> 2. This idea that you're being deplatformed or marginalised because years of your archives are no longer available in a free and easily accessible format from someone else is not supported by call outs to MLK, Malcolm X, etc. Even if you accept the idea that they had free and unfettered access to public broadcasting (ha!), there was absolutely no easy way to get access to the archives of that on demand! The speakers themselves, and their organisations, had to manage that.

There wasn't? I remember going through the catalogs in the public library as a kid, looking at the microfilm, even listening to some audio recordings. Even a public library had loads of information, and the thought of it being made inaccessible on an arbitrary whim was unthinkable. Sure, it's not comparable to the reach of today's instant broadcast via Internet, but it was the equivalent of the time.

Maybe in the time of Jim Crow or something certain public libraries would censor this stuff. I honestly don't know. It just seems to not jibe with my experience as a kid getting information at the library.
On the one hand:

Posting content online & expecting it to stick around, and perhaps getting banned years down the road & losing it

To:

Whether or not we should have an expectation of our activity in stores/malls/parks accessible publicly & to us in pereptuity.

Can you spot the difference? Is it clear to others that these cases aren't the same? This is a question of expectation & intent. No one has a reasonable expectation that what we do in a store/mall/park endure & be remembered. When we post into comments & threads in public spaces, and it lasts for years, & gets removed for some fault or issue, obliterated forever, that's a surprising change. What we did in parks has never been part of the public discourse. What we do online always has been. The differences are obvious. What we do online, for many of us, speaks much more closely to who we really are, because we are entailed into the bigger conversations happening, operating in a global sphere. Your local sphere probably isn't that relevant, and it was never going to be preserved anyways.

Generally I just think it's bad form to assert your own priorities & value-systems over everyone elses. I don't think you've allowed room for other ways of seeing things. I think there's a lot of relative merits to both. Our online identities contain a lot of carefully-constructed thought that we would clearly want to be able to access, that most people will be free to access: the denial of that, in a shocking surprising manner, is obviously harmful & traumatic. Trying to steamroll that basic fact with some kind of Real World Real Talk comes off way bad to me.
It seems like it[1], as long as you can spell Tiananmen correctly.

Thank you! Glad I didn't give up on the doodles (they take a lot longer than you'd think).
How do these cases not result in mass prosecutions?

It shouldn't be too hard to tie a few people to the abuse at these schools, then police say, "give us names and help us understand who was responsible at the top, or you're looking at many, many years in prison for child abuse and we'll just find someone else who'll talk"

You know, the same way prosecutors go after mobsters and drug rings
Just like the Internet. When getting online at all was an IQ test the discourse was stellar. Sadly September came and never went.
What is it that you actually need? Latency? Jitter?

The "good" news is that most bare metal hosts like Equinix and SoftLayer haven't caught up to Nitro so they use traditional NICs.

And if you can use the OFED API, have you tried the Elastic Fabric Adapter?
It does seem problematic that on some level we treat YouTube (and Twitter, and to a lesser extent other platforms like Spotify) as a sort of public square or generic "communications utilities"; the default virtual place we go to hear and be heard, open to all.

Of course, as they exist now, they are technically and legally nothing of the sort, which is a big reason why this specific complaint is tedious, absurd, and self refuting. Obviously he wasn't "disappeared", obviously there's no right beyond the terms of whatever contracts you have signed for arbitrary corporations to host video files for you, obviously all those videos he claims are "gone" still exist on the internet (hosted by a different corporation, at least for now...), obviously almost all of his claims are factually wrong.

Still...

...it feels like it'd be nice if we did have something a bit like the YouTube (and Twitter, and Apple App Store, and Spotify, etc.) that he seems to vaguely imagine exists? If I want to post my thoughts on my own space on the internet I can still throw up a website. That's good! And yet almost every other area I look, I see walled gardens and closed platforms that can (and do) censor their users at a drop of the hat.

