IANAL or a Federal judge, so perhaps my understanding is mistaken about this. That said, IIUC the First Amendment to the US Constitution states, in part:

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..."

That stricture (as well as all restrictions codified in the US Constitution, as amended) was extended to the several states by the 14th Amendment, which reads in part:

"...No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States..."

Long standing precedent and interpretation of the First Amendment has upheld the idea that not only is the government forbidden to abridge speech, they also may not force others to repeat or publish speech which those others do not wish to repeat or publish.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it seems to me that Texas' HB20[0] (the law in question) is in conflict with the First Amendment.

Presumably, if Texas can force Facebook/Twitter/whoever (I'd note that the law includes email as well) to host speech they don't wish to host, then I can go to the Governor's mansion (or your house, if you live in Texas) and project any legal images/video/audio on the walls (gay, midget, furry porn comes to mind), and if I am prevented from doing so, the state has the right to sue the Governor (or you) to force the display of such content.

That's not the kind of world I want to live in. How about you?

I just don't think it should be legal for a company to offer to store something for you and then randomly stop storing it for you. As far as I know, if you buy a storage location, even if you stop paying for it the people at the storage facility can't just immediately toss your stuff into the street: there is a legally mandated process by which they have to store things, contact you, and later work with the state to rid themselves of your stuff. The problem for me then becomes one of making sure that the relationship involved feels like the relationship that these people put in their giant pile of click-through legalese. (And if the result of this is that free social networks supported by the potential future promise of ad revenue become impossible to legally build as the insurance required becomes too high, all I can say is "good riddance": the world will be all for the better if these companies have to figure out customer-focused sustainable business models before launching.)

Ranked choice voting in general is a real bad idea. Its better then first past the post but that's it.

If you are gone change the voting system, why not just go for the much better score voting, or Star vote.

RCV leads to incredibly very strange and non-intuitive outcomes in some situations. Score voting beats it in pretty much every way while also being far, far simpler for people to actually use.

In general you need to eliminate all per-elections and make districts larger as well.

Then you are starting to approach something actually good.
It’s tragedy of the commons. The smaller the group the more likely members are to care for one another and the community. The bigger it gets, the less likely a new member is to behave with the culture of the community without moderation, the more the average behavior goes down. It helps if you have an on boarding process that educates on the culture and norms or attaches new members to existing so they can be introduced into the culture instead of just thrown into it.
Considering that each nuclear sub has 80-100 warheads that are enough to destroy an entire continent, and considering it takes about an hour to fire them while underwater, do you suggest to attack the subs before they fire or after? How do you suggest to locate them?

I would argue that the reaction to 9/11 empowered the state to terrorize parents for just about anything. The risk of a confrontation with police has escalated in the past two decades, such that any report is taken seriously and without any real consequences for making false reports. Couple that with an increase from meddling by busybodies that can report free ranging kids using their now ubiquitous cellphones, and parents quickly realize that it is safer to keep them at home.
As a Queenslander, the crime rate on the Gold Coast, particularly around Surfers Paradise, subjectively feels a bit higher than other cities of a similar size. (It’s still nothing too bad, nor am I looking at objective data currently.)
Currently in San Diego with the windows and doors open, enjoying the slightly cool air coming in. Great place to live and seems like more tech companies are moving down. Sadly the housing and rent are becoming increasingly inaccessible.
Yeah, not sure what he means by that. I can happily pull a window over multiple monitors, and have done to read very wide log files.
How do you manage to move 8 other people's schedules around such that you get these blocks of time? Usually the hardest people to schedule are the manager who wants to sit in on every meeting, and the PM who also wants to be in every meeting. They look at my time and see something easy to schedule, there is a big empty block right there and it fits the tiny sliver of time they have free in the day.

There is an impedance mismatch between professional meeting attenders, and the people the build, and the meeting attenders are in charge.
Yes but they will tank their future pension payments, and current pay raises. So there is a cost for those that do. If you're unemployed it doesn't matter much though.

No, again, it’s pretty specific. The core teaching of CRT and gender theory is that it it’s more important what group you belong to than what you are as an individual.

This is completely incompatible with individual based rights that the western world grew on for the last 50-100-150 years. And by west I mean a broad amount of countries not just the US.
Of the places I've been Dublin has the most stable weather except perhaps Canary islands, but the difference is that Dublin has stable and shitty weather while Canary islands have stable and nice.

