At some point you need tools like an oscilloscope and back then it was out of reach. You can hack away basic stuff, sure, but it's not really possible to do more advanced stuff. Also when you spend time "reverse engineering" the basics, privileged people already can research more complex things.
You are always way behind and usually end up as a tech fixing laptops, while privileged kids go to NASA.

When the ACLU rewrote a Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote ("The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a [person's] life, to [their] well-being and dignity..."[1]), all I could think of was The Onion ("I've always believed that one [homosexual] really can make a difference."[2]).

Huh, I didn't know that peer review was that recent.

For all of its issues, I still think there would be some value in encouraging people to find issues in papers and publicly note them instead of relying on an oral history of which papers are accurate (hence my suggestion to encourage people to reproduce or disprove papers, while slightly penalizing submitting new research).
Many fields have reproducibility issues, and my experience has been that research groups informally build their own internal lists of (seemingly) inaccurate publications.

It would be naive to believe that even the most devoted individual would opt to starve rather than pivot their work to eat. As it stands, there isn't much an incentive other than "truth" or general political reputation management to document the reproducibility of other work.
Erroneous works make it difficult to find relevant, accurate ones.
> Hum... I answered that just on the next phrase.

Concerning "And quite likely brings better results for both the investor and the founders.":

That "[it] brings better results" for some groups does not imply that it more healthy for this group. Also the other way round: "more healthy for some group" does not necessarily imply "better results for this group".

In this sense I did not think that this phrase was to be considered an answer to my point.

I meant it from a numerical analysis/differential geometry perspective (the reason I attached the reference). While not being strictly a surface, it is characterized by a mid-surface, and a thickness t. After having that information, for each point in the mid surface, a normal vector is drawn and scaled by a magnitude of t/2 in both directions of the normal, giving a thickness of t to the object that, I should have made it clearer, is not a surface but characterized by one.

Thank you for this write up - it's extremely actionable. Our team is already chatting about it internally to find some quick wins, and we'll do a deep-dive tomorrow on each of the items you've raised.

Some easy ones from me:

> RBAC is completely missing

We are implementing something here, but we need to find the right level of abstraction for all/most use-cases. It's still unclear to us whether we should make this simply documentation ("RBAC with RLS") or actually build the abstraction. We have built something internally which we are dogfooding, so watch this space.

> Stored procedures are more likely to be utilized in the Supabase paradigm

Now that we have released Edge Functions, we have more time to work on the blend between both Procedures and Functions. Our CLI needs a lot of work, but this will be a major focus for the rest of the year.

> They clearly have work ahead of them, but I'm optimistic about the potential for Supabase and I look forward to the improvements!

Thanks for the kind words!
Would he also go over and reverse any bans of "regular" people or does that mean Elon Musk will just introduce more special treatments on Twitter?
If not the only difference Musk would make is that this time it's his friends, instead of people he doesn't like. Which means he isn't different than the current leaders of Twitter.
I suppose if you critically examine the definition of Liberty / Libertarian you could say they are such an organization. You could also get creative with definitions and claim that because they want to maintain and preserve constitutional rights they are actually a 'conservative' institution.

However in general perception they are firmly "on the left" politically and socially whereas Libertarians are perceived as "on the right" in America. Therefore I don't think the label Libertarian is fitting in this case.
You're saying the most important considerations for a kid are 1. preventing prank 911 calls and 2. teaching them not to be anti-android snobs?
> Without government we at least had choice.

I don't consider "give me your stuff or I beat you" a choice.
I totally agree that the ACLU is getting into things that seem silly, but it seems equally silly to claim they are 'losing their way' based on that.

This article complains the ACLU is not taking right-wing speech cases but admits they still do take cases and lists no examples where they refused. It cites the ACLU reacting to the protest where a protester was killed by nazis as anti-speech, but the ACLU was not saying they are against legal speech! They reflected, correctly, that backing groups that seek to silence (and kill) others is not straightforward. Considering the number of people in here who are decrying a "movement against freedom of speech" I would think people would support that policy!

If the article is to be believed and the ACLU has gotten a lot more money in recent years - wouldn't it make sense that they get into new areas?

Should the ACLU have more speech lawyers? Maybe! Are there cases they couldn't take? I would love to see some examples.

Should the ACLU stay out of politics? It's worth debating and I'm glad the article brings it up - but given the anti-democratic (and anti-individual rights) policy goals of the republican party I understand the approach. The article doesn't even ask what we do when one party is against proportional representation!

In general I just don't feel like this is actually responding to the ACLU's positions. She accuses the organization of hypocrisy around Title IX because they criticized changes but then later said they supported some updates - but of course it is perfectly coherent to criticize overall changes AND support parts of them. Here is their statement:

> We filed comments on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ Title IX rule that supported fair process requirements for live hearings, cross-examination, access to all the evidence, and delays in proceedings if the student accused of wrongdoing also faced a student criminal investigation, even as we criticized the rule for reducing the obligations of schools to respond to reports of sexual harassment.

