>>If you try to influence the theatre to not have the person speak at all, you are suppressing free speech.

>No. This is also free speech.

But it is also a threat. Should threats be covered under free speech? That seems tricky, and certainly undemocratic.

If you are a random patron telling the theatre you don't like it they might ignore you, but if you are the owner of the popcorn factory, you suddenly get to decide who speaks and who doesn't.

When does a threat cross the line to becoming suppression of someone's rights? Only if it comes from the government? Only when the person with the gun actually pulls the trigger but not when says "if you speak I will shoot?"

Free speech is not an easy topic, certainly not today when anyone has free access to mass media as well. I think the founding fathers would have phrased things very differently if they had known about Radio, TV and the internet.
The entire point of Feynman's worldview is that he is not "great", he is just an individual, and plays to his individual interests. Those interests become strengths because of the natural interest.

It is not about being the best. It is about contributing something that you actually care about.
> It's also impossible to bring back horses as main vehicle of transportation until you have a civilisation collapse

That’s a bad read of the situation. It’s not like no one makes chips.

The reasons people cite for why manufacturers don’t come to America are largely political. The reality is that manufacturing is alive and well but those with industry knowledge aren’t American, and America has most left low margin and high labor manufacturing not all manufacturing. In this case, America is literally paying the Taiwanese to bring their knowledge to America.

Is the world collapsing? No one knows but this can be more easily seen as “vertical integration” of a national economy. No one said Samsung was doomed when apple made their own mobile chips, and there’s no reason that the global economy is doomed just because the richest and most powerful economy in the world wanted a strategically important, high margin business.
Yes, those pesky medieval castles all over the place. And narrow cobbled streets, only two riders abreast. Those are the major problems of Europe, not bureaucracy and indecision at the highest level.

Which is pretty much any material. Including material for which you yourself own copyright (but probably never bothered to register it).
Do you understand the content in the thread?

Its hard to tell from your repeated assertions that do not match what actually occurred in the thread. It feels like you skimmed, and have some bias attempting to give the benefit of doubt to what you see as the embattled party in some kind of unjust lynching instead of legitimate questions of entire shared corporate officer structures, and clearly shared dev teams [that the representative blatantly attempted to claim was out of line while avoiding the actual part of that evidence that was damning, that the dev somehow had access to the raw source of the library in question that very strongly indicates that it was their library and not the rouge devs'] of a known malware entity and a ROOT level CA.

If you are just trying to play devils advocate in what you feel is somehow a mob action instead of what is probably extremely conservative actions by some of the biggest and most legally careful entities in the planet then honestly, I ask why and for what purpose?
> That will also help the company prepare for an "extensive independent audit" — as required by the new law — which is aimed at protecting internet users from illegal content and reducing the spread of harmful but legal material.

(Emphasis mine. It's hard to imagine a more Orwellian move than using the phrase "harmful but legal" in laws.)

I hope Twitter will do so transparently. When a tweet's spread is reduced, it should be clearly marked on the tweet itself, visible to its poster and any readers, that "This tweet has been identified as harmful but legal, and, in accordance with EU regulation X, its visibility has been reduced".

Illegal tweets should similarly show up as black boxes, without content, but listing the specific rationale for their removal. And just like court documents are public, a list of all illegal tweets, including content, should be available to at least journalists and researchers, so that citizens can know how these censorship powers are being (ab)used.

But I have a feeling they won't do that. I have a feeling the EU wants to hide the very fact that censorship is even taking place.

