I was thinking the same thing. I recently found apps that let you see the direction of sunrises and sunsets (as well as moon directions) for any given location, but you wouldn't really know if the view is obstructed.
Geez, only a few months ago I noticed that synergy wasn't in APT anymore and had to learn about (and set up) barrier.

Now it's forked again?! I don't know what, but this smells like something bad.
>There's no way around having trust.

Yes there is. The alternative is open information and critical evaluation. This isn't giving up.

I consider trusting censors to decide what information can be consumed to be giving up. Blindly thinking whatever you are told is the truth.

Who do you trust to limit the information you consume?

> 2) assumption that downranking info that almost all fact checkers agree is false is a slippery slope will lead to downranking info that consensus reality says is true

You mean I should put my trust in random doofuses who police narrative more than fact.

Say, is a person a terrorist or not?

Well, they belonged to an organization that bombed buildings and committed armed robberies. The person was also convicted of possessing hundreds of pounds of explosives.

But! They have the right politics, so it earns a "Mixed" rating and squirming about the lack of "a universal definition of terrorism" so you can't really say that yeah, the person was a terrorist. Maybe they had the bombs to admire them peacefully with no intent of ever handing anything over to other members of a criminal organization she was explicitly a part of.

That's the problem. Fact-checking is checking whether Californians like something, not a check of whether the facts actually line up.
If you train on obvious cases its not going to be a guarantee that your model is robust on less obvious cases.
> ...The word "siloviki" made from "силовые структуры", which may be translated literally as "structures of force"...

"siloviki" => members/heads of the law enforcement and security agencies, read "enforcers". But "hard men" passes the forceful connotation well enough.
There surely needs to be some incorporation of need into the calculations. The rich control enough of our resources that they are unlikely to be put off by a tax, whereas everyday people would be crippled by taxes high enough to make a difference.

What I like about platforms like this is the possibilities they open up for major players to experiment with weird form factors again. Basically the cost of software development, mostly.

I loved some of the insane designs prior to manufacturers deciding that the iPhone form factor was the way forward.

That said, Moto/Google did try something like this once, "Project Ara" which never really went much of anywhere. It led to a few modules being released for the Moto G and that was it. (IIRC)
This is so great. It reminds me of what BugLabs was doing about ten years ago, but this is honestly better.

Display performance switching between files in Safari is terrible on very large PRs. I don't know what it could be doing. Maybe something to do with text reflow? But it's almost unusable.
All of your questions are irrelevant in the US because the First Amendment guarantees Spotify and YouTube the right to speech. They can't be forced by the government to broadcast Trump or Rogan.

It's like asking if it's better for the government to take away everyone's guns. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it doesn't matter because of the Second Amendment.

If you want to prevent corporate censorship, the solution is to break up near-monopolies like YouTube, Google, and Audible, not to force private companies to stop curating their content catalogs.
Medellín in Colombia sometimes described as the city of eternal spring is known for its perfect climate. In addition it's a very vibrant city.
It’s a lot more complex than you may realize. We have a transparency solution known as Certificate Transparency. For a “verisign” issued cert to be trusted in the browser, there must be an append only record of the cert stored in a blockchain. If Russia overrides a local trusted root, all bets are off an CTlog is not used. You can trust the CA because malicious issuance is a death sentence. And we have logs for all eternity.
Can we at least be honest?

Come on. Gas taxes are hilariously regressive. The people—ALL the people—who can afford this kind of dumbass vehicle and who are willing to commit the offense of buying and operating it will never, ever be affected or restricted or motivated by any piddly gas taxes.

So, no. No. Of course it's not actually accomplished by gasoline taxes. That's a fantasy.

If you made gas taxes 1-2 orders of magnitude more progressive than they are right now, that would be a tiny start.

I live in Japan; other parts of Asia have the same usual Japanese combini brands (I’ve lived in Shanghai and spent time all around China, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, HK, Singapore, Korea), they are nice but admittedly I have no idea if they also satisfy the vast breadth of services that you can do at the Japanese ones (shipping and receiving packages, getting documents from your local government, paying all your taxes, buying tickets to events and travel, faxing documents internationally, and more - I have used all of these many many times and am glad they’ve had them), not to mention the glut of variety of snacks, sweets, full meals, very well executed frozen foods, and warm prepared foods, all of which are delicious, often competitive with eating out. They’re always sparkling clean and usually can do everything without any hassle or even talking to another person, within seconds. Amazing operations if you ask me.

I have been all around the North American continent; there are no places as far as I know that have anything remotely as nice as a Japanese convenience store anywhere there. American drug stores absolutely suck in comparison and all the food they sell are pretty much disgusting in comparison. Everywhere I’ve been to in the Middle East (Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Turkey) also lacks analogous businesses as far as I recall.

