Bob wants US AG job.

I am for all it, he has proved himself IMO.

Being ambitious is OK especially when you are helping people.

my 2 cents.
It took me a while to find on their website, but: "Our prices range from $1,800 to $6,000, annually." So pretty good price-wise for a full-service AUM type service.

Thanks!
It’s a horse worth beating, or at least kicking, because it’s a tough set of incentives.

Even if you have functionally unlimited money like Apple, it’s tough to prioritize rewriting a somewhat obscure piece of the OS solely to prevent security issues. Because if you have a team that’s capable of fully reimplementing this component, and getting it through a QA process to make sure it doesn’t break another component of the OS…well damn, that’s a team you probably want on a higher-profile project, and not doing cleanup, right?

>related specifically to viral infection, not secondary causes.

You can't separate the two. The governments response to the pandemic needs to be analyzed, and the huge increase in deaths among black children as a direct result of their policies in regards to the virus, and not due to the virus itself, means those deaths were preventable with a less authoritarian response.
I disagree with Neil on this one.

Trying to cancel and censor another artist because you disagree with their opinions feels very wrong. But just because I disagree with Neil doesn't mean I want to censor him or take him off Spotify or my playlists... Oh wait. He removed his music from my Spotify playlists.

Why wouldn't Neil just write a song titled "Joe Rogan" and use the Spotify platform to spread his message? I'd respect that.
Thanks that’s useful.
minor additional benefit is that it configures 'service account signing' in k3s OOTB, so you don't have to hack it in by changing config behind docker desktop's back if you really need it like we did.
Extensions like Decentraleyes and LocalCDN are doing things like this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/decentraleyes...

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/localcdn/njdfdhgcm...

The aim is improving privacy - your browser doesn't need to request the libraries from a CDN, so you can't be tracked by them.

This does also bring the performance gains you mention.
I don't know if that's feasible. Joe Rogan can have hour-long podcasts because hour-long podcasts are his job. It is not the job of experts to have hour-long podcasts dissecting another podcast-- their jobs are to be experts in whatever their field is in. Dissecting a wrong person may not be helpful if they don't have the equipment, the same following, the polish, the time, or the presentation skill... because its not their job.

The most frightening part of the Senate bills are that they require Apple, et al to let people communicate with customers outside of the app store.
The other American networks are no different. Just yesterday CNN’s Jim Acosta called Virginia under Republican Governor Youngkin a “Soviet-style police state.” I don’t see how that’s better or worse than any of Carlson’s hyperbolic statements. CNN in particular has spread plenty of misinformation, such as in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion or during 2020’s “firey but mostly peaceful” riots.

People have the ability to remember and compare similar statements and events. Double standards applied unfairly tend to get remembered for a very long time. I think the best thing would be to apply even standards across the board for “misinformation”, and tend towards less rather than more censorship.
Maybe he didn't quite follow the same trajectory of radicalization/insanity as the rest of the alt-right, but he was definitely a poster child of the movement at some point. Him claiming to not be doesn't really change anything.
Agree. The cynical optimum solution seems to be to artificially create drama by exaggerating the difficulties, always looking busy, and solving the problem way ahead of schedule but only deliver close to last minute while telling everybody how hard the team worked to save the day. And then convince non-tech management that you need a bigger budget/more people to handle future projects because obviously what you are doing is super hard and we can’t rely on heroic sacrifices forever.
By that argument, there would be no sentences in spoken language, since speakers generally do not say "period" or "full stop" at the end of their thoughts. I find your argument unconvincing
>can root the box with a CrashReporter exploit

It's like poetry.
> For example, if they were being anti-gay, they wouldn't say "this pro-gay content is bad for 8th graders but ok for 10th graders."

Eh... there is a lot of history of LGBTQ+ censorship that should be taken into account when making a statement like this. "It's fine for adults but we need to protect the young from it," is historically a very common phrase that has popped up in discussions about sex education and sexual orientation being expressed in schools.

