I wonder: if you know this, and expect it will happen, is that kind of company still a good investment?

It could be that Imgur has already more than paid back its acquisition price to MediaLab[0] and now they are willing to risk killing it in order to not have the NSFW hassle with their banks.

Or not, but it seems like this happens enough that the money people should understand it by now.

I can’t find any indication this was deemed defamatory in a court of law until this ruling. Did I miss it?

My whole point is that Google has to remove anything the moment somebody asks, because if it is later determined to be defamatory by a court, they’ll be liable. That appears to be what happened here, unless I missed something.
Russia premieres first feature film shot in space
ah, interesting - similar approach it seems...
I've said for a long time that it's much easier to discredit an argument by ^^^ than it is to be persuasive.

My own turn to the right came from discomfort with the IFLScience and NowThis set
This is about the .net TLD and has nothing to do with .NET the framework.

It doesn't take long to realize this, it's even outright obvious considering ICANN is involved, but still... It seems weird to me that they would write .NET and .COM rather than .net and .com even if DNS is case-insensitive.
I wonder if a lot of the posters defending Google here cheered for Dominion to stick it to Fox News. Or vice versa.
It never stops! All the crypto-scam videos that show up during all the live streams for SpaceX launches, Telsa events, etc... is just unbelievable.

With all of Google's AI/ML resources, you would think they could do something about it.
Like the GoF design patterns, knowing about state machines is important, but whether or not you should use them in their "pure" form depends on the problem at hand.

State machine make for some the least readable code I have written and an ad-hoc solution could have been more appropriate. The difficulties I have with state machines is, as usual, side effects. That is, implementing the state transition logic is usually straightforward, but more often than not, there is something you want to do between these states, typically I/O. In a pure framework, it manifests as a hidden, extra state, for witch the "right" thing to do is to make it explicit, and you may end up with a monster state and transitions all over the place. I have written a few of these monsters, and while I think it is partly the result of inherent complexity, I must say it is not the code I am the most proud of.

In other situations, state machines were a perfect match, but like everything else, just because the problem can be modeled with a state machine doesn't mean it should.
I didn't make any claims about the plaintiff's state of mind. For the record I think the plaintiff acted reasonably and in good faith in seeking a remedy against Google based on what I know about the case.
Operating system standardization have killed this kind of creative interface

Clearly there is a yearning among users — even technical users — for more creative, colorful, and interesting interfaces.

That's why we have multiple variations on sixels, dozens of libraries for drawing charts in the command line, hundreds of colors were added to terminals, and thousands of tutorials for customizing command prompts.
Pretty sure that is happening too. You might even be an unwitting participant right now.

Bet Manson type murders will happen as well. Race riots. A Kennedy type young president will show up and get assassinated. There will be a new space race, this time with China. AI Beatles-type mega band will emerge. A crowdsourced Woodstock some place. Sit ins, sleep ins. People on TV growing out their hair.

Time is a flat circle man. History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
The word consent can be used in many contexts, not only sexual. I see nothing odd about it.

Consensus is a different meaning. Going by how odd "a consensus" sounds I would simply assume the writer mixed both or misremembered, and I do not read further intent. Just my opinion.

Joke's on Huawei... the drives will all fail early. Seagate is just fighting for freedom by collapsing Huawei with their terrible drives.
Very cool. Only wish we could switch from meters to feet the same way we can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
> Are there well-known patterns to handle such situations?

I'm not familiar with algorithmic trading so may be way off, but if I understand your problem correctly, it sounds like you need what is called parallel states: state machine where a "state" is in itself a state machine. The trick here is that transition of one "leg" can be transition trigger for another leg. In your example you would have 4 states: "Executing trade leg A/B" and "Executing balancing trade". Suppose trade A fills first (a complex machine in itself), it triggers leg B to terminate and transition to balancing trade state while leg A would transition to completion state.
When is the first time a judge made a ruling on whether this was defamatory?
I used to work for Huawei's storage division. When the sanctions hit, the company could no longer buy hard disks from American and Japanese companies. And there weren't any Chinese manufacturers either. Flash storage however was easy to procure. So, the product roadmap was thrown away and we pivoted to All-Flash storage.
Only their mail product was vaguely good, but became very outdated as the years went on. I liked Proton VPN but ultimately ditched the whole in favour of better value, better UX, more features.

