"when the Fed engages in quantitative easing, it goes a step further and attempts to keep returns for longer-term bonds down as well. In the United States, this meant the purchasing of mortgage-backed securities and government bonds. (In Japan, central bankers have had to utilize even more extreme measures, going so far as directly buying not only government bonds but also stocks on the public market). By bidding up the prices of long-term bonds through quantitative easing, the Fed forces investors to seek returns in even riskier assets, such as equities.

As investors flow into the equity market, stock prices are bid up to the point at which expected returns for stocks also become unattractive. At this point, the logical next move for global, institutional investors is to move to more risky investment options such as private equity and venture capital. This is exactly what we’ve seen."

The key word is operate. If you operate in a country you have to follow its laws. If you run a business as a single entity you only have to follow the laws of the country there it is based.

Why? Because the jurisdiction of foreign countries ends at their border.

My products are sold globally but are probably illegal in many places. I don't give a flying fuck about complying with another countries laws. For example, one of my businesses is illegal in China, do I self censor it to prevent having Chinese customers? No, if any Chinese break the law using my products - that's on them, it's their choice, I give them the power to do what they want.

Facebook does operate in NZ but it's unclear whether this company is responsible for the public facing product, or is just reselling advertising from a seperate company. It could be dissolved tomorrow and nothing would happen because NZ isn't going to block Facebook like Iran or Egypt.

The NZ government has no legal or defacto control over what happens on Facebook.
> Don't believe me? Example: we've got the ongoing threat of a strike tby rail workers who want paid sick leave. They currently have no paid sick leave. Calling in sick will come off their vacation days. It may even get them disciplined and fired. They asked for 15 paid sick days. Some in Congress wanted to compromise and give them 7 days.

The current Administration is the one forcing rail workers to accept a deal that doesn't give them what they want and forces them not to strike.
The sellers thank you!

"In 2017, consulting giant Booz Allen cut a deal with the government to extract junk fees from Americans who want to use Federal lands and waters for hunting or fishing."

Seems like a racket to charge money for hunting federal lands, when many of the lands have been purchased or maintained using the conservation/hunting excise tax on firearms and ammunition.

How is “influence” relevant here? Also, does that make Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel “influential on government”. Can these people now not ask a social media company to remove non consensual nude photos of their family members because they are “influential on government“?

Setup, WTF are you saying?
Unattended upgrades holds a lock that apt uses while downloading. Shouldn't, does.

So a really common experience is turn on a machine, apt install foo, blocked by the updates, anger. Helps a little that apt now tells me what is holding the lock, but it's always unattended upgrades. Which somehow has come back to life after attempts to disable it.
Kinda my feeling when looking at python shops and dynamic languages: code that never exits the prototype stage.
On Linux, `open` was already taken - by a command to run a program on a virtual console (aka virtual terminal; also VC or VT for short). Probably doesn't see much use anymore. I remember in the 1990s, running Slackware, I used virtual consoles all the time. Nowadays, I have an Ubuntu box sitting on my desk, and I use it a lot, but always over SSH or HTTPS from my Mac. It doesn't even have a monitor attached to it any more; back when it did, the monitor would spend months at a time turned off, and on the rare occasions I did use it, I don't remember ever leaving X11 (or maybe it was Wayland, I can't remember). PTYs still get used all the time, but virtual consoles/terminals not that much.

Hence the command had to be named `xdg-open`. Until, more recently, someone decided it was a stupid situation, so `open` was renamed `openvt`, and `open` is now an alias for `xdg-open`.
Too much focus on software quality and zealous DevOps before product market fit can kill startups too (I even experienced it). Nobody cares about a useless product with good quality. Nothing wrong with that, as others have said maybe change for a larger company and a more mature product.

> What happened to the rest of the region?

They were left alone? e.g. the elites in Utica probably didn't mind the destruction of Carthage that much. However the core of the Carthaginian territory in North Africa was a collection of 'allied' cities dominated by Carthage (just like Roman Italy before the Social War). So there wasn't really much of a centralized system to keep in place (unlike in China and some other empires)
We're skipping the whole "avoid another 2016" part of it?
Yeah, one of the many reasons I deleted my Facebook account (which I'd had since they required an .edu email address to sign up) was because all of their engagement and clickbait was pushing far-Right content.

Maybe it's gotten better over the last 2 years, but in 2020 the top-10 pages by engagement were consistently Dan Bongino, Fox News, Breitbart, Ben Shapiro, and various unofficial Trump fan accounts.
Ah, but that benefits Google so they wouldn’t do that.

You're complaining that the Unix API is hard to sandbox, and indeed that sandboxing comes with inherent friction. That isn't a flatpak problem. Macos sometimes does it better, but it's an unsolved problem.