I don't think so. Apart from EXR, AVIF also supports HDR.
Yeah, reading through this whole saga, one of the things I wondered was whether MsgSafe might actually have the ability to get any certificate it wants from Trustcor CA through this special relationship. If it’s got that kind of permission, all the corporate governance separation in the world isn’t going to matter.
Honestly tech folks need to accept that everyone except them likes what Apple does. There is literally no other phone than an iPhone that I'd be comfortable to give my non technical mother or my underage children. They would get scammed, hacked or exploited and the tech companies behind those "you can do what you want with your phone" devices would hold up their hands and say we can't do anything about it, just like Instagram, Facebook or TikTok say now they can't protect our children from seeing harmful content or self harm material. I am so tired and sick of some privileged rich CEOs who campaign so hard to make the Apple ecosystem as toxic as their own platforms so they can get even richer. If you don't want to pay Apple 30% then don't put your stuff in the App Store. You don't like what Apple does, then don't do business with them. Stop whining. Consumers love Apple, young folks feel comfortable to install an online banking app on their grandparents iPhones and parents feel comfortable to give their teenagers an iPhone. I feel like every time some rich AF CEO complains about Apple's 30% Apple should increase it by 1% until they all shut their mouth.
My read is that Mozilla were much more concerned about the shared ownership and operations with Measurement System, than the presence of the malware. I think we can agree that you can't be doing crimes under one company name and simultaneously operate a trusted CA under another?
> it would be wise to start moving away from technological dependence on China asap.

Not to defend China, but the west loves their cheap manufacturing, ask Apple, to name one.

You can't blame them only when it suits you.
I'm afraid there could be a hidden math behind this.

As in: cost of a war with China vs. economic cost of China acquiring TSMC tech.

As long as a war is cheaper, the US is protecting Taiwan.

I'm no expert, but it usually comes down to something like this.
FWIW, HBO Max, Hulu, Paramount, Criterion, and probably others offer subscriptions in app. What else doesn’t? Amazon, maybe?
It's about libel lawsuits. They stay factual rather than share the interpretation of knowledgeable insiders. That's why it's "alleged terrorist" even if it's obvious to everyone.

BTW be careful with expecting the media to spoon feed the narratives you want rather than laying out facts and editorializing them to let you decide. That's how you avoid some bias.
I've never known an administrator who had even the faintest clue what science was all about, let alone what previous was 'good' or what projects would have
'real world effect'. If they had insights on such things, they would likely be working in science, not administration.

Indeed the mess we are in is because of administrators who think organizing academics is like organizing work on an assembly line. They find something quantifiable and insist on more of that. Papers are quantifiable, so they go for that. To try to get at quality, they count citations. Always it's counting, and I'm not sure if that's by analogy to the assembly or because the administrators are challenged to do much more than count.
I'm sad to say I used to really like Quanta magazine pieces but I've become adept at knowing immediately from a Hacker News discussion title (the direct links, not this one) that it's about a Quanta piece, and it's going to be a letdown when you drill in.

I'm not sure if they've become more clickbaity or less discriminating, or if it's just me moving on.
We've known for a long time that for actual use refresh rate (and secondary factors like jitter and tearing) is far more important than resolution, or polygons (and before it became a moot point, color depth).

But the demos and screenshots required to sell the idea aren't impressive if they don't look comparable to recent AAA games, so the wrong kind of hardware keeps getting crammed into the prototypes, and the target keeps moving so there is no opportunity for Moore's Law to solve the mismatch for you.
You don’t need to actually replace them with equal alternatives, just enough so the digital economy doesn’t implode. Even 2015 is probably a target year in terms of performance that doesn’t destroy the entire electronics industry.

I'm speaking about manufacturing in general, I don't think that anybody said that high margin and high tech manufacturing can't be done in the west - stuff like chip manufacturing never left the USA, they simply fell behind.
Don't be ridiculous.

Claims that were classified as COVID misinformation include:

- surgical masks don't work against aerosol viruses

- lockdowns and curfews will not stop covid

- natural immunity due to prior infection is more effective

- mRNA shots don't stop transmission

- mRNA shots don't stop infection

- mRNA shots cause myocarditis

One by one these have been revealed as true, with naysayers looking like ass-covering idiots, or worse, paid shills for big pharma.

If at this point you still have any faith left in the biomedical establishment, the one who doesn't belong on Twitter is you, because you will hysterically fall for the next big thing just the same.

