> We have also enriched the upstream community. AlmaLinux community members have submitted PRs to projects such as RPM, AWX, and VirtualBox. Our community has sent over 50 PRs to GlusterFS and also extended openQA. A Red Hat employee even thanked us for enabling Fedora tests to run on ELN and RHEL. An AlmaLinux contributor (who was formerly an ArchLinux user) was so fired up by our community that he now maintains over 600 Fedora and Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) packages, including some widely-used ones like certbot, brotli, iperf3, imapsync, and countless Python libraries, many of them as the primary contributor maintaining them for the greater Fedora and Enterprise Linux ecosystem. EPEL is tremendously important to both Red Hat and RHEL users.

I wasn't aware of this. So it's looks like RH/IBM argument that they don't contribute back is bullsh*t.
This doesn't make sense. If I've blocked ads I won't see them regardless how obnoxious you make them.
what we need is a really good app for this magazine. As an early adapter I am passed the era of social media and really hoping/looking for an alternative. Infinite scrolling that is not stupid and/or negative.

They don't have to use it except as collateral for loans.
Compare it with TV though, which is what youtube is; nobody blocked ads because they couldn't, there was no escaping them unless you physically exit the room. In my country that worked, because ads were neat 5 minute blocks every 15 odd minutes, but in the US it seems every few minutes there's an ad interrupting - but they're too short to tune out / do something else. The news channels are even worse, where the energy levels of the ads overlap with the news so there's less of a clear boundary between the two.

Re: web ads, they were bad, but then Google came in and showed that they can be non-disruptive as well, their plain text ads took over the online ad market. For a while anyway.
On the FP3, you need to accept the Google ToU to unlock the bootloader (confirmed with FP's support), but you don't need an account.

Well yeah, but consider that Apple has complete control over both systems. I also bought into the ‘iPad for days full of meetings’ idea and found that if I can’t reliably cmd-tab and browse through some files in a non-iCloud folder the whole experience is garbage. The fact that they bolted on some MacOS features afterwards only makes it all the more ludicrous that they didn’t go for parity from the moment they started with those shitty plastic keyboards.
I'm not sure but if you look at maps of both floods it seems that weather pattern in 1964 was a lot further north than the 1862 flood. Also, the wiki article for 1862 says that that was an El Nino year.

The debts are huge, but forgiving them is not the answer. If the debt is so toxic, why is the US government still creating new loans that are just as big or even larger? And why are the colleges still forcing their students into the same debt?

The right solution would be to halt the lending entirely.

Just a small personal anecdote from another country with tight restrictions:

When I rented a furnished apartment in Saigon back in 2008, there was an ethernet cable on the table and a piece of paper in English that said "Do not visit websites of anti-government propaganda, or pornography, or news such as the New York Times."

Naturally, as the police held my passport for the entire year I was in Vietnam, I was cautious. But after a few days, I just went ahead and openly browsed the NYT for a few minutes. My internet was shut off for about 3 hours. The next time I did it, it was shut off for 24 hours, and then I knew it wasn't a glitch. It wasn't exactly immediate, either; it took a few minutes. I was pretty sure there was a semi-dedicated person assigned to watch my traffic.

That wasn't over a VPN. I wanted them to see my traffic. But I knew running over a VPN would just raise suspicion. When I opened up VPNs to check email after that, I did it from cafes, and I did it in short spurts.
2 million folks (ie voters) over the age of 55 die every year, and 4 million young folks age into voting every year. I find it questionable if this idea can withstand the eventual tipping point when younger cohorts are tired of subsidizing the folks who pulled the ladder up behind them (housing, healthcare, wages that don't keep up and tenuous unemployment, requiring degrees that require debt with no assurance of a job after, safety nets that may be substantially impaired by the time they qualify for them). These young folks (top of Gen Z cohort is ~26 currently) are not why the national debt clock ticks where it does (~$32.25T as of this comment).

These geritocracy and conservative decisions will eventually catch up. As I tell my father, "be kind, I will be the one to pick your nursing home." The numbers are very clear who wins when young people actually turn out, so this just adds fuel to the fire.

Yes, I think I agree.

However, the idea of a construct being deemed a person makes no sense given how we define what a person is.

Further, having essentially broken that definition, we have opened the door for all sorts of crazy legal things to happen! Anything can be a person. Anything can be anything, taken to extremes.

In addition to voting issues you mention, having the corporation as person means some of us have agency others do not due to how we operate companies. The owners have a shield for all sorts of otherwise expensive and risky behavior. Great as well as evil actions are possible, affordable and it is not necessary we allow these things.

I see it as very harmful.
personally, having a list of books helps me keep up the reading habit.
usually I have months of reading, followed by months of not touching a book.

having a list in notion reminds me to continue.

in addition having a list of books I want to read (ghost library in japanese?) reminds of the things I don't know yet or haven't read which in turn helps keeping the reading habits.
It's in focus because these are being used as test cases to define the boundaries of the law.

We had a similar one in the UK, which went all the way to our Supreme Court: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/oct/10/uk-supreme-c...

The judges agreed with your view too:

> The bakers could not refuse to supply their goods to Mr Lee because he was a gay man or supported gay marriage, but that is quite different from obliging them to supply a cake iced with a message with which they profoundly disagreed.

Which seems to me also a very reasonable line to draw, in terms of freedom of expression.
Or, education should be free, full stop, and it should be okay to change things to make that true for as many people as possible.
> Three strikes" and... what? Red alert! Let me drop everything and read the damn article right now, because it could be "three strikes and you lose your Google account", which is kinda big fucking deal.