I also want to kind of align the conversation with the specifics of what people objected to in this book. We're talking about 8 swear words and a single cartoon picture of a naked mouse -- all of which were censored from the book. So at this point we are talking about a topic, not specific instances of profanity. We're talking about a view that 8th graders are not mature enough to know that nakedness exists or that sometimes people swear.

I just don't understand how that could be seen as a non-political view. There's a difference between someone saying that 8th graders shouldn't be exposed to the words "bitch" or "damn", and someone saying that 8th graders shouldn't be taught that anyone in any context might use those words.

From the minutes again:

> I understand that on TV and maybe at home these kids hear worse, but we are talking about things that if a student went down the hallway and said this, our disciplinary policy says they can be disciplined, and rightfully so. And we are teaching this and going against policy?

Is the objection that someone in a book did something that was against school policy? Because that seems really political in nature to me as an objection.

----

> Saying teachers can't teach something in school as a representative of the government is different than restricting a student's speech.

100% agreed. I don't like what the school is doing here, but I doubt in this case it's a 1st Amendment violation.

However, it's still very clearly closer to a 1st Amendment violation than anything happening on Twitter. Government restrictions on school curriculum can be ruled unconstitutional. Of course not all restrictions are unconstitutional, but it is within the realm of things we would talk about. How kids get taught and what topics teachers can bring up to them is a huge battleground in the fight over the government's ability to define what students are and aren't allowed to learn.
> A private company has every right to not amplify your message if they don't want to.

Specifically, the right of private actors to do or not do this as they please is called “free speech”.

What about people who deny great replacement?

Oh, wait wait wait, no, those people are actually right, it's the ones saying it _is_ happening who are wrong-thinking. Got it. Let me check my notes again; it's the global warming that is definitely happening and cannot be denied, and the great replacement that is definitely not happening and must be denied (or alternatively you can acknowledge it but say it's actually a great thing).

Do you see where I'm getting at? We must debate all those things in a healthy democracy. We can debate whether Russia or the US is right regarding the Ukraine. We can debate immigration. We can debate vaccines. We can debate whether or not it's true that Saddam actually has WMDs and whether it's wise to invade Iraq. We can debate whether or not smoking causes cancer. We can debate whether or not there is actually a risk with asbestos. We should debate all this stuff.

In case my point is not clear in a sarcastic form let me be more explicit: history has shown that we have been wrong about so many things in so many fields (medical, diplomacy, etc.) over the years. And conventional wisdom about certain things can completely flip over time. Thus we should never exclude debate and skepticism.

It took me the better part of a morning I would have ideally spent on more productive tasks.

I spent an hour on the phone to get my limit temporarily raised, then another hour or so later in the day when the payment was flagged as suspicious and my account was locked. There was then an arbitrary waiting period of one day where the transfer sat in limbo before getting processed (more security theatre), and finally an additional two days for the funds to clear.

> All the experts should start their own podcasts where they have their own guests and talk about, among other things, _why_ the things discussed on his show are misinformation.

Sounds like something an expert in a field would a) not have enough time to do, b) usually lack the charisma to do and c) draw them away from arguably more pertinent tasks, such as research?

I think a better course of action would be to stop believing one can be educated on topics they know nothing about, and without context, purely by passively absorbing information from podcasts.
It's also worth noting that with 1 you can find plenty of farmers and small producers do complain about the anti trust issuese of supermarkets in the same way.

Yeah, rewriting is hard and involves lots of complex cost tradeoffs. But at least when writing new software, with today's options, I think it's much harder to justify starting out with an unsafe language.
The alt-right a loose collection (with overlaps) of January 6th supporters, anti-vaccination activists, people who believe the election was stolen, white supremacists, and so forth.