On Ubuntu we shouldn't have to be forced to accept snap packaging for the browser, but we are. Canonical make a number of shit decisions, chasing some corporate dollars, and using flatpak is something you can do without rebuilding everything yourself.
Just to further clarify, by "mainstream" I meant "the actual test courts use." The "textualist" version is more something to write a law review article about, a theory of how you might get to roughly the same place we are in reality while giving weight to the word "Congress."

Take the state actor doctrine in combination with the fact that the First Amendment is incorporated against the states, and you get the reality that it even applies to, for example, state colleges and universities disciplining students and teachers, despite them not being "Congress," a "law," or even an agent of the federal government at all.
The poll showed that 4 out of 5 people who said they had been following the laptop story (i.e., people who already knew about it despite the "censorship") thought that it was "very" or "somewhat" likely that coverage of the story affected the outcome of the election.

> This was your original comment.

Because people downvoted me to -4 before anyone commented. Since I only talked about censorship in regards to traditional media it was safe to assume people dislike censorship of traditional media. Which is a contradiction to wanting censorship and moderation on social media.

> Yes, it absolutely is censorship. And if twitter wants to do that I'm fine with that. I don't want the government doing that.

I agree but Twitter in the past is very inconsistent in its moderation and censorship. Stuff that’s an absolute violation of rules is allowed but borderline violations on the right are quickly dealt with. I’m fine with a private company doing it if it’s consistent.
If people were posting revenge porn of Tiffany Trump on Twitter and RNC staffers contacted Twitter to notify them of the offending tweets, I think that would be commendable.
CNN and CNBC are like Fanta and Coca-Cola: same junk, same owners, different labels.
Yeah. I didn't mean to be dismissive. From the perspective of companies like TSMC and Intel, making chips is just what they do. If they sell their thing for $8 and you only use it to look at cat pictures, I don't think they're sad or anything. You gave them your money, they gave them their chip, everyone is happy.

If someone nukes the factories and engineers, obviously society suffers an incomprehensible loss. All I'm saying is that it's OK to take it for granted. The people that know how to do the thing are doing their thing. It's wonderful.
> I have big problems with politicians having ability to for example take down content criticizing them

Is this a hypothetical? Because plenty of content on FB criticising New Zealand's politicians.
There was a debate about whether it really couldn't be better explained by something other than life, then there was a debate as to whether they actually detected phosphine in the first place. See, for example, https://www.washington.edu/news/2021/01/27/phosphine-venus-s...
"Level Eleven: [...] “Forgive the interruption, boss, but a lot of our most active users are getting angry at you specifically, because the hate speech, spam, and copyright filters are blocking their dank memes, and sometimes they’re getting removed from the platform for violating the rules too many times. They think you’re sitting here and removing their accounts personally.”

Why does everyone blame me?!? Okay, let’s set up a “trust council” who will handle all content moderation questions and appeals."

Here's the first obvious mistake. One should just ignore tinfoil-hat claims, not trying to respond. Also, replacing a manager (who is reporting to CEO) with committee is almost never a good idea.

Here's another one:

"Hire more people in Germany and now review reports as much as possible, but default to taking down reported content".

There should be "...in Germany" addition. Country-law abiding takedown should affect only that one country.

Lossless encoding can and will consume all available bandwidth available to a client and is designed to be run on local networks.

VNC is unfortunately inherently inefficient because it is just a framebuffer protocol, instead of RDP which passes through the graphics primitives to be rendered. The former will always involve encoding/decoding overhead at the server and client.

I try to be really conservative with the "but ultimately the consumer has to bear some responsibility" because it's essentially always true: harms that were truly mitigable or unpredictable are quite rare.

No matter how careful and smart and conservative a person is-- sometimes they're just having a blonde moment and will fall for whatever. I agree that people do need to be responsible and avoid traps but I think their responsibility in no way diminishes the perps responsibility.

Putting responsibility on the victims is also complicated by the victim pools being heterogeneous. I have a lot less sympathy for some pre-mine recipient who deposited $10 million dollars of eth on FTX to get the 5% "yield" (and probably should have recognized that the yield was a ponzi red flag) and gamble a bit on ICO tokens with 20x leverage than I do for Joe-Sixpack who saw the superbowl commercials and decided to finally buy a half Bitcoin. The first was careless with their funds, greedily ignoring red flags... the second just made the mistake of being lulled into a false sense of security-- most things with a superbowl ad are okay (or at least Joe Sixpack will soon hear about their problems if they're not).

