>The University of California, Berkeley, accepted only about 11 percent of applicants for this year's freshman class, which is one of the most diverse in decades. Nearly 70 percent are U.S. students of color.

According to 2018 US Census Bureau estimates, California's population was 59.5% White (36.6% Non-Hispanic White), 14.7% Asian, 13.8% Some Other Race, 5.8% Black or African American, 0.8% Native American and Alaskan Native, 0.4% Pacific Islander and 5.1% from two or more races.[23]

So they dropped the number of white students by 50% intentionally. They are actively discriminating against white people in violation of the state law they mention. I can't see how this is not active racism.

The state passed a law saying you can't be racist. You can't come in and build a complicated way to be racist.

So do you drop the thing, add some rebar gridwork, and then pour concrete over the whole thing ? So that it is somewhat easier to pull out and drive away with than, say, an ATM ?
It's also bad for Musk. He's being forced to own a company he doesn't want. And probably can't offload for anywhere he paid for it. He can either try and make it work or just eat billions in loss.
i just bought a reolink RLC-823A Smart 8MP PTZ PoE Camera with Spotlights

It is build like a tank and fully aluminium. If you mount it right you easily can hold a person from it. I bascially made a hole through the wall for the cables and mounted it directly to the outside wall.

For now im quite confident that nobody will be able to remove it without much fuzz
I'm especially entertained by this notion that making a company government-owned will magically ensure "proper customer support".

That might be the funniest thing I've read in weeks, actually.
Do you believe that GPT-3 is going to want to become president after visiting the whitehouse?

If you answer no, then you must necessarily admit it's different.

It can do a lot of things, but in the end it's still just a glorified function.
I think mapping the roads is a problem that doesn't exist and not the hurdle to automate driving. You could do the same thing with a line of paint on the road and we already have those in most places. The real challenge is everything else that is happening on and around the roads.
Nobody forced him to decide to buy it. After signing the contracts he should have to follow through.

> Well, it depends on the governance obviously.

Three reasons why nationalization is a bad idea:

* Power disparity. As it is, Facebook is destroying people and business without any accountability. Now we hand that to the state who:

* Has all the incentive to destroy anything that competes, and the government has the ultimate way to do it: just outlaw the competition. If you think the product is bad today, imagine how fantastic it will be in 10 years of no competition.

* Has all the incentive to make people use it. So, it becomes oppressive and horrible and the government decides, hey, let's make everyone use this thing for essential services like payments and democracy!

All in all, nationalization of a social network is one of the worst directions we can take, regardless of politics. It's just a bad idea.
it used to be that only taxes and death would come for us all, now AI is in on it as well,

maybe you could consider joining the machine on a project that feeds the AI with unique new art, I imagine the models will need to be updated or re-learned with "license friendly" art at some point, might be a nice way to go out with the bang..
Are there any US grounds for a lawsuit when this happens? I can't think of any, but it seems like there should be, right? Not a lawyer, but who wants to write a memo on it?

I guess it's actually the same thing as the social media "Free speech" wars... meta has the first ammendment right to deny service to whomever they want for whatever they want (sans discirmination against protected classes), they can legally decide to ruin this company's business just cause they don't like them, even if it wasn't an accident? Yeah, the problem is facebook is too powerful, they aren't just any random business choosing not to work with you.
It isn't strange, but I've found that writing code as I'm thinking helps me think about the problem.

Also, the domain is so large in programming, it is impossible for me to contextualize the entire set of edge cases. From remembering what exceptions to handle to library interactions, types, etc.. returned from various methods, it is just not really possible to think about even a small system this way (as in a system with 4-5 methods that perform real logic beyond "format this"

But, yeah - definitely large picture before I start to code. "Huh, yeah that calls that... ok.." but once I need to solve a problem "oh, this queue needs to be maintained this way... I need to compare these values against these values, oh, I need a second queue... I need to take this lock... oh this returns this type, which needs to be serialized so I need to figure that out..." - all of that stuff needs to be hashed out in a combination of paper & code. No way I can hold that in my head.
And now it’s laying off thousands..
That sounds like Cloud Storage to me (Dropbox, Google Drive Backup/Restore/Sync/whatever it's called this year).

India: A Revolution in Private Schooling
The linkage between the tech culture and the Dead/Jam Band culture has always interested me. I was a tour rat for years before I discovered that I could make a living creating software.

