The problem is that the US has outsourced hate speech laws to "the market". Instead of the government deciding what can be said, it is now corporations subject to the forces of capitalism.

To have any kind of reach to exercise your freedom of speech, you need social media. Your own site or any of the free speech absolutists options wouldn't get you too far (and they also contribute to radical bubbles, but that aside). This has always been true, but before it was TV Networks and other big media corporations deciding what to platform. Free speech with reach has always been an illusion.

But also, even the social media giants have issues enforcing their rules consistently.

The same hole on the law exists for Kiwi Farms. It's a website so vile, most corporations that aren't under obligation to provide services wouldn't - because it makes them look really bad. Cloudflare has been getting away with ignoring these forces for a while, but the heat's on. (Though interestingly, when it was about sex work, Cloudflare did not fight on their customer's behalf.)

I would really rather the US figures out a way to capture websites like Kiwi Farms in their legal framework, like most other countries in the world would.

Actually in Europe back then i didn't have such issues, though that may be because i visited places frequented by tourists including Russians (and in 1990s in Russia dollar was de-facto currency for almost everything other than the grocery store)

Though even there I remember another interface mismatch situation - a group of Russians in our hotel wanted to rent some very expensive car, and the rent agency required a credit card where is the guys naturally had no cards, only cash in the amount almost sufficient to buy the car :)

In general through the 1990s the behavior of the post-USSR people, Russians in particular, coming to civilized West out of the woodwork of the post-Iron-Curtain chaos was in many situations comic-worthy.
Closed-loop management is great but "Infrastructure as Software" seems like the most confusing possible name for it.
Yes, I think iPhone moving to USB-C will make a dent. Currently, nearly half of the mobile ecosystem doesn't work with USB very well and a large portion of them represents a high-end segment which the recent USB standards target for. Also Apple will produce hundreds of millions of high quality USB cables which will help economies of scale.
Glue is Apache Spark as a service. If you don't need Spark, you will be dealing with lots of uncecessary complexity.

If you do need Spark, Databricks is likely a better option though :)

I wonder how do you compare pipebird with data tools like Airbyte?
I was just in SF (also from Canada), and I couldn't use their metro's Clipper card app to reload the card, because it assumed my card had a US billing address. (Not just a 5-digit zip-code box, but also a "state" selector with only options of US states, and no "country" selector.)

Weird that they even bothered to list the app for download in the Canadian app-store.
Bingo. Predictability and consistency is actually hard to execute and scale.

I can order an iPad from Best Buy or Apple, but most of the time I'm never quite sure when it might arrive. Amazon, I know it should arrive tonight or tomorrow.

I tend to avoid buying many brands on Amazon because of supply chain integrity risks, but their execution is consistent and predictable. I can't say that about many retailers.
Good luck passing a SOC 2 audit with that kind of workflow!
And an informed diverse discussion of that news.
I've noticed it mostly at the supermarket. E.g., Coca Cola products are much more expensive than they were at the beginning of the year, and they're never on sale anymore. Certain meats and vegetables are noticeably more expensive too. Aside from that, I luckily haven't been affected too much (yet), as my energy and fuel consumption is relatively low. I'll be surprised if my HOA fee doesn't get raised again next year, though.

> The best bet is a free press, democracy and hopefully informed voters that participate (sadly that is becoming more of a wish these days)

The political news of the week is that the FBI launched a no-knock raid on the former president, we learned from the Rogan-Zuckerberg interview they were also active in suppressing news stories that would have favoured him and were probably active in the years of stupidity that was exposed as a farce in the Muller report.

If you happen to be in the US, tack FBI reform (or ideally, disbandment) to your list of wants. Because if there is a collapse of press freedom or democracy they'll be involved for the worse. Or indeed, are involved. And they're part of the spies-on-everyone conspiracy wasn't-actually-a-theory.

... you got me, despite myself I liked that answer so much I had to respond.
USB wants to appeal to everyone, and like HDMI is ready to discount themselves (by using 'optional' capabilities) as hard as it takes to appease their members. This is why you can buy a USB device or cable for $1 — and why those devices are a compatibility nightmare. (The dollar amounts are higher for HDMI, but the same problem applies.)

