There's a mountain of evidence that companies (which by the way, often includes employee who hold equity in the companies they work) are incentivized towards increased productivity but not hours worked. That so many companies are now offering "unlimited vacation", "wellness days", and "no work Fridays" is indictive of this.

One can find fulfillment in hard work and going the extra mile without that expectation from the employer and without expectation of a tangential reward. There is often intrinsic value in hard work that can be rewarding in and of itself.

There have been times in my life where I stayed late or worked weekends on my own accord because I felt the situation warranted it. I wasn't asked to do it and I didn't get paid extra, but I felt good doing it and in the long-run, the short-term sacrifice yield wonderful long-term gains.

Hopefully ones requiring this kind of transparency regarding moderation actions on platforms of sufficiently large size. A lot of concerns about bias would go away if platforms had to give proper reasoning/justification for moderation actions in more definite terms than the vague statements we're used to. It might be a bit much to expect that for every moderation action, so maybe something that balances the required detail against the visibility of the action.

For example, banning spambots should basically only need overall statistics on the bans, whereas bans/suspensions of news or public figures should require detailed insight into what happened. As a side effect it might force platforms to have some insight into automated bans instead of relying on people managing to stir up enough of a ruckus on another platform to get in touch with a human.

Deseret News isn't the source, their article just paraphrases from other sources (60 Minutes, Wall Street Journal, BBC).

This seems like a kind of question where people are going to come to different conclusions based on what echo chamber they are part of (because news of different instances of policy enforcement are going to be promoted by different groups). You could try to get a handle on the objective truth through a quantitative analysis. Otherwise, we’re all just claiming our priors are obviously the truth.
Webpass is really only offered in largeish residential buildings as far as I'm aware (I have webpass service, though my condo building only has 90 units so it's not particularly large, and I suspect most people are with Xfinity anyway...).

1. This is just basic orbital mechanics. Multiple missiles are launched from different locations at different targets. The launches are not fully simultaneous. Each kill vehicle must be at the right place at the right time to intercept its target. If you launch all kill vehicles from the same location at the same time, the differences between the required velocity vectors are easily several km/s.

2. The midcourse phase typically takes ~20 minutes. You can't predict the trajectory accurately during the boost phase, and you have the wrong kind of missile for intercepting the target during the terminal phase. If your boost phase is 9 minutes instead of 4 minutes, you have 11 minutes instead of 16 minutes for political and tactical decisionmaking.

3. What is the price of a fully disposable Starship? How many of them do you need to have one ready to launch at any time? Because if you have them on standby, you can't use them for any other purpose, and they are effectively disposable.
OBD2 / OBDII refers to generic powertrain diagnostics (engine, emissions, etc) for all vehicles. Plenty of dongles for that. But I mean something that emulates the tool a dealership would have for specific makes of vehicle, which goes far beyond just the engine, extending into every module, possibly like what you found. Although usually it would be for a family of makes, not just a family of models.

For VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat the popular ones are VCDS and OBDeleven (the name of the latter being a play on OBDII, confusingly, being that I am trying to differentiate actual OBDII... ugh).

I'd expect somewhat typical time of day use patterns on Starlink as a whole [1], but you're probably seeing variable congestion/capacity because the satellites are in motion and you'll have varience in which satellites are in view and how many other users are using the same satellite as you, as well as how many users are connected through the same ground station as you. I'd bet there are some really interesting network graphs.

Thanks for asking.

I'll skip the details and say that I finally had the time to work through a lot of trauma from my childhood, as well as having enough time away from being required to work that I really was able to hone in on what I am good at and passionate about.
I can't speak for everyone who flagged it, but I routinely flag Twitter threads on nontechnical topics because in my experience they're almost always a vector for shoddily sourced news that confirms the readers' biases. Matt Taibbi in particular is someone who I personally find trustworthy enough to tell a story like this. But if I hadn't clicked into this thread already convinced that the broad outline of his story was true, I'd be asking a lot of questions about where Taibbi got his information from and how he knows it wasn't a selective leak to misrepresent the discussions.
I've been to just about every national park in the lower 48. Here's some of the less-well-known ones:

Great Basin has a good hike to the peak, a cave system with guided tours, a nice (summertime) campground, and hiking trails to a really impressive arch.