> But please tell me again how hard it is to comply with the GDPR

I like Mullvad (and been a paying customer on-and-off for years), but perhaps it's easier to comply with GDPR when your whole business is essentially not storing data?

Even if you are the most privacy conscious company ever, there is probably legitimate need storing more data than Mullvad in almost any other B2C scenario.

(Although it would be exciting buying e.g a TV online by sending cash in an envelope and writing the shipping address inside, the novelty probably wears of once the postal service looses your package and you can't do anything about it. Or when you loose your paper note with the ASCII armored PGP proof-of-purchase and you can't do a warranty claim)
Just guessing but the amount of space available for the engines is probably the key limiting factor.

The engines on the existing A380s will be replaced multiple times during their lifetimes and certainly those replacement engines will have some efficiency improvements. But I doubt it's possible to change the efficiency significantly without changing the diameter and or length of the engines. And that seems pretty unlikely given how many things you'd have to change and how much it would cost to re-certify, etc.

There's nothing "AI specific" in this, it's just shady journalists making up stuff to lure readers.
My understanding is the article says it’s an interview with him, but it’s not an interview with him…

My partners mother was depressed and shut in for years. She had been through every process, medical and otherwise, to try and find an escape hatch, window, anything.

She eventually was accepted into a limited program in Victoria, BC for ketamine treatments. 3 large doses rendering intense trips that lasted the course of hours in a clinic under the supervision of doctors and therapists. After the first session she was fundamentally changed. After the third she looked back wondering how she ever could have felt so low.

It’s not a silver bullet, she required some therapeutic work afterward and may do another session in the future. But it still stands that the person she is today (travelling, seeing friends, seeing family, etc) is radically different and restored compared to just a few years ago. She full heartedly credits those sessions, but also doesn’t feel a strong need to return-just to get on with life while she’s still in possession of her functioning body.
I like how all these things emphasize how they're professional tools while having user interfaces would not look out of place in a video game.
You may want Google to not be responsible for censoring the internet, and you might not like a Canadian court telling what Google to do on google.ca, but this is what Google has to say:

Quoting:

> For many issues, such as privacy or defamation, our legal obligations may vary country by country, as different jurisdictions have come to different conclusions about how to deal with these complex topics.

Made Chrome-extension that gives answer-suggestions for WhatsApp Web
Works by sending your last 10 whatsapp chat messages to ChatGPT.

In the settings you can configure it to automatically give a new suggestion when a new message comes in. I've tried to make it such that the UX is optimal: you get the suggestions, but they don't get in your way. You can either use them as inspiration or copy them straight into your send field, edit them and send.
This project was also an experiment, using ChatGPT to dive into unknown coding territory for me. It's quite amazing at that!

Buckingham Palace would probably more valuable as a hotel.
Looking through a PDF I found I'm pretty sure the words "expanse" and "awaits" are not in there, but it's pretty good. Especially using "musico-logical", that is from the book and probably not something it would use in many other contexts.
They changed the behavior a number of years back.

It used to be you just put what file extension you wanted in the save dialog and gimp would save the that file format. Honestly I likes it, I always thought it was one of saner ways to handle a complex subject.

However. the gimp native format is .xcf xcf is the only format that will save all of gimps internal data. due to the ease of loosing data it was decided to split the save system into two parts "save" only saves in xcf format, all other formats are exported.

so no, no longer can you just work on a png, gimp will nag you to save to xcf every time, I understand the change but I can't help but think that we lost something along the way. something about tools that stay out of your way and so what you want of them.

