The rise of social media was somewhat preceded by the retirement of the fairness doctrine, and coincided with the rise in partisan media (1). Would a reintroduction of the fairness doctrine via legislation help in any way? I tend to think it would.

Mark Zuckerberg: ‘many teams are going to shrink’ as Meta revenue drops
A few years ago I was once briefly directed into the cockpit of a plane to check on its maintenance status while I was boarding a normal coach flight. I was wearing my only clean jacket, a waterproof high viz coat that must be popular with people who work on rainy roads.
I live on a street in New York that's pretty popular with filming. I generally try to be respectful of their work, but I work from home and sometimes I need to go get a coffee.

I'll usually ask if when I come back in 5 minutes or so if they'll be filming so that I don't disrupt them. Even if I'm super respectful, they usually wind up trying to stop me from getting back to my apartment when I return. It took me a while to figure out that I can just ignore them and keep walking.

Still, it was cool to see Oscar the grouch on my street.
The problem I see increasingly is the conflation of "X as an intervention doesnt work" with "There is no evidence for X", which is two entirely different things.

To give a concrete example:
"Stop-smoking interventions commonly fail" equated to "no evidence that stopping smoking improves health".

I've done cross-grades on old ARM devices, as Debian gained repos built with more optimizations, and I've done in-place 'upgrades' between different Debian-based distros (e.g., Mint Debian -> Kubuntu).

As long as you have a busybox with a working dpkg in it, it's pretty easy to deal with any dpkg or apt errors you encounter as you see them. If you use these same strategies between Ubuntu releases, you can also 'push through' any brokenness or quirks that the normal wrappers for this process bail and reverse on.

If you run any Debian-based distro, just doing one or two upgrades like this will really liberate you from worrying much about your package manager getting 'broken', and spare you from ever doing clean reinstalld unless you really want to.
Damned crazy conspiracy theorists! And their nutjob lab leak nonsense!

The 11.7 is the PRMR measure from CA-PMSS, which is far stricter than the definition used in Germany. The corresponding rate using the same definition as in Germany was ~6 / 100k in California.

Easy mistake to make, though, since you have to be aware of definitional differences.

A start to that is here: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DMCAH/surveillance/CDPH...

But you'll have to go read the guidelines to read the difference.

Merry's sword was Númenorean, but there was no need of that entire digression to get Merry a Númenorean sword. The movie has Aragorn tell them "here are some weapons, help yourselves", which is just as good.
Yes, you're exactly right, in the same way as kilometer is 1024 meters and the other one is just car-manufacturer-distance-per-fuel-unit-marketing-speak-kilometer..

Kilo means 1000, and meant it before computers were a thing.. We retrofitted 1024 onto it literally hundreds of years later.. because it was close enough, it got annoying to deal with, we fixed it, if only recently in 2008, but better late than never..

Regardless, I suspect the answer to your question is a hearty: No.

Meta is a tech company (and very relevant one at that), so these articles will continue to appear. I see no objective problem with that.

> I even chilled in the command center of a multi agency response to a bank robbery with hostages. Met the head of FBI LA SWAT and senior leadership of FBI LA office.

wow. That's some real lack of security. What if the bank robbers had someone on the outside who did this and was sending text messages back to the robbers of everything they heard in the command center. That would be really smart of the robbers actually. So the fact that they allowed a stranger to wander into the command center and 'chill' with them is concerning.

>I personally don't think mandating all actors to altruistically abstain from transacting at market price would be a sound policy, but that seems to be what liberals want.

Ding Ding Ding!

The relevant question is why isn't there competition to drive the market price down.

If it appears that there is a monopoly or oligopoly extracting value from it's market position, the solution is diversification, not profit controls.

Profit controls just drive prices higher as companies strive to inflate their COGs
I would second this. I handle a lot of meetings and screenings for technical positions and quite a few Senior Network Administrators don't know or remember the basics for a lot of networking items and are completely lost when it comes to items like this. It is very much so a prevalent problem that many IT persons don't realize it's not only possible, but common to block ICMP entirely. For me, this has rendered ping unreliable as I can never truly know if we really can't reach the host or if some Network Security Admin has blocked ICMP (and often the Network persons aren't aware of this either).

Same with traceroute -- it's a common question in our interviews, "if you suspect a poor route in a given topology, which servers (client, server) should you run traceroute on?". The most common answer is just the client, without a lot of understanding that you have to consider the route from the server to the client and, like the article shared, that you only get the route info from the server you test.

Networking is still pretty tough I would say and a lot of support tickets raised for my company's product are 100% related to the network in the environment, but the Network Admin/Team lacks the depth to really investigate such issues, but knows enough to at least try to argue it's not network.

I love articles like this which clearly and plainly discuss the basic elements of networking because how you understand the basic elements fundamentally shapes how you understand network errors. The number of conversations I've had with clients who when faced with an error like "Host refused connection" when our product can't connect to a host ask with a straight face "so why did your application close the connection?" is far too high, and it's pretty disappointing on a personal level to have such discussions. Ignorance is not a sin. Reveling in ignorance is.

> Eru created through song, and in that choir it was the introduction of disharmony that signified evil.

I take a different view:

Eru knew who Melkor was from the start, and his “disharmony” was part of a broader and richer song — as shown by the duet that led to man and the ultimate downfall of evil lords.

The only time Eru spoke to Melkor, he chided him for thinking that a being of his own essence was acting outside his intent or marring the music.

If you take the Valar as aspects of Eru, then Melkor is the internal critic that drives genius to greater heights.

Its my understanding that anarchy is state without authority, or rulers. The idea of "disorder" has been tacked on because everyone believes that without some kind of authority, that's what anarchy would lead to, but from what I have seen in history, that ideology is not so conclusive. You can look at the Spanish revolution for reference. We don't know how that would have turned out because it appears that other totalitarian countries intervened.
It's not clear to me whether .NET 6 (and therefore C# support) is going to make 4.0 freeze. It's really just been one guy working on the dotnet6 branch, which is unfortunate.

Sure it can. The pre-commit tool is just a framework for running multiple hooks at commit time against just the files which are modified in that commit. You can configure those hooks however you want.

You also don't have to run the hooks at pre-commit time. Just don't hook pre-commit into your checkout. The pre-commit tool can also be configured to run its checks at a different stages than, well, the pre-commit stage:

> If you need 7 services together for that feature to work right, write them together. If you need 3 for the next one, group those.

After giving it a thought, this is probably the biggest drawback of that approach: when you have services that other services depend on (say, a db), then you cannot in the docker compose take that into account (as the other services will have their own docker compose and that the requires element points to a service within the same docker compose).

I can love with that, though - the fact that docker compose + caddy config (for the reverse proxy) and the data are all togather is fantastic and allows for easy bootstrapping
In the US, your voting district maintains a voter roll, which in turn is updated based on voter registration. Registering to vote means proving that you're eligible to vote, and your name and information is checked against the voter roll when you do vote.

In other words: in many places, you don't need to present an ID because you've already been identified. But it's a big country, and that's not the case everywhere: lots of states and municipalities do require you to present an additional ID, or at least to present your voter registration (and just your name and address).
Those charts don't seem to be lower now than before.

Or because they have vastly more wealth, status and connections than you, and can crush you like a bug (totally legally) if you ever went anywhere near them. That's why you can't do anything, not because you choose not to. Democracy is theatre, it doesn't change the fundamental power structure since Ancient Egypt and Babylon. There is an upper caste, and you're not one of them.

Ownership of products (especially software) is turning into a license that allows you to use the product as long as the manufacturer allows it (i.e., under certain conditions which of course are revocable or amendable at the corporation's whims).

I'm pretty sure that if they could get away with it (today), some companies would love to sell you a license to breathe the air inside their buildings. On account, of course, of that air being expensive to suck into the building and clean and pipe throughout said edifice, and they need to 'recover' the costs associated with that.

It's pretty ironic that an article that decries the rise of polarization, using the term "polarization" 18 separate times, ends up being basically just a checklist of one-sided ideological complaints about the other side.
There are many causes of death, and globally the distribution of cause of death is quite wide.

But software developers are generally removed from a large portion on it. They’re not working with hazardous things, typically can avoid low-income related consequences (including living in dangerous areas), and have a higher than average intellect.

When you remove most of the common causes of death, cancer becomes proportionally more common. It’s like rolling 100 dice, tossing out anything less than 5, and noticing a lot of 6s.
> What you are talking about is making a compiler that would run on all Hosts, but it would take different work to make it be able to produce code for all Targets.

This is already how rustc works, it is not like GCC. Any rustc can (cross-)compile for any target, as long as you have the rlibs for that target, your libllvm has those targets enabled, and you have the appropriate linker. Rustup usually manages all that for you.

That would make a great heist film: the accomplice gaining access to the local PD and ensuring the team doesn't get caught.
Many of these types of posts concerning social media companies are quite interesting to me because they impact and Influence the entire Internet and how it operates... Just as much as I like reading about the most dominant headlines in tech, I like being informed about how these companies are screwing up marketing and promotion for everyone, because I run my own companies, and it's been very difficult and increasingly costly to promote the work I do because of social media companies and their strangle hold on the planet.

I am pretty sure this latest attempt by Meta is only a cover-up to allow them to continue to push more sponsored posts into everyone's feeds rather than pushing original work from independent creators.
It is surprising though maybe they gave a good initial placement?
That surprises me.

The approx. two decades of my career have been in what an embedded systems programmer would call "basic CRUD apps". From my perspective it's quite a bit deeper than that, as most of that time has been spent doing mostly what would be termed an SRE these days, but still - at the end of the day I've been responsible for increasingly complex frontends for databases.

The numbers 2^8 and 2^(8-1) come up all over the place.

No, because in actual social settings, human inherently promote views they find to be reputable, and minimize the impact of speech they believe to be dishonest and/or harmful.

The vast majority of new drugs in the US research was funded by the taxpayer.

Innovation comes mostly from the public sector, not private sector. This applies equally to technology.

Private-led innovation is hyped by these industries PR departments. DARPA, NASA, NIH don't have a PR department.

The article isn't clear. The defense claims that the driver was pulled over solely from the shotspotter alert:

>>Attorneys from the Cook County Public Defender Office, contending the police pulled the man over solely based on a ShotSpotter alert, subpoenaed the company as a third party to find out whether that was the case.

but that seems unlikely -- it would be really expensive and low-yield to pull over everyone in the vicinity of a gunshot. It would be about the same as with regular human ears hearing a bang: go to the source, then pull over cars with evidence further differentiating them as a possible locus of crime.

So probably shotspotter got the cop to that location, where he saw other, more crime-specific evidence. But without more info about this case I couldn't say for sure.
As a child I was basically forcibly kidnapped from an excellent home by child "protective" services, and spent several years bouncing from one psychotic abusive "foster" home to another, entirely on the word of one screwed up middle school principal who shouldn't have ever been allowed within a hundred miles of any child, while one of my best friends just down the street from me couldn't beg for or receive any help from those same scumbags regarding being literally beaten nightly by his drunken asshole of a father, despite multiple reports and evidence from many people (including myself and my mother). My family tried to fight it and was basically given the middle finger by every agency they contacted. How is it so very rare that these sorts of abusive agencies ever get investigated or held responsible for these destructive actions?

It's also complicated since Beowulf was essentially lost for most of that time period, and is attested from a single manuscript. It's unlikely to be the case with LotR, short of massive civilizational collapse.

Because conservative media is feeding people the talking point, and they are aren't really applying too much critical thought to the matter.

Eh, I don't think it is. Most members of Congress aren't minting money trading stock. The revolving door is far more insidious. Pointing at this lets pass make minor reforms, chuck a surprise at the eternally cynical and keep the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The partisanship of the accusations also helps galvanize support. Republicans can claim to be sticking it to Pelosi. Democrats can better cover their flank. The base will eat it up. Nobody in finance cares. And like two members of Congress will be slightly diminished millionaires. Broadly, a win-win. (Even if more marginally than presented.)
Now we can start guessing what futures they are betting on: these, in which open-sourcing the whole thing commoditises critical complements.

It wasn't one statement. This was early in the invasion so I was glued to the press conferences. It was deliberate messaging delivered more than once. If there's transcripts you could grep search for inflation.

"I don’t believe NBER has lied and to blame inflation on fiscal stimulus that largely occurred two years ago seems outright bad thinking. Especially to then blame the current administration for it. Inflation is going on all over the world. It’s not Biden’s fault. There’s a collection of reasons and mechanisms at play and Biden can only do so much."

I'm not sure what you think you're arguing against. Never said that it's one hundred percent down to fiscal policy from two years ago (although both loose fiscal and monetary policy of Trump and Biden are undeniably a non-trivial part of it -- money supply and inflation are inextricably linked). I also wasn't saying it was mostly Biden's fault.
I think “I am no man” is a perfectly good explanation in the movie. It implies that the witch king is relying on a prophesy he doesn’t fully understand (rather than a spell). “If Croesus goes to war, he will destroy a great empire.”