Thunderbolt wants to appeal to "quality at a premium" and does not offer optional capabilities. This is why you can buy any Thunderbolt cable and use any Thunderbolt device — and why cheap devices decline to certify for Thunderbolt.
> This time, the bull market lasted nearly one and a half years. People seemed to adjust into the mentality that the higher prices are a new normal.

No mention of the Fed balance sheet by Vitalik. How come? He's clearly too smart to be ignorant of the Fed's money printing and its dramatic effect on crypto prices.
> “There remains some serious cutting to do before year-end -- in North America and the rest of the world,” said Marc Wulfraat, MWPVL’s founder and president. “Having said this, they continue to go live with new facilities this year at an astonishing pace.”

This doesn't seem particularly notable then - they are continuing to grow their operation.

The only time anything close has happened to me was years ago when I deposited a $40k check into savings. The teller went and got a manger who asked if I wanted to hear about investment options. I declined and that was it. Not an unreasonable question to ask somebody delisting a large sum of money.
Promulgate whose power? The powers that be, or academic/"Twitter SJW" power? I'm not convinced that it is a particularly effective weapon, since most normal people would be confused and not convinced when someone posits that a black person saying "All white people must die" is not racist.
From what I understand, the primary mode of 51% attack is controlling 51% of hash power, such as renting a lot of GPU for a short term attack. This gives you the ability to censor the network, rendering it near useless and probably crashing the value of BTC. If the attacker has shorted BTC it may be profitable to crash the price.
I agree that a 51% attack just to reverse a transaction is unlikely, but given how disruptive it would be (as a break in an otherwise ~perfect security track record), there could be other motives. For example, someone could take a short position in Bitcoin. Or a government could attack it for any number of reasons.

I worked at Samsung Austin Semiconductor for a decade. Samsung treated me extremely well and I really do consider them to be like family.

Samsung is not like American semiconductor manufacturers. The organization is a bit more militaristic and that's not a bad thing, I liked the discipline displayed by fellow coworkers.

I haven't worked at American semiconductor manufacturers, but know those who have. Their attitude about execution always struck me as less than professional. But again, I can't comment from first-hand knowledge.

Unlike sbx's experience, I was able to shape things and take ownership. I owned or had responsibility for many of the internal fab systems. I created my own kingdom, ensuring it ran like a Swiss watch, against which transgressions were met with something akin to judiciously tempered wrath. I was basically left alone to ensure my responsibilities were well-managed.

I loved it. I was able to work on global, billion-dollar software projects that indirectly helped change the world, through the semiconductors we produced. It's hard to describe the magnitude of a fab's operations if you haven't seen it firsthand. SAS does conduct tours in Austin; I can see if I can get you into one of those if you can't by simply calling them up yourself.

I miss it.

AMA. I'm about to take off from ABIA but I can answer questions later. I do believe we need more domestic semiconductor manufacturing here, so I'd be glad to help.

Ramesh Balwani was prosecuted.

What are some examples of men who haven’t been prosecuted for fraud on this scale?

Isn’t prosecuting for fraud good for non-fraudulent founders? That means investors can trust them more. So if men actually weren’t prosecuted, it would be easier to invest in female founders than male founders.

There’s nothing wrong with “healthy” and responsible breeding; adopting is important for sure, but show dogs are still a thing, as are purebred dogs for first time dog owners, or those who are dedicated to a particular breed. It’s important to find a reputable breeder, though, rather than a puppy mill.
I don't remember anyone dragging any government officials kicking and screaming anywhere - the courts are a part of the government after all, so the government submitting to the courts' ruling is simply a matter of the checks and balances of government working. After all, if it were truly the case that government never gives up power voluntarily, the courts would never rule against the government.

And outside of the two instances you mentioned, the vast majority of quarantine measures were indeed voluntarily lifted without injunction from the courts.

But I suppose it's simply the nature of modern hyperreality that we must remember the past differently.
Your username creeped me out because it’s my city and zip, haha. Had to do a double take
Nix isn't the only package manager for home directories or source packages. Working in a home directory doesn't require sudo or a daemon. sudo doesn't mean run everything as root.