I wonder how much imposter syndrome one would have to go through to finally feel comfortable after releasing so many videos, with the potential scrutiny of more academic/formal Linux communities.
But they always do make you do it eventually, don't they? Govt never gets smaller. Only bigger. They never get rid of laws, only add new ones. Govt never wants less power, only more.
No, it's always being informed of all the opposite sides of every issue, so you need something else to support censoring a specific side
A distinction should be made here, you’re not a hard drive which an store perfect copies of information. So it’s not the same thing.
When tunneling through a VPN ideally thousands of users will share the same exit IP. So even if all your apps "phone home" identifiable information there is no way to prove that whatever traffic "the law" is trying to pin you on actually originates from your machine.

Unless of course if the VPN keeps detailed traffic logs which is why that’s generally frowned upon.
With past experience with law enforcement, if they don't get what they want, they will continue to harass and needle and try to chip away at what they can until they get some semblance of what they wanted.

Whether he's a hypocrite, he's still right.
My friend has been one of the clinicians on the MAPS trials in Boston. He says it's abundantly clear that people are able to have powerful internal experiences of emotional opening, fear-reduction, release of bodily tension, and self-compassion and new understanding. And amazingly he says that these experiences are somewhat durable — people end up making all sorts of positive changes in their lives after these sessions (like giving up substances of abuse or feeling able to go off medication). And all of this has been backed up by the data. Any specifics you're looking for?
> Russia already has been a hostile nation for more than a decade and will try to do as much damage as it can without incurring additional retaliation anyway. Nothing changes here.

Not quite, since there are taboos that even the Kremlin has been afraid to break so far. Such as poisoning diplomats, deploying weapons to space, messing with subsea cables, etc...

But theoretically they have less to lose than the U.S. because they have less diplomats, have less space assets, and so on. So one day the decision makers may be tempted to get one back.
“blinding was not formally assessed during the study”
Colloquial speed yup. Not scientific speed which is m/s

Road distance is miles, running its metres. Except for the marathon. Beer is pints, my milk is litres but you can get pints. The lamb in the fridge for the weekend is 2.3kg, I’m 5’11 and way a little over 14 stone as I’m far, probably because of the 200g of Brie I am thinking about eating tonight. I was looking at a floor plan the other day, the room was 6.5m x 3.8m
I can't disavow them because it always cycles back to "You're conveniently hiding the violent protesters!" or "You're denying the protesters as a whole were violent!" I'm not allowed to say "I'm non-violent and don't support violent protest", instead I am supposed to say "Because some some of those protesting discrimination against my people turned violent, I repudiate their cause and am obligated to support discrimination against my people".
Please point me to a cheaper class with similar course objectives and I shall reconsider pricing :)
Except there are pretty strong indications of medical benefits to MDMA and psilocybin in therapy for things like PTSD and treatment resistant depression. Studies are frustratingly limited because of the extreme scheduling of the drugs that lasted for decades.

I think your characterization is a straw man. Nobody is arguing that Google shouldn't comply with court decisions. The question is what should happen when an individual comes to Google with a complaint, before they have sought any legal verdict. How is Google supposed to decide whether a claim is true or false? Even if it were their responsibility to determine what counts as defamation, how would we prevent people abusing that system to take down legitimate content they don't like? Do we want tech companies making decisions like this independently of the legal system?
Proton Pass utilizes end-to-end encryption, so not even Proton can decrypt user data, and there have been hundreds of court cases that have proven that Proton's encryption cannot be bypassed by court orders.

Proton like all law abiding companies must follow court orders. But unlike most companies, Proton actually fights in court and won a legal victory against the Swiss government after the case in question, overturning an earlier ruling that email providers can be classified as telecommunications providers.

Given the reputation of MDMA, I wonder if this could also help with certain types of sexual dysfunction, such as unwanted low libido.