Mt Lassen has a bunch of hikes, geothermal activity, lakes for swimming, a bunch of campgrounds, and some low-frills cabins.

Arches is always way busier than Canyonlands, but there's also a ton of non-NP features around Moab that are even less trafficked. Natural Bridges National Monument is also great. The Notom-Bullfrom road in Capitol Reef is a beautiful drive, and the campground out there is no-amenity, low-traffic.

Sand Dunes, in Colorado, is super cool, with hundred-foot-high sand dunes, but probably only 1-2 days worth of stuff to do in the park itself.

But if you want beautiful scenery without a lot of people, skip the national parks and look for the national forests. (Or sites in the National Park System that aren't National Parks, like National Monuments etc).
You nailed it...

Dig deeper and the story only gets more interesting.
Was he not a US Senator?
I suppose if you wanted to go whole hog, you could take a similar approach to what Australian law mandates for cigarette packaging: set the background to unpleasant shit brown and have images of the corpses of people involved in texting and driving accidents and social media provoked suicides, with warnings in huge white letters like "DEVICE OVERUSE CAN KILL" or something.
> Twitter and the US government collude

I see everyone saying this while ignoring the timeline. This happened before the 2020 elections. Biden was not president back then.
That's an odd take on US history-- it certainly wasn't all roses before the 70s, what with political sides getting people blacklisted, killed, or even starting a civil war.
Upscayl vs. Upscaler: Real-ESRGAN is getting native Linux apps
This is a good point!

The wording probably matters too. The Biden team asked Twitter to "review" certain tweets instead of "remove" certain tweets. So technically they're not suppressing speech explicitly but implicitly we (and twitter employees) all know what they mean by "review".
The stickers are functional. When you're in some all-day peer-coding-in-a-conference room thing, and all lock and suspend laptops to go to lunch, it makes it much easier to tell which of the ten identical laptops is yours when you come back.

Edit: See also why getting the same black rolling suitcases as everyone else doesn't make sense.
I would love to see DECT hacking on Yealink & Grandstream hardware to use these handsets with alternative basestations.

DECT is much more durable and long range than WiFi for real time communication, I only wish fault conditions (battery failure, cordless handset crashes) were more debuggable or logged an error when they occured.
I feel like that's nitpicking, when the company's reputation is obviously a business issue.
No! And if it was, the party with standing to sue would be Twitter themselves, who has not said they're doing this.
I'll recommend Pop_OS as well, but it might be overkill.

It depends on what is meant by "family computer" but don't underestimate the usefulness of a cheap chromebook as well. My wife uses hers exclusively, since using the internet is pretty much the only thing she actually uses a computer for.
Did you know the Supreme Court axed a number of media ownership rules?
Right? I was starting to think I missed a big chunk of that story.
The Biden Team had the entire DNC behind them, which also means a vast majority of sitting Democrats. I'm confused by the effort to separate Biden's election team from the appendages of the government that were aligned by party and committee.

Q: Write a modern retelling of the Book of Job where, instead of taking his wealth, God torments Job by making him use DNSSEC. Try to resemble the original KJV language.

A: In the land of Uz there lived a man named Job, who was blameless and upright, and feared God and turned away from evil. And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil."

But Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job fear God for no reason? Have you not made a secure DNS zone for him, and blessed the work of his hands, and made his DNS servers highly available? But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face."

And the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job by making him use DNSSEC.

Job's DNS servers began to fail, and he struggled to keep his domain names secure. He spent long hours configuring his DNS settings and implementing DNSSEC, but still his servers were not able to properly verify the authenticity of his DNS records.

And Job's friends came to him, and they said, "Job, why do you not curse God and die? For your DNS servers are failing, and your domain names are no longer secure. Surely this is the hand of God against you."