It’s important to be solving an actual problem. Modelling a deck of cards is probably not the problem — what are we actually solving? Building a new hearts.exe? Rendering a custom deck for a laser cutter? Tracking casino fraud?

Those would be better questions which could start off with a discussion about the general solution, followed by a quick “how would you model the cards part of this?” component.

>We demand this of almost all non-phone appliances. Why should phones get an exemption?

Do we really? By law you can't install your own software or ECU in your car and use it legally on the roads. I don't see many people pushing to be able to install BSD on their refrigerator. I think most people would be a lot happier if their TVs didn't come with a full OS. Game consoles have been locked down forever. While re-flashing my router is fun and nice to do, I would wager the absolute vast majority of people both never do it and certainly don't actually care if they can or not. ESPHome is a thing, but most people are buying IOT devices they don't have the ability to run anything they want on.

In fact, other than a personal computer, I'd wager most of the devices most people use in their day to day life with the ability to run software do not have – nor do people "demand" they have – the ability to run any arbitrary piece of software they want on it.
If you want to play Fortnite - one of the most popular games for a generation of people- you can’t use the play store. You need to side load or use a supported store.

True, but Google's own implementation of Android in the Pixel does allow you to re sign the bootloader so you can install your own OS and securely boot to it. And "Android" isn't all the same. It's a broad and shared ecosystem.

> Decrease the tax and this problem virtually goes away.

Why are these companies not happy with the current commissions structure? What guarantee is there that they'll be happy with a new one? Corporations are greedy. They will ask more of whatever their bottom line needs, including users' attention, privacy, etc.

> Then don't install it or only install it if its worth the trade off.

And get excluded from online circles that everyone in the world uses? Or, find a different job, because my employer wants to install their surveillance app outside Apple's sandbox? I prefer not having to do the trade off at all.
That's interesting. Is that incompatibility specific to the Flip 3? I have a Fold 4, and Google Wallet works for me.

> The site should ask for the language used to solve the problem and then use this as semi-scientific data for comparing "time-to-solution" for various languages.

I can't believe any valid causal inference about languages could be drawn from this, because the skill of the individual programmer at solving these types of puzzles (recognizing the patterns, knowing the number theory, etc.) would surely dominate any impact of the language itself.

I suppose you could conclude something along the lines of "newer programmers use Python more often than Haskell", but I doubt there would be many surprises there.
> My team runs lean and the work is complicated

Change of team or of company. There is nothing more stressful than a relatively small team full of very productive developers working on complicated stuff: if you are a normal developer (like me), then that's a hard situation because you have to spend extra hours besides working hours just to keep-up with your team's pace.

Find a place where they do normal stuff (web development?) and in the interview double check the level of your potential teammates.
That's not at all how adtech works. You cannot download all activity between ad supply (website/app/etc) and advertisers and every vendor in the middle onto your device for some joins.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but based on looking this up it seems like the systems reply is fairly convincing a response - Searle's argument seems to be, as others have noted in this thread, kind of at the level of saying the electricity and chemicals don't understand Chinese and then extrapolating it to 'no understanding is present'. How does that not apply to us? Otherwise if that's all he's saying it doesn't seem like a particularly interesting argument, because I'd agree that a chemical doesn't understand Chinese since our understanding isn't generated at the singular chemical or even singular neuron level.

What's your take on this (very rapidly acquired) impression?
I will take your word about java, having never actually worked with it myself!

My understanding with array performance is that if you need to frequently read and write to a large, fixed-length enumerable (or if you can rework your problem as such), then an array of structs is often much faster. It's certainly on my mental list of things to try when dealing with large sets of data in hot loops.
There were a lot of thinly veiled legal threats.
It's a bad idea to depend on the outside for energy and resources in general. Not just on warmongering criminal dictators. Buying US gas for a fortune is far from ideal, for example. Not blaming anyone, obviously any country will look after themselves first. If resource scarcity starts hitting hard, we won't be able to expect external countries to just send us resources as if nothing happened, even if they are free countries and good allies.

