Fact: CNN spread misinformation about Ivermectin. JR even got CNN's Sanjay Gupta to admit that it was misinformation.

https://nypost.com/2021/10/14/joe-rogan-takes-on-sanjay-gupt...

I find it really disturbing when our definition of "misinformation" is so one-sided.
I definitely agree that computer programming is an art (as does Knuth and many others), and I believe that the emotions we feel when producing particularly clever bits of code are comparable to the emotions that a poet feels when writing particularly meaningful verses.

However, in order for programming to have the same footing as a "fine art" (on par with poetry or visual arts), it needs to have the same _relatability_ in non-programmers as it does with programmers. That is, it would need to evoke the same visceral emotion in a nontechnical observer, which is kind of a stretch at this moment. Nevertheless, I'm fine with programming remaining a true art only within a self-selected inner circle. Many other things are the same way.

>First, speech is not wholly "centralized" on private platforms. The purpose of platforms is to provide a centralized service for content, but platforms don't have the power to eliminate alternate forums for speech. There aren't Spotify brownshirts burning down indie music labels and shaking down local bands that don't sign up, or showing up at random doors to bother individuals who refuse to tune in.

Oh no, 99% of communication is on private platforms, surely this mean that topical discourse is extremely free as you can always scream into the void.

Pardon my sarcasm, but Freedom of Speech is fundamentally tied to the right to be (reasonably) heard as otherwise you'd have freedom of speech in almost every dystopian setting, provided nobody else hears you.

The reality of the situations is that these private platforms are the public squares of today, and like it or not, they represent the vast majority of communications. As such, the ability to censor across these platforms is vastly more powerful than any private censorship due to it's lack of constraints.

>Talk radio

Are there significant barriers to a left wing talk radio show? From what I understand, the issue isn't in institutional barriers, but instead a lack of a market. However, we've very much seen the inverse for right-wing platform, with anything from payment processors to cloudflare and other core infrastructural components locking them out.

Even better, your horrendous strawman of the cars which force said show upon listener neglects the fact that the Spotify user, if he wishes not to listen to Joe Rogan can... just not hit the play button?
Disputes are not just for fraud. If you got tricked into paying for something or didn't receive the promised goods/services it's also a valid reason for a dispute.
This was a great read.

There was a series focusing on the underlying problem driving people to seek these types of communities - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54l8_ewcOlY

The series touched on Gnosticism, and how it developed into future philosophies - even evolving into the foundation of the Nazi belief system. We’re at a point where, due to a wholesale rejection of religion, we’ve thrown the baby (practical wisdom traditions) out with the bath water (improbable metaphysical axioms)

The author also touches on the notion of a metaverse, and I’ve been writing on the subject as well. This vision of a “metaverse”, as the author alludes to, is one that is not divorced from reality but perpendicular to it. It could be a great thing, or a digital hell.

We live in weird times, and collectively are in dire need of wisdom.
Old car-free zones are tempting! Rothenburg ob der Tauber was also one we considered, or Venice.
Essential business. So now that person needs to rely on other people for groceries?
There is a lot of friction with programming. Picking a programming language, picking an IDE, learning concepts and syntax, googling the errors, etc.

Think of how a painter probably got introduced to painting. Parents or teachers gave them a paintbrush and paint and off they went. Immediate feedback and gratification.

Stuff like Swift Playground makes it easier to get into programming so progress is being made.
> What a staggering battery of distortions.

I don't know who you're really angry at but it doesn't seem to be down to me. Maybe dial it back a bit.

> Company credit card? You're just assuming that everyone doing this is spending someone else's money?

The tweet talks about the the full Creative Cloud suite (something close to £750/yr), and yes, the majority of these people are either spending the company's money or that of their own freelance business. It's an eye-wateringly expensive commitment otherwise.

This kind of commitment encourages due diligence.
I hope that the episodes are properly archived somewhere so that in the future when our emotions cool, we can examine this more objectively. Spotify may have the legal right to pull the episodes, but this clash has cultural significance and so we should preserve everything as accurately as possible so its repercussions can be studied.
Yes but last summer's temps worry me.

