I love Joe. I use Spotify exclusively to listen to his podcast. I listen to every episode… I wish there was a way to tell them if it wasn’t for his show I’d never use their app but I suspect they already know that.

Unfortunately I think attacks on his having been prescribed ivermectin and his guests like the highly published cardiologist and the guy that contracts with the defense department and has patents related to MRNA really got on his nerves and recently he’s been leaning too hard into the “mainstream media lies” discussions, it’s nearly bordering on an obsession. I was surprised he was even discussing it with Jim Gaffigan.

We’re at a very bad place in American discourse. In a recent episode (past 2 weeks) Bill Maher quoted some survey that nearly a majority of Americans believe that we’re headed towards a civil war.

Attacking, degrading, deplatforming and silencing our fellow citizens is only going to push us further towards the brink.
I’m not trying to draw HDR content. I want to increase to overall UI brightness (basically, make the brightness of where backlight LEDs go past the software defined limit)

I’m testing Apple’s claim of 1000 nits sustained brightness which led many people to believe that they can finally use their laptop in direct sunlight without squinting at the screen.

I’m aware of thermal limitations and that even sustained might not mean “whole screen at 1000 nits for 8 hours”. But it would be nice to be able to use 1 hour of my work time to work in the park outside my apartment with a bright enough screen for that time.

The system has thermal capping implemented from what I saw in the CoreBrightness framework, so it should be safe as long as the system can detect that LEDs are starting to overheat and lower the brightness automatically.
Suppressing Joe Rogan is an organization expressing their free speech rights. Or perhaps you think organizations don’t have the right to control what is on their platform?
I didn't know Robocopy, a tool similar to Rsync, was built into Windows 10. Really simple tool to clone directories without a lot of switches.

Example: robocopy src dst /MIR
Except vaccine mandates are nothing new?
What about putting unruly airport staff on a similar list?

I trust everyone remembers a few years ago, when David Dao was dragged off a United flight for refusing to vacate a seat he had paid for [1].

> Dao, a pulmonologist and folk musician, refused to surrender his seat when requested because he needed to see patients the following day. Chicago Department of Aviation Security officers (ASO) were called to remove him from the plane; in the process, they struck Dao's face against an armrest, then pulled him, apparently unconscious, by his arms along the aircraft aisle past rows of onlooking passengers.

It's something that really doesn't get talked about enough. So much of modern tech is just abstraction on top of abstraction, being able to get in there and play around in those same spaces as your tools is important, though.

I've been doing this with Flutter recently. Turns out it is both a toolkit and a package/platform. If you take out all the 'flutter' code, you're left with something that looks like sdl or glfw, just written in Dart. And it 100% has made me a better Flutter dev to do so. I now get a lot more of _how_ Flutter's drawing loop works, and how the framework beneath reduces all of app startup to one `runApp` call.

Not being able to inspect the insides of a tool easily is a major turn off to me on anything.
I actually like the Linkedin vibe. It’s like an alternate reality where everyone is always congratulating everyone else on their accomplishments! And shipping stuff! And investing in their careers! Seriously though, for some reason all this “The Office” stuff would be awkward and cringey in real life, but in an online format it works? Somehow? It’s similar to how an internet argument can be often way more rage inducing than a real life one, but with positive emotions instead.
I think part of the larger challenge here is that the laws put the responsibility for enforcement on airlines. Flight attendants didn’t sign up and aren’t trained to be law enforcement officers.

More stringent, wider ranging consequences add teeth to FA authority and more importantly would prevent some people from challenging the rules in the first place.
The only NDAs I'm familiar with are with vendors... maybe different in other fields.
> I'm hoping he's not a sellout and this situation results in his move to some decentralized platform.

What platform? Why do you need a platform? Podcasts were already 100% open. No platform necessary.
>When consumers protest a business, they're using speech, not 'pressure,' because in that context 'pressure' isn't a real thing.

This isn't true in the age of social media. A relatively small protest (i.e. not large enough to register on their financials) can create a disproportionate amount of bad press which can exert pressure on a company to act. Manipulating social media algorithms to surface your grievance to the top of the trending list is a kind of pressure.
Maybe someday web 7.0 will remember than engagement doesn't equal quality and there's a long enough tail of people that would pay for a good search engine that they'd support your small company just fine, and the hockey sticks, venture capitalists, and the masses can go drown in adwords.

> Do they also complain about censorship and shout at the manager of a shoe store for not selling books?

No. Censorship is the suppression of speech.

If you don't sell a book because you don't think it fits your store, or you don't think it's profitable, that's not censorship.

