>taking responsibility does not necessarily imply consequences

I guess that's the problem? These days leaders have no problem "taking responsibility" to make themselves look good when there's no consequence("hey I did what all good leaders do").
Whatever happened to the standard definition of censorship?

Which is that it's decreed by a government or similar institution, and that it is enforced by law? That it's about suppressing ideas/material in a whole society?

Whatever privately run sites/newspapers/organizations do, it's other things -- editorial policy, moderation, curation. But by definition it's not censorship. In the same way that having a crappy job isn't slavery, and a serial killer isn't committing genocide. Privately banning certain content on a single site, or newspaper, is editorial policy, end of story.

Words mean things, and a lot of people have fought long and hard against actual censorship, such as the Comstock laws. Let's not cheapen freedom from censorship by turning it into "but I want to say whatever I want anywhere to anyone who wants to listen!", which is what OP is proposing. Freedom from censorship is about having the right to speak -- but it's not, and never has been, about making anyone else give you a platform for it. And this distinction is vitally important.
So, do you think the adoption of systemd was motivated to a great extent by the influence of commercial companies' interest? Would you say that's true for distributions like Debian, which you gave as an example?

I'm not being facetious, it's just that this aspect has not been described to me so far, IIRC.
And the DMCA is about copyright. Where's trademark mentioned?
That's a good point, I hadn't considered it that way.

> what grandma's PC from 2006 has to do with todays usages?

I mean, grandma clearly uses her PC for it to be included in a global market share, so why do you think her use should be discounted?

Even if her usage is considered "niche" (debatable as that is), it doesn't mean it shouldn't be included.
Exactly how I feel. I even made a blank site but have yet to write anything down. I end up just coding instead lol
It seems to be open source (source code is in github), but the license isn't free for commercial use. I'm not exactly sure what to call it...
Yup, also can’t really prove it came from the same source code.
Businesses price at willingness to pay.

> Powell complained about the labour market being tight

No, he didn’t [1].

He justified a rate rise in a faltering economy by pointing to the labor market’s strength. Were the labor market weaker we’d be in stagflation and monetary policy would have no room to manoeuvre.

Sounds like aspartame (my artificial sweetener of choice) seems to still be basically without side effect besides gut biome changes. Which doesn’t really mean anything currently because they don’t know if that has any measurable change in the body overall.
Than why the frick is the whole PNW experiencing this problem.

Seattle and Portland and Vancouver CA are all overran by the homeless. None of these cities are fun to be in during the winter.

Hell, SF bay area most likely has fewer visibly homeless per capita than the other listed cities.

Yet there are more cars than ever: https://www.statista.com/statistics/281134/number-of-vehicle...

Even if you were right you'd make my point, we use them less but have more of them, since ~50% of a car's environment impact is done before it even leaves the factory, you end up with a net negative

If it was true it would be easy to find photographic evidence online. The fact no one in this thread can provide any evidence makes me think this is a rubbish claim.
Unrelated, how is the market for Rust devs?

Anyone successfully transitioned from Node.js/TypeScript/Python background (aka higher level languages) to Rust?
I respectfully disagree. Beyond the reason that there is no way you can be 100% certain 'unmoderated media' was the primary motivator. Nobody can presume to know his motivations or inner dialogue. A look at that mans history shows clear mental health issues and self-destructive behavior so we can infer some things but never truly know.

Violence exists outside of mean tweets and political rhetoric. People, even crazy ones, almost always have their own agency even if it runs contrary to what most consider to be normal thoughts and behavior. They choose to act, regardless of others and mostly without concern or conscious. There are crazy people out there and censoring others wont ever stop bad people from doing bad things. If so, then how do we account for the evils done by those prior to our inter-connected world?
I'm a bit elderly at this point but I remember plenty of people in that time frame arguing that cooperative multitasking was better than preemptive.
I’ve found that content quality is much more important than posting consistency. This is because there’s a nonlinear relationship between views & quality. For example a video that is twice as good might be capable of getting 10 times as many views. If that’s true it implies that (within reason) spending more time to make a better video is the best strategy. Intuitively this makes sense: would it be better to make 1 mediocre video every day consistently OR 1 really good video every 1-3 weeks that gets 100x the views.

I’ve heard the argument that YouTube rewards consistency, but I am anything but consistent with my videos [1](every 1-3 months) and I haven’t noticed any negative consequences.

It does feel a bit like "Big Sugar" at work, demonising its replacement with FUD.

The way they lump them all together feels really odd to me.

It would be like a report saying non-hydrocarbon vehicles are bad for reason X. Why would anyone but the sugar industry care about all the different substitutes for sugar in such an undifferentiated way?
"Doesn't the risk of being overweight completely overwhelm the risk of a not-yet-understood gut flora change?"