Mostly the people who go to elite schools - Oxford/cambridge etc, that's the training ground, for better or worse, children of old money, and those of new money, with a polite sprinkle of everyman. It's not a permanent group though, some enter, some leave over time, money is the driver though, and the desire to be in control.

A loud representation that you can see in action are the children of trump, even with all their obvious faults they have access to multi billion dollar deals that few average people see. Murdoch et al is their propaganda arm, if you have an agenda you'd like to be in the public sphere and have lots of money, then you can use these to move public opinion in that direction.
The Oxford English dictionary's first definition for the word "artificial" is "made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural."

"Made by humans" is a useful definition of "artificial," because regardless of how we feel about human superiority, in practice we often want to distinguish between things that are made by humans, and things that aren't. If we didn't use the word "artificial" for that, we'd come up with another convenient adjective meaning the same thing (and then probably have semantic arguments over that one).

Do you not worry that it's obviously going to stop working at some point, and it'd be better to get onto a newer system while you have the time now and you aren't doing it when it's actually broken?
Not strawmanning, just misunderstood! I think it would help, but it would require a big shift in the way people think about phones. They'd need to be thought of as computers right (which they are), so people would expect to be able to update them like they do a regular computer. Then even lay people could benefit by getting secure hand me downs.
They know most of that already. If you go a lot and gamble (and lose, but that goes without saying), they will start offering you freebies.

I'm not sure if they know "this person can't afford to lose anymore" though.

And we already have link aggregation, so you can have 120gbps "networking" over very short distances today, if you want it. All you need is four short, expensive cables. The problem is you will rapidly run into system-level limitations, given that 120gbps would consume more or less all of the I/O resources on many common desktop-class CPUs.

Everyone complains about the 15 minutes problem on lambda, but am I the only that have a problem with the 250MB deployment size limit?
The actual reason is that long running invocations run synchronous workflows, typically requiring holding threads and sockets open for the entire duration of execution.

Lambda is a complex system, and holding those sockets for long times across many services could cause resource starvation issues. You've got load balancers, data plane, control plane, tenant vms, and a whole bunch of caches, and support services that all need to be ready to roll over the lifetime of the invocation.

And you have to consider the use case for draining and patching lambda pools. If someone is running a two hour function and you need to take down any server that's currently holding a thread or socket for it, you need to wait for the function to complete. You can't start a new load, so you are really inefficiently using resources until the function completes.
That's strange. It's been a while so my memory may be faulty, but I don't recall having to go into a physical branch to do the proof of funds.
i was a climber for 8 years... i'd say that, in general, women in the gym i was going to several times a week definitely don't want to be hit on at the gym. why? because they go a lot and if you get into some awkward situation there, you don't want to keep running into the same person over and over again...

that said, it does make for a good first date and i definitely got a bunch of random people into climbing that way... =)

It is funny how simple it really is. Everyone has a price and every job has a price. If people can get a better paying job under roughly equivalent working conditions they will do that. When I hear people complain that they can’t find good help it makes me laugh. The answer is and always has been the same.

I am interested in what percentage of these jobs will be able to be filled by individuals with a high school diploma or associates degree.
Thunderbolt adopting USB-C was definitely a clever move for both Thunderbolt and USB.

But then why can we flag posts from the front page?
Technically he's only spending $25-55/week!

I wonder if cases like this could be helped if he was introduced to those "savings-with-lottery-features" apps. I'll say longgame.co as an example(I've never used it and am not vouching for it, I know there are others out there as well)

It's really a shame. If he put that $50/week into a savings acct, that would be $2500 at the end of the year, which could pay for a nice week-long vacation for the family if they wanted to spend it on fun stuff and not reducing debt and other non-fun stuff.
It's interesting that the funding for this came from the Zcash Community Grants. There's a lot of money involved with cryptocurrency and a lot of it gets invested into the software involved. It's interesting that in this case, serious money got invested into some software that isn't strictly cryptocurrency-related and is useful outside of cryptocurrency. It makes me wonder if there are other software projects that are generally useful, including but not exclusively to cryptocurrency projects, that could benefit similarly from seeking funding from cryptocurrency projects. Even if one disliked cryptocurrency, this could be seen as getting money redistributed to more useful endeavors to benefit everyone.