How can you not tell inline cannot use media queries?

Yes. The goal of grading is to grade students. If you need more education than other students, then look for a different profession or get a private tutor. Education system should not push squares into round holes with force. If a square doesn't fit a round hole, then let it go.
Adobe licensing practices are pure evil. I've been in IT for over 30 years. I was a fan of Adobe products for a very long time but no longer. Even the supposedly stand-alone products require a continuous connection to Adobe's cloud, which is not only a way to verify licensing but to track users.

There is a consistent pattern with companies that do advertising, they go pure evil in the name of profit. See Roku and others.

There is probably an exception for safety — you don’t have to merge into the rightmost lane if it is not safe. (You’re describing a scenario where it isn’t safe.) I know WA cycling law has such an exception, but I don’t know about OR specifically.
I largely agree with your comment, and did not mean to in any way to disrespect the value of the Union victory and resulting end of slavery. Re-reading my comment I wish I had said the North choose to enforce their _decison_ rather than _opinion_.

FWIW I think the history is actually complex and interesting. The southern succession was clearly driven by slavery, but the historical record shows that the war was not initially pursued by the north on abolitionist grounds.
If you read Lincoln’s inaugural address[1], which came after the first states succeeded, he promised not to end slavery. Rather he argued he had a legal duty to keep the states together.

Regarding Fort Sumter, what’s actually unusual there is that 35 soldiers who were likely all locals decided they didn’t want to be part of succession and tried to hold out rather than do what virtually all other US forces in the south did and change allegiance. The much larger confederate force did besiege and bombard them, but no one died in combat, and they eventually surrendered[2].

The first combat fatality occurred when a mob in Baltimore ambushed US troops marching through
[3]. Recall that Maryland did not succeed so the first “Union death” was caused by “Union civilians” who didn’t want the army to continue further south. Also recall that the Emancipation Proclamation[4] did not end slavery in the Union states that still had it (Maryland, Missouri, and the newly formed West Virginia), so it wasn’t until the thirteenth amendment passed after the war that slavery truly and fully ended.

Most historians I’ve read argue that abolition rose in importance over the course of the war, specifically as a way to reframe the war as a moral imperative and maintain support for it (which flagged early on). So by the end, the characterization as a war to end slavery is true, but it’s difficult to argue that was true from the outset. At the start the war was very controversial, and Lincoln’s stated objectives were merely to hold the Union together, which he saw as his legal duty.

There need to be laws that you cannot advertise anything as "free" or "introductory price" if it's amortized into a longer contract. A common tactic in Canada is to say "$4/mo for the first three months" but when you sign a contract for $12/mo over a year commitment. This should be treated as straight-up fraud. The price is clearly $10/mo and they're just deferring some payments.

It's nowhere like asking someone to leave your house. A plane is not a house.

This is someone that paid for a service, is following all the rules set in contract and is not causing any problem to you. You merely picked on this person at random.

This is like expelling a tenant that didn't do anything wrong and paid the rent because you want to let your cousin sleep for the night.

Also, why don't they share the lists with each other? They don't need government help to do this.

If there are privacy issues then they could just share a list of hashes and if someone's legal name hashes to something on the list then you deny them.
Yep and covered entities are usually related to billing for medical care. As an example, almost all life insurance companies are not even hipaa compliant because they aren’t covered entities.

In net - hipaa doesn’t protect medical information generally - only the subset that’s usually visible to doctors. And even then, it stops working as soon as the info is outside a covered entity.
You're conflating whether or not a private entity is free to do something with whether or not I agree with the soundness of that action. They are distinct.
That's great to hear!! Might try to do a house swap there this summer. Houten especially looks interesting.
I'd actually like to try.

You're getting caught in the weeds and missing what's actually happening. It's not just about Spotify and Joe Rogan. If Spotify dropped Rogan and he goes elsewhere, people will still be trying to silence him. If Rogan is silenced, the mob isn't going to suddenly drop their pitchforks and go home. The corporate media isn't going to stop attacking independent media.