I don't know if the Fediverse, as it exists today, is a step towards a solution for this, but man, I think we need one.
IBM SHARE predates both BSD and FSF. Open Source used to common, especially before portable binaries.
> I suspect its the latter, and i suspect its confirmation that the last decade of rennaisance for Rolex is starting to impact the bottom line at Swatch.

Not even close, Swatch Group is the largest part manufacturer and was previously required by Swiss Anti-trust authorities to supply their own competitors with parts. It’s only in the last decade Swatch Group has been able to begin terminating contracts to supply competitors with the goal of not supplying any brands outside Swatch Group. These changes have hurt everyone but Swatch.

Pretty much in the last 2 years every luxury Swiss watch has set their own sales records, and Omega is no different, they can’t meet demand.

The bioceramic (i.e. plastic) MoonSwatch is about meeting the demand for Omega while being able to sell it under the Swatch brand. Rolex has the same problem not being able to meet demand, but they don’t have the luxury of being able to print and sell plastic watches.
is there a table of content somewhere?
I suspect a lot more LoC are fetched when you visit youtube anyway, even if it is edge-optimized
This may be because St. George's seems to have no longer have any municipal government per https://www.nowgrenada.com/2017/05/continued-uglification-ur...
“Code-cad” as they put it clearly appeals to a lot of people, and more CAD is good. But as a long time mechanical engineer and robotics engineer what I really want is a completely open source parametric cad program that is as good as Solidworks or OnShape. FreeCAD is an impressive project but clearly needs more resources to ever compete. Solvespace seems cool and I want to play with it more, but I can’t comment on how good it is as I have only tinkered. I do wish the Solvespace UI was more akin to tools I am familiar with (OnShape or Solidworks).
Sure, let's compare a third party removing their archives of my stuff with people being detained, tortured, etc.... can't see any issue!

Brainwashing, for better or worse, has already been weakened. So someone using that term today is using it in a very different context. Time and context matters.
At best, the article seems disjointed and confused...then suddenly sort of resolves things in one vague and creepy paragraph. Reasonably symbolic of a teen in such circumstances, but the author hasn't been a teen for quite a few years.

I finished it thinking "Yeah, the current system is a really poor fit for a lot of teens, and the 'corrective system' is crap too...but that was old news decades ago. The author offer no insight, no better idea, nothing."
Clunky UI.
Paper normally lasts millennia if not burned or wet. Pulp paper is the exception, lasting only a century. Much film, by contrast, is only acetate, which suffers from a catastrophic autocatalytic degradation called "vinegar syndrome", similar to and synergistic with acid paper embrittlement but much, much worse.

PET film (polyester) is stabler than any paper and immune to water, but most paper is much better than most film. Gelatin-printed film is also vulnerable to water.
Might be true for Nexus 6, but Nexus 4 was from $299 at launch and had flagship specs. Nexus 5 was $399, again an affordable phone.
Sure, you and I can do that. But as a developer wanting to distribute my app, how do I persuade every potential user to go that route? It feels sketchy as fuck when you are doing it.
North Korea is a problem that would be easier to care of now, rather than later it seems.
> For the record, I made (and make) no claims about "non-Lisp developers not being smart enough".

I am glad to hear that.
This is so weird and could definitely identify myself, but... I was sent to a therapeutic boarding school called elan. A month or two after I got home my best friend was "taken" and did outward bound then got sent to hidden lakes in GA.

I still remember the first time I saw him a year or two later... He was home on a visit and snuck out of his house and rode his bike to our friends house. We got really baked and he got all serious and was like "Guys.... Do I have an accent now? I fucking hate how the people down there talk" lol
The sky is blue. Why is the sky blue? Philosophers have wondered for millennia about the hue of the firmament. Some say that…
There's something to that criticism, but plan9 was also built for improved modularity and compositionality when compared to earlier Unix. Some features that are not included in Acme may be achieved simply by leveraging outside code.
Most post offices have a zip code one higher than the town for the post office boxes.

And since a small post office will have less than 9999 boxes you can identify one by zip+4.
> If a user searches something and the top result doesn't answer their question, then Google hasn't done it's job and the user is less likely to use Google again and therefore less likely to click an ad in the future.

This is simply false. It would only be true if there was a better alternative to Google, which there isn’t.
I don’t think a really good title exists, but the closest might be “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Control Room” by Gregory McMillan. It is basically a comic book written by an engineer in the industrial controls field.
Laser printer toner is mostly pretty stable, stabler than paper. Most inkjet ink isn't.
They failed to bring in consistent good speakers.

The good stuff (i.e. An Atlantic writer, former ambassador, dude from think-tank) audience is too niche.

Discovery problem: you never know when good stuff is on.

Crap problem: so much hustle/culture BS.

They now have 'pre-recorded' sessions so you can listen in, which is very helpful.

But still a giant discovery problem.

I really enjoyed some content, but it's hard to find.

And big content makers want to get their stuff replayed, so the 'live' aspect is minimal.

I'm not sure if this model can work in the end.
Well, THAT went well...
North Korea builds monuments around the world (2018)
The loan/mortgage is a trap if you ask me (I actually agree with you both).

The real question I've been asking myself lately is "why do you need to take out a mortgage to buy a house if you (after x years of saving) can buy it cash". There is a big problem or lack of generational help. Like it should be trivial, just live with family/parents till you've saved up to buy your own, or we should be promoting and encouraging the transfer of housing to children from parents.

E.g. Get rid of inheritance tax and maybe even make it illegal for estates to sell property to pay off debts if there are children that it could be given to.
Have you read the comic linked above? Is any of it embellished or is how it’s portrayed pretty close to how it actually is?
Was it preserved on archive.org? The government doesnt want things that allow a Russian entity to profit from it, and YouTube decided to take the same tack. But, without ads paying RT, I doubt any attempt would be made to remove it from the way back machine.

In fact I wonder why YouTube didn’t just remove ads from that content.
https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-ne...

CNN has reached out to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry for comment. In response, the ministry sent CNN a statement from the Armed Forces chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The statement did not refer directly to the incident, but said, "In order to discredit Ukraine's defense forces, the enemy films and distributes staged videos showing inhuman treatment by alleged 'Ukrainian soldiers' of 'Russian prisoners.'
Cable internet is available too, I had gigabit DOCSIS from Virgin for the last few years.

You make it sound like the UK is in a terrible state for internet connectivity - it’s cheaper and better than many other countries by a long way, and those fibre providers which aren’t yet everywhere are insanely good where they are starting up. In the place we just moved out of, we could get 900/900 for around £20 per month!
I agree. Nothing stops Lisp fans from using Lisp for their own projects. The fact that Lisp isn’t popular, and probably never will be, really shouldn’t matter.
I am so glad these abuses are receiving mainstream attention. The way we treat children in our society is rotten. 18 years a slave.
I like to think of money as a manifestation of some slice of time you manage.
I wonder if their radius agent still includes all the dev and test time libraries. It use to, or may still include jars related to Maven and JUnit. Not confidence inspiring.
It is legitimately country down there. The show squidbillies is set in the North Georgia Mountains for reference on rge accent
Found this the other week when someone alerted me that emails from my custom domain were showing as possible spam in Gmail - it worked perfectly to help me fix the problem (duplicate SPF records).

