> Being allowed to impersonate others simply doesn't seem to be an important part of that.

You forgot the "allowed to impersonate others to do parodies" part of it. I don't understand how you can be staunchly in favour of freedom of speech while holding the position that this kind of speech, blatant parody humour using impersonation as a delivery tool, is not protected under freedom of speech.

If I somehow managed to register the domain "gooogle.com" and use it for humour, to take jabs at Google by displaying loads of fake ads instead of search results, showing on purpose unrelated results to the search query, etc., should my website be banned?

Impersonation for scams and straight up deception are already punishable under other laws, why is that impersonation for parody and humour should be punished? I thought that was... Speech.
So you set up an AWS account with some email xyz@example.com and then you transferred that domain to be managed in that same account? That sounds like a niche and terrible idea tbh, why would you dot hat?
I just want to add that you don't need special ripping software.

Just clean your CD's carefully and meticulously before ripping. If possible also clean the CD-ROM player lens using a cotton swab wrapped in non-abrasive lens tissue (available at photographic stores) and dipped in lens cleaning fluid.

Check that your ripping software doesn't do any other processing. For example the 'freac' ripping software has an "Enable Signal Processing" menu item which should be turned off.
Careful, you are in danger of conflating "free speech" with what is protected (and to what degree) by the first amendment. They are also two very different things.
For a long time - maybe still 49cc "mopeds" were a thing in the UK as you could use them without a license whereas for a 49cc motorcycle you did need one. I bought one once - the pedals could be folded out if you needed and were kind of hopeless as the bike was much too heavy to be pedaled in a useful way. It was ok as a small motorcycle - top speed about 40mph.

I think now for that category they've dropped the pedal requirement but reduced the speed to 30mph.
Bring back small time corruption. It’s reserved for the super wealthy in the US but if foremans could grease the wheels every now and again things go a lot faster.

You used to get this for free in NYC as you had to bribe someone to avoid concrete delivery delays and rejected mixes. They made sure all the little guys with a tiny bit of power stayed out of your way.

The industry is now known as expediters and depending on the city is useless.

> a lot of the smart people I followed followed complete tools

There is no technological solution to this. It isn't bad software art. Sometimes life is disappointing.

Maybe I like Harry Potter and enjoy fan fiction of a certain flavor on twitter and follow the author only to discover she doesn't share my politics (via her tweets and retweets). That is not the fault of Twitter. Well, if I didn't find certain views held by JK Rowling's disagreeable everything would actually be working as it should and there would be no complaints.

You can't pick and choose only the things you like about the people you are interested in. Having those books in common doesn't guarantee fellow fans are agreeable - same thing would happen if I were to attend a book reading in the olden days before twitter and overhear people expressing views that upset me.

I can of course demand everybody at the venue accommodate me on everything since we all enjoy Harry Potter and I am very special but that might not fly. I could compartmentalize and stick to the the things we have in common. Or I could excuse myself.

You can still have accessibility without having a whole dedicated team for it

I meant it as having a dedicated accessibility the team not just going to Twitter and removing all accessibility settings.
This is an interesting interview about a study done in the UK for the British government, and the reactions the researchers faced.

Not sure if that’s the kind of thing you were asking for?
That's not at all what happened here. Criticism implies that there were any useful hints on what exactly is bad or should be done differently, instead of vague ridicule and insults. And BTW, excusing asshole behavior like that is not a good thing to do.

She actually tweeted back both of them asking for details, a level of understanding neither tweet actually merited (but still a good strategy), and got no answer.

I feel for the person. I am uncertain if their reaction about it limiting their job potential is hyperbole or not - but I assure you my friend anywhere you would actually want to work would see these people are just being rude.

Over the years I have had a number of things thrown into the spotlight. While I personally find the exposure exciting, there are always people that are just weirdly viscous.

The one I am still weirdly bothered by is a photo of myself with an AWS Snowball ended up on Reddit. Mid conversation people started discussing how my open mouth smile was going to gather flies. A person then commented that I looked like a lizard person. I think about that a lot for some reason. Comment was later deleted even, but never from my brain.
The "secret lawmaking" still needs to be voted on in parliament

Because it's not actually a Parliament, its members pretty much always supports the Commission in whatever it wants to do except for the protest parties like UKIP, Le Pen's party etc. Nobody with any political ambition or interest goes to the EP because they can't do anything there, so it's full of seat warmers whose primary interest is collecting a salary.