Like seriously, I encourage everyone to check the case selection guidelines linked in the article[1]. Here are the things that might lead them to not take an otherwise suitable case: the group seeks to engage in violence, the group seeks to carry weapons, if the speech would lead to direct harm, if the ACLU support would appear to damage the orgs' overall mission. These aren't even vetos. They're areas of concern, and they seem pretty reasonable - especially considering this article criticized the ACLU for getting involved with Amber Heard because she sees their support for Heard as damaging to the ACLUs' mission! Which is exactly their concern.

> "the music _lives_ on" as a title to describe the death of the iPod is such an intolerable attempt at paltering.

Only if you're reading it as a discontinuation notice, but the purpose of the release is far broader than that. It's a celebration of the impact the iPod touch has had on the world, a prompt to iPod touch fans that this is their last chance to buy a new one, and a reminder that Apple continues to express its love of music through other products.

I understand none of that will resonate with you or seem authentic to you, which is fine since you're not the audience for it. For someone who grew up with an iPod touch, it's going to seem as sincere and bittersweet as the person who wrote it intended.
Imagine the cost of all the compliance procedures that a tech company should implement in the EU: GDPR, Digital Markets Act, and maybe in the future: Chat control. I think that the EU is putting barriers to entry that can backfire and harm its own tech companies, even if the initial plan is limiting the influence of US corporations for digital services.
I do something similar but not quite the same with my iPad: it has most of the same (non-work) apps that my phone does, but I've disabled all notifications for all apps so it never yells at me; it's an entirely chill-out/self-directed device where nothing ever grabs at my attention
> people are simply terrible at modularizing code.

Once you realize you needed it, its too late.

Then once you've been burnt on that fire for a bit, you go all out in designing the next few projects with framework and forethought and wind up with 100 lines of that for a 10 line script.

the moral is "life's a bitch"
iPod touches also sent iMessages, since all you need is an Apple ID.

That's why I said "having an iPod touch keeps the kid from getting bullied by the "Blue Message" crowd" - It was the device you could buy a kid and not worry about the green messages.

iPhones without phone contracts can still call 911.
The original article uses the plural too, Mittelstands, but it sounds really weird in German since it's more of mass noun (it's as if you referred to various pots of sugar as 'the sugars'). I believe the correct word would be Mittelständler, but if you're going to anglicize it, Mittelstanders would much better than Mittelstands in my opinion. Then again, I'm not a native speaker of either German or English...
I thought this was an article about Electronic Arts and a scoop about liquidity issues. Unfortuantely not the case...
I really find it hard to pinpoint the exact reason. In the moment the "surprise" is what feels overwhelming. I know it's paradox because on the other hand, that's what the interaction my parents and their friends had were - little surprises.

It feels a bit like wanting a surprise gift for Christmas (contrary to something you wished to get) but then being upset because you did not get what you wished for...

I would love, to hear your theories maybe this willhelp explore that feeling a bit more

In the interest in saving peoples time when responding to this: don’t.

It’s trolling at worst and nerd sniping at best. The author of this comment knows this full well. His comment history is full of this kind of “drop bomb” and run crap.

“covid passports” being required is not exactly the fault of the EU, if anything it’s because of the freedoms the EU still has. Anti-covid rhetoric needs to die, anti-EU bad faith propaganda needs to die.

This is a legitimate constitutional crisis, not a time to try to pile on with nonsense.
I completely disagree. I think this is the result of the war on the middle class and how expensive it has become just to stay alive in america. Social media platforms also promote the hell out of "grindset" accounts, or accounts that are just rich people doing expensive activities, and I refuse to believe that these trends that appear overnight are actually organic at all.

It feels like we're being conditioned to hate poor people.
I think those are just further extensions. When all that matters is winning, and my own winning, the psychological outcomes of weaponized marketing literally don't matter. When my corporation selling things is what matters, and my success is what matters this quarter, rampant consumerism and the inevitable impacts on society/the planet don't matter.

Honestly, I do believe it all comes down to the cultural individualism as the prime component of success. Other countries have the same PR, mass media, and consumer goods, but don't seem to have the same cut-throat attitude to absolutely everything in their lives.
Reminds me of this clip[1] (trigger warning: R-word). Probably the worst feature of democracy is that morons vote for morons, and once they're the solid majority, we're doomed.

I really hate to fall for zoomer stereotypes but I do get the feeling that this generation is (on average) broadly more open to all forms of authoritarianism. It seems to apply across the political spectrum with the zoomer right being NatCon/alt-right and the zoomer left being what you describe. They also seem comfortable with a lack of privacy in general and with hyper-centralization of businesses and services they use.

I really really look forward to a world where internet service providers simply stop bowing to shitty unhealthy demands of sovereign powers.

I (admittedly, a no-one) have no intent to respect this & every intent to eacallate my efforts to help people fight off pernicious piece of shit legislation.