It's frustrating that all my mail could have been triggering spam alerts for months without me knowing. I'm lucky someone kind reached out to tell me. It would be great to have a service automatically alert you if your messages look "spammy" (although I know real spammers would probably abuse it).
This is exactly what happens in the east with toll roads and “ez-pass”.
I don't see any alternative JVM language competing with Kotlin right now to even have options. Scala 3 is in a very different space. Before Kotlin 1, scala 3 was no where near release. I remember eclipse X10, which was like a "transpiler for java" but it wasn't as ambitious as Kotlin with multiplatform planned.
Seconded. This is a very compelling read, and a great graphic novel style. One of the things Joe says several times is how part of the design of the elan program is to be so absolutely insane that it literally sounds unbelievable if described to anyone. Coupled with a separate, well-groomed veneer presented to parents and the outside world, any "troubled" kids trying to explain what's really going on just come off as so massively exaggerating the situation that you can't even begin to take them seriously.
That explains a lot of the crap I see. Google something very specific like how to setup a testing library? You'll get an article from dev.to with a 3000 word wall of text containing not only a verbose description of what is unit testing and why you should unit test, but also the author's life story and maybe a recipe for mojitos

The actual content was a couple of shell commands and like 3 lines of JSON
> but the commons still exists for anyone who wants to serve it.

How do you go to the public square and take a speaker phone and start talking in the internet?

Google: blocks content

Twitter: blocks content

Facebook blocks content

DuckDuckGo: Deranks (possibly blocks) content

Reddit: Blocks content

... do you see the problem?

Company towns still had to allow free speech, Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc are the defacto town squares and if I can't pick up a microphone and speak my mind; then it is not as it once was.

Claiming I can "start my own town" doesn't work in this context. Worse, if I do how do people find my town? Can I advertise on these locations (nope, probably not). What if I use AWS? Well probably like parlor infrastructure would be pulled, if it becomes popular.
OTOH this is a type of ultraviolet exposure that we would also receive from sunlight. At least as claimed, it's not doing anything different to our microbiomes than just going outside would do.
Seeing as languages abstract machine code underneath, I'm not sure "it's really just the same" is a good argument.

That said, I also think visual programming is different at least in so far as one is able to layout code in two (or more) dimensions as opposed to the one dimensional layout of text lines.

It's often easier to see how data can flow through a complex transform in a shader graph than it might be to interpret text. In general flow can be visually displayed as graph edges whereas text requires the programmer to mentally track jumps through function names.
Why be so disingenious about this? Being "disappeared", at least in Western society, conjures the image of being quietly whisked away from society in an unmarked van for expressing views that a powerful body does not like. That is the article's OP felt happened - they were removed quietly from a platform because their views went against theirs.

Now, you add in things like torture and detainment. I mean, whatever. Feel free to die on this hill. My post's point is that the vast majority of society does not think of the Dirty War, or any sort of violence, when they hear the phrase "I was disappeared".
I went to a few of these places. I tried to run away from one of them and then they made me exercise until I couldn't move any more. They called it "energy release." I couldn't bend my knees at all for at least 2 weeks. It's still open and has only grown since I left.
Freedom of speech means that we must not allow a person to be harassed by the government or by individuals for what they say. Nowhere does the principle say that others are required to provide dissemination of speech gratis; that would be an entirely different positive (obligatory) right instead of the negative (forbearance) right that freedom of speech is considered to be.
If you're not sure how it can solve the problem, why does it even cross your mind to recommend it in the first place?
Sure but that’s a completely different argument.

I don’t think anyone would argue that Linux is not more customizable or does not give you more options.
This is a really concise and informative YouTube video on the same subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd_HIGMMKDA
Sounds like a piezo sensor
> It’s also worth understanding Gresham’s law, which proposes that “bad money drives out good”. Given the choice between two currencies, most people spend the weaker one and hoard the stronger one.

Eh, that's not really Gresham's law, which applies when there is a fixed (by law) exchange rate between two currencies.

Quoting Hayek’s Denationalization of Money, “What Jevons, as so many others, seems to have overlooked,
or regarded as irrelevant, is that Gresham's law will apply only
to different kinds of money between which a fixed rate of
exchange is enforced by law.” (Emphasis his)
Thank you very much for the corrections!
When I saw "Killed by google" I came out of it with a general sentiment about how google can't commit to a specific roadmap.

After seeing this site and then the comments here, I am coming out of this with the general sentiment that Microsoft is genuinely thoughtful about addressing end-of-life products.
You could build a shade for the light or put it in some ventilation system or air purifier so that only airborne particles get killed.
> This trend to strictly delineate between the principle and the law is a new fashion. Historically speaking, although it wasn't enforced by law, if you were a private organization and you did things contrary to the principle, it was enforced by society. What has changed is, as it seems to many as well as myself, is that people merely have lost their principles.

Can you explain this? Wouldn't something being enforced by society be an example of it being a principle rather than a law?
It's whatever the other person wants it to be.
Thanks for sharing it. Will definitely check it out.
I feel like walkie talkies are something all network engineers need to play with. Furthermore, remember that real world telephone and radio networks were in fact... Networks. (Called 'nets' in the radio world)

Ethernet, and 802.11, are both based on the concept of a singular channel shared by many individuals. When Alice talks, she says 'I'm Alice calling Bob, can you hear me Over'.

Alice is the source address. Bob is the destination address. Over is the stop code/stop bit signifying the end of frame. The payload is 'can you hear me'.

-------

This is everything up to layer 3. But if you wanted to send a radio/telegram across the country, you need one more layer, IP4 or the ARRL protocol (American Radio Relay League meets on the air at predestinated times to pass messages to each other on Ham radio frequencies. It's a human network)

I'm Alice, calling the Eastern Operators. I'd like you to relay a message to Bob for me. The message is 'Can you Hear me', Over.

This is a radio frame like all others, but an additional layer has been added. The radio operator has its own protocol built on top of the Frames.

------

Dave may overhear all of this chatter, but Dave knows to stay off the channel (otherwise he will cause interference). Only if Dave is addressed specifically would Dave respond (Ex: This is Alice, calling Dave. How are you doing? Over)

We can see that the operator is itself just another person on the network. The operator may have a message from the rest of the world.

This is the Eastern Operator calling Alice. I'm relaying a message from Bob. The message is 'I got your message Alice!'. Over.

This is how a router may take a message from the greater internet and pass it to your local network.
YouTube isn’t a library or archive. It’s a for profit business.

Also, libraries are very constrained in what they will and won’t archive and bring in to the collection. Budget, politics, space, taste all figure in. Hustler Magazine is a famous anti censorship platform thanks to Larry Flint. You won’t find it at your local library.
The End of the Movies
Very interesting take on the Wordle genre. I specifically enjoyed how you have to kind of dance around topics, trying to find words that push in different semantic directions.
A fairly large percent of my google searches contain answers from Quora on page 1. They’re playing the SEO game well.

And from that comes traffic, which I’m guessing they must be monetizing.

It’s the new “Yahoo Answers”
The "countless evidence" you mention mostly consists of stories just like this one, and they all add to the confirmation bias. I'm not saying Google is right in 100% of cases, but going by the prevailing opinion here you'd think it was impossible to have a Google account or publish an app without unwarranted banning, but hundreds of thousands of developers are doing just fine with no complaints.

I'd like to be able to judge this case for myself, but if the developer isn't sharing any of his prior communication with Google or any of his apps, why do you think they deserve the benefit of doubt?
Discipline and Punish (Michel Foucault)

Not my field of study or existence, but what happened in a bare hundred years to make public execution private, and prisons into factories into schools?

It's a great book, you should read it.

The Republic (Plato)

How do you get someone to listen to you? (first answer: threaten them with violence). "Footnotes to" etc.
I have a difficult time understanding this. I was a kid that was rebellious, but in a way that didn't get me in trouble. When I read stories like this I get an intense feeling of fighting back, or at the very least, hold everyone that participated in contempt for the rest of my life. I am certain that if my parents had done something like this I would never have forgiven them. Nor would I have forgiven anyone that works in a place like this.