Having spent meaningful time in Reykjavik… hard concur. Seeing Dublin and Chicago in their target range simply reinforces the doubt. The bad assumptions start with average temp, but this is where it goes off the rails:

> Let’s see the same plot, including only the cities within one degree of Toronto’s average temperature.

So theyre really looking at “cities with an average temp similar to toronto, but lower variability.” That is certainly one wag to look at weather, but Id be hard pressed to accept its “nice.”
Score voting is far better then approval or ranked choice.

Giving every candidate 1-5 or 1-10 points like Amazon reviews is by far the best system.
We thought about that, but particularly with `GROUP BY ALL` the problem is that we would get different results from SQLite. When a column is not mentioned in the `GROUP BY` clause in SQLite it automatically pushes a `FIRST` aggregate over that column. So for example, the following query:

SELECT city, COUNT(*)
FROM customers

In SQLite is transformed into:

SELECT FIRST(city), COUNT(*)
FROM customers

In our experience this is not a good default since it is almost never what you want, and hence we did not copy this behavior and instead throw an error in this situation. However, if we were to add an implicit `GROUP BY ALL` our transformed queries would now diverge, i.e. we would transform the above query to:

SELECT city, COUNT(*)
FROM customers
GROUP BY city

Having diverging query results from SQLite on quite basic queries would confuse a lot of newcomers in DuckDB, and potentially cause silent problems when query semantics change when switching databases.

We could definitely add a flag to enable this behavior, however.

Interesting additions! On using column aliases in predicates, what if my alias exists in the source as well, what takes precedence? I feel like this can become a bit confusing either way.

In a voting system that is not insane a party doesn't get punished for running more then 1 person.

So you could just have 3 people from the WEP run and then voters decide.

If the party has enough power over its member to force only 1 candidate, then they can do that. However once parties get larger enforcing that is difficult and other people will just run.

The answer is by having carrots and not just sticks in the whole ecosystem. Modern video formats and screens are much higher resolution (to take but one important dimension), even for old movies that get an HD re-release, there are many incentives to move on especially once you've already bought into one aspect (like replacing an old CRT TV). The ecosystem around the audio jack isn't the same, there are fewer incentives, and a less clear improvement trajectory -- people have ancient wired headphones providing superior sound to some latest wireless thing, but there are no VHS cassettes that can match the clarity of 1080p or higher.

Isnt the NFC payment technology the same? I dont think Ive ever come across a payment terminal that accepted NFC payments that didn't work with my Android phone.

The naming thing, well that's Google for you. As a user it hasnt really been a problem though, I've just set up whatever the default app is on the phone when I buy a new one and never dont think about it again for another few years.
> choose how logical elements are interconnected

On the RTL level, you can already do that with FPGAs. On the physical level, you can't do that with an asynchronous design either.

> absence of clocks (less devices

The clocks are still there physically and consume space, even if you don't use them.

> no need to synchronize

Synchronization becomes very easy when the clocks are aligned and the frequencies are multiples of each other. FPGAs have delay elements in the clock blocks to help with the alignment.

> energy is used when and where the switching happens.

There are several points of energy use:
* the clock network -- you are right about this. Does anyone know how much of the total energy use goes into the clock network?
* registers and downstream logic -- behaves the same, whether synchronously or asynchronously. A register that doesn't "flip" will not consume energy for that, and the downstream logic will not flip either.
* whatever the asynchronous logic needs for coordination -- don't forget that this is not for free.

Analyze energy consumption first before jumping to conclusions or even measures. The whole energy topic reeks of premature optimization.
I believe that if a community grows big enough it gets ruined, but “enough” may be bigger than you think.

> Have you ever seen an example where anything became better than before when it grew big.

Yes, many times.

When your community is too small it’s boring, there isn’t enough user-generated content. As the community grows bigger users produce more content. Popularity encourages creative people to join and existing members to put more effort into their work (motivated by a larger audience and more competition), creating better content.

I think Geometry Dash and Trackmania are examples of communities which seem to be doing better than ever despite growing a lot the past couple years.

The issue is, when a community grows it creates disagreement: some users like different content than other users, users start to fight over which rules / goals / overall direction the community should go. Usually the overall community ends up in the middle ground, where everyone is only partially satisfied.