Here's another Juncker quote for you, to demonstrate the problem:

https://www.politico.eu/article/jean-claude-juncker-european...

Jean-Claude Juncker: ‘The Parliament is ridiculous’ After only about 30 MEPs show up for debate, Commission president says body ‘not serious.’

Can you imagine the British Prime Minister talking about the British Parliament in that way? Of course not, it's unthinkable. But Juncker is right. The EP is not even a Parliament because a Parliament is by definition the arm of government that creates law. The EP can't do that, therefore it isn't a Parliament, which leads to the question of what it really is. Unfortunately like in a single party state, the terminology of democracy is used but with procedural changes that render it an undemocratic system, thus we don't have a good word for this type of fake pseudo-Parliament.

You propose that the European "Parliament" could, in extremis, attempt to simply shut down the EU completely if the Commission didn't do as it was told. This is a theoretical possibility only, sort of like organizing a second party in a one party state. You could try, and anti-EU parties send people to the Parliament who think that institution shouldn't even exist at all, partly to try that (see UKIP). But the sort of people who want to spend years rotting uselessly in a powerless pseudo-Parliament are of course the sort of yes-men who went there specifically because they are EU mega fans. The sort of people who aren't obviously focus on national politics because that's where they think, correctly, power should actually reside.

A good example of the problems that typify the EP is that the EU likes prosecuting "crimes" like using funding you get via being elected to the EP to engage in anti-EU politics. One might think that people who work for a Parliament would be expected to engage in politics, but the EU considers campaigning against the EU to be a "conflict of interest" and national politics not European politics. Because the only possible positions you can have as a EU level party are pro/anti the EU as a whole due to that lack of power, classifying the anti position as "national politics" and thus a "conflict of interest" effectively encodes in EU procedure that the only allowable position in the Parliament is blindly applauding whatever is put in front of them. Do the opposite and you can be tried for fraud.

You are the exception, not the rule. Google for iPhone marketshare.
That has little to do with supporting specific languages and environments though, and more to do with those languages not have a good method to do CA installation. I have no idea about Node.js, but Python will just use the regular trust store for the OS, because it's all just OpenSSL under the hood.

Your problem isn't with mkcert and mkcert isn't missing support for anything, but with there not being a good, universal way to manage trust stores. That's an independent issue that mkcert can't fix.

This paper is a slightly different approach to a similar problem:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.14349

They are inserting an FPGA fabric between standard CPUs and standard DDR RAM, allowing the memory to be reorganized on the fly. For example you can flip columns and rows in arrays, or turn ordinary row-oriented databases into column-first databases.

I think all these approaches have a problem that you end up having to throw away all existing software to take advantage of them.
If you travel internationally you quickly realize all the excuses for why things take so long are just that. Be curious how long Tesla would take to build a huge full factory in China. In ca the permitting alone is on the order of years.

Monetization model 'for all forms of content' on Twitter – it may beat YouTube's
If you're on a Mastodon instance with someone spewing hate, either the admin of the instance bans them or you can move to an instance where that hate isn't tolerated. It's the benefit of the platform, and it's why Jack is trying to build something similar (well, a protocol) with Blue Sky.
A lot of what's "viral/popular" on instagram is just reposts from tiktok/twitter. If you don't curate a following of actual people, that's much of what the algorithm feeds you.

Even (or perhaps especially) with a machine per user, it's critical to keep that user from accidentally shooting themselves in the foot. Typing sudo does help remind a user they're doing something different. I don't want to always have the right to force delete root!
I’d argue that you cannot. Social media inherently needs to hold your attention for as long as possible, and will do that through controversy, misleading and false information, and an attempt to manipulate. It’s part and parcel of the product, and extremely harmful to society as a whole.
Chemist here.

Formate does indeed act as a reducing agent under appropriate conditions, but its byproduct is typically CO2 gas, not formaldehyde (HCOO- -> CO2 + H+ + 2e-). Aldehydes are generally unstable with respect to disproproportionation and are therefore unlikely reaction products.

Organoaluminum compounds are molecules with direct Al-C bonds, whereas these are effectively normal ionic salts with some unusual unit cell structure. Conflating DiBAl with aluminum formate is akin to conflating chlorine gas with clhoride anion...
Yes, I could see it being preferable or at least on the same level as Cobol and certainly better than using Assembly for programming text adventures, but surely that's just due to certain limitations of the times. Lisp came out like a year later (not sure how long until you could purchase a lisp machine) and is a much better general purpose language (some would claim it's still unsurpassed). Later we had things like APL, C, Pascal...etc and Fortran was left to numerical work.

