I don't think these platforms ever mention they are trying to protect freedom of speech, so why would you expect them to?

Race being a social construct is an idea of social justice ideology, not of science. Race as a category is incredibly useful for science, and using it is standard practice in forsensic investigations for example.
Web pages used to be a single file.

This is a web site as a single file, using CSS only.

It's a CSS equivalent to a single-page application (SPA), except that this is a single-page site. SPS, perhaps, or maybe a multi-paged file (MPF).

Strictly, it requires CSS features which weren't originally present in HTML, though the concept's likely been possible since the early 2000s, if not late 1990s.

It does rely on CSS support within the browser, and some simple browsers (mostly terminal-mode clients) won't present the multi-page aspect. The site / page itself remains useful.
You like to live in hard mode. I like that.

I did forget to mention the requirement that you can't branch into the middle of an instruction. If you have both of these constraints then you can unambiguously determine the location of all instructions in any aligned 64-byte block, including at I$ fill time.

Implementing this would require instruction fetch to take an exception on line-crossing instructions (which must be illegal) and a change to the assembler to insert a 16-bit padding nop or expand a compressed instruction to maintain the alignment. There is nothing needed from the compiler (or linker AFAICT). JITs will have to be aware though.
Your post does nothing but make noise and clutter the discussion. It's frustrating when someone points out a fact that is overwhelmingly true and someone else jumps in with some ridiculous counterexample, even if your intention is to do it sarcastically.
The JWST might very well perish before the Huble.

Reviewing the wiki:

Infrared telescopes have a disadvantage: the telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference... below 50 K.
The telescope's sunshield ripped during a practice deployment.
JWST will operate... 1,500,000 km beyond Earth's orbit. Hubble orbits [at] 550 km.
The Webb telescope will use 126 small motors to occasionally adjust the optics.
...most infrared telescopes have a lifespan limited by their coolant, as short as a few months, maybe a few years at most.
[The JWST] is designed to cool itself without a dewar, using a combination of sunshields and radiators, with the mid-infrared instrument using an additional cryocooler.
The review also found JWST had 344 potential single-point failures, any of which could doom the project.
2010 Nature article: "The telescope that ate astronomy."
Its nominal mission time is five years, with a goal of ten years.
JWST needs to use propellant to maintain its halo orbit around L2, which provides an upper limit to its designed lifetime, and it is being designed to carry enough for ten years.

Do not expect 30 years of service from this device.
Recent years have seen a flurry of expensive lawsuits over the difference between a contractor and employee, most recently at Uber, so my views on that are likely outdated. I shouldn't be surprised that employers these days err on the side of caution and reclassified many traditionally contractor jobs as employee jobs.

Salaried jobs I've had all expected me to work 40 hrs. I'd moonlight on my own business, but was always careful to get a signed agreement in advance from my employer allowing me to do so. Some people moonlight and then live in terror of their employer finding out and claiming ownership over the moonlight business, but getting the agreement in advance forestalls that problem.

A more intriguing fact is that Google's search result page will often run 2-2.5MB in size (!). And sub 500ms results are a thing of (distant) past. More often than comfortable, user will wait between 1.5s and 2 seconds for results to load. [1]

This has gotten out of the hand for a company with so much resources, that literally depends on page speed for revenue. It is incomprehensible that the size (which is probably the main reason for latency) can not be reduced.

At Kagi Search [2] (I'm founder) our home page (for logged in users, not the marketing landing page) is mere 68kb, everything works even without javascript, and 90th percentile result pages load in <1s with SERP page being on average 100-200kb total.

yeah you’re right, so without that last line what do you think

its not supposed to be new information, its supposed to deconstruct that people in the largest continent on the planet have the most genetic diversity and only chose/were forced to group together for shared representation after noticing they all got a shitty parallel experience in some other continents

the same concept applies to other groups that happen to overlap in some unique phenotypes

This reminds me strongly of the Info file format (itself generated from a TexInfo source file), in which an entire multi-page document is presented in a single file. See:

https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_nod...

The difference is that Info requires a dedicates reader (the info or pinfo command-line utilities, or of course, Emacs), whilst this format will work with any graphical Web client.