Case in point: Hacker News with informative / political articles. Some people only like learning, some people like tech drama and even general politics. The result is half informative, half opinionated pieces on the front page.

But it helps when the community focuses on a niche topic, and sticks to that topic even if it grows. Because that means everyone just talks about the niche, and people who aren’t and don’t get interested in it won’t join. It also helps when said topic is non-controversial and non-political, so there’s not much to disagree on and get mad about.

Trackmania’s community is still close because it is a very specific game: racing on a custom track to get the best time possible. There’s not really much else to do in Trackmania, so if you don’t like making custom tracks, trying to get the best time on one of them, or watching people do those things, you won’t like Trackmania. It’s also clearly not provocative.

Hacker News is kind of a niche because it focuses on tech from the perspective of professional software engineers. Nowadays Hacker News does get controversial, but I know it has systems and moderators in place to limit flame wars and politics as much as possible.

Large subreddits, Discord communities, Facebook groups don’t really feel like “communities” because the users’ interests are too diverse: many of the posts are uninteresting to many of the users, because it’s hard to imagine a post which can interest a majority of the users at once. They also get a lot of drama because people post about politics and those posts get encouraged and upvoted and reposted.

Anecdotally, I had regular eye exams (once every two years) for several years since they were free under insurance, and was prescribed progressively stronger glasses each time. I wound up somewhere around -7.5. For the past ~10 years I’ve just stuck with a single prescription out of sheer laziness + having no optical insurance in the US. Recently, having gotten a proper job with real insurance, I visited an optometrist and was surprised to learn that my prescription had gone down to -7 - and the new glasses really aren’t much different than the old ones visually.

A fairly significant part of this is likely due to my eyes not growing anymore (the regular eye exams were during high school + undergrad), but I do like to think that some part of it is not feeling like I always had to update my prescription constantly.

I don't want my phone to be thinner. If having a 3.5 mm jack means that I will have headphones that just work without fuss / charging / bluetooth codec ass, and it prevents phone designers from making my phone wafer thin, then I consider that a win-win.

And obviously, I wouldn't be advocating for a 3.5 mm jack in an implantable device. That would be silly. There can be multiple classes of devices, each with different features. For the class of phones that are rectangular objects that live in my pocket, I want a 3.5 mm jack.

I went to the Netflix home page. They don't list any of their content there. False start.

I googled Netflix series. The first item Google lists in Popular shows on Netflix is All of Us Are Dead. I tap on the picture. It's 7.6 on IMDB and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. I tap the latter and get about 30 reviews from critics and audience and the synopsis of the episodes. I know it's a series about zombies. I can choose to read the reviews now.
Yeah, it's generally called ["scalability"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability ).

For example, you can't generally scale-up a machine by just multiplying all of its dimensions by, say, 2, and expect it to still work the same way. Ditto for organizations.

Scalability would generally be a problem even if you could ensure that the sorts of people involved wouldn't change. But, if you're considering a scenario where the the types of folks involved also change, then that'd probably tend to amplify the effect.

That said, systems can often be scaled-up with due consideration to how they work and ensuring that the fundamentals are kept.
You are misunderstanding and lashing out. Please don't.

Politics should not require strategy and neither the left nor right should see others as subhumans. Everyone is human living in the now and should be treated with respect and rights.

Human being are not a gender, a color, a sexual orientation, or a political object to be attacked. They are not a religion, ethnic origin, age or demographic. Human individuals are human. Reducing people down to single bits of information is reducing people to be less than human.

Indeed. But that was in reference to the actual array-programming language. I get that they have their own special syntax, and the terseness helps in a way.

One talk I saw by a proponent explained that the intention is that you often change just the trailing character (or 2 or 3) to "twiddle" a query until it does what you want.

That interactivity makes sense to me. I do similar things with query languages like KQL.

But... in C? It's compiled! You have to "run" it!

Not to mention that it makes no syntactical sense in C to be fiddling around with suffixes. It has nested brackets that need to be properly closed! It's procedural, not declarative, so even if you condense the syntax, you don't "win" that much in the end.

There is literally no way that anyone could ever justify using single character source file names. That's just absurd. Note that the author had to put a little table explaining what each single-character file does/contains.

WHY NOT JUST NAME THEM to match their function!?

So instead of this madness:
