitely distorted, if not stigmatic.
You don't seem to understand that this has nothing to do with the actual payment of taxes. Businesses don't pay for the tax on cigarettes, it is passed directly to the consumer. The elasticity of demand can be such that the consumer just incurs $1,000 higher costs. So the $1,000 in payments don't provide you a benefit, it merely allows you to live the same life.

This is unfortunately almost certainly bunk. There is a large selection and survivorship bias. To be an 85+ yo and be alive with an organ transplant you have to be pretty special. That generally means you have kept your transplant for at least 30 years and survived the early days of suboptimal immunosuppressants and perioperative care. Also transplant recipients are managed very carefully by their physicians, who constantly tweak their medication, blood pressure, blood sugar etc. Also people who manage to live with their transplants for long periods are presumably highly selected for diligence, education, wealth, compliance, mental health etc.
I still catch "EGA" when I read it occasionally, even with lots of time with EVGA as a brand.

I think it has more to do with impact and experience than how recent something is.

Example: I spent a lot of time reading the phrases 'EGA' or 'VGA' in my life, much more so than I ever dealt with the brand 'EVGA'. When my eyes cruise over those letters together, something in my head always trips the concept 'EGA/VGA' first, even though I have known for years and year that EVGA is a brand and that EGA/VGA are now obsolete phrases.

I don't know why that is , and maybe that's exactly the concept that parent was trying to get across : when you get older your brain tends to keep certain biases that were built during an earlier (now obsolete) era, even when they serve no real good purpose anymore -- likely because that concept was so exercised mentally at an earlier time.

Now, if I were an actuary or accountant or business person working for EVGA and I had to write their name out 100+ times daily, i'd probably be singing a different tune.
Of the 35 people I can see on linkedIn:

ROTOR was never production-quality though - I think it was there as a proof-of-concept and to try to convince some university professors to consider it as an alternative to JVM.

> It may not meet your needs

Objectively, milling beds need strength and rigidity. The common expression is, "Your machine needs to be as strong as the stock you're cutting."

This design has neither.

The only good thing I can say is that you can learn how the software works so you can build a real machine later.
I first learned about Tries when I implemented a spell checker, almost 20 years ago now, with basic suggestions. It’s amazing how easy it is to get an efficient, 80% spell checker and recommendation engine implemented from scratch once you dig into it. Tries make for an efficient enough in memory lookup structure (space, storage, and compute), and are an obvious part of a suggestion engine as well. Coupled with a basic soundex and some word mangling + edit distance checking and you have a very functional system. Solving the last 20% takes an order of magnitude more work :)
Umm, yeast is a common surface flora on many cheeses (probably all natural rind cheeses), and you can in fact buy packets of Debaryomyces Hansenii and Candida Utilis from Danisco specifically for use in cheese. Source: I'm involved in cheesemaking.
Well if you have come to terms with what led you to those actions, it shouldn't be a problem to revisit them. You'll reflect the attitude in your demeanor.
You’re expecting an audience with a lot of power if you’re asking such things. I don’t think the majority of the readers of this comment can afford to take such risks, and if they do it’s unlikely to get them anywhere. Power corrupts. What do you mean you can engineer processes? How will you get anybody to follow your rules? Your comment ranges from naïve to unhinged.

I think this is good advice but it is often hard to find podcasts that approach a topic with sufficient detail. I have also used listennotes for this, and still do from time to time, but I have started to search Youtube for lectures more. Any topic + lecture. Someone speaking to an audience for 30-60 minutes has worked best for me.

Yes, but it only takes a second to realize that people are going to continue paying for apples from somewhere else. Electronics will come from overseas. What goes away are discretionary items for the poorest portion of the population. So, to prevent this, you need to pay low income people so that they are unaffected. But then you've just created a system with marginal desired effect and tons of dead weight.

>CRT scholars view race and white supremacy as an intersectional social construct[7] that advances the interests of white people[11] at the expense of persons of other races

I feel like you're playing a game of sophistry when you try to suggest that this isn't equivalent to blaming inequities on white supremacy. And when all of the outreach efforts are almost exclusively aimed at white people, when all of the "dismantling" comes almost exclusively in the form of shaming or forcing whites to abdicate power that is claimed to be unearned, then it doesn't matter how cleverly CRT is defined in polite conversation; in practice it's dishonest to suggest that white supremacy is the problem, white people are the practicioners, white people must effectively pay the price (by ceding their "privilege"), but somehow CRT isn't actually about blaming white people for racism.