It doesn't quite work as planned with a terminal-based browser. I've opened https://css-tricks.com/a-whole-website-in-a-single-html-file... with w3m, and rather than seeing only one of the intended "pages" at a time, the entire "site" is presented. That said, degredation is graceful, and navigation works.

I'm quite impressed.
I think I have a general policy of withholding judgement until I've researched a thing, with as little prejudice as I can manage. But if I spend a lot of time researching a thing, and still reach the conclusion that it's stupid, and everybody buying it is stupid, then woe unto that thing (in internet comment threads).

This is my take as well.

Not every business/platform has a right to exist, and if something is fatally flawed in this manner, don't let it keep crawling along, kill it.

You could group people by hair color or eye color as well, without reference to any society. But, the social importance of that grouping could vary greatly between societies. Eg. not many people care about who is an Ionian or an Achaean in modern society.

The racial distinctions (at least today in the west) are associated with biological traits, and specifically the ones that are visually obvious. But, I think those biological traits are used socially to distinguish groups that are considered different for other reasons (values, beliefs, etc.).
There is no possible way you don’t know what OP means. I can understand if you insist on regarding Greenwald as anything but yet another hack these days: you’d be wrong, of course. But there are too many wrong in that specific way to consider it as remarkable in any way.

That's only a fraction of it. This is an interactive tree view of all the files and all the pending transfers, with the ability to exclude or change sync settings on specific selections or directories, either temporarily or permanently into a saved configuration.

"This, then, is the answer to the problem of civilization: not to flee from the realm of space; to work with things of space but to be in love with eternity.

Don't forget crypto's monetization of computer crime! You don't need to get that pesky data and figure out what to do with it, the processor time itself is money.

More seriously - I can't really speak to web 3 in general but as far as crypto here's an example:

Another one: consider you go to a bar, and need to prove you are age of majority. Today you do this with a state issued ID, which are easily forged. What would a digital alternative look like?

You could certainly issue some sort of credential from the state, and present that credential to the bar, and the bar would validate it with the state. Now the state knows you went to the bar.

What if the state doesn't handle the validation, but provides some sort of cryptographically secure assertion to a distributed, decentralized ledger. And the bar doesn't validate your credential (your digital ID) with the state, but verifies it in the ledger.

Keep in mind that single integrated book formats are highly viable now.

It's in the interest of publishers not to offer them, however.

A chief example that comes to mind is the Feynman Lectures in Physics series, which are available online but only in a chapter-by-chapter basis in HTML format. (Quite beautifully formatted, FWIW.) If you want to glue those together into a single integrated whole, you'll have to do that yourself.

PDFs and ePubs afford the single-file format.
The prequels are pretty enjoyable (tracks the life of Seldon), but the sequels outside of the trilogy have been much more of a slog.
First time I got Covid in January. It was bad. Not as bad as a bad case of strep though. Nothing helped headaches and body aches were painful.

I just got Covid again. Double vaxxed with Phizer. It’s pretty mild right now like a light case of cold. Nothing compared to January.

It seems like it’s going to keep evolving like any other virus of the family. Everyone is going to get it eventually. Hopefully it will evolve to be more and more mild(it’s goal is to survive the longest and not to eradicate us). What really surprised me with omicron is that stats show that natural immunity is not as good as the vaccines(Moderna and Phizer) so make sure you are vaccinated.

Great book on a different method of managing goals and time, both in and out of a company setting.
The categorisation isn't fully biological though, it's far heavier in the cultural camp. And even when it is biological, it's mainly phenotypic, which isn't adequate for genetic research.

Nonfiction: "Rationality: From AI to Zombies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky. It was a fantastic deep-dive into the topic, and despite being extremely long was very readable.

Fiction: "Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. I've read other Steinbeck before this one, but this stands out as a clear masterpiece. I especially enjoyed the way he blended the experiences of specific individuals with the experiences of a general population - the narration style was very enjoyable.

"Race" is an outdated term that is rightly being supplanted by terms such as "geographic locus," "ethnicity" and "ancestry."