Ben Shapiro is pro-vax, does not believe the election was stolen, and has had the FBI arrest alt-right people who made death threats against him multiple times over the years. "Poster child of the movement?" Unless you consider alt-right to be completely the same as far-right, that was never the case. No movement makes death threats against their poster child.
>Today if you want to print "1 item" or "2 items", many would probably pull a library. 25 years ago, you would either build the logic yourself, or consider the logic unnecessary clutter and write snprintf(buffer, 25, "%d item(s)")

Well that's what I am talking about. Hardware resources allow devs to be lazy, to not optimize.

But snprintf(buffer, 25, "%d item(s)") is easier than learning and setting up whatever library it is you want to pick, and thus is the lazy solution. You don't need to think about optimization to pick it. On the contrary you'd need some good reason to not pick it.

Growing hardware resources can explain the growing popularity of higher level, interpreted languages for example - they take resources and save time.

But it can't explain e.g. twitter, and that's what my question is all about. It would actually be the lazy solution to make the frontend in pure html. Yet they chose whatever unholy mess it is they chose. It took them more time and resources to build AND it takes more computer resources. So it's like anti-optimization - but it still takes dev time. And I can't wrap my head around it, why would they do this?

You'd think it works like this: you may trade features and dev time for optimizations. But they trade dev time for the opposite of optimizations, and essentially no features.

It's like if they paid a street sweeper to make streets messy. And they didn't just pay this one guy to run around the whole city throwing garbage around - they hired teams of guys to meticulously lay out litter in the streets. Nobody asked for that litter, it achieved nothing, didn't even profit the people doing it. But they spend tons of money on paying those guys, training them, team building, organizing scrum meetings...
B&H and Adorama are increasingly my go-tos for anything with microchips. They've both branched out from photography to A/V gear to tech goods generally.
You say that but if my school library doesn’t have a book and some other school’s library does, I don’t have access to that book ever in my life.

If the libraries were consolidated into a regional library, everyone in the region gets access to a super library for life. Furthermore, the library would be high quality as a result of many schools funding it.

>On his episode of JRE he said something called "mass formation psychosis" existed, and had something to do with COVID(?!?) which is a bald-faced lie.

Mass formation psychosis is a thing that does exist. It just means shared delusion. Psychologists steer clear of religion, but if you are atheist, beliefs in Gods would be a good example.

It basically just means erroneous groupthink. It absolutely has something to do with COVID, but people obviously argue over which side is delusional, or at least more delusional.
The most interesting part of their training is that they only talk about actions that employees should be taking or not. It never considers the end result: being a monopoly. In other words, being monopolist is just fine, as long as people don't do any action that can be used as evidence against the company.

>>On his episode of JRE he said something called "mass formation psychosis" existed, and had something to do with COVID(?!?) which is a bald-faced lie.

It's not a lie. It's arguably unsubstantiated. The response to COVID, like shutting down schools for two years [1] to the enormous detriment of education [2], has been insane in its disproportionateness, and the claim that a type of mass hysteria is responsible is totally within the realm of the plausible, and the contra is certainly not the kind of clear cut fact that can justify calling the position a "bald-faced lie".

Classifying everything that opposes a particular agenda as the kind of indisputable lie that has no place being aired on any platform, is the path to a totalitarian society that censors views that are out of favor with the establishment.

Can we please kill this trope?

it is because humans use terms colloquially rather than with the utmost precision, and then it gets held up as if the person meant the exact precise legal concept. This is true always, which is why the advice this person got is also commonly given in lots of forms. For example, doctors are often trained in being careful in what they write down for the same reason.

The audit trail is always there no matter what, and this wouldn't change that
Yes misinformation is nothing new. The type of bullshit I see now being promoted now on social media is no different from the bullshit that used to appear in Weekly World News or Nexus Magazine in the 90s.

Hell in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" Mike Myers even does a bit about how his mother reads batshit crazy conspiracy theories and refers to them as "news". Fringe batshit crazy conspiracy theories have always been out there and have always been a space where the far left overlaps with the far right[1].