It's also telling (and convenient) that all of this talk of racism falls exclusively into the category of white on minority racism, lending credence to the vicious lie that only white people can be racist.

And for some reason the loudest voices in the field (e.g. deangelo, kendi) explicitly and solely demonize white people and white culture. It doesn't matter how carefully you attempt to deflect from what CRT "really is" when it is so trivially and ubiquitously weaponized against whites in a petty, revenge seeking powergrab. When it is only white men who are expected to attend Kafkaesque reeducation seminars and apologize for their "whiteness". There is no excuse, no suitable apologism, no clever deflection that can hide what CRT is in theory, because there is always one inevitable application in practice, and this blatant, toxic anti white sentiment is fundamentally the essence of CRT. And that is why it has no business influencing what children are learning in school.
I've come across a few hierarchical consensus protocol papers. AFAIU, you'll gain immensely in terms of local latency but lose in terms of global latency.

But yeah, something in this space would be very interesting. For example Kubernetes and nomad deploy multiple container pods per machine. Instead of sending heartbeats from each pod it would make sense to batch heartbeats of all pods in each machine and send a single beat instead.

This is the way.

I've thought long and hard about how to kind of insulate my kids from GUIs as they grow up. I'd love for them to view computers mostly as tools for organizing information and learning. I don't want them to see it as a means for entertainment—that will come for sure, but I'd like to delay that as long as possible. Better to let kids learn to play in the dirt outside than get stuck inside, IMO.
Just to clarify, haven’t seen it in others’ post, Ethiopia’s PM, Abiy Ahmed, has escalated rounding up ethnic Tigrayans to be slaughtered/sent to concentration camps over the past week after a major city was captured nearing the capital. He’s currently nearing the end of a war that he appears to have been fantasizing about long before he (mostly) instigated it. It’s blown up in his face, and you may as well start a pool as to when he flees the country at this point. So, I think an ivory tower debate over what Facebook has a right to do is a little over the top here. Honestly, Facebook may have saved lives by deleting posts like this, and the a$&hat who is largely to blame for destroying his country will not be PM for much longer, so the concern is mostly moot.

This is child abuse to benefit the elderly. Exactly backwards from how it should be IMO. This vaccine does nothing to improve health outcomes for children as the virus almost always spares the young. There are a vanishingly small number of children who have died from COVID, unless they had other underlying conditions. This isn't based on science. It is based on politics and dogma.
virtually exclusively white males.

Completely wrong. In 1900 a greater percentage of women than men graduated high school. Furthermore, while I couldn't find graduation rates by race for 1900, school enrollment by race shows white children were less than twice as likely to be enrolled than black children, 55% and 30%. Far from equal but also far from "virtually only white males".

We're an authorization API company, so we may not be representative, but it definitely comes up, even in the context of early-stage SaaS startups that are selling into larger accounts.

> When did you decide that it's time to get it done?

It's certainly a pain, but somewhat ironically, the smaller / younger your company is, the easier it is to institute some of the processes than if you wait until you're larger.

There are companies out there (hyperproof.io is one of them) that sell SaaS products that help you streamline the workflow for ISO, SOC2, et al.

Just to put into perspective, maintaining a full browser (with its own engine etc) costs at minimum $300M/year (judging by the size of Chrome/Firefox/Safari's teams). That means that 300k users would need to pay more than $80 a MONTH to make that sustainable. That's insane.

Having a dept of 1 engineer is not great [1]. You'd want ideally 3 or 4. Whick is kinda no-man's-land between 50k and 500k. Say 125k,which would get you good, but not stellar. (and would be an improvement over 10 somewhat incompetent.)

[1] having just 1 creates lots of bigger issues ;

Availability (what happens when he's sick or on vacation).

Technical documentation (there is none, its all in his head).

Role transfer (when he leaves there is short intense handover, then nothing).

Opinioned design - he does it his way, no discussion necessary - some will be good, but some will be bad.

When he leaves, you can't replace him. 500k engineers won't work for a place where you just maintain the system the last guy designed and wrote - they want to design and write their own stuff from scratch.

I could go on, but programming depts of 1 are usually a bad idea...

The pen read the x/y strobe timer, and knew where you were on the screen by when the light hit and its exterior knowledge of the screen refresh)