The culture of freely taping and trading live shows is deeply ingrained in my psyche and value system - the idea that a band could give something away "for free", creating so much value in the world yet recovering only a part of that value as concert revenue, was very influential to me. And I believe it was a cultural foundation for open source software in some ways. At least personally, when I started writing software, I was immediately drawn to the value system of open source software with near-RMS levels of enthusiuasm.
I have coded with a lot of people like this, and I think it is absolutely a fine way to approach things, and can even be good, but one piece of advice I always tell them:

The job has only started when it is working. That doesn't mean you're done! :)
If only my screen had issues with the picture. Instead, its internal clock lags behind the source, causing audio to be ever more delayed. It resets after a standby/wake-up cycle, though. It's annoying to restart TV after about 3 hours, though.
Thanks.
Great question;

1- Users don't alerted when they are added to a list. What we're talking about here is not the Twitter lists feature we know. Audience feature of Twitter ads. Lists are added there.
They don't know in any way. They only see your ad.
You can see how.
https://createtargetaudience.com/blog/upload-an-audience-lis...
Audience section will not be visible to you yet. Because for this, a payment method must be entered first.

2- We are not currently using any dataset. Maybe in the future.
Totally simple logic.
It only lists people who write "the keyword you want" in their profile. and the list can be downloaded in CSV format.
Are any of the sites using FB events/analytics? It depends on what the non-profit sites are doing, but the Facebook rules for prohibited domains [1] seem to include what a lot of non-profits may do:

"Predominantly target or serve an audience likely to have suffered from mental, emotional, financial or physical harm, or facing severe economic hardship that directly affects housing, food security or freedom."

I'm guess if a single one of your non-profit sites does all the sites would be blocked. Apart from pleading with FB, using domains for each would be a better solution to stop this happening the next time rules change or one of your sites does something not allowed

Do you know what a capacity factor is? Do you understand how overprovisioning works and why we would also need it with nuclear power (at a much higher price)? Do you have any numbers to back up your once a month claim and 30% deficit or are you just making stuff up?

Twitter is going to become a bed of lies under his rule.
I am curious to know why someone would tweet something like that before trying it in a lab with a freshly installed VM.
Not much has changed for me. When I was in the office, my team was full of heads down individuals. We'd bring our own lunch and eat at our desks because that was the only way to get a full day's work done at the office while also having enough time for family and hobbies.

I've since switched employers and I'm in a more enthusiastic team, where my colleagues are more inclined to mingle, but everyone stays longer to make up for the lost time. Once you include the commute, I find myself giving up a lot for small social sessions.

The problem is that when you're operating in a competitive environment, it's easy to justify forgoing everything to produce impact, even if it means being lonely.
Duck-typing for a war.
I'll go for "duh!" for $100, Alex. Any curation affects media exposure (algorithmic or not). By definition, curation means there's a filter, and a filter implies that some things won't get through. A bit of a shame to see my tax dollars funding do-nothing studies like this one.

Study also seems weirdly partisan: for example, "During the COVID-19 pandemic, informative tweets about fatality rates and preventative measures are often more important than tweets related to political events"—important to whom? I have a feeling Republicans were more interested in the latter, while Democrats were more interested in the former.

"Adding tweets to user timelines is an especially opportune mechanism to mitigate the potential negative impacts of social media platforms. Added content could be curated using more traditional editorial values, in service to both journalists and Twitter users"—authors seem to be confused as to what Twitter is. It's NOT a newspaper, and it's absolutely not supposed to have the same editorial standards as a newspaper. Twitter has echo chambers by design. From a product standpoint, people happen to like them. So the algorithm reinforces this.

Is this healthy? I don't know, probably not, but neither is alcohol or tobacco. Maybe all social media apps should have a "surgeon general's" warning. Which seems like a way more actionable course than making social media apps use journalistic-style editorial standards (how do you even enforce that on something like TikTok?).
And so one might argue that to a substantial degree, OBL won.