And that's without even mentioning that who knows which countries will be free and which will be dictatorships in 20-30 years.
> The first six places will be awarded cash between 4.096€ and 1.024€ each.

I'm insisting it has the meaning that... the entire Wikipedia article you linked uses.

You quoted the beginning of the first paragraph of the History section, but the full paragraph reads:

> The first recorded use of the term spyware occurred on October 16, 1995 in a Usenet post that poked fun at Microsoft's business model. Spyware at first denoted software meant for espionage purposes. However, in early 2000 the founder of Zone Labs, Gregor Freund, used the term in a press release for the ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall. Later in 2000, a parent using ZoneAlarm was alerted to the fact that Reader Rabbit, educational software marketed to children by the Mattel toy company, was surreptitiously sending data back to Mattel. Since then, "spyware" has taken on its present sense.

I wasn't aware of the earlier, truly original meaning - actual espionage. That doesn't change the fact that for the past 20+ years, the common meaning - dare I say, original mainstream one - encompassed every kind of hidden tracking, data collection and exfiltration, almost none of it being part of actual espionage, but rather most of it being in service of targeting ads.

Playing devil’s advocate, I suspect this might not be as bad as it sounds. Just like the previously discussed flaw [1] it starts with logging in to the cloud dashboard. Presumably when you open a stream, it uses your current session to derive the decryption key, and then provide a URL to stream the video (how else would you do this in the browser?). This is a non-guessable URL with a short expiry.

tl;dr you won’t be accessing anyone’s camera feed anytime soon unless you obtain their credentials.

In normal usage, without the web UI, hopefully there is no streaming to the cloud at all. Should be easy to verify by watching network traffic, but this is where one would hope Anker to step in and communicate clearly… why would they not?

>Which papers to accept for publication?

As a refugee from the collapse of Flash myself, about once a year I'll check what's the state of similar tools and be disappointed.

This year the situation is a little better. There's gdevelop, Rive, ct.js, Godot, Construct 3, and Wick Editor. None of them feel as friendly as Flash (except maybe Wick), or as efficient (I just played a small Rive game that made 500+ network requests to load assets). But they come with their upsides, like better game frameworks, better addons, better 3D support, etc.

So I wonder why we're still not seeing small free games. Are the tools not good enough? Packaging is too hard? Lack of good portals, à la Miniclip/Newgrounds/Kongregate? Or has internet culture simply moved away from interactivity to catchy videos?

I did and don’t feel like Rachel’s responses were sufficiently considered because of the prevailing “ugh wall of text tldr” sentiment. She may be partly to blame for that, but people asked for answers and didn’t read them when given! I don’t think TrustCor’s situation is something to joke or gloat about. Someone’s entire business just got ruined because of, if Rachel is to be believed, something wholly unrelated to operation of the CA and arguably entirely out of their control.
Hey, thanks for the comment, you are 100% right, this is just the initial version since we are compatible with Neo4j, so it was a least effort to do it. It is just the initial setup, making it language agnostic will take a bit time. If you peak at the methodology and future part: https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph/tree/master/tests/mgben...
You will see that we have the plan to add more database vendors + make it language-agnostic. We are also keeping track of all comments regarding this, I have opened an issue: https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph/issues/689, there is a language agnostic note in there. If you have any other input, it would be highly appreciated.

Exactly. Not just employers, but also Facebook, TikTok, and whatever new and worse invasive tech that is enabled by the lack of Apple's restrictions.

I agree. And it should be solved. But, those who are asking for less restrictions won't be happy, because what they are looking for is better tracking tools.
Did linear regression begin to work differently in the twenty first century?
Should that always be the case, though? We could try to force a position where 2 separate moves checkmate. Then only 1 (presumably the one that results from capturing the highest valued piece?) would be the engine result.
So facts bad?
Aren't there situations where 2+ moves cause checkmate? Only one can be the top engine move. Or are all of those effectively impossible to reach unless your opponent helps?