There is, AFAIK, only one sentient primate "race" on the Earth, Homo Sapiens.

And the members of that species are, genetically, incredibly closely related.

Differences in melanin content, bodily proportions and other immutable traits don't rise to the level of a different species for Homo Sapiens.

As such, referring to disparate groups by their geographic locus, ethnicity or ancestry is much more precise than using outdated terms like "race."

It's not about "wokeness" or "political correctness." Rather, it's about precision and more useful groupings of individuals.

Centering has been an easily solved problem with both flex and grid for years. If you’re having trouble with conflicting styles, you can revert them with, well, revert. You can even revert all of them with revert: all. But I don’t recommend that. If you’re still having trouble centering things I’d recommend getting familiar with the cascade and removing styles that conflict with what you’re centering.
This is a neat tool.

I tried to read Cryptonomicon as a first introduction to Stephenson. Kept waiting for the good parts, and actually just stopped reading halfway through out of sheer boredom.

A few years later and I read Seveneves. Absolutely fall in love, and read Anathem right after. Loved it too.

To this day I still don’t understand why the first book felt so boring and the others didn’t. To make it worse, when you go looking for a synopsis of Cryptonomicon, everyone is so vague!

Politics is for Power by Eitan Hersh. He argues that the nationalization and "hobby"-ization has caused the political dysfunction we see today and argues that individuals should pursue politics exclusively to gain more power for what they believe in. One handy distinction he makes is the difference between politics as a noun: something you know about like current events (which is a waste of time) and politics as a verb: something you do in your community to gain more power.
Sure, if that works for you, it's easy. Stuff like crossbeam::scope only solves a subset of the problem, though. When that solution doesn't work for you, it's a pain.

Using a scope is, strictly speaking, less powerful and more annoying to work with than a more general system of linear types. It's like Go's defer, or C#'s using/IDisposable... they work in certain scenarios, but there's a percentage of the time where a lexical scope or function scope doesn't match the lifetime of your object, or can't match the lifetime of your object.

If you mean South Africa, I don’t think it’s thought that Omicron originated there, just that it was first sequenced there because they do quite a lot of surveillance sequencing.

I have read that it’s thought to have originated in maybe Botswana, or that maybe it jumped species to mice and back. I don’t think it’s conclusive yet
Second McCarthy’s “effective language” attribution.

"Created equal" doesn't mean cloned. Even in the 18th century nobody would have thought that.

It means that regardless of whether you are an athletic prodigy, someone with developmental disabilities, or anybody else, you are deserving of equal share in governance — in contrast with aristocracy where some are considered more worthy to rule over others by dint of who they are.

With a different version of "created equal", the whole meaning of the rest of your post changes.

34 years old. Got it in Feb of 2020. No sense of taste or smell for a a few weeks came back fine. Needed to take naps for a month after getting better. Had hard time going up and down stairs and breathing at night while sleeping. I feel like I've completely recovered by now. I'd say it's on the top 5 worst list of illnesses I've endured. I must of had alpha or beta though.

What's hilarious is I thought I had caught some very strange flu that wasn't COVID cause no one thought it was in America yet. I did go to the doctor to get tested for flu all came back negative. Also my whole family seemed to get sick. It was wildly different for each person.

Hopefully the new variant is as mild as they say. I'm still having Christmas with small amount of family. I'm triple vaxxed at this point.

The final section of The Baroque Cycle. Clever, detailed historical fiction epic about the 1600s and 1700s in Europe, The Middle East, and a bit of North Americas east coast. Interactions between fictional and real characters, without anything that can be proved didn't happen (like The Thee Musketeers). And, just a hint of magic. See Isaac Newton as a precocious Cambridge student probing the universe by maneuvering a darning needle through his eye; later, his occult obsessions.

Honorable mention to Children of Time and its sequel. Gripping sci-fi story about transforming, interactions between humans and computers, and other beings. Imaginative world about cultures very different from own own, and how they might evolve under different evolutionary conditions.

The only slightly interesting part (which is why it's hosted on css-tricks) is not even explicitly mentioned in the article at all. It's the fact that it also uses no JS, and is all CSS based.
