The interesting thing is that 'the industry' or a specific company doing obviously evil things is nothing but people. Somr researchers and spin doctors found the arguments. Some marketing expert(s) compiled that text. Another put it in a layout. Another signed off. Another contracted the print. Another printed. None of them took action to stop it - else we wouldn't see it today.

The evil underlying modern American legal and ethical systems is the weird understanding of a company as a concrete thing. This means none of the people that took the steps above ever faced (or even feared) liability.

If a company wants to quickly bootstrap a marketplace for cosmetic items like CS:GO on steam, is minting NFT's a cheaper and faster solution for the offering company? If so, I guess it could kind of work, but the friction of setting up all the necessary things to actually purchase an NFT is way too much right now. Not to mention a successful marketplace would almost certainly incentivize Ubisoft to just create their own centralized market place on Uplay.
The last point you made was exactly the problem when I attempted an experiment to migrate a heavy-IO MongoDB workload to DocumentDB - the latter imploded like a dying star after flipping the switch (under the hood it seems to be running a postgres/aurora-like storage layer). Implementation details matter, wiredtiger being one of the largest details.
From a legal perspective, corporations are people too. Age ratings for games are voluntary, not legally required. The Supreme Court has held that governments can impose some limits and requirements on purely commercial speech, but those precedents don't apply to censorship decisions made by private companies. The fact that a site contains mostly user generated content is legally irrelevant.

I understand that some people don't like this situation but that is the reality of US federal law today. It won't change without a Constitutional amendment, or a major realignment of the Supreme Court.
Exactly. Try buying something like an SD card or external SSD drive. 99% of the listings are fake. Even if you stick to legit branded products you might have to spend 30 minutes to find the listing with the lowest price because somehow it hides from the search and you can only find it by click through related items on other products.
It's simple: What's the company's response to the tool?

Is it a percentage of the money saved? Absolutely not.

Is it a raise? Unlikely.

Is it a pat on the back? Maybe.

Is it more work, and a lot of pain supporting the tool in ways it was never meant to be used? Absolutely.

And it'll also mean a larger workload and more stress now that the company knows how much easier the job is now.

With that outlook, why would they share it? It makes their life better and easier as it is, and releasing the tool is all or mostly negative.
I am amazed that there is such misunderstanding of PowerShell.

I partially blame Microsoft because of their idea to aggressively recommend non-aliased PowerShell for EVERYTHING (it backfires entire decade and they still do it, along with the army of "MVP"s, which is amazing head in the sand behavior when entire Internet bitch about it) and because they obviously don't manage user education well.

I then blame everybody else for not RTFM and always complaining about the same nonsense: verbosity, performance, missing short circuit bashizm etc.

Seriously people - PowerShell is one of the best inventions since the first computer that you can use on any OS. If you didn't grok it, its about ====> YOU <==== not about PowerShell.

Once the only real issue is solved (performance is not greatest, but not too bad either), it would border to incompetence to not put it by default on any OS.

A GAN's smooshed rendition of the closing line of every documentary. This style is distinctly le redditour.

What exactly is your background?

Regardless, nobody paid to make Americans dislike government, and if you crack open a history book you'll find that governments did that themselves. I'd recommend you start with the reasons for the bill of rights.

Well until you have to try getting keybinds working using a Mac OS running a windows Citrix environment. That’s where I gave up.
Then it's the same. And the only bad thing is that it's Ubisoft and not the PC game market monopolist doing it.
The person running the Maxwell tracking account ran that account too (per their Gab) -- so whatever they were doing to get banned (they apparently had 200k followers a few days after creating their account, so they likely had paid bots) ensnared both.

>Twitter's motives to suspend an account for reporting court proceedings

It's clear Twitter suspended the account for TOS violations, and not the subject matter.

I have no dog in this fight, do not follow the case, but a quick search of Twitter yielded these not-suspended accounts that are "reporting court proceedings" as you say:

https://twitter.com/USvMaxwell
https://twitter.com/Trial_Tracker
https://twitter.com/CultStateDotCom
https://twitter.com/MaxwellTrial

There are dozens at first glance.

There is even a trial tracker tracker...

https://twitter.com/CensorTracker

So, @hxkandbe's request that we use the suspended account's blog post about the suspension to add some context and clarity is in no way suppressing the discussion, but instead seeking to elevate and inform it.
I bet there's a social anthropology or psychology paper somewhere in there explaining how for some people this isn't obvious.
Exactly, a classic 95:95 scenario. You can build 95% of the functionality for yourself pretty quickly but getting it to work for 20+ people will end up constituting 95% of the total labor if you choose to do it. There has to be a serious reason to take that on. If nobody's asking for it it doesn't feel like a smart use of company time or personal energy. Thats been my approach at my current company and it's kept me in a pretty positive / non-toxic place with the rest of our staff so far.