The problem is that now we have an entire class of politican, forming an increasingly powerful faction in global politics, whose pitch is based on misinformation and it's reinforced by a media network that is increasingly divorced from any sort of regulation or oversight, has the veneer of "news" and the trust that goes with it, but which is just a bunch of sociopaths in equal measures crazy, greedy and stupid, amplifying each other into authenticity.

Social media has enabled this, it would have been impossible to do otherwise.

Yes the writers of Nexus Magazine could publish something and sell it in the newsagent alongside Time Magazine and National Geographic, but what Social Media does is the equivalent of running Nexus Magazine articles inside Time Magazine, or worse it just lets a whole bunch of people who can imitate rational, educated thought create content that too many people fail to differentiate from actual scholarly or journalistic work.

The politicians lend credibility to the shitposters, and the shitposters do the same back. Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Tim Pool, Russell Brand, Jordan Peterson, Ted Cruz, Judge Janine, Laura Ingraham, Peta Credlin, Rowan Dean, Pauline Hanson, Malcolm Roberts, George Christiansen, Paul Murray, Rita Pahani, Miranda Devine, Adam Creighton, you name, it, they're all the fucking same, all over the world (I've only cited US and Australia because that's what I'm most familiar with but these same cutouts appear throughout global media and politics).

None of them are "telling it like it is", they're just a bunch of big greedy stinking fucking liars, or they're too dumb or too crazy to know that what they're saying is wildly inaccurate.

The unifying thread of this dangerous and insidious political movement is libertarianism, which has pitched itself as anti-authoritarian but which is ultimately the most authoritarian form of government imagineable (essentially feudalism) because "liberty" and "freedom from regulation" mean very, very different things when you're super rich than they do when you're super poor.

The rebellion against "regulation" has turned into a rebellion against "authority" which has in turn lead to a rebellion against ALL expertise, to the point where football players think they should be able to debunk scientists.

What do people do with all this bandwidth?

Sometimes a git clone can take a little while. Streaming a 4k movie is about 0.02 Gbps. Latency matters for gaming but what else?

I suppose you could do things that normally wouldn't make sense like having a fully cloud remote development environment. I tried out RubyMine's Remote Development (beta) and I thought "who could possibly use this with the entire JVM of the IDE running in the cloud with only the graphics displayed locally?" I think I found the crowd.

If that were the case he would have left without issuing an ultimatum. Ultimatums are an attempt to force someone to do something. “Do what I want or else“

Same thing with a boycott. Do you just randomly boycott companies for no reason? No, you do it because you want them to change a policy that you don't like. In this case, Neil doesn't like that Spotify won't censor Rogan. He left to try to force them to do it. He failed.

It is even crazier if you read the story as told by FoxNews:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-jim-acosta-virginia-soviet...

> CNN host Jim Acosta on Tuesday suggested Virginia was being run like a "Soviet-style police state" under new Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

> During a segment on his fill-in primetime show, Acosta, while making the comparison, cited an email tip line set up by Youngkin's administration in which parents can report teachers that teach "divisive" topics to their children, such as critical race theory, while also mocking the way Youngkin dressed.

which is hyperbole about hyperbole. Then you read it from realpolitics:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/01/26/cnns_acos...

> CNN's Jim Acosta recognized that the country is divided, and he had someone to blame during a Tuesday segment with Molly Jong Fast.

> "It seems Republican leaders have gone all-in on dividing the country in many ways," Acosta said.

> "I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia. He was running as a different kind of Republican. I was told there was going to be a vest, not a Soviet-style police state across the Potomac from Washington," he said about the new Virginia governor.

Who spend most of their time quoting what Acosta actually said in one block (while FoxNews shuffles the quotes around so it would fit their narrative). The news is basically trash these days. Of course, once it comes out that the governer basically instituted a tip line to out teachers who might be teaching something construed as critical race theory, all the non-far right wingers are already on board with Acosta's outrage.