But Job answered them, "You are all wrong. It is not the hand of God that afflicts me, but the hand of Satan. I will continue to fear God and turn away from evil, and I will trust in his mercy and grace, even though I am tormented by the use of DNSSEC."

And in the end, the Lord restored Job's DNS servers and made them secure once again, and he blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And Job lived to see many more days of peace and prosperity.

That's not even remotely news. This came out years ago. Still, your characterization is a bit ridiculous.
Immigration in ORD has the same voluntary photo. Just opt out and the person looks at passport for your photo.
At that point, we are just hijacking the libertarian party and turning it into something it isn't, which its adherents today would oppose.

Most of the disenchanted voters from the Democratic/Republican parties can agree on policies that the libertarians abhor. For example, many of us would support foreign aid to Ukraine, but the LP takes an isolationist stance.
It’s “pyu-ter”, like comPUTER! Puter dot com! Well done
What, your mom buy you a puter for Christmas?
You literally described a use case for tagging in your message when you said “find a photo”
Agreed, but that would require acting parties within Twitter to claim they were coerced or forced to act. Knowing who the acting parties were, that's highly unlikely. So I don't think the counter-argument holds much water.
Of course. Cryptocurrency, NFT, Blockchain, Web3 and all associated things are scams.

Yea for real. I’m sure there’s tons of reasons why it took so long, there’s gotta be some devil in the details. Maybe the standards compliance, complexity of the code base, something something “ecosystem”, all the above…

Feels like a similar situation to CJS/ESM, which is still a headache in Node regardless of its support

> but this authoritarian suppression of speech and ideas has just pushed me away from that side completely

So as a moderate you prefer DeSantis approach to Disney, his forbidding of speech in schools, etc.? He's not passing literal anti press and anti speech laws to piss off the MAGA base.

It's remarkable to me he so badly wanted props for punishing Disney for exercising free speech he forgot he's supposed to be pro business and anti big government regulation.

Suppression of speech has to push you away from far left and far right, so that should cancel out. Then, if you're really prefering all the other policies as you say, you could vote center left ...

Or -- vote Forward:

"Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's dysfunctional two-party system."

"The new party, called Forward and whose creation was first reported by Reuters, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. They hope the party will become a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties that dominate U.S. politics, founding members told Reuters."

> Martin Shkreli's MSBM collapsed by 2012; he wasn't indicted until 2015.

This doesn't seem like a good example. The way I understood the story, Shkreli ran an effort that collapsed. Then, he ran another effort that was very successful. Then, he took money from the successful effort and used it to pay back everyone who invested in the flop.

By that accounting, it doesn't really matter when the flop collapsed, because at that point he hadn't done anything wrong.
I love how they make it sound like Node/v8 gets faster every release. That's not the always the case, remember to benchmark! :p

Nope. He was a private citizen at this point in time.
This is a really good point re: National Monuments and Forests. I also found just driving the Pacific Coast highway north of LA county as far north as you can go a different but similarly spectacular experience to many of the parks, with good trailheads and stopping points at various state parks along the way. Obviously a much larger driving commitment, though.
He left the Senate in 2009 when he became vice president. He left the VP office in 2016 after Obama's second term ended. He was private citizen when this was happening. Powerful person? Sure. An agent of the government? No.
I believe webpass is based on line of sight wireless. And they connect a whole buildings with one shared radio package.

Remote areas often don't have lots of tall buildings with many inhabitants and line of sight above the treeline. I know my semi-rural area is full of trees and hills and line of sight wireless would really only have potential for people with waterfront, and realistically, only for people with waterfront and a view towards the nearby city.
If I understand you correctly, your argument asserts bad faith- that the people involved will lie. So I don't think your counter-counter-argument holds much water, either. And I'm not sure you're even strictly correct- having the employees testify against the argument would hurt, but I could still see Twitter being able to prove they were coerced, or at least try.
I think the gist of your response is that you think the standard should be “first prove it’s retained on dishes” before you remove a known harmful ingredient. I will reiterate that I disagree with this: the well-funded industry deploying the toxic ingredient should be responsible for proving that the toxic ingredient is washed clean. I feel this way for three reasons: (1) the industry chose the ingredient and thus should bear the burden of proving it’s safe, (2) the industry has more resources, (3) if this ingredient does prove dangerous, industry might select a new ingredient that is equally dangerous (and hence see point 1.) I don’t feel like your post provided me with much of a reason to change my opinion on this.