Great news ! That's the only problem with Debian, THANKS !!!
This is true. But this risk should probably be weighed against the risk of a bad customer getting your entire root domain deny-listed.
At home I use a LE wildcard cert and renew on one server and rsync the cert to all the other servers and use cron to reload/restart services using the certs every 5 days. I use pfsense as my gateway and use DNS Forwarder there to manage all the internal DNS, I also use it to force all DNS requests from LAN to the pfsense DNS forwarder.
public transport works well in dense urban centers. It makes no sense in rural areas where frequency of trips is low and distances high. And simply saying 'tough for the bumpkins' doesn't really work because the cities need the same roads to bring in resources.
Or preregistration domains for nonprofits that aren’t on your service (or not yet).
Oculus VR, Giphy, Mapillary and more are also successful in their space.

Just like Google's successes, the "successes" are actually built by others (almost all you list were acquisitions), but the difference (as mentioned before) is that Google sometimes acquire products for the product itself, while Facebook generally doesn't.
Have generally been skeptical of 'cloud desktop' but... I had a friend who got in to sales for a cloud desktop provider about 6-7 years ago. There was only one real strong use case and she sold to that niche. Some specific cad/modeling/rendering vertical had software they used, and it was a CPU bear. Running that 'remotely' in the cloud was much faster than anything they could have locally. Managing all the licensing and security/perms there was an added benefit, but she was also mostly selling to smaller firms that didn't have full time staff to handle that.

For the market she was in, at the time, there was a moderately clear win. I watched a pitch, and the speed diff was real. The productivity gains in many folks saving an hour or two in rendering time was easily worth the... I can't remember - $200/month/seat maybe? Outside of those types of use cases, the benefits were harder to justify. And... in 2020+... unsure if local desktop CPU caught up enough that the benefits were lower.
Yyyep. This whole situation fucking sucks.

Moving somewhere less expensive than London and doing your current work remotely might be an option, everything’s become less focused on going into the studio to work after the ‘rona. Lower your expenses and start playing with personal work, your client history can probably get you some interesting gallery opportunities to give you a decent chance at selling Authentically Human-Made work to rich folks at an absurd price.

I ditched your kind of career path a while back, I’m using the drawing skills learnt chasing the Hollywood animation dream to draw indy comics and furry porn. Makes less money but I can eke out a living in a much cheaper town than Los Angeles, and I pretty much draw what I want.
This is also my experience. Large Rust/C/C++ code bases will easily compile 3-4x as quickly with a fast workstation as with a top end laptop. I blame thermal design and power limits
Backplanes of industrial PCs occasionally also have a spot for adding a -5V voltage regulator for the same reason.
OK, but just because a serial murdered can be charming, doesn't mean that every charming person in a serial murderer. It is true, I can't deduce anything with certainty from my personal and public correspondence, or the messages I see him send to others. But as opposed to the serial murderer, the issue here is the way he communicates and behaves.

I guess you could try this out empirically, by creating a throwaway Email address and sending him a dry, technical question under a female name, and see how he responds.
> Even after all that... buses and trams and light rail work absurdly well, at a fraction of the cost.

"Absurdly" is far from true. They work barely at all if your time is valuable to you.

I can take a train into a nearby CBD - avg 15m wait time for bus (to train station), 10m bus transit time, avg 7m wait at train station, similar waiting times at destination, all multiplied by 2 because I return at some point.

It's usually between 45m and 60m.

In about 15m I can drive there. I'd rather spend the extra time with my kid.

I believe the facebook crawler will crawl redirects, such that a URL that results in a redirect to a blocked domain is still going to get blocked.

(Even if it were a satisfactory solution to say "message all your customers and tell them they have to start using the new domain for ticket sales, including for events that are already promoted with ongoing ticket sales" which of course it isn't, although I follow you that it would be perhaps better than nothing).

I never understood the admonishment not to play the lottery at all.

I waste lots of money doing things that are fun experiences, or buying unnecessary foods or drinks, or gadgets or toys, etc.

I can understand recommending not to get addicted to playing, or not to spend money that should be going elsewhere, right? But when that admonishment is not qualified, then it is a little silly. Might as well say, never buy extra dip for your french fries or something.

It's true that I haven't bought lottery tickets in years, but spending a few hundred cents on some longshot jackpot can be its own kind of fun.
Why specifically Ruby here? How about python, php, etc? Also, many dynamic languages have static type checkers if you want to use them (i.e. Ruby has Sorbet).
Watch the great BBC show “The Capture” for an entertaining look at one way this could plausibly be abused by governments.
Zig goes a fair bit further than c++ afaik. The ideal would be to be able to call run-time functions indiscriminately at compile-time (e.g. fopen) instead of having to build separate other tools that will generate source code...
"Total insolation is 170PW" - That assumes 100% efficiency, it's from the upper atmosphere, and making full use of it would mean there would be no light left for plants or the ocean. After accounting for solar panel efficiency, battery efficiency, and the amount of surface where it's possible to put panels without displacing nature and agriculture it'll be somewhere in the low hundreds of TWs.