That said the original comment doesn't seem to be coming at this purely from an angle of practicality.

It's not unproductive and it's clearly poking fun.

"Had one bad experience, never did it again" is, to put it bluntly, immature.

"Only do things that immediately result in a positive experience" is a great recipe for a life and career that descends into grey nothingness.

This surely can't be true for the typical image-based NFTs? I thought the entire point is that the full JPEG is embedded in the blockchain, thus not being dependent on any image hosting service.
I think people are misunderstanding what I said. CF could have tested their rust implementation against Fastly's rust implementation.
It doesn’t. Crypto is famously massively popular for money laundering. It just makes it not Ubisoft’s problem in the same way Valve farmed out the risk and responsibility to third party skin sites. Similarly Second Life dealt with this more ethically by engaging a partner to deal with the regulatory side of things

It’s also not a claim I made so I’m not sure why you addressed that question to me.
The title seems inaccurate, and the outrage seems based on the title rather than the actual content. The article text explicitly says that the data is "anonymized and aggregated". How is that tracking?

Is there a free API for small SaaS products to use to check user uploaded images for CP and other violent imagery? Seems like such a tool should be a funded public service. I think AWS has something but it's likely paid and I don't use them. I'm pretty sure these tools are only available to companies that have the budget for it. Imagine open source projects like Wordpress and Mastodon having the option to toggle on such CP scanning of user uploaded content that would use the API?
I don't think you need a strong hallucinogen for it. People were extremely superstitious; I wouldn't be surprised if we could explain some events with something like second-hand cannabis smoke and a strong drive to believe.
Your comment is timely and encouraging for me. I last used C++ seriously in the late 90s and have thought about picking it up again to get out of my comfort zone (it's that or something like F#). I plan to play with some Wasm.
Try doing it only in a private window so you need to login every time. Even better.
You clearly misunderstood the link you gave about Java support if you think it's relevant to how the kernel is implemented.

The kernel has extensible support for execve-ing files the kernel doesn't directly understand as binaries by forwarding them to another program that behaves as an interpreter, the binfmt-misc machinery. The docs you linked just give an example of configuring that for various types of Java files.
Author here! Would love to hear examples of particularly good or bad tech debt tradeoffs people have seen over the years :)

The GTE truncated too early, and in too many places and there is a register for adding a fraction to the post-perspective-pre-truncate result to round instead. I didn't implement this back in the day, but thought about scaling the target dimensions in the GTE (watching for overflow) to get 1 bit of fraction back to refine the screen coordinate.

?

instead of actually 'proving' that fraud occurred, couldn't this be a measure of successful disinformation?

wasn't there a huge effort, like 60+ lawsuits? to show fraud? why was there no significant fraud found?
Still waiting for the ability to search in other branches. It's a pain when some codebases have stable releases on the next/dev branch but keep their main branch to the previous release.
I suggest you actually read the paper.

* Only the patients on a ventilator showed an effect anywhere near "7 IQ points" --- which was not a metric measured by the paper, but if we're going by about 1/2SD-- (n=44, not 80000).

* The P values are impressive, still, but that doesn't mean that the control population chosen to be "like' the ventilator patients is really equivalent.

* We already know that being in critical care or on a vent is bad for cognitive performance afterwards. Indeed, we know that being sick in any way is bad for cognitive performance for some time afterwards.
I use RO for my garden, but not for drinking. The amount of water waste for a commercial RO system is fairly large. For what it's worth the WHO also claims low TDS water long term is not good for health/intestines/kidneys.

• Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions.

• Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water.

• Low intake of other essential elements and microelements.

• Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food.

• Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals.
Sourcegraph CEO here. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We are very transparent, have a ton of users, and are open-core, so it's easy to get inspiration from us. :) We want way more devs to be using code search since it's so valuable 10x+/day, and if this helps, then we are very happy for that. Devs get to choose the code search tool they use, so the best tool will win (you wouldn't use Bing if your boss made you...likewise, code search isn't like team chat or team docs).

Pretty easy to discern that it is fictional, no need to refute anything.
I can't speak for parent, I'll leave that to them. I just meant to show evidence that because something is approved by the majority doesn't disqualify it from being tyrannical.