Probably. However those outcomes can be achieved in ways that don't involve sugar substitutes (eg question implies a false dichotomy).
I don't blame Qualcomm as much as I blame Microsoft. They tried to use the transition to ARM to lockdown and smartphonize PCs. There were at least two attempts to bring out a restricted, store only version of Windows (Windows RT and Windows 10 S). But what's the point of Windows when you can't use the majority of existing Windows software? ARM and x86 differences are bad enough, but they had to artificially add more barriers.
This is great, thank you so much

Yeah, that's pointless. I would expect most coffee drinkers to already have the best coffee at home. I guess it was a really poor attempt to translate the nice gesture to an environment where it doesn't really work.
To some extent, but if you have been around since the early days it’s unlikely your golden handcuffs will be worth as much as your long-vested options.
I switched from soda to tea three or four times in my life before swearing off soda entirely. Lost 10 lbs every time.

The problem with artificial sweeteners is that we have “taste buds” for sweet in our intestines, and there’s a theory that reacting to that increases absorption, so your body pulls more carbs from French fries you ate with your Diet Coke.

This is likely a big part of why lecturing people about CICO is such a dick move.

“Calories” in food are net calories, not gross calories. We didn’t calculate the calories in bread by burning it in a sensor chamber. We got it by isolating volunteers, measuring the energy in their food versus the energy in their poop, assuming the rest ends up in your body.

But of course any heat generated by gut microbes might be shed, and the hydrogen bonds in your burps are also lost calories.

I was a very gassy person when I was a young beanpole. Not so much anymore.
I think a more positive way to think about MrBeast's behavior of giving away money isn't that he's doing it for views, but that he's doing it for fun.

There is a documentary about how actor Bill Murray will occasionally spend a bunch of money on a random stranger that he meets in public.

I see this trend of rich YTers giving away free money as evidence that the creator economy has lowered the barrier to entry to philanthropy, in the same way that the assembly line lowered the barrier to entry to car ownership.

No longer do you have to be a cutthroat oil baron to have enough disposable to make it rain on a stranger every now and then. You can just get YT rich and famous.

Now, I say this having only viewed one of his free money videos. But from what I saw the participants were well treated and appeared to be having fun.
Preventing some abuses can be worse than nothing. Imagine the following.

Your friend Adam hits Bob. You do nothing. Bob tries to hit back but you grab his arms so he can't. Adam hits Bob. You do nothing. Bob still can't hit back because you are preventing him.

Another possibility:

A Corp in which you are a stockholder is polluting the environment. You do nothing. B Inc pollutes the environment but not as much. You step in to stop them which causes B to lose out on a lot of profit. A Corp outcompetes B Inc. You become rich.

Do I think we are being overly harsh on Iran? No. Should we consider the possibility and try to avoid it? Yes. Should we be suspicious of other people that are biased in what they enforce? Yes.
I always wanted that feature too in RTS games. But, I think the build up to the exciting parts might be part of the excitement. If it was just non-stop action, it might be overwhelming.

Plus, there's no reason why the entire game couldn't be automated, at which point it's no longer a game.

But, I agree it would be cool if at least some of the logic was exposed an editable. One tricky part would be endless loops or overloading memory, so they would need to be careful about the actions that they make programmable.

Might even be a fun way to recruit future dev talent for the gaming company.
Still easier than Twitter employees trying to grind leetcode again in a far worse economic environment.
Backups work fine on my Android phone. They consistently go to a folder and Syncthing backs them up from there.

Also no problems with it not ringing, Signal is actually the primary way that my family calls each other now and no one has experienced it not ringing when expected.

The rest I admittedly dont use or arent impacted by.

While its not perfect in all ways, I disagree with the "alpha" quality sentiment. Especially when you are comparing it to apps that dont have the same security goals or standards.
> i’m not referring to running out of money, just the idea that it’s harder to interview during the time around the holidays and immediately after

Keep in mind that this is interviewing without a job taking 40 hours (or maybe more) of their time every week.

Interviewing is much, much easier when it replaces your job and you're still collecting paychecks for several months.
On the other hand, companies use recessions to cut headcount without causing the people they want to keep to head for the exits too.
Yeah, it's a mid-range phone, not a top-end one. But, eh, $600. And frankly, for what I'm doing, a mid-range phone is quite adequate. It has for example, 3x the memory and 2x the processing power of the temporary phone I'm using right now which is functional-but-annoying.
> sucralose significantly impaired glycemic response

What's the takeaway from that? Sucralose (Splenda) has long been my sweetener of choice. I prefer the taste over actual sugar in many things.