I don’t know the current state of convenience stores in Europe since I haven’t dropped by anywhere in the last several years, but in my travels of Germany, Italy, and Iceland, I don’t recall ever seeing anything analogous. Maybe I just didn’t know to look for.

I have also been to parts of India, and once again, maybe I didn’t know what to look for but didn’t see anything analogous there either (though the explosion in delivery businesses as of late looks interesting, but a different category altogether).

So yeah; I’m interested in knowing what experiences you’ve had that make you confident I’m living under a rock.
What I’m most interested in is if there is a correlation between between their emotional lifetime grunt series (or subset) and the consensus taste of their meat as opined by tastemakers and aficionados.

Define "their government"?
Do they own the oligarchs and bureaucrats that rule Russia?

If the country I happen to be citizen of launch a war, like it did recently, say in Lybia, am I responsible of this because I failed to predict that the government for which I did not vote would start that war?

You seam to strongly believe that reality is divided into countries. I think this largely fictional view obscures everything in our present situation.

I'd add versatility to that list too. With DRM free files you can edit songs, remix individual tracks, create mashups of multiple songs, create your own mix-tapes/compilations, use them in your own videos and projects, convert them unto whatever formats you want etc.

They're also amazing for portability. Every phone, desktop PC, laptop and tablet I have can play MP3s, and while most can also run spotify, the same can't be said for all the TVs, DVD/blu-ray players, CD players, ebook readers, and game consoles that support MP3. It must have been an easy bullet point to add to a feature list because I see MP3 and other music formats supported in a huge number of devices. I've seen it supported in GPS navigation devices, alarm clocks, children's toys, workout equipment, and toothbrushes
After Russia invaded Ukraine nearly two weeks ago, President Joe Biden announced new sanctions, including cutting more than half of Russia's high-tech imports.

"It'll degrade their aerospace industry, including their space program," Biden said during a White House address Feb. 24.

If you're advocating for a single tax, let it at least be LVT [1].

But seriously, the point of this Finnish tax is to internalize externalities of vehicles that contribute excessively to global warming. Even if there's some loopholes it's still shaping consumer behavior by making you jump through them... and if the jump is too easy, they can just continue making the loopholes smaller.

Thinking this tax is for meeting the government's budget is missing the point. It would serve its purpose just as well if you were required to burn the money instead of giving it to the government.

Not ironic is the least.

When Jews were being murdered by the millions, nothing was done. Countries turned ships full of Jewish refugees around some of who went back to Europe and perished.

It’s pretty clear that nobody will look after Jews but other Jews and Jews will have no refuge except in a Jewish state.

I recall that Palestinian leaders made a state visit to Singapore and the then Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew, famously pragmatic, said “You’ll never defeat Israel militarily. Why? They have nowhere else to go.”
The kind of person who can afford this won’t enjoy the speeding ticket if they remove the speed limiter. Finland issues fines based on income. They’ll avoid the tax, but pay it in other ways.
Nissan did something similar with their gtr 30 years ago, limiting the boost to skirt Japanese regulations but its apparently easy to remove the limiter and put down a lot more horsepower.

Indeed, people outside the US (especially Europeans) don't really grasp the scale of the US interstate highway system. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, "The United States is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

It's so big, that if you're driving long distances over the middle of the country you have to make sure you stop for fuel and food and a biology break whenever you get the chance, because there's no guarantee you're going to be able to find a place in flyover country.
They are, in fact, what the Stasi were modeled after.
Pretty much every major city is seeing skyrocketing housing prices amid wage stagnation. The economy is driving homelessness. Progressive policies attempt to serve the homeless population where in place, authoritarian policies house and feed the homeless in jails. Either approach works in a steady state, but they're addressing symptoms and not the root cause, a sick economy.
Single Sign On works beautifully in the Windows environment. Logon to one workstation, access any server's file or print shares, SQL server, IIS websites, and tons of third party software without any logon prompts but still with granular permissions.

One of those things people who say "I don't understand why anyone uses Windows" don't understand. Something so pervasive and convenient that "we" the industry have given up in moving everything to the web, along with standard menus, ubiquitous keyboard accelerators for menus and dialog boxes, scripting with the likes of COM, ActiveX, AppleScript, or embedded Python/Lua, local snapshots or volume shadow copy, tools like DNSpy and AutoHotkey and SysExporter able to introspect into running programs and their windows and system controls (and they generally weren't obfuscated javascript inside), being able to see different programs in task switchers without them all being wrapped in a web browser.

It was a different and in many ways better world 10-15 years ago.
I was just thinking that I should expand the point to illustrate what I mean when I saw your reply -- I wasn't clear. The article I posted is about the actions of the mayor, but I was using it as an example of petty discrimination, without explaining why.