Personally, I don't see why it wouldn't be a concern with the mandates, but I think this conversation has already been repeated by others ad nauseum:

I say bodily autonomy, you might say we mandate all sorts of vaccines, I say these aren't those vaccines, you might say well they're safe and effective, and I say talk to me in 5 or 10 years when we have long term data, and you might say well we've never linked adverse effects to previous vaccines after n days, to which I'd say good luck actually finding those impacts if they do exist and again these aren't those vaccines, and we eventually arrive at a difference in beliefs/biases and an impasse.
They are not a meaningful indicator in less virulent strains. At some point you will HAVE to accept risk. COVID is not disappearing.

The next step is allowing law enforcement to force vaccinate people. Is that what you want? Do you want to continue masking, vaccine boosting, locking down indefinitely? COVID will not be eradicated so what threshold do we need to meet for this response to stop and let everyone return to normality?
> Multithreaded C++ programming without bugs is still very hard.

Multithreaded programming without bugs is hard in any language, unless the language completely cripples your ability to do certain things that tend to be where the bugs can creep in.

If you religiously stick to the rules (e.g. mutexes around all variable use, mutexes and condition vars used correctly), you will not have bugs. The problems come because people do not religiously stick to the rules, because their language doesn't require them too.

The problem is that if you are forced to follow all the rules, then certain things become impossible, such as lock-free programming (even the simple single-reader, single-writer FIFO). The use of memory barriers to create provably safe lock-free code is outside the scope of regularized multithreaded programming, and since it's very very hard to get that write, but people want to try it anyway, that's where things go wrong.

Just use things the way you're supposed to and you won't have bugs with this.

Some UNIXes had something similar, NeWS, OpenSTEP DSOs (now macOS XPC),...

And even GNU/Linux could offer a similar experience if the ecosystem would actually buy into D-BUS or KParts, but that isn't never going to happen, and when only in a specific distribution, with the distribution specific apps, largely ignored by the remaining eco-system.
To add additional dimensions to this, because the risk of lead per se is so salient, there's been a shift to using other metals such as cadmium as a substitute. Can't use lead because it's got so much baggage! Use cadmium instead!

There's a different set of issues involved with different substances — many problems associated with lead are due to its historical use — but lead is not the only heavy metal causing problems with health.

Not meaning to undermine what you're saying — on the contrary, I think it's more widespread than people realize.

Relevant context: The author, Ryan Kalember, is an executive at Proofpoint. His title says "Cybersecurity Strategy", but he's really in marketing and PR.
I know Ryan and would say he's a great guy and by far the best marketing executive I've worked with, but marketing is marketing. This piece is marketing.

Proofpoint competes with Microsoft in the email security space, less and less effectively as time has gone on. They're partners with CrowdStrike and George Kurtz in the Spectra Alliance [1], and CrowdStrike also competes with Microsoft (in the EPP/EDR space), so it's not surprising to see them team up against a common competitor.

All that said, the criticisms of Microsoft aren't without merit. There's definitely some truth to them.

I guess that is close to making sense, but as usual there are simpler alternatives. For example, the DNS. It already is a distributed global registry of reserved names that can be traded. The difference is more in political outlook than technical capability.

There could be simpler solutions even without a big bad central authority. Nodes participating in the federated network could build consensus among themselves (after all, each node has to voluntarily honor the database, whether that database is on the blockchain or not). The identity ownership can be controlled via knowledge of the private key. Just like you can currently sell your Twitter or Insta username by selling the password.
They seem serious about privacy but also their user experience. While that would be a win for privacy it would be a huge loss for most users. Apple also has a duty to prioritize user preferences.

Go has a garbage collector and doesn't allow for manual memory management which would rule it out entirely. This adds a requirement for the go runtime, which is a further nonstarter.

Most people aren't able to observe and willingly acknowledge their emotional response to a given issue, others don't think deeply enough to understand why disagreeing can sometimes lead to a clearer understanding of both their position and the world around them.

People parodying two completely different court cases against each-other and claiming some kind of "injustice" is a common example of this. It's charitable to even consider this kind of lowball mental gymnastics a middle-school level of argumentation.

Tbh, I think most people who haven't studied logic or understand why first principles are important just let the current tide of politics / emotion completely drive their perception.

It seems like a huge problem for leadership to have decided that you're just going to go 6-12 months without a CMS. If your website is critical to the business, then it seems (perhaps) worthwhile to just pay for another year on your current CMS while you procure a new one.

If you really can't change that, then forget about the HTML output. Dump the data from the current CMS system in some machine readable format (there's presumably a database, right?), export to Markdown, and bring it into something like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/). You'll have to do some work to re-assemble the site, but if you don't have a system like that, you're gonna have a bad time if you have to adjust the design of the site or something. A giant pile of HTML is really not useful to anyone except as output from a build IMO.