All that to say I think Fortran can only claim to be what we call "general purpose" for a very limited window of time in the very early stages of computing.
Yeah, probably number 2.

Actually doesnt it depend on the setting ("homepage" vs. "all") ?
Because web browsers are supposed to render HTML, not markdown.

When presented with a file full of markdown, how should the browser present it? As a webpage? PDF? Plain text? Something else?

Once that format is chosen, markdown doesn't have any way to control that presentation. Black text on white? Opposite? Something else? How wide should paragraphs be? Each author and page has different preferences and requirements.

That's not considering the dozens of flavors of markdown, each with their own extensions, features, and subtle edge cases. See XKCD on standards: https://xkcd.com/927/

20 years ago, people were trying to make web pages out of XML. It didn't catch on. Markdown, likewise, has some pretty obvious pitfalls and feature deficiencies compared to HTML.
That's ... highly unusual, from a democratic standpoint.

But I believe major point is still the same. Nobody knows if that's the actual posted ballot. You could easily take several and only cast one.

It is my personal belief that votes absolutely carry a market value, they're just very hard to monetize. (Which is usually regarded to be a virtue.)
Rust getting more of Haskell's type system features is a good thing. The stronger your type system is, the more mistakes you can discover as compiler errors instead of runtime bugs.
That doesn't rule out indirect influence, no? The likes of Stanford are what other universities aim for, so if the implicit message is 'If you want to play in that league, you need a massive administration and pretty facilities for them', then you shouldn't be surprised to see other universities, who don't necessarily have the same financial means, trying to mimic that.
Nothing, unless you are selectively only confirming specific people.

The idea was basically "Let's give some legal protections to investment in research so someone can't just steal it the second you publish it".

As it is common, the idea was fine, it even somewhat worked in few places, but applying it everywhere turned out to be silly. We have medical companies changing an atom here in there to make "same" but legally distinct drugs, and software people patenting half a day of work of someone as some "invention" (and my favourite [1], "playing with cat using a laser pointer").

It failed as a system decades ago and if anything it became blockage to innovation (gotta check thousands of patents, they might be too similar!).

More than that, it is peanuts in cost for corporation but significant one for a single "inventor" so majority of it lies in hands of corporations that would do that R&D anyway.

The protection it provides was also supposed to encourage publishing the science (as opposed to just lock up your trade secrets and never show it to the world) but frankly long patent interval makes it a bit pointless, competition can just invent "same/similar legally distinct process in many situation and only people getting richer by patents are lawyers, not "inventors".

I start to think laws should have "best by" date, and be re-evaulated after 10 or 20 years whether they served a purpose well and still serve it...

It’s got a bit of a capitalist/startup-y slant but I’ve found some tactics super effective:

- Writing ideas down to let them leave your mind

- Expanding on ideas to help ideas and fresh thinking enter and leave your mind (if you think of ideas like books on a shelf, whose pages get written as you turn them).

- Sharing ideas[0] that you aren’t going to work on in the near future. (Fittingly, building a paid list for ideas was one of the ideas from edition #1 [1].

- Getting better and faster at validating ideas and iterating iff they show promise

- Do not talk about ideas you’re working on until after they’re finished except to close friends who ask/care. Marketing/early customer discovery is one thing but avoiding talking helps build “desire” I find.

The idea of trying to pad my backlog of ideas every week is good, but this idea of coming up with ideas every day is quite interesting.

Most of those aren’t shell companies by the common definition of a shell company.

Usually people talking about shell companies are referring to companies with no business interests at all or if they are bring expansive only contracts/ip agreements. A construction company is doing actual business. Land owned in a corporation has an actual asset etc.

Most startups start as shell companies, you sort of can’t create a corporation without being one for some amount of time.

So I’m ok with the idea of corporate ownership reform but I think you’d need to get more specific than “shell companies == bad”
I’m other words, the process is corrupt, allocating money to private interests rather than to actually constructing the project.

Well stated. Deep down I’ve known this to be true, but since Pareto’s law is often over used, it’s easy to lose sight of other aspects of reality. This one is often overlooked.

Judgement must be used to understand how these two concepts can apply to a given situation or decision.