As far as MSG goes I’m not sure what that has to do with this issue. Clearly it would have been better if MSG had been well-studied early on, before concerns about it spread widely. This seems like an argument for investing in studies early. But even aside from that: this is not MSG. It’s a toxic ingredient that may or may not evaporate.

The thought that government regulation would help this situation is odd to me, especially since the author brought up phone networks. The ATT monopoly in the USA was created by government for support of the war effort, so that’s a poor example of a need for more regulation. With social networks, regulation will only serve to further centralization, profit, and control. He who has the most money for lobbying will win the power to bend regulation to his whim. In this case, that money will be in the hands of big tech, and decidedly not in the hands of the public. The USA’s government is not a benevolent force for food in the world. The USA is not a democracy. The USA is an oligarchy, and it is increasingly becoming a feudal oligarchy since the oligarchs have pulled the ladder up behind themselves in seemingly every industry, and they’ve used government power to do so. The more money is thrown at something the more of that something results.

If you want to really change things, I’m with you, but you need a mass movement by the people and not a governmental intervention.
Reminder to those down voting the above comment - George Floyd was killed over $20
Thanks for breaking it down!

It seems like this was a necessity to allow for a larger range of representable colours in a single byte. Is this system largely a carry over from more constrained hardware days, or is it still appropriate for modern hardware? Like, we could represent colors with a few more bytes and toss out the gamma encoding to get back to the same level of control. Or am I overlooking more fundamental reasons why this is a good abstraction?
Joe Biden wasn’t “the government” yet, look at the date. I wish we knew what these tweets actually were. If it was suppressing a news story, that’s bad. If it’s asking for death threats to be removed, that’s not bad.

(Matt himself acknowledges that both parties had tweets taken down, his evidence for bias is apparently that Twitter employees donated more to democrats https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598828932395978752?s=46&...)

Surely Twitter still has the data in an archive somewhere, but it’s not clear from the thread that Matt knows what the content of these tweets was.
No, hasn't been since he was elected to VP in 2008.
Point was race to the bottom, not "bad consequences"
Most of their big advertisers have jumped ship as well, their revenue will have cratered. Of course as a private company they won't need to disclose by how much, but engineers can't be paid with likes and retweets.
But your point is the point as to why it’s not hubris! they weren’t trying to censor anything, they were just trying to follow their own moderation policies. This I think is why the censorship story is such a non issue, because Twitter is not an exclusive source of this information.
If you let 5-10% of people in randomly, that means that 5-10% of people that would have earned their way in, won’t get in. Sucks to be them I guess.

Also, allowing people that don’t put in the effort or just aren’t smart enough into a high-expectations environment sounds like a recipe for disaster. Take somebody that could have potentially struggled, but gotten a degree from a regular state university and turn them into someone that fails out of an Ivy League isn’t exactly helpful.

Sure, some WILL succeed, but my guess is more won’t.
Interesting point!

The white house in this case was the Trump white house so it could have been received positively by the media that twitter is standing up to Trump by suing.

Could you elaborate on why you dont think it would be a free speech violation? Is internet communication not considered speech?
Not even close. As an example, waiting for my consoles to update games and losing half my hour of free gaming time is terrible - and I have 10G wired around my house to a 1G Comcast connection.
The comparison is hard workers vs less hard workers, and the former causing a race to the bottom. Mind telling me why the comparison is stupid?
You've misunderstood. I don't believe the people who acted felt they were being coerced - I believe they felt they were doing the right thing and were happy to oblige.
