Sending one of these viral meme right wing videos…Slanted, edited, partisan stuff isn’t any better than what an average liberal person is thinking.

I hope the next link isn’t to a right wing influencer “owning the libs” by debating college kids who don’t spend dozens and dozens of hours a month on the topic.

A downside or more so against the “well why not” is time committed to this. There is limited time for things. In the US there was a viral video that showed things that actually occur at the state/provincial level. Where legislators vote for absentee legislators. Something like that should be handled first.

I know two people who didn’t have any form of [valid] ID for a year and multiple years, in each case. Recently. As adults. Forget going through research, studies, and such. Not letting either of them vote seems to be a downside to me. It took months of slowly prodding along to get each identification. Stuff that isn’t easy to do. Takes time. Obstacles that might be near impossible to do depending on your stage in life and if you have no one to help you.

> conspiracy theory

I don’t think being incredulous and doubting the words of major western political parties is a conspiracy theory.

Why are you for a conspiracy to withhold voting from people I know like above? /sarcasm

> the idea that the Electoral Commission is going to produce investigations of any worth is sheer fantasy given some of their previous missteps

[Completely] Doubting the electoral commission seems to fall in line with your viewing my take as a conspiracy theory.
Not really, because in a hierarchy like that, credit falls upwards to the highest level that didn't actively ignore the problem. Even if a leader just signs off a suggestion to prioritize it's still him making it a priority, not the person suggesting.
The company sure made a courageous stance protecting a site which advocates explicitly for accelerationist race wars, and another image board that was notorious for housing child abuse imagery and conspiracies which led to real-world deaths.

The answer to where a company should draw the line isn't 'OMG, slippery slope!' It's 'somewhere.' And preferably the CEO of the company shouldn't agonize about getting rid of stuff like the Daily Stormer and 8chan.

I wonder if these researchers are able to imagine a government mandating that all citizens must receive a vaccine.
I wonder if this blockchain thing could be a solution to this problem. Having that DAO thing taking care of these projects. Users buy tokens to fund the project and provide input. I don't know, the idea occurred to me now...

It's a bit frustrating that we can't even solve lack of maintenance on projects that aim to solve... lack of maintenance!
Anyone knows a creator-friendly video platform?
Segment registers are precisely how NT does context switching. I think it may be restricted to just switching from user- to kernel- threads. I can't remember if there's thread-to-thread switching using segment registers — I feel like this was a thing, or it was just a thing we did when we tried to boot NT on Larrabee. (Blech.)
Yes, especially if your entire universe of possible choices are almost identical to what you use now, by definition, everything under consideration offers no new ideas. Anything with actual new ideas is automatically excluded without consideration. This lets old farts talk about "picking the right tool for the job" and not realize how incredibly narrow-minded and intellectually dishonest they are.
Would something like this be accepted in open source projects that are not significantly driven by Google?

E.g. would Linux accept code for drivers / architectures that are not available to the public? I'm genuinely curious.
Isn't fluoride in drinking water a massive public health success? Bringing that example up makes me wonder if our laws are right to enable more success stories like that. (Not staking any position on whether the OP story about contagious vaccines meets the necessary safety bar. It's conceivable to me that it could go either way.)
You were talking about a future hypothetical, not a current or historical event.

To be fair, the article is walled off behind a mailing list signup CTA. Those of us not interested in signing up can't read it anyway.
The relevant discussion: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-February/0951...

Seems the maintainers were more than happy to accept it, and even had policies in place for such contributions. One maintainer even mentioned it's a good policy because it brings more developers into using LLVM's ToT, which is overall good for project health.
What? no, you can override !important many ways, for example # rules take precedence over . rules, so even if you have important in your . it could get overridden. If you obviously add inline style that will also override it, etc.
Are you referring to "window" the JavaScript object? If so, bear in mind that JavaScript is not a requirement for CSS to work on a page, and CSS creating a dependency on JS would break a lot of things.
While this plays out with OSS quite a bit, it's not limited to just free software.

You are almost always spending more on an early adopter than they are paying you for your software, but typically that's with the understanding that you are re-selling those solutions to new customers.

That hasn't always been the case. I've worked at a couple of startups where one of our customers was exuberant about how critical we were to their roadmap, but part of why they were so happy was because they were getting a sweetheart deal, and we couldn't figure out how to tell them no, or sign them to a more lucrative contract because the one they have is already so nice, they'd be fools to sign a different one.

And then they go pikachu face when we either went under or got sold to someone whose career (and probably no small part of their job satisfaction) was built around saying No if you were lucky, and Fuck you, Pay me if you weren't.
The markup is a huge issue, so many pockets to pay out. The multi-app issue is also quite rampant problem that I’m not sure how companies plan to address. I have some ideas. Thank you for your feedback here. So, if you could guarantee the same prices as in-house and that delivery was coming straight to you, but you still had to tip the driver, would you go back to using delivery?
>Presumably you think people who work in adtech, for example, are somehow morally inferior.

No. I think that's being presumptuous.