But if you refuse to carry a book SPECIFICALLY because you don't like the message, then that IS censorship.

Some forms of censorship are illegal, and some forms are legally required. But that doesn't mean that it's not censorship just because you agree with that's being censored.
As a free speech absolutist, I will never stop someone from saying that free speech should be curtailed. To do so would be antithetical the the principle of free speech.
And more than that, like Howard Stern before, some of his popularity comes from that edginess. So it's both the thing people came for, and the thing others are trying to get away from.
Ah, the old appeasement trap. The censormongers who demanded their collection leave Spotify aren't going to come back now that Spotify has caved. And the people who wanted Spotify to have Joe are going to be pissed off and leave. This is a no win scenario now for Spotify. I have never listened to old Joe, but I can tell you I have paid Spotify for the last time. My small contribution doesn't mean anything in the context of their user counts, but if they were going to fold they should have done it immediately so they didn't lose the first half of content.
Tetris can be programmed on a computer, ergo anything that is Turing Complete can simulate Tetris. What am I missing?
Eventually sites like reddit will go the way of Digg and meme culture will move on or evolve.
> That's not censorship, it's business

No, it most certainly is censorship. It is also business. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I'd also note that it is completely legal, but that I (personally) think that such practices are harmful.

> shout at the manager of a shoe store for not selling books?

A shoe store? That's not a good analogy. I wouldn't complain that Spotify doesn't offer downloads of popular software, would I?

Would people complain if Barnes & Noble suddenly pulled a number of "controversial" books from their shelves after public outcry?
What is Microsoft Stream?

Node.js v17.5 introduces support for fetch() – a popular cross-platform HTTP client API that works in browsers and Web/Service Workers – as an experimental core feature.
The thresholds kick in over the long term, plenty of time for humanity to counteract, meanwhile Russia gains. Also, the current Russian government will happily sacrifice X million Russians so long as it gains the ruling regime internally and externally - which this process will by default.
> Can you explain a scenario where the innocent customers get crushed under the wheels of the well oiled machine?

All the people who have their Google or Apple accounts closed or their Paypal or bank accounts frozen with no explanation and no recourse. All the news about newborns and toddlers being denied boarding planes (or facing extra scrutiny, which is easy to temporarily resolve at the gate when the kid is 3 but becomes harder and harder until impossible to resolve as they get older and reach adulthood) because their name is like someone on the list. The French woman whomwas mistakenly declared officially dead and has been fighting for years to be recognized as alive and be able to renew her driver's license/healthcare coverage/passports/etc.

The world is full of these examples. We should avoid adding more to it.

I grew up same as you, and you took the words out of my mouth.

People who grew up secular are completely unaware of how Southern Baptist in style all of this canceling and moralizing is. Like the church ladies, they turn moralizing into a competitive sport, and everyone loses.
What do you mean? It's a bit rich to hear airlines talk about putting unruly passengers on lists, while the behavior of unruly staff is supported.
Best advise I got for LinkedIn is.. remove connections ruthlessly based on content they are posting.

I guess this is applicable to most of the social networks out there. It really cleaned up my feed.
Nintendo is my favorite tech company because of their willingness to make massive, fearless bets on revolutionary new products. How they are able to constantly and consistently innovate at such a high level, decade after decade, is absolutely amazing to me.

Even their flops are amazing! I will always remember the first week after the Wii U launched in 2012 during Thanksgiving break. My 10yo son had a bunch of friends over and we played Nintendoland all week - four Wiimotes and the tablet. So much fun and such great memories.

Actually, this post has just inspired me to read up on Nintendo. There must be a decent business book or two about them. Any recommendations? The video game industry is the odd duck out in the tech world in my opinion - their production and sales cycles alone are so long (how many years did BotW take to make?), but I bet there'd still be a lot to learn from a product design perspective.
What is with some of the responses in this thread! I understand some cases are not so clear, but if you do something as blatant as punch a flight attendant in the face I think that’s grounds to be put on such a list. There should be a policy so that after a period (or going through some program) you could then be removed from the list though..

It actually blew my mind when I heard that you could assault someone on a plane and not be instantly banned
the only reason i still use linkedin is to follow chad profitz. a biting satirical take on the linkedin persona:

"SHARE if you think it’s about time that LinkedIn allowed British people to join the site!"
That would get awkward fast because of all the songs using that word.
But doesn’t apply to corporations?
Why do you think censorship only applies when governments do it
From a user perspective it seems like a bad idea to talk about finance and do trades using an account at single company? I wouldn't want my bank account connected to my Reddit account, or any other social media account. It seems excessively centralized?
He was on Kids in the Hall, Newsradio, and had his ex wife demand more money than he could make.
The entire world makes jokes about USA and a lot of them treats it as their duty to comment and laugh about various aspects of USA. This is human, and it is what makes global society great. You just want to screech about something. You couldn't even use a real account for it. You knew you aren't being a good sport.
Naples is not a region though, it doesn't make any sense to compare that in this conversation. Maybe Campania would work though.
I'll join in:

I'm building a tool called MicroKeys. It's a macro program, for Windows right now. It uses MicroPython as the script engine to let you register hot keys that do things. It's very much a work in progress right now.

I'm writing it to fill a very specific niche I have, but if it's useful to others, I'd love to hear feedback on what it could do to be better to help it come to fruition.

Cancel culture. Here I come...
It's not conservative. It's puritanical, however. Political tribalism has filled the void left by the diminishment of religious tribalism.
Ahh well. Good game all. It's been two years, we are never escaping this.
Or it could be the opposite. I have a high-end gaming PC. I have a Switch. They feel pretty much interchangeable to me when it comes to graphics. The difference is nights and day...and I don't care one bit.

Frame rate is another story and definitely an issue with the Switch, mostly BECAUSE they try to push the graphics too far. Mario Odyssey runs at 60fps. It's not as good as what my PC and monitor can display, but it's...okay. Too many games can't keep 30fps because they just had to put more shadows and polygons for no good reason. Still, for the most part I have just as much fun with it as I do with PC games. I have both just for variety. I use an Nvidia Shield TV when I want to play the PC games on the couch.

Looking forward to the Steam Deck though. Being able to play Monster Hunter Rise's PC version in a form factor similar to the Switch will be quite nice.
This paper repeatedly states that it’s PSPACE, but I see no evidence that it’s Turing complete.
This is also the case for me on Instacart. Search for 1 item first screen is just ads.
Does the reason for which you burn a book change the name of the act?
Computationally this is correct, however the tetris complete definition also sets requirements to interface with the outside world, in particular the timing and I outs aren't covered by turing completeness. a turing cokplete system could require villions of years to simulate a game of tetris and still be turing complete.
The issue isn't whether Neil Young's speech act was in accordance with free speech--it was. The issue is whether his speech act was indented to curtail the speech of another--it was. These claims are not in contradiction.
A simple, convention-based authorization model for REST APIs that removes the guesswork from some of the design decisions and results in a flexible and future-proof design.
It almost looks to me like early immigration was driven by available land, and later immigration by available jobs. That would mirror migration trends within the country as well.
I was already primed to leave Spotify because of that very tension. I never had any desire to play music and podcasts in the same app: I swap between them pretty fluidly and the separate apps keep everything in context.

So the second that the podcast side started to interfere with the music side in the slightest, I dipped.
I think the combination of real identities and the fact that you expect past, current and future employers and colleagues to see you on LinkedIn means “positivity” and affirmation is essentially forced on you, lest you be seen as “negative” or not a “team player”.

No one will ever contradict anything on LinkedIn because of that, which is why it becomes such a circle jerk.
>Yes, speaking to someone in an attempt to pressure them not to speak to someone else is indeed a form of speech.

No, it isn't merely a form of speech. It's free speech. It's just as free as any other kind of speech. Free speech allows for conflict with speech, and it doesn't guarantee all speech all possible platforms.

You don't get to decide that only the speech you agree with gets to be free, but speech that disagrees with that doesn't.

Wow, yeah there's got to be something else that's causing these to be pulled down. Like maybe one of the advertisers in the episode isn't aligned with or allowed by Spotify. Or maybe Joe played a small clip of music that Youtube didn't catch but Spotify did and doesn't have the rights to play. I remember in a lot of those earlier episode Joe would play a lot of videos and random things sometimes with music.
It makes me feel like a kid again.
I think this would be more interesting/impressive if they color-coded the buckets so you could see how often they make full circuits.
Did you read the last sentence?
The White House verbally stated they wanted Spotify to take action.

When a government tells a company to act, there is always an implicit "or else". That is defacto censorship.
It is “anti cancelation” [sic]: Rogan is no longer the one facing the results of his speech, Spotify is.

That’s basically what so-called canceling is about: asking people to own for their speech.
Please prove modern economy is a pyramid scheme.
I continue to object to the CSS one, because it's just applying a couple gates / arithmetic operations at a time and you have to manually copy the data to the next iteration.