The point I was indirectly making, was that there was vocal support from other Jewish Israelis in the area. It's highly probable that among those protesters, there are many such people where if they were selling their property, they would not obligingly sell to the best offer if it came from an Arab Israeli. My personal opinion is that there would be many who would not make the sale (there are also many many Jewish Israelis who would, of course). This one concrete case becomes in all likelihood many examples of the exact thing we're talking about.

I do agree that there are some judicial checks in place against some such cases.

Yes, it is more complex to repair, and requires more skills.
Yes, some features can be disable remotely, like Apple could do on your phone, Amazon on your Alexa, Google on your Nest, etc.

How does this apply to not needing queues? I suppose you can rely on your language runtime to juggle the various jobs and concurrent threads (analogous to workers), but then you lose a lot of the benefits of having an explicit MQ system. If your system goes down, for example, you’ll lose all the in-progress work.

Actually, is that the point I was missing? That the benefits of an explicit MQ system are not always required, so it can be simpler to just rely on the async primitives of your language?
You can build a distributed SQL database on top of FDB, or some other kind of database. It has everything you need to build primary and secondary indexes, including not just transactions but also being able to specify weaker consistency guarantees, the sort of stuff that is useful for internals like, IIRC, building secondary indexes in the background such that they don't conflict (much?) with writes. Its API is very, very nice for this.

For example, there is a MongoDB layer on top of FoundationDB: https://www.foundationdb.org/blog/announcing-document-layer/
Weird timing. I was just dealing with an issue related to this.

I had a work a phone. I restored an image to my personal iPhone and just today tried to sign on to Youtube. It redirected me to the SSO page for my former employer's page. Why? I guessed I'd signed on to my corp Google account on my phone at some point and it remembered. Googling didn't find an easy answer. There was no opt out button (on the login screen or on YT) and no clear way to bypass it. After some googling I ended up just deleting every Google related cookie on my phone and that seemed to clear it up.

This is a terrible user experience.

But even when you are signed in to more than one account it's terrible. You get a link to a Google doc, click on it and it says "you don't have permission". More often than not Google has decided to try as your personal Google account not your corp account. But I bet there is a ton of confused people who click "Request Access" and are confused why it doesn't work.

I haven't experienced the author's issue of 43 sign-ons a day. Sounds like a bad enterprise setup.

I'm not sure what the solution to this is but my first thought is resource ownership should be clear from the URL eg it should use a domain name other than google.com. There are probably problems with that. Whatever the case, currently it's terrible.

More often than not I find myself segragating Google accounts by browser (or browser profile). That's a pretty clear sign the product experience, well, sucks.

Putin surrounded himself with yes men. These people are afraid to displease Putin and end up taking shortcuts left and right to give him what he wants. Only fear is keeping this system from crumbling, they’re all afraid of eachother.

“ Soldierov told the British Times that it could well be that the FSB had realistic knowledge of the situation in Ukraine - the only question was what was passed on to Putin.

"The problem lies in the fact that it is often risky for those responsible to tell Putin things that he doesn't want to hear," Soldierov said.”

I'd say we just gotta be careful with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (like you seem to indicate as well), which is like the name says a syndrome. So basically nobody can find out why and your illness gets subsumed under a "syndrome" that is based on the symptoms you're showing.

This makes it really prone to have different actual causes subsumed under this. I'm pretty sure I could've been diagnosed with this if I had continued talking to doctors, being sent from one specialist to the next. In the end I figured out what caused my fatigue myself and I'm feeling better than ever. This was way pre-Covid btw.
Of course, there was never a time in history when Russians were responsible for making maps of Ukraine. /s

Coronavirus FAQ – What Does Endemic Mean? – Are We There Yet?
Practical? Practical? That's laughable.

It's not even good for groceries, for reasons anyone who has actually bought groceries can readily fathom. You want your groceries in a backseat or in a trunk, not in the cab of this stupid testosterone-poisoning-advertising machine.

In any warm climate, you don't want your groceries out in the hot sun while you drive home, and in any cold climate, you don't want them damaged by that weather, either.

A Honda Civic is 20x more practical and carries 2.5x more passengers and gets 5x better mileage.

If you want to roll coal, fine, but just admit it. Let's not pretend this vehicle is in ANY way "practical". It's just not.

This is interesting because I tried Yandex for the first time after this DDG debacle, and I found it solved a major problem I have with every other popular search engine - Yandex respected my actual query and gave me the correct results every time, instead of trying to mind read me and mangle the results like the other ones. Google always does it, DDG started doing it some time ago, and unfortunately Brave search also seems to do it.

I understand there's probably a reason others do it - maybe that that's what's needed to serve a general audience, they're optimising the results for my 70 yr old dad and 10 yr old niece. But that does mean that using them is a frustrating experience for me half of the time, of quoting everything and micromanaging the query terms so that they understand that I do mean this specific thing rather than this overgeneralised idea they seem to parse from it. Yandex was a breath of fresh air in that respect.