Well, we have some knowledge; we know for a fact NZ has censored the manifesto and recorded video stream of Brenton Tarrant, the guy who elaborately planned and carried out a massacre of 51 people at a mosque in Christchurch. I believe they've done the same for stuff like ISIS and other terrorist materials, but I don't know the specific details of that.

In the Tarrant case we do know: the manifesto (not too hard to find) is about equal parts polemic and roadmap/planning document. The video recording is from a helmet-mounter camera and basically looks like a first person shooter video, except that all the targets are fleeing civilians. It's not impossible for people in NZ to see these materials; academics, journalists and so on can apply for permits to obtain and possess the material. Absent that, possession is, as I understand it, a crime, but one with a very low chance of being caught. The primary intent of the law is to have a strong sanction to prevent people distributing it and inciting similar incidents in the future.

I'm not convinced that forcing the materials fully out of circulation is a foolproof preventive strategy, but it certainly creates barriers to the acquisition/ collection of such material by wannabes, and collecting this sort of material is definitely A Thing among other mass shooters, who are quite a bit more social than most people imagine and have an online community of sorts.

So the free speech argument generally goes along the lines of 'we don't know what we don't know, allowing the free flow of ideas is the only rational way to ensure freedom of life and the discovery of new ideas without inhibition.' But from NZ's point of view, they definitely don't care for a repeat or innovation in the practice of massacres, and the surviving relatives and neighbors of the dead presumably don't care to see the murder of family and friends become a an entertainment commodity or be weaponized by trolls who use the material to traumatize them further (please, let's not pretend that this doesn't happen). And they've balanced their prohibition with exceptions for serious analysis and study with a straightforward application process, albeit a subjective one that is administered by bureaucrats rather than a mechanical system.

So there's a concrete example, with come added context (sorry, it's late and I'm not at my main machine so I'm not going to dig up a pile of links/documents to flesh it out to article quality). So, should we accord any weight to those considerations, including the exceptions, and if not why not?
Don’t think I’ve come a binary named open on a Linux machine. (And under Arch Linux, `pacman -F /usr/bin/open` produces nothing, so no package in the standard repositories contains it.) I’m guessing you’re thinking of `xdg-open .`.

> If you run a business as a single entity you only have to follow the laws of the country there it is based.

That train of thought hasn't worked out well for a lot of business people running, say, online gambling that violates US law, while based in Bermuda. They often get detained in transit through the the US.

If you want to operate in a market, you have to obey the laws of the nation governing that market. Otherwise, you don't get to.

It's straightforward.
>> It’s important to point out, though, that the experiment comes with all kinds of caveats. The wormholes the group were simulating, and indeed, even the holographic principle on which they’re based, exist in a hypothetical kind of universe that operates very differently from our own. In addition, their experiments assumed only two dimensions: one spatial dimension and the dimension of time.

>> “The relationship between quantum entanglement, spacetime, and quantum gravity is one of the most important questions in fundamental physics and an active area of theoretical research,” Spiropulu said.

Experiment is done in two dimensions but the physicists describe an experiment which is valid in “spacetime" which must have 4 dimensions.

It looks like there is a disconnect between theory and the experiment.
There's no political constituency for "limited government". Most voters want the government to do things they like and not do things they dislike. They just disagree on what those things are.

I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT in another educational context: short essays that high school and college students often have to write for class. ChatGPT excels. I am putting my test results on the following page:

https://www.gally.net/temp/202212chatgpt/index.html

Some of the prompts and responses involve Japanese because I teach at a university in Japan. I especially want to see how well Japanese students could use ChatGPT to produce compositions for their English academic writing classes. Of the trials I’ve done so far, Test 18 on the above page is the most significant: The Japanese prompt outlines briefly a three-paragraph essay, and ChatGPT produces two very good original essays in English on the requested topic and with the requested organization.
Good. A reduction in dependencies and tooling. Once matured, no more: isomorphic fetch, pkg, nodemon, mocha/jest. Now if we can do the same for webpack and typescript, that would be great. There must come a day when a developer can bootstrap a reasonably sized Node project with just the built in tooling.

This story doesn't seem to add up, at least at first glance.

It's not clear WHICH brand the OP is even talking about. He mentions "Hypervolt" in the first sentence, but that's not his company. Hyperice makes Hypervolt (https://hyperice.com/about-us/).

It sounds like this is a knock-off vendor complaining about another knock-off vendor. The OP, "David", links to a youtube video where the poster is "Jimmy Den" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb7U8vOE4N8).

Am I wrong here? Are fabless vendors, composed of a few people, who basically rebrand white-label shit from alibaba really making (and perhaps in this case losing) millions of dollars in time-frames of months to a couple of years ??