On the plus side, the pushes towards hosting-it-yourself keep going up. The fact that all our rights online are granted by way of vast corporate intermediaries is systematically broken & vile, allows endless encroachment g degredation of base liberies. We can keep fighting battles, but starting to assert more natural rights, making this an ask not against service providers but against private persons, is how to tip this war back against the ever encroaching monstrous survelliance regime.
The wasm spec itself should be pretty future-proof now, but I'm less sure about deno. I'm curious what your use case is, happy to take it to email if you like.
I’m not sure why this classification wasn’t used originally. This shift makes sense to me but I’m also unable to read the entire article.
The ACLU was trying to cash in on #metoo (which was timely, when this was published) — and published Heard’s defamation of Depp, apparently ignoring the numerous flags everyone else could see that Heard was the one abusing Depp.

But during the height of #metoo, we weren’t “allowed” to ask those questions because we needed to “believe all women”.

Institutional misandry strikes again.
> That's a similar approach to supabase. Why reinvent the wheel?

Supabase is a copy of Firebase. Same question?
For the longest time I have been treating every communication that's not private, in-person with someone I know as essentially public (iow. this changes almost nothing to me, I consider anything online more-or-less public, under surveillance etc already).

I could buy a starter pack of pokemon cards for something like $20 USD. It's a game, I can find a friend and play it. I can play almost any normal video game for $10 to $60 USD.

To play Axies, you need to buy around $900 worth of "starter axie" NFTs.

People are buying ugly pictures of apes for prices like $11,000 USD.

NFTs produce artificial hierarchy and scarcity over functionally useless, objectively worthless, and materially non-existing assets. It is the claws of a dystopia reaching in to take away the free and open internet we've all learned to love.

Ponzi schemes and scams are so ubiquitous in the crypto space (presumably mostly NFTs) that they coined a new term "rugpull" for talking about it.

NFTs featuring unauthorized art is so common that Deviant art implemented a feature to help artists get notified when someone tries to mint and sell your art.
> I mean, intercepting private business communications about say, factory openings or closings, would put the people with that information in a position to make large amounts of money by buying or selling property in those areas.

Like the US did with Airbus in the echelon scandal even before the pervasive surveillance that came in after 9/11. Just saying this is not a remote "worst case" scenario but a real-world one.
I really enjoyed reading your comment and it gave me a new perspective. I had never thought of this issue in terms of using your body to preserve the life of someone else.

Just to continue the discussion, in the case where the fetus is the product of a consensual sexual relationship (not rape), morally does that make a difference? In that case are you now ethically required to save the fetus's life?

The fetus would not exist had it not been for your actions and perhaps should not have to suffer pain and death (depending on how long the pregnancy is).

Not arguing for or against, im of the opinion that its very personal and complex.

Not a surprise at all. Trump was a major presence on twitter. His account being restored means more user engagement, more ad views and clicks. Also, Elon and Trump fans have large overlap.
Think bell curve distribution and population size. That's a big difference, all other things being equal. The US just has quantitatively more individuals to the far right of the curve, just based on population size. Then cultural differences- US highly prizes individualism (or used to, at least). Japan prized homogeneity, conformance, and Zen style perfection.
Be real.
I'm considering maybe getting a Georgia Tech online master program. But what you mentioned is also very interesting :)
I remember a talk a few years ago where the CTO of a local startup was gushing about microservices and how productive they made his team. Sounded like an tech evangelist who had drank their own koolaid.

Then one of the "questions" in the Q&A was a pretty aggressive attack based on how unproductive the skeptics company had been to date and how they were on the verge of failing.

The speaker asked how many development teams they had and what was the size of their DevOps/Tooling team(s). When the skeptic admitted they only had a few developers, the speaker recommended they IMMEDIATELY pivot to Django/Rails/Node.js/.Net; "whatever you are most comfortable with". And then said "Why are you still standing there? You need to pivot tomorrow morning."

I think of those two questions every time I read or consider microservices. "How many teams. How big is your DevOps/Tooling team."
I'm outside the US, but I see similar issues everywhere. I think it's time modern democracies stoped having "representative of the people" voting on laws. Laws should be considered each on their own value, and everybody should be able to vote for/against them.

300 developers' work being crammed together into a weekly release without having their contributions pass CI first sounds absolutely hellish for whatever poor bastard has to track down who broke the build.
Pretty much all of them, taken to the extreme this manifests in ways like automated/machine assisted speedruns.

On the not so extreme level; DPS calculations to decide which item/ability combination is the most efficient in dishing out damage.
Still, it's a "Core" core and "Atom" core together, leading to all kinds of unexpected consanguinities. As with M1 benchmarks, what really suffers is the 20%-80% load area, together with the lack of AVX-512 which 11th gen had that might be a deal breaker to some. Also, having 8 efficiency cores is just silly, if you just want to run background tasks with minimal power consumption, how do 8 cores lead to that?