This is a larger cultural question and will determine where we go from here.

Are we still a society that values free expression and open debate?
What’s false about Apple not opening its ecosystem because it wouldn’t result in financial profit?

They could, they just choose not to because there is no money to be made out of that.
They used to be but then competitors sprang up so Adobe got less attention.
Yeah, this is not really representative for the "average" drive, it's still not working well in many downtown areas especially.

sacramento is a incredibly bikable city. i don’t understand when people say america isn’t good for bikes. european bike cities usually have 2 characteristics. bike paths and high density. the paths we obviously have less of here. but not none. and it’s less important here because our cities usually have more than 1 main way to get somewhere and you just ride on the small street, not the 6 lane wide one

and the density thing is different. utrecht is a good example, if you bike more than 2-3 miles you’re in the country side. farmland. sacramento you can keep going. sacramento has good bus routes and ones that you can put your bike on. the bay area is a great mix of density and other transit supplanting it like awesome bus and train system to get you farther

i think you should do a little more research of this first hand and not just look at death numbers. they don’t tell the whole story. phoenix area is a massive pre planned grid with 45mph expw all over. people live far apart. you might have destinations 30 miles away. and it’s hot. i wouldn’t call it bike friendly at all even if it has paths
They don't. The business model relies on most people not challenging it or not being aware that chargebacks are a thing.

Similarly, this may not fly in court either, but again the business model relies on most people not escalating all the way up (and in their case, they won't pursue it either, as they'd lose more in legal fees even if they ultimately win the case).

Nasty business models like this won't survive if people stood their ground and knew their rights better.
Because it's at the intersection of technology, censorship, and broader culture.
Anybody in the FOSS scene in Europe already knows what it is, it doesn't really need more publicity.
Who says computer programming isn't a major part of the arts?
There's no package manager so there's no way to install things and there's no Python included.

You could run your Windows Python but the paths will be wrong (C:\ instead of /c/), etc.
Think in terms of supply and demand in the labor force and its effect on costs to wonder why the system is trying to push people into coding.

Do tech firms want to push H1B Visas because they deeply care about the people of distant lands and genuinely can't find anybody in America to do the same job, or do they simply want access to more cheap and compliant labor to keep salaries low?

Is tech trying to push stuff like Women and Black Girls Can Code Too for the sake of being noble and kind to all, or are they just desperately trying to increase the size of the labor pool to reduce the leverage that their highly paid employees have?

I don't want to be elitist about this because I'd love to teach anybody who genuinely wanted to try and learn to code, but the reality is that you cannot teach everybody to think in abstract terms and actually learn to code and this effort is futile, harms real programmers, and just benefits big firms who want to try and pay less.

PS: And this push is sort of ironic because saying "Learn to Code" briefly became akin to a hate crime for a while. https://reason.com/2019/03/11/learn-to-code-twitter-harassme...
What's the odds of one of these hitting someone in the eye a century later?
There are plenty of small-to-medium-sized cities (25K–250K) with sufficiently intact city cores and higher-density corridors where it's still very reasonable to imagine increased cycling uptake if the infrastructure were just put in place. It's not about making every person ride a bike on every trip, it's about making more bike trips possible for more people. Obviously someone who lives in Montana five miles from the nearest stoplight isn't going to be using a bike for their primary transportation, but there's a big spectrum in between that and midtown Manhattan.
Alright so this is a tangent from the main conversation, and I want to keep it separate from the censorship talk.

I think by definition you can’t define/identify a side, and then place yourself in opposition to them and not be on a team? You may not have been on a team prior to the issue coming up or you might only be on the team temporarily for that issue, but it’s still two sides and you picked one, right?
>> Doesn’t that sort of make it a noop though?

No. By revealing a likely course of action, it can prevent them from taking that course of action.