"Current primary energy is 18TW" - That's outdated and only consists of the energy converted from electricity. It doesn't include non-electric heating, driving, maritime transportation, aviation and freight. Taking those int account our total consumption is around 100TW.
One major cost factor in public transport is the driver.
Uber like dial-a-ride services never caught on as public transport option because of this.
Replace the driver by a computer and even if the car costs twice as much it becomes an attractive solutions.
Disclamer: I'm part of the IsardVDI project (https://gitlab.com/isard/isardvdi)

With RDP, in our experience, the latency issue is nonexistent. We've even have successfully run workstations editing 4k video with 0 issues. Yes, for those extreme cases you need a GPU (and the only option is NVIDIA Grid, which are really expensive cards with licensing on top of that), but for the most part, if the hypervisor has a good CPU, it's more than enough, we have clients that even use RDP through the browser.

You don't even need to have a really good internet connection. Also, SPICE is really good too, with really good desktop integration
It's trivial to shut off an inverter or to feather a wind turbine's blades and stop generating.

Throttling a nuclear reactor can not happen as quickly, and the have much slower ramp rates as well.

Pumped hydro storage was developed because of this reason. We would likely use batteries today, instead of more pumped hydro.
social networks? sure. Social Media platforms? no.
The audience wont know if they're the audience if they don't know what the website is about. I know there's a whole stereotype about "you silly devs arent the audience" but this is not me being a silly dev, this is the kind of behavior I see from just about anyone. People have short attention spans. Sell your "product" and sell it fast.
Constructive dismissal issimpky convincing someone to leave without the burden to your cowardice and the company’s revenue that firing entails. You are playing semantic games - your described practice is not something different.

It is dishonesty in the service of profit, the simplest type of corruption available. Euphemisms are always just euphemisms.

> into less accountable hands.

While I'm not totally behind "nationalize all the things", do you really think the government is less accountable than Meta? (or Alphabet etc?)

I guess that raises the question "accountable to whom", but in general, for all it's problems with accountability (and there are many), and acknolwedging that different US governments can stack up differently (say local vs federal) -- I'd still say that the government is in general definitely more accountable to "society", or the population at large, than giant corporations are.

If I were king of the world, maybe I'd try having 1/3rd of board members appointed by government, 1/3rd elected by users, 1/3rd elected by employees. Oh, right, there's stockholders too I guess... ok, 1/4th all around. I know this is only my utopian fantasy.
Nobody forced musk to sign a contract binding him to buy twitter. He did that of his own volition. Let's not pretend that he is caught in some red tape here
Have you ever dealt with business support from Google? If you can get support at all, it's basically bots and auto replies. Even the worst state in the US has better support than Google or any other big software company out there.
What bothers me about this sort of idea is more the follow-up. Let's imagine for the sake of discussion that we prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that some groups are, on average, less intelligent than others. What then would the people advancing this argument suggest we do as a society? My gut feeling tells me they won't stop at just removing some current measures in the name of meritocracy, but will also gradually impose restrictions and it'll get real somber real fast.
But it was said that "since kids can easily understand it" and it is not clear how that resolves.

Does anyone know how this compares to something like Sonarworks, which does a similar process but for a series of measurements across your room with a specific microphone they provide?
I want to believe that this is not a necessary conflict, or rather is at best one that can be resolved. The choice still remains difficult, as you don't know the future, so it is preferable to have both on board.
The discussion I've seen is that this is such a strongly written contract, that the only out is Elon Musk declaring bankruptcy. At which point, the court will seize all of Elons TSLA shares and use it to pay for TWTR as best they can.

Either that, or Morgan Stanley (Bank in charge of $13 billion) needs to start talking about bots and mDAU

Given how well that went for Elon, I don't think Morgan Stanley will do that. It's better for them to take the billions they lost on this deal already and just write it off. (Maybe $1 or $2 billion loss so far given how much credit markets have moved between April and today)