Should I be avoiding it? Is that impaired glycemic response a bad thing I should be worried about?
How many fat people do you see drinking Diet Coke? It doesn't seem to be helping, does it?

The answer: just indulge your sweet tooth, if you have one, but be real moderate about it. A quarter tsp of sugar in the coffee, just a couple cookies after dinner. And so forth.

And quit drinking soda, period. Get carbonated water if you have to have those bubbles. Don't eat between meals.

Next case.
"I have people skills!"

I get what you're saying and have worked with people like that. But I see that as a different management problem that also needs to be solved.
Thank you for the warning. Yes it can get pretty addictive checking the numbers all the time. I have no intention of becoming the next Mr Beast so there is no worry there. I have a big list of technical topics I want to cover but there is definitely a worry that no one will watch them. I have been releasing 2 videos each week but I will likely cut this down to 1 once I have grown a bit more. Otherwise, I can definitely see it leading to burnout.

Yes, you should have quite a bit of cash as an emergency fund. There are government subsidies available for health insurance, but they phase out if you earn more.

https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/premium-tax-credit

Generally, decent insurance costs anywhere from $400 to $1,200 per month, depending on age of insured, plus up to $9k out of pocket maximum for individual and $18k for families, per calendar year.

So to adequate insure one’s self for healthcare expenses, you would need $18k or $36k for out of pocket expenses (since things can happen at end of calendar year), plus $400 to $1,200 per person per month minus any premium tax credits. For a young family, I would guesstimate $24k to $30k per year in premiums minus any tax credits.

Basically, be poor enough to qualify for free healthcare, or earn enough to be able to spend a few tens of thousands of dollars for a healthcare emergency, but try not to be inbetween.
Like in the NI case, it's conceivable that only the most rudimentary artificial intellects will fall pray to this self hacking.

One of the first things we did in our new house was run cat cables to multiple rooms. Specifically, our offices have ethernet sockets right by our desktop PCs so we only have to run a few inches of cable which I spliced into the perfect length to keep things looking clean.

We game a fair amount, and it's a nice bit of infrastructure that we value greatly
> Exposure to saccharin and sucralose significantly impaired glycemic response, but this was not seen with the aspartame or stevia groups. None of the blood markers show real changes in any group except for insulin levels going up in the glucose and stevia groups (and since everyone was getting glucose as part of the dosing, that suggests a lowering of the glucose-driven insulin response overall).

What does impairing glycemic response mean, exactly?
Two possible solutions come to mind:

1. Such a plan exists, but it's kept secret. The plan itself is so heinous that the public wouldn't accept it.

2. No such plan exists because first contact has already been made.

Many games do allow modding and Lua, a popular language for that, is a good starter language that's a lot like JavaScript. Mod.io[0] is good place to find games that use their excellent modding API which makes it easy for programmers to create mods, easy for the studio to distribute them, and easy for players to install them from within the game.

I say this as an experienced programmer who never modded a game before and was induced to write one [1] by this capability. It also made me learn Lua, and I'm glad I did!

To more directly answer your question, it's a lot of work for developers to permit any kind of UGC (user-generated content) and modding definitely falls in this category. One reason Lua is so popular as a modding language is that it creates an absolute sandbox and can even individually sandbox functions and language elements, making it ideal for allowing users to code against some aspects of the game but not all of them -- and not giving access to any of the game's code itself. These are always factors if you allow any user code.

Progressives have officially (in the meme sense) decided Elon is a right-wing puppet. Anything he does must therefore be considered evil. Therefore, this change in Twitter policy is evil.

Stephen King cares because he aligns with the Progressive Left as his tribe.

It doesn't matter whether the policy is equally fair, it only matters whether it possibly allows people on the political Right to start speaking on Twitter again. Not that this move guarantees anything like that, but it is perceived that this could be the result.

tl;dr: Stephen King has been led to believe this is the plan to get Trump back on Twitter.

Nah, this was a local sub and I participated regularly. That's why it was so shocking. I had hundreds to thousands of posts over a few years there and there was no indication ever that I was doing anything problematic.

This is my semi-regular message where I decry that Keybase Chat (https://keybase.io) isn't more popular. It's cross-platform, fully E2EE, has the best identity solution of all, open source, doesn't depend on phone numbers, etc etc, isn't mar In my experience, it beat all the alternatives I have used (incl. Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, and especially Apple's Messenger). The only caveat is that Keybase.io got acquired by Zoom (thus, it's Zoom now) and the service is at the continued mercy of Zoom. However it's been a year (years?) and it's still working great.