For example, if I plan to cheat at a card game by keeping extra cards in my shirt sleeve and another player at the table says: "He cheats. I hear he keeps cards in his sleeves." Then it will much harder, perhaps impossible for me to cheat that way because everyone will be watching my sleeves and my movements carefully.
> Which would not just cost them in damages but also in bad publicity

Unfortunately I think Adobe is beyond the point where few months of bad publicity would harm their core business. Amateurs would vote with their feet but professionals have really nowhere to go. There just are no alternatives to some of their programs.
Sure, but wasn’t your objection based on spreading out the car payment over the lifetime of the vehicle? That’s what the AAA study shows.

Depreciation and maintenance and length of life factors are going to bring the differences between new cars and used cars close together. Some of the TCO costs don’t depend on new vs used (fuel, insurance, taxes & fees)

Edmunds has a TCO calculator for used cars. https://www.edmunds.com/tco.html It doesn’t seem that far off from AAA’s numbers for car models that are less than 10 years old (which is the majority of used car sales).
He always admits when he's wrong. You clearly know nothing about him.

What damage exactly? Point it out and be specific please.
I assume this means days 1-7 are completely unpaid, days 8-14 you've begun paying but without annual commitment, and after that you're both paying and annually committed.

> If by "anything" you mean "anything on a screen or coming through speakers"

Computers have more potential output peripherals than speakers and screens, and computer programming can also be used for interactive art that leverages input peripherals, as well.

> So much visual art is just raw visceral awe, which is just not possible with a screen.

I think a lot of people who have experienced cinema, perhaps especially large-format cinema, would disagree about visceral awe being impossible with a screen.
I corrected it to "the person with the correct info" - it doesn't affect the point of what I wrote. I dislike Rogan because in listening to him, this is almost all he ever does: let conspiracy theorists and grifters speak on his show with no resistance (often even encouraging them), while providing this type of resistance to people with competence, then pretending he's some kind of neutral party providing a level playing field.

"I would expect" is not exactly a sterling commendation of how clear a sign up flow's terms are. The Creative Suite has a wide audience.
Yes, but also we're talking about the whole Creative Cloud suite, not Photoshop here. There's a Photoshop-only plan that costs about £11 per month and there are Black Friday deals which are well understood by the budget photographer world to provide better value for money than this.

(Even then it is poor value for money, IMO; other packages cover 95% of the functionality of Photoshop and cost less than a year of this, and I really think the market understands that now)
Really neat. I've been working on a lazy parallel language and so I read the "HOW" document closely to see the secret sauce. What's exciting to me is that, while I'm not familiar with the academia behind their decisions, it seems that I arrived at the same result with regard to their lazy clones: I realized early in the language that caching the eval results would make things really fast, and this caching ends up doing exactly what their lazy clones achieves!

Of course one place I don't cache is in function application because the language is not pure (so we want side effects to occur again), but this makes me think it might be really good to derive which functions/subexpressions are pure and allow the cache to be retained through function calls for those.

I'm gonna keep a close watch on this. I should probably read more white papers :)

> you should be able to deny service and ask patrons to leave your property at any time for any reason

Nope, not "at any time" or for "any reason". Air companies are subject to several regulations, and another person posted it here: after boarding there are pretty specific reasons for why you can expel someone, and "because I say so" is not one. Not to mention that planes fly so you obviously can't "surprise deny" service at "any time".

At hotels you also can't throw people out on the street in the middle of the night, unless they did something wrong. Which is clearly not the case.

You also cannot throw out tenants without reason and without proper proceedings, for example.
Nice intro. I had to go through this yesterday on a cloud instance and hadn’t used windows in awhile. Instead of using this install GUI I first installed chocolatey. Once that was ready from powershell it’s a quick ‘choco install git’.

Getting visual studio build tools wasn’t as easy (was compiling rust/c++ so had it as a dependency). I managed to avoid Internet explorer entirely by ‘choco install Firefox’ and then managed to go through the painful web workflow VS community edition download.

I really wonder how I managed on Windows for so long in my former career. It’s night and day vs Linux or Mac.