Turing completeness is already a low bar, because arithmetic+iteration is enough, and this doesn't clear the bar.
I'm using Pop!_OS, I dont know if I have the update installed or not. For me Pop!_OS is the best distro, since Fedora keeps bugging me out. I'm mostly a RHEL person.
>First Amendment

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I think it is reasonable to assume that when the vast majority of Americans refer to "free speech" they are making reference to the Bill of Rights and the First amendment. Unfortunately, most people don't seem to understand that, with regards to speech, the 1st amendment is only about preventing government from curtailing speech. It doesn't say any private individual or company has to allow all speech.
Is it a lost battle? http://newpodcastingapps.com/
HN moderation for those of us who have been here longer than some posters have been alive, this place is a lot different than it used to be, and moderation now tends to stifle conversations that in the past would have spawned great conversations that remained civil. Dang and friends do their best but for the most part the community is better off self censoring and exploring ideas and concepts without guidance and supervision. Unfortunately as more people flock to a gold rush a tragedy of the commons occurs and the site starts to see dang and team as absolutely necessary for each discussion when frankly they shouldn't be obviously seen guiding discussion.
> Delta previously called on other airlines to share their unruly passenger “no fly” list to ensure individuals "who have endangered the safety and security of our people do not go on to do so on another carrier," Bastian wrote.

With companies competing, things could get heated with rival company pilots, flight attendants and executive teams being “accidentally” inserted in the no-fly list. Algorithm error strikes again, how unfortunate (shrug).
I'm sure the motivation of many book burners of the past was also to save the would-be readers from eternal hell. Possible good motivations don't justify censorship.

You could argue that in this particular case censorship probably won't even be effective. Rogan is seen as a something of a censorship martyr by quite a few people now, Streisand effect and all.

Also, there's the fact that most of the removed episodes have nothing to do with Covid-19.
The main value JRE has is in its guests.

The host is a broken record increasingly with an agenda who flies an "I'm a moron" disclaimer in the same breath as speaking authoritatively on whatever controversial fire he wishes to give more oxygen to.

At least nowadays most the interesting guests go on other podcasts when they're making the rounds, so JRE's unique value has greatly diminished.
This just seems like some more optimistic inverse form of siver's rule not to tell anyone and zip it

"Tests done since 1933 show that people who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen.

Announcing your plans to others satisfies your self-identity just enough that you’re less motivated to do the hard work needed.

In 1933, W. Mahler found that if a person announced the solution to a problem, and was acknowledged by others, it was now in the brain as a “social reality”, even if the solution hadn’t actually been achieved.

NYU psychology professor Peter Gollwitzer has been studying this since his 1982 book “Symbolic Self-Completion” (pdf article here) — and recently published results of new tests in a research article, “When Intentions Go Public: Does Social Reality Widen the Intention-Behavior Gap?”

Four different tests of 63 people found that those who kept their intentions private were more likely to achieve them than those who made them public and were acknowledged by others."
I/O is covered by Turing completeness. Whether timing is depends significantly on how exactly you want to formalize things, but certainly any TC system has the capacity to keep track of time if the pieces are manipulated at a constant rate.
> they will inevitably alienate a bunch of folks

Because they still carry a podcaster you disagree with and don't listen to? I don't see people alienated by Comcast because their basic cable subscription has FOX News and MSNBC.
Neither is abuse of powers implemented in the heat or passions of a crisis...

Yet nevertheless, both still persist.
The sources are rarely stolen. I used to work in this area for a large e-commerce company and generally what happened is a retail partner would have a sale on gift cards (15% off or something like this), and organized people who did this for a living would buy up multiple thousands in discounted gift cards, often chaining other discounts to get up to 20-25% off.

In our case, the arbitrage operators would try to extract the money themselves by using gift cards to buy goods that retain value well (Apple products, gaming consoles etc) to resell. The company is taking a hit, but it's often not outright theft. Technically, they're just savvy customers.

As for this case, it sounds like he's buying from genuine wholesale distributors who get gift cards from below face value anyway.

Retail outlets would never agree to sell gift cards without clipping the ticket, therefore they aren't paying $100 for the $100 gift card they sell you.
Am I wrong, or were they prosecuted for making explosive substances, among other things, not for minecraft?
From a description of the case in Wikipedia [1]:

I think the interpretation makes a lot of sense actually.

number.day -> timedelta
timedelta.ago -> current time minus delta

2.months.from_now

3.months.after 2.days.ago

1.day + 2.weeks

Given the choice between

and

2.years.from_now

in a language that uses idioms like

1.step(to: 10) {|x| print x }

I think it's totally natural.
