That's not the definition of censorship. Censorship is the suppression of information by any authority who has the ability to suppress said information. The definition doesn't require a government or any aspect of coercion.

If I run an online forum and I start removing posts I don't like, that is censorship. I'm allowed to remove those posts because it's my website, but it's still censorship.

Because Firefox has such a small market share that it isn't worth spending the resources to support it.
Yeah right, we know, it's cheaper than a Starbucks coffee. All those Starbucks coffees add up you know.

To me, the interesting aspect of this interview was how Zuckerberg kept referring to his 'independent council of governance' as the solution to the responsibility problem, absolving the dictator-in-charge of whatever decisions those members made.

But it was not asked - and its disappointing Rogan didn't go there - to whom do these members of a presumably anonymous governance board, answer?

Without being able to observe the governance boards activities, the general public cannot exercise agency over their own rights. This is not a solution to the problem of tyranny and censorship regimes coming from those with much criminality to hide (i.e. governments), but rather cynical acqiuescance to the true source of power: the ability to keep secrets.
Would you be happy to board this plane knowing that it had these issues?

… had what issues?
How is adding a thing that complains that the user is using Firefox less resources spent than not doing it?

You could make that optional with login.

But let's not pretend it's about that...they just want you data.
We have been self-hosting Zulip for about 3 years now and it is immensely popular.

It would be nice if there were a good fail over or cluster model so we could run it at multiple sites.
It's irc with the ability to share files and pin stuff to channels :) Felt extremely natural to me from day one.

You can turn most normal 2 lane (one lane each direction) roads into one directional roads for cars while turning the second lane into bidirectional bike/e-bike/e-wheelchair etc. path.

Cars are only faster (marginally anyway) and more convenient in cities because 95%+ of infrastructure is built for them. Make it closer and a bike wins on most routes in populated areas.

Want to use a vehicle which weighs 2 tonnes, is 5meter long and 2meter wide to move your ass? It's only fair you go around on narrow one directional roads.
Despite the looming narratives that tell us to give up our data, it’s always possible.

There are dozens of products and countless open protocols to base new products on. We could even just use IRC again.
Great decision, especially since AMP no longer plays a privileged role in search results.
I would like to add anything by Alan Macfarlane, particularly his
Huxley lecture, and the core books recommended in the Cambridge
University course on Social and Cultural Anthropology. I'd then
suggest taking the knife of a kind of post-modernist scepticism to all
of that perhaps via a Native American or African eye such as Ekeocha's
"Target Africa" and seeing what a (necessarily) parochial view it is,
to get, as it were, a bigger picture of the big picture.
I'll double down on the quoted line.

Do you care about the laptop because it's ostensibly proof of corruption or because it tarnishes the reputation of the sitting president?

If it's the latter then go pound sand. If it's the former, then good, let's investigate and root out the corruption and address it in a court of law. But that requires being open to treating similar treatment of corruption by the prior administration.

Every mention of the laptop so far seems to fall in the "Biden is dirty" camp, not "let's punish this corruption".

> How would you know?

There's a wealth of evidence that Trump serves only Trump.

Disclaimer: I think the Hunter Biden affair was genteel corruption but there's been no substantiated evidence that his father was significantly influenced.

I put country over party, do you?

Come on with those optimizations. the internet is getting faster and I still see articles on how to optimize the website.
Solana claims to prove that a certain duration of time has passed, which is a different and much stronger claim than just temporal ordering. The details of their claims, last I heard (which was some talks in Berlin years ago) were extremely hand-wavy and apparently not well understood even by some people working on the project.
But the company was built on that user growth. They were reporting the numbers to the investors and claiming "2.???; 3. Profit" all along. Especially now, with recession coming (interests rise => expectations of profitability increase), it's unfortunately suddenly important to show real profits.
There are tons of interviews and videos where he blames the U.S. and NATO for the war and sais that Ukraine must make concessions to the invaders, so yes that means being a supporter of the invasion and the regime that perpetrated it. If he is fully aware of the extent of the damage he is doing or it's just his misguided convictions, that's a different story.
> Except threads. Threads are useless.

That might exactly be my problem with Slack, and Google Chat as well. I understand the desire to wanting to some sort of threading, but it doesn't work in either programs. Instead it just confuses the interface greatly. Slack is super weird, because you can have a thread open, and navigate around, so the thread view is now completely out of context.

Take in the information as a whole and sift out one's best guess. That's all anyone can do.

Cognitive bias is a bitch though.
Out of curiosity, what's the book?
I think this should be outlawed. So many industries destroyed by cheap vc money, and then trying to raise prices once everyone else is gone. You can lose money doing research all you want, but the moment you start interacting with the market there should be a time limit until you can get your unit economics to work, or get out.
In China people can’t access objective and free speech media and they know it that they are being manipulated.

In America people can’t access objective and free speech media but their oppressors make them believe that they 100% can and everyone is falling for it.

Personally I find the latter much more scary and a dangerously broken society.
Underneath both, they make those choices based on trust. If a massive sales teams gains their trust it means sales. If employees have gained their trust it means sales.
> Everyone on a free slack instance is NOT using a competitor's product.

Arguably this is even worse from slaks POV, no? Everyone on free slack is on free slack because they aren't willing/able to pay and slack would indirectly benefit if those customers were freeloading (and incuring costs) for their competitors.
Not really, one day coming back from work somebody got shot on the next car in the bart train i was on :)
Thank you. I order to contact support, I had to log in, so I had to use a different account just you be able to ask the question. We'll see what they reply.

If this fails, I'll go the GDPR route.
I had two options to do that in 2011; one by funneling money through Cyprus to an Israeli bank, and the other via a phony real estate company in Costa Rica. I didn't take either of them because the potential for having payouts or deposits suspended in transit by a card company, if they found the violation for miscoding gaming transactions, would've decimated any chance I had for fully legitimate operations; and also any banking freeze probably would've destroyed my standing and credibility with customers. Since it was important to me to not run a criminal enterprise and since transparency was one of the few things I could offer to set my company apart from other casinos, I declined, and instead spent a huge amount of time and energy blocking any attempt by people in the US to gamble on my site.

So, no props are due whatsoever to the people who took that route. If you got away with it all these years, then abi gezunt. Most of the people I knew who did those things in the early Bitcoin years are now in prison.
I hadn’t come across this game before but saw it was an option on Nintendo Switch Online.

Thanks for positing, I’ve just finished and I really enjoyed it.
No, but in aggregate, I trust them to be able to collectively say "something weird is going on". 100+ ex-service personnel testified in front of Congress about UFOs interfering with and disabling nukes in siloes over several decades. Can't find a link ATM but it's on Youtube somewhere I think.
You are trying to make the point I was anticipating.

One might have been a supporter of someone like Trump or Cuomo for all kinds of reasons, but for many it's simply over once a certain line is crossed.

As I said, it is a difficult point to argue against because their transgressions concern what many consider really basic values.
What truth got out? This still seems like an enormous effort to prove that Hunter Biden is a dirtbag, which was already proven for years. Like didn't he sleep with his brother's widow and stuff like that?

Obviously they want to use the sins of the son to tarnish the father, but if there was actual proof of some sort of wrong-doing, it'd still be the number one story on Fox News every day.

So really you just get to complain that Facebook and Twitter didn't run it the way you wanted them to. And sure you can complain about that, but it seems pretty disingenuous to then claim that you believe in free speech if you're also trying to compel private companies to carry whatever story you prefer.
Building Python script CLIs with argparse and Click
The share of renewables is currently around 25% in Europe, and the target is 45% by 2030. My fear is that we will end up leaving tens of millions behind, condemning them to a life without energy security, since it won't make sense economically to build all this new infrastructure in many places.

Russia on the other hand with it's unlimited energy can figure out how to get it to countries like China and India. If you have energy you have everything, because it's a seller's market, and the world is a much bigger place than just the countries participating in the sanctions. At the end of the day there is no replacing the energy density, storability and price of fossil fuels. They will likely remain the primary driver of growth for developing countries that can't afford anything else.
Yeah like in every other place in the world, only in those places it's a lot safer and cleaner and cheaper to live :)
Because we don't.

Which is probably because it's too fine a granularity, especially historically: even an ordinal month-day had limited use to preindustrial contexts were time-boundaries were necessary quite fuzzy owing to the vagaries of communications or transport.

Technically you don't need years either, but chunky boundaries are useful as both reference points and communication shortcuts.
They scraped all the code submitted to GitHub and used it to train the AI behind the now-paid Copilot product
But if you do all that right, then what benefit does AMP serve?
The ocean is rapidly becoming uninhabitable for all kinds of life, orcas included. While we would previously expect a calf to live 60 years, that number is slowly dwindling and may accelerate in a downward direction. Contaminants like BPAs and BFRs are a big deal and already starting to have an effect in New Zealand on the orca population’s food supply.

I don’t know how you expect injured and rejected juveniles to survive outside of an artificial environment. Orcas are social animals, and they need a pod.

As far as stupid/evil, well believe what you like but I just believe in resilience. The same way we should have an arctic seed vault backing up seeds we should have a backup for different kinds of sea life.
userscript injecting this everywhere:

window.addEventListener('copy', function copyintercept(e) {
console.log(copyintercept.caller, 'copy action initiated');
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
}, true)

document.addEventListener("contextmenu", bringBackDefault, true);

function bringBackDefault(event) { event.returnValue = true;
(typeof event.stopPropagation === 'function') && event.stopPropagation();
(typeof event.cancelBubble === 'function') && event.cancelBubble();
}
Adding the thing that complains is a one-time cost. It may work on Firefox now, but making sure that it continues working on Firefox is a continuous resource investment.
Even if true, which I doubt, what does this have to do with manufactured consent?

There are plenty of other sources. You don't even need a source: Just follow a couple of influential newspapers for a while and observe how they initiate opinions, staunchly defend and propagate those opinions for a while and then reverse opinions. Upon which they staunchly defend and propagate the exact opposite.

Partly, it is a game to keep the population busy and avoid them thinking about real issues.
It would not be a small change if you wanted to actually make them usable for the standard library - ie. add a second 'struct bytes'-variant of EVERY function that currently accepts a NUL-terminated string.

No, just calling a conversion function before (that would need heap allocation) would never be accepted by C programmers (for the overhead).

Then there is inertia - how many really would want to port their application to a different string type? Not to mention, all the libraries you're using would also have to been converted.
So it's a three-element periodic table: Hydrogen, Helium, Metals. :)

i still don't understand. Should i put a bet (like €50), i can find an operator that closes such databases, or that you find an operator that doesn't?

I'm part of the mobile communication industry (while being in research) and part of my job is interacting with operators.
The laptop story is the original whataboutism.

Again, the whole point of the laptop story is to smear the opposition and anybody who is concerned only about corruption in one party is not really concerned about corruption.
I see that backfiring horribly, e.g. see reddit's /r/idiotsincars. If that is your standard it seems much more reasonable to expect that "normal driving" will require substantially higher insurance premiums or even special permits within like 20 years
Would love to read it too if you do end up doing a write-up.

PayPal’s stubborn refusal to implement U2F tells me all I need to know about their security: it’s pure theater.
The rules around const don't compose with pointers inside structs, which makes this more complicated than you'd like. (I guess, just one struct for mutable and one for view of the string would work.)
There’s an XKCD for that: https://xkcd.com/1053/
That was the only point about the laptop -- to smear Biden.
This has a great potential for advertising. Everyone likes to get unique offers delivered into theirclipboards.

I think that copy/paste in browser should only be done with hotkeys like Ctrl + C/V or using menu. Sites should not have access to clipboard on click/tap because it is easy to misuse.
Indeed, it has many routes, but it tends to skew towards leisure destinations. Also, Heathrow has the vast majority of the premium demand, so, for example, airlines that have aircraft with a First[0] cabin will schedule those aircraft to Heathrow and not Gatwick. It might seem strange to be discussing premium demand in the context of connections from Accra, but the toy-spitting that happened when BA tried to move the flights to Gatwick was coming from high-ranking politicians — who are certainly not flying in economy.

[0] International First, not what is called First in the US.
Yeah, I assume they are stacked. But they could do with better design to make that obvious (it isn't at all without inferring from the text) or some clarification in the text (or just with the graph key).
It's buried in my own verbiage, but this is the thrust of my reply.

If you rely, for your mental picture of what is ... important and what can be dismissed, on the same institutions that suppress true stories and promote false ones, then how even are you making these choices?

At the risk of distracting you from answering that question, I'll answer yours: partisan feuding is destroying the US, so I absolutely put country before party. Moreover, I actively seek out, listen to and even respect people with whom I disagree. Corruption is corruption, whether it's "my guy" or "their guy".

I heartily recommend Pomeranz’s book, it steers clear of the quasi-triumphalist “the West was destined to win it” discourse, quite the contrary, and because of that it is all the better for it.
The performance per watt point is a more than fair argument. It also cuts both ways. If Apple decides ARM is still the performance per watt leader in 20 years, there's a good chance they'll still be using it. If any other processor tech reaches a better spot, they have the expertise and the semi-closed ecosystem to switch processors quicker than pretty much anyone else in most of the spaces into which they sell. It's something they've not only done multiple times, but done well and are known for doing well.
My guess is that there really are economies of scale in construction but they're exploited by the manufacturers of materials, not the builders. For instance, builders can now buy a door in its frame instead of hanging it onsite. Also prefabricated wall sections, roof trusses, plasterboard instead of plastering by hand, etc.
Doesn't this have to do with the formation of those elements? As in 'anything heavier than helium is a metal because it was formed in the explosion of a first generation star'? Rather than the chemical definition of what a metal is they probably should have used '2nd generation or later elements' but then again, computer programmers call little boxes with wires attached to them 'mice' and nobody bats an eye (and in fact, that use has now become commonplace).
So Mearsheimer, who went to West Point, is a "supporter of the invasion" as well?

Ironically, these interpretations are a manifestation of manufactured consent! Anyone mentioning undesirable parts of history must be crushed!

Majority of people were still subsistence farmers. The massive transfer of wealth from the colonies and trade (particularly in England and the Netherlands) was what allowed Europe to jump ahead.

In many ways pre-industrial economy was a zero sum game for someone to be rich and afford to have enough capital to invest into developing industrial production somebody had to be poor. This mean that 90%+ of all people in China and in every other relatively large country lived in extreme poverty.

European colonial powers were simply the first to outsource this dynamic into other continents. While most people in Europe did not directly benefit from native or African slaves in the Americas the transfer of wealth allowed them to import grain and other products from abroad which simultaneously freed up enough labor to develop mining and other industries and increased the purchasing power enough to create significant demand for manufactured goods.

No reforms in China or any ancient empire could have achieved this as long as 90% of their populations were confined to permanently remaining subsistence farmers. Also the Song created paper money because they did not have enough gold and silver it didn’t really offer any benefits besides that and had significant risks. Every attempt to institute paper money, not directly tied to gold or silver prior to the 20th century failed.
Inertia is no excuse, if something like SDS was adopted by WG14, eventually C applications could slowly be migrated into it.

As it is, it will never happen.
The Song invented gunpowder, but did not put it into mass production.

Paper money was certainly adopted. There was a class of administrators who could see the advantages, and so there was demand.
A large section of the sciences has now been thoroughly captured by the social justice ideology.
Hence why something like SDS should be part of the standard.
