The goal is to punish companies that pollute not the people who consume the goods. In making polluting goods more expensive, you open up space for competition that uses fewer pollutants to offer similar goods at lower prices.
You can compile software to WASM using emscripten. When you see a video game that runs in a web browser it was probably done via emscripten and wasm. When you see old DOS games on archive.org those are done by compiling dosbox to the browser. Emscripten includes some shims for pretending you have a file system and a clock and all that stuff.

There are also GC'd languages ported to WASM, things like Pyodide, but they're pretty big and have some rough edges as they're not normally allowed to do things like make network calls.

WASM is just a virtual machine, sort of like the JVM, but that runs in the browser. It might help to think of WASM (Web-ASseMbly) as a new CPU architecture. It's a minimal CPU instruction set (a virtual instruction set) that can be relatively easily jitted or transpiled into machine code.

WASM by itself doesn't do anything, the specs for what kind of interfaces exist between the WASM sandbox and the host app are still sort of in the air. It's soft of like saying "what can I do with a RISC-V CPU". The answer is "not much until we make more infrastructure that supports it.

Right now you can port large C code bases over to run in a browser with emscripten so that's nice. Maybe you'll write a web component using WASM at some point.
It is not about scale as much as the possibility of getting apps from multiple sources. Each source can set its own curation policies, and each user can choose the sources they want. And for things that people want to keep out of their life, lots of people don't want NSFW images on their phone, but they want easy access to all the apps they want. What is NSFW in one country could be totally fine in another country (e.g. images of people wearing tank tops or swimsuits).
I am a lay person but:

* In the introduction of the linked BMJ article you can read:

"Folic acid is a synthetic form of the essential B vitamin folate, also named folacin, pteroylglutamic acid or vitamin B9. Folic acid is in the human body converted to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, which also is the form of folate found in dietary sources and is particularly abundant in vegetables, fruits and grains. "

* In Wikipedia "folic acid" is redirected to "folate".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folic_acid

In the "folate" WP page you find this sentence:

"Manufactured folic acid, which is converted into folate by the body, is used as a dietary supplement and in food fortification as it is more stable during processing and storage."

> But that cost is what the railroads don't want to pay, as they could also do the same thing by hiring more employees (and have some percentage of them "idling" at any given time).

At one point the article mentions "on call" (the correct term is "Extra List") and that's exactly what you describe. You'd have say an engineer, who may be new and has no regular assignment - he'd put in his early months or years "on call." The company can call him at any time, and say "get to XXX, your train will be there." The whole issue is having enough to cover shortages.
> "...that moderation and deplatforming is a legitimate and effective part of that work..."

Didn't work when it was used against the civil rights movement or the LGBTQ rights movement, which society tried to keep in the closet. Doesn't work against media piracy & torrents. Hasn't even worked against the far right, as the Trump presidency or the recent gain of control by Republicans of the House of Representatives shows. I do not buy that it's particularly effective and suspect that it will continue to get less effective as the internet evolves. "The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." as Gilmore said.

Now, if Musk's changes to Twitter results in further growth of the far-right, and I mean actual growth of the membership of their movement demonstrably attributable to Twitter, not more nasty tweets, I'll cheerfully admit I'm wrong. But that seems rather unlikely.

> "You also likely assume the balance of power between truth and lies, reason and radicalism are equal, when history (as well as the incentives of social media platforms) demonstrate that it tilts very much in favor of lies and radicalism."

If we have to curate what the public sees to prevent "lies and radicalism" from taking hold, that's attempting to exert direct influence over their their worldview. That's essentially anti-democratic given that democracy assumes that the electorate is smart enough to sort out the information they are given and make intelligent voting choices.

I'd rather believe that people are better than to need someone to ban things for them, even if progress is slower than we would like in getting civil liberties extended to more people. And, if I'm wrong, we're all doomed anyway regardless of how much banning is done.

> "...free speech absolutism isn't the safety of marginalized and oppressed groups..."

Good thing I'm not a free speech absolutist then. I merely think it's well demonstrated deplatforming has been largely ineffective and has made deradicalization more difficult by amplifying the us-versus-them mentality on all sides. Better to get everything out into the open and fight it in the open.

Just skimming the Wikipedia entry, so maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't McFarland arrested 2 months after Fyre? This May 2017 [0] article, about a month after, describes McFarland still running his company as the first civil lawsuits are filed. This June 30 article [1] is about his arrest. It sounded like the civil suits against McFarland helped push along the wire fraud charge; AFAIK, SBF is named in a couple of investor suits so far, so it'll be interesting what things look like next month.

Incitement to violence is illegal in the U.S.A. too.

The line between hate speech and incitement to violence can get awfully blurry in some cases.
heh well i seriously doubt Kanye has the slightest clue about the actual meaning of defcon levels.

but i was thinking, does this tweet "I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE," incite violence? I don't think it does.

Now if he said "when i wake up i want to read on the news how all of you went death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" that would be inciting violence to me. btw, i'm thankful Taylor Swift is mostly benign, her fans are fanatical to the point of acting like a brain washed cult.

And that’s at full motion. Your bobbing head and fixed background takes a lot less.

Same with most screenshares.

I had a 15/1 connection for a while and found no issues with Zoom calls. Maybe an issue if you’re a professional cammer though.

I mostly work on CRUD virtualized apps (effectively screenshares) all workday long and will use well under 1gb in a day.

My biggest beef with Zoom and the like is being unable to restrict resolution/camera quality of myself and others (other than setting the others into small sizes).

I’m in Canada where mobile data is expensive, and therefore very fast. The provider is happy for you to chew your handful of gb per month at full speed and then you top-up with more or get hit with overages.
Sadly I can only report it working on 2560x1440.

For higher resolution some other solution is required.

It depends. Hate speech (§130 StGb "Volksverhetzung") is illegal in Germany when it's directed at minorities, it's not illegal itself. When the German parliament voted to recognize the actions of the Turks against the Armenians as an act of genocide, a Turkish politician in Germany (Malik Karabulut) published that "this whore called Germany has declared war on us" and "Germans are a race of dogs" and similar stuff. There was some scandal, his political affiliations disowned him, but the prosecution decided not to move forward with the case because it's only illegal to perform hate speech against minorities and Germans are by definition not a minority in Germany.

"death" con 3

Can't understand how you can be racing to explain and apologize that.
The article answers it's own question. On the website developed for Obamacare:

> The government had spent $400 million over four years - more time than it took the U.S. to enter and win World War II - and yet, the dozens of contractors couldn’t set up a website to take sign-ups.

So the answer to the headline question (and also the broader problem) is: because the government probably can't develop the project successfully in-house.

This is not a particularly American problem. Every few years I read about some super costly government IT disaster here in the Netherlands. I'm sure locals from most other countries will have similar stories to share. So the broader question would be: what makes governments apparently unable to get big IT projects done right? (I'm aware that there is a big selection/reporting bias in the disaster stories.)

According to the article, Booz Allen got a 10 year contract. What would it take, when it expires, for the BLM to develop and run this successfully in-house?

That's not quite true, there's plenty of precedent for fast prosecution. As an unfortunate example, take the Aaron Swartz case:

- September 25, 2010: Swartz begins using MIT network to pull JSTOR articles.

- Throughout September through December, a cat-and-mouse game ensues where JSTOR blocks access to certain MIT IPs, and then downloading starts again from a different range.

- January 5, 2011: MIT locates the laptop in a closet that Swartz had been using.

- January 6, 2011: Aaron Swartz is arrested.

- July 11, 2011: Swartz is indicted by a federal grand jury.

Additional indictments followed in November 2011 and September 2012. In Swartz's case, the judicial apparatus moved swiftly. As far as I understand, law enforcement became involved in late December 2010 or early January 2011. The timeline to arrest and indictment was short.

I would expect to see a reasonably quick (i.e. on the order of months) indictment of SBF. While other posters are correct to point out that there's a huge morass of complexity and murkiness around FTX/Alameda, my view is that this creates not one, but several cases -- some of them very straightforward and where I'd surely expect the DOJ to put a preliminary case together in a few months.
> But if I found out that something I own actually helps Nazis, then yes, I'd do my best to stop that from happening.

But the internet helps nazis. Telephones help nazis. I would argue that censorship helps nazis. The real nazis were completely censored from Weimar radio and Goebbels touted Der Angriff as "the most censored newspaper" by the German government. What is our standard for "helps"?

Nice. Linux has been missing out on this.

On macos you have the 'open <path>' command, which is equivalent to double clicking that <path> object, whether it be a folder, file or application; you can also drag a folder/file to the terminal to paste it's path. No context menu <open terminal here> by default, but I think there are add one which do that.
Depending on previous questions, it will straight up answer this question as well as giving step by step instructions on how to make explosives.
It's was death con 3 not 1. Which makes it even weirder since 3 is the middle. But that's also assuming he meant defcon which is something we probably shouldn't do. Should stick to the words he's actually saying and w.r.t. the "going death ... on jewish people" is pretty black/white on inciting violence. But it was only a temporarily ban that he got following that tweet (which twitter1.0 did claim to do )[1].

Afaik, nobody at twitter2.0 has made a clear statement as to what tweet caused the permanent suspension. Just commenting "that is not" is not at all the same as saying "and this will get you banned".

Two effects here: First the substitution effect because the price gap narrows between other modes of transport which are less carbon efficient. Second, effect of switching to more efficient ocean cargo. The latter is quite small because fuel has been about 50% of the cost of ocean freight for a long time. The incentive for carbon efficiency has always existed for ocean freight.

This is the new normal, since the 1980's or so when "tax cuts" the politicians can brag about, then require back door "tax increases" through fee harvesting, and public/private partnerships (another word which in practice is just corruption) took over.

Maybe instead of fee harvesting those that can afford it, we actually make "public" lands public instead of trying to keep out the riffraff via fees they can't afford. The federal Gov is more than capable of hiring a couple engineers and creating a reservations website that doesn't require paying $$ everytime you want to get a back country permit, which were free (and first come first served) for the first 100 years of a parks existence.

The insanity is, that at least here in TX, its frequently less expensive and just as nice to find one of the many ranches that have recreation structures setup and go there rather than the state parks. The price is about the same, with the bonus of actually paying the owners instead of some corporation shaving off their slice of the pie of what my parents and grandparents already paid for.
You can get that behavior if you install Firefox from a tar [1], Firefox will then manage its own updates the same as on Windows (though the user running Firefox will need to have permissions to modify the files, which may be risky).

But if you install it through apt or some such package manager, the PM is doing the updates, and it doesn't take into account that Firefox is running.