Meh. These probably ended up in enterprise storage appliances like OceanStor. From what I remember the software stack did a pretty reasonable job of dealing with disk failures.
That’s incredibly generous.

The VPN industry is deserving of its bad reputation. Collecting user data in clear contravention of their TOS. Using hacked boxes as VPN endpoints to get people onto residential IP ranges. And whatever else.

I’m very confident in my completely baseless assertion that most people that use a “public” VPN are either bypassing geographical restrictions on a streaming service, or doing something outright shady.

There’s a reason that it’s common for VPN providers to take cash and cryptocurrency, as this one does. It does precisely zilch to thwart the sort of tracking that affects the vast vast vast majority of Internet users.

The VPN industry isn’t being propped up by nerds indulging their crypto libertarian / anarchism fetish but are just spending their time reading Hacker News (with JS off, obviously). There just aren’t enough of them.

If a tether breaks high up, then only a few kilometers of the tether hit the ground. Anything higher burns up on the way down (since it is very thin, so surface plasma heating doesn't take long to destroy it)
Briefly, law requires establishing probable cause, that _one_ specific person has done specific things, to underwrite search warrant. VPN IPs are shared between users, meaning any one of the ~X00 users sharing a single ip could be doing any number of things at the same time.
Minecraft itself is a small game. It has very little depth nor complexity.
No in the US libraries and bookstores are considered "distributors" so they have no obligation to actively review all of their content like "publishers" have, but when given notice they are still obligated to remove any content which violates the law, including defamatory content.
More precisely the percentage was 3.6, which is not great, but not terrible. I've been told it's the equivalent of a few pay raises.
> Or should Google take proactive measures to prevent harm

Meaning, should Google babysit people with occasional poor judgement? After all, if people always acted rationally with a clear head information would be completely innocuous. But, indeed, there will always be some crazies out there.

In a similar vein, does a hammer manufacturer have the responsibility to babysit the occasional person who will use a hammer to bludgeon another to death? I say no. The is no intent by the manufacturer to see bludgeoning carried out. If the user of a tool uses poor judgement, that's on them.

We don't go after the Ford Motor Company every time someone gets a speeding ticket while driving a Ford, so what is special about Google?
'Ask'ing isn't at issue here. The question is whether the library should bear any liability if it declines to act as a fact checker for every book on its shelves.

In the case where you got your preference you'd mostly see controversial books disappear from the shelves. The business they bring wouldn't be worth a lawsuit.

What part is “unconstitutional”? Informing? Asking? Removing?
I don't have a dog in this matter, but I read through their privacy policy. The data they might have or have access to is if you pay with anything other than cash. That data they are saying lies with the payment processor. They link their no logging user activity policy which cover that further. But, at the end of the day it's like you said, it comes down to trust if we are not able to / not going to verify.
Reality would intervene, it's very hard to extract the money outside of a thought experiment
Sounds similar to crypto-talk: "but you don't understand, it's based on blockchain". It doesn't matter what technology is used, but what action is done.
I take valafaxine / effexor for depression and I remember for the first week or so getting slightly high like as if I'd taken a low dosage of E which was my drug of choice (I had a highly enjoyable albeit mistaken early 20s). I often wonder if there a correlation between my predilection for MDMA and my success with venlafaxine (which saved my life).

On a political note it is perverse how alcohol which often renders people violent and risk taking is celebrated, whilst a substance that causes one to dance, hug and spends hours discussing and friendly debating Marxist political theory is distained.
He said the same for Falcon Heavy
Take it a step further. If your DNS is seized, your site is still accessible as it would still be on the internet. It's pretty similar to deleting a link to your site as only previous users with the IP could access it, much the same like users navigating directly to microsoft.com if Google removed all links in search.

Is DNS seizure censorship? I'm not equating the two, but I want to understand your view that deleting or restricting information is not censorship.