The point is not about calling people "morally inferior". Before thinking of yourself as underprivileged and above criticism, you should try to see that there are people less privileged than you that adtech is targeting (or preying on), and people much more privileged than either of us that profit from this work.

>I'd love to hear how these folks are changing the world for the better. It's much easier to tell others what they should do with their time and money.

No, absolutely not. It's really not me who has a pet peeve against adtech in particular, it's a whole lot of people from all walks of life. Do you think I want to feel "superior" and tell you that you're "inferior"? What good does it do to anyone to think like that, exactly?

Maybe I happen to do something that is less unpopular than adtech. Or maybe not. But if you think that's why I replied to you, you're missing the point.
Erm. Well, no. But having an externally-facing mailing list doesn't suggest a lack of internal email. Unless there's something I'm missing?
Thanks! Maybe their PMOS nature (P-ness?) is the reason for the annoying voltages? I mean a (contemporary) four-phase-logic shift register wouldn't need those voltages, and of course neither do CMOS shift registers. Though I guess a 1024-bit CMOS shift register would still need a pretty good clock drive current, especially if fabbed at those sizes.
I'm asking about end-user documentation, like a manual. Not, developer documentation. Sorry if that wasn't more clear.
You're not expecting the pricing for products in a marketplace, on a page labeled "marketplace"? I'm not sure how much more explicit it could get.

The loading time sure is dumb though, I agree. But that doesn't affect the number of clicks to take to find something, only the time (which arguably, is worse).

Also, you might want to investigate why your browser doesn't show any loading indicator when it's loading content. Firefox and Chrome should both do it by default, but if you're not seeing it maybe something is broken or you've changed some setting.
If the current approach is ended, it will be replaced with something, even if that is a laissez-faire "we don't know, so just let it sort itself out" approach. Will that something result in fewer horrors than those that exist now?

The onus is definitely on the persons wanting change to make an actual case for that change. So yes, it is their responsibility to present a vision of their alternative future that I will accept.

This seems cool, we bought a bunch of semi-cheap furniture for a vacation place so I could see how this is useful.

One question I have: how can you be sure "exact same product" is really the same. One item from Wayfair had a defect and I asked for a spare part (seat of a chair). The article came and looked the same but had different hole patterns and even threads. I had to redrill a bunch of holes to make it work.

Building in some kind of feedback loop for this kind of problem would seem really important to me.

Coming out of low power state (via pin or timer) has never been a problem. Until recently (March 2021) there was a problem turning off the 2.4GHz radio so it actually stopped using power.
Synthesizable verilog is a very small language compared to system verilog — especially in the 90s. Off the top of my head I know of six "just real quick" verilog simulators that I've worked with (one of which I wrote). I'm not sure how I feel about them. On one hand, I hate dealing with licenses; on the other hand, now you've got to worry that your custom simulation matches behavior with the synthesis tools. A lot of the "nonstandard" interpretation for synthesizable verilog from the bigs comes from practical understanding of the behavior for a given node. Most of that is captured in ABC files ... but not all of it.
You could argue that the effects of allowing violent rhetoric against an invading army is tantamount to allowing violent rhetoric against an ethnicity. Then we can have something to discuss. I would disagree, but it's not untrue.

What OP said is that violent rhetoric against an ethnicity (Russians) is allowed, which is not true.

You are of course aware that russophobia against ethnic Russians was the pretense by which Russia invaded Ukraine the first time. It was reprehensible then to conflate ethnic violence with nationalistic expansionist rationalizations, and it is reprehensible now.
Lol I only actually read it because of your comment. I think it is too creative to actually be GPT but it definitely has some hallmarks, in particular the sort of random drift across topics. Anyway, it's actually hilarious to read, I'd be interested to understand what the poster is thinking

What would the difference be? That's very obvious - just think about any kind of comic or light verse!

A rhyme dictionary would still not replicate human rhyming capabilities. Think about neologisms or misspellings. A model can memorize every single entry in the rhyming dictionary (and let's say this somehow cashes out as apparent rhyming proficiency in being able to for every word recall an entry in the rhyme dictionary of valid other words), but it would not be able to write something like "Jabberwocky" inventing a bunch of new words or phrases or names which rhyme. (How would it know to rhyme "wabe" and "outgrabe" when they appear in no dictionaries - because they were just invented?) A model which has "actually" learned to rhyme would be able to take new words (not necessarily invented by it, but possibly invented by humans after it was trained, or invented on the spot for a prompt, or part of a new fictional work like worldbuilding) and rhyme them appropriately. A model which has memorized a rhyming dictionary would not.
Have you heard of the expression "Prevention is better than cure"? I'd be interested to know how well you think it applies to vaccines.

I gotta say, if I was the BDFL of llvm, I would kick this out of tree without a second thought. Why on earth should a foss project support a private architecture?

Because strategy isn't binary. Putin expected to gain a certain amount of benefit and suffer a certain amount of cost. It seems like he's paying a higher cost than he'd predicted.

Damn, there are still people believing that you can just express what the intent behind an engineering tool was, and people will only ever use it if it matches that intent?

That would be crazy naive and I hope this person doesn't imply that.

Everybody is on a schedule. People reach for whatever is available. Doesn't matter what was the reason `!important` was added, at all. If it solves a real problem -- especially quickly -- then people will use and abuse it.
This is not passing along a cost. It is taking money out of one person's pocket and directly benefiting another person who has not paid.

This is a lot different than paying the amortized/allocated cost of utility and all that is needed to run the utility. Paying people's bills for them when they do not pay is not necessary to run the utility. It generates no utility (in this case, electricity). A peaker plant generates utility, and it has associated costs.

Businesses often pass on the costs of dealing with people who don't pay because it is efficient, not because it is right.
I was on Google's Web DevRel team for 6 years. Owned all the Chrome DevTools and Lighthouse docs for 4 years and led content strategy for https://web.dev and https://developer.chrome.com for 2 years. Lots of experience building small applications in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and I build toy apps in whatever frameworks are currently popular. I'm a technical writer by trade so I usually don't have time / motivation / business rationale to dive into a particular framework to the point of mastery but definitely am not a novice either!

Per-household limiting is not necessarily a bad technology. Especially
if everyone gets one, they can create fairness. But beware misuse.

And it's nothing new. I saw them out in Portugal. I stayed in a small
town up in the southern mountains and everyone had 10kW cap. The
reason was the limited pylon capacity. If everyone decided to use
their oven and washing machine at the same time the lines would fry
and the whole town would go out.

This emotionally charged article about the plight of a Canadian mother
with kids raises many hostile responses about the power company
because it's being used in an economically punitive way, which is
wrong. Overall this sits well with American commentators who say
"Fair play. You don't pay, you don't get". But that same attitude
usually runs to "If you can pay you should be allowed more than your
fair share".

Is that fair? So now I see similar logic playing out in California
over water. Why should some commercial consumers get to use the lions
share of the water while others have to watch every drop? In
traditional language it's "rationing". But if we add some
smart-metering technology, and some progressive marketing, then now
additional factors than economic power can be used to set limits.

Where will this end up? I think that's what the article is really
asking. There is an uneasy relation between technologies that
ostensibly "save energy" and them being used to squeeze out more
profit and enact more social control.
This is a hypothetical scenario and seems weird to create a debate around. Do you have explicit examples of YouTube censoring content that seems unfair?

For YouTube, they are appeasing advertisers who do not want to align their brands with provocative content. However, back to your example, just a quick search on YouTube right now shows hundreds of gay movie star videos and clicking on the first few of them launch with ads.

YouTube also tries hard to make interesting content that keep you engaged. Maybe you're okay with hyper sexualized content, but if you're not, YouTube would have a hard time bringing you back after losing you. I guess the same could be said for a content creator who leaves the platform, but seems YouTube made the calculus they have more to gain keeping a wider audience than having a wider range of content.
What if they can't afford to pay for what they need to stay alive? Poverty is a social issue and must be fixed by social means. In the meantime, the more fortunate can protect the lives and human rights of the poor by redistributing their surplus.

There was an unfounded conspiracy theory[1] spread in 2020 about Wayfair that continues[2] to affect its review scores. Also, many of the positive reviews from Appliances Connection are marked as having been solicited by Appliances Connection itself[3].

I've never used either site so maybe Appliances Connection is actually that much better than Wayfair but I don't think I would necessarily draw that conclusion from the Trustpilot results.

People being unable to pay their bills may be due to "flawed economic arrangements," it may be due to an act of God, or it may be up to their own irresponsible behavior.

Assuming it is only due to the first is dogmatic.
The usual answer is that customers should pay for "support" that they will not use (effectively a form of insurance), leaving the maintainer free to continue maintaining.

> In fact, there are millions of people energetically trying to create an internet that looks that way. The fediverse is a collection of free/open software projects designed to replace centralized servers like Facebook with decentralized alternatives that work in much the same way, but delegate control to the communities they serve. Groups of friends, co-ops, startups, nonprofits and others can host their own Mastodon or Diaspora instances and connect to as many of the other servers as will connect with them, based on their preferences and needs.
>
> The fediverse is amazing, but it’s not growing the way many of us hoped.

We'd see more growth if groups like the EFF were to support the underlying protocols on their own website. [They support RSS which is great, but can we see EFF commit to supporting the ActivityPub ecosystem?](https://imgur.com/a/kpP75B0)

> !important is #1 in the priority order I mentioned previously, so when you add !important to a CSS declaration, you throw out the first C from CSS.

So the exclamation mark basically takes on its 'linguistic meaning' that this particular definition should be given extra emphasis.

I was interpreting the "!" in this conversation as it is often used in tech, as a "not-" prefix. :)

Thanks.
The real world is a mixture of zero-sum and positive-sum games, and people do not like the idea that they and their descendants will be destined to lose (in a compounding way) every competition. After a few generations of selection you will have a large population of people who wouldn't be good starting points even if they could afford it, because their genomes would be far behind by that point. Unless you want that you happen, you'd better make sure that everybody gets it if anybody does.