This is an interesting point. Like, they're not doing it today, but ... yeah, I might checkout the alternative streaming services again when I get a moment. Because you know if this initiative doesn't make a chart start to go upwards, then sooner or later somebody in a board room is going to suggest it. Better to just get off of youtube now.

> (Also no joke on brain poison. The way kids react to an ad that occasionally slips by us is a perfect measure of how fucked up advertising is.)

My kids absolutely freak out whenever they see an ad. "What's happening? Is the TV broken?" I feel like their reaction is proof that I've done at least one thing right as a parent.
Find an article that says that great works of the English language were produced while the authors were drunk then?

1. That kinda already happens to a degree. A significant part of the youtube audience is outside of US & Europe and so those users are worth less to advertisers because advertising budgets are somewhat proportional to the population's disposable income. However youtube still has the same cost whether they're serving a user who advertisers would pay a lot for or a user where advertisers won't pay a lot for.

2. That's just making the experience worse for the people who do watch ads. Imagine it's a restaurant and you're raising the price so half the people can eat for free (this way everybody stays happy).
Don’t miss that the effect on athletes is quite a bit larger than the effect on legacies! See page 4.

Legacy admissions are indefensible, but athletic admissions are even less so. (Less than 0, I guess?)

No one outside of Harvard cares how their fencing team does and (I presume) 99% of current Harvard students don’t either.

If you want to find the group that is most unjustly benefitted by a dumb feature of the admissions process it’s in my view athletes.

Not adding any chlorine is an interesting choice in any case, you can start out with perfectly pure water and still end up with contamination along the way to your tap. A tiny amount of chlorine prevents that, and it evaporates quickly after the water leaves the tap.

They just hack the backups as well. Adds like 10% to their costs because those systems are also completely insecure.

Even a perfect backup system is easy to beat. You just infiltrate the running system and encrypt the dataflow into the backup system after you get in, do that for a few months, then strike; now they have to restore from multiple month old backups which is basically just as good.

Before you say that infiltrating for multiple months is unrealistic, that is actually industry average. It usually takes a few months to years to detect a active infiltration that is actively siphoning all data out of your systems as fast as it is being generated. That is not even a largely quiescent system like the backup encrypter, that is actual high bandwidth egress remaining undetected for months.
> Next, the creeps are going to post more less-than-kosher material, with reporting of it essentially going into unread inboxes by overworked mods.

If anything can hurt Reddit, it's that kind of material. Advertisers really, really don't like controversial content, and are the first to pull out of any service that even smells of controversy or political incorrectness, see what happened to Twitter revenues after the Musk takeover. The Reddit protests would have been far more effective if people started posting (and/or moderators stopped removing) gore, porn and Swastikas everywhere, maybe with a sprinkling of racism and homophobia on top.
Why should advertisers pay more for ads that fewer people watch? Why would an advertiser be okay with sponsoring people that avoid their ads? It's not the advertisers' jobs.

Medical leaders decry Supreme Court decision on affirmative action
My concern is related, but separate. "Religious exceptions" are the number one excuse people are using to evade regulations around vaccinating children, and that particular hobby comes with a body count.

We need to get to a point where people citing their religion isn't an excuse to pick and choose how and which laws apply to them. Forget cakes, forget LGBT or anything else, just think about how this framework is already being abused.
Real estate photos have some bad incentives.

It's a lot of work to visit a house you might want to buy, but there's about 0 percent chance you buy one without doing so. So the agent must optimize to get you there, essentially by lying with photographs.

This sets wrong expectations, and it's always disappointing to visit because it's never what the photos told you.

You get used to it as a buyer, but setting you up with wrong expectations isn't really what the buyer or seller wants.

Some of these aren't really bad photos, they're just a hard thing to sell. And some others are bad only because they're too honest.

Many are just bad of course. But the fire one is brilliant.
There are many, many IRC networks that are still very active with tens of thousands of active users. Libera.chat is probably the best one I can suggest at the moment for a wide selection of topics. Politics, news, every tech group and subject under the sun, etc...

I've run https://n.tkte.ch/ for the last decade and it's bots are currently connected to over 200 unique, active IRC servers. Still very much alive!
If I had to guess, because their self service tools suck and they haven't invested in agency relationships.

If you want a successful internet ad business you need to do one of those, but preferably both.

That being said, it's wild to me that Twitter never managed to build a DR (i.e. selling clicks/conversions) business, so maybe Reddit is equally as badly managed (which again, is really surprising to me).
No kidding. I miss IRC. I still use it, but yea, its mostly silence. About the only time I've seen interaction is on something like #fedora or #freebsd where people just ask support type questions.

The discussion is about keeping college admission purely based on merit.
What you have to understand about the contemporary media industry is that their primary business objective is to sell advertisements. Your attention is the product now; the more of it they can sell to advertisers, the more profitable the business becomes. It's much easier to present positive quarterly earnings reports by selling eyeballs and clicks than it is selling pretty much anything else. In the before times, when media companies were primarily in the business of selling content for a monthly or yearly subscription fee, this was much less of an issue.

You can't block access to their most profitable raw material and expect them to just sit and take it.
>If you take the stupidest human possible, or go back further down the evolutionary tree to one of our stupidest primate ancestors, it would still be able to kill a chicken.

Sure. "A" chicken. But our ancestors didn't do that. They didn't kill 1 chicken, or 10,000 chickens.

They domesticated the entire species. They kept them alive, but locked up. All of them.

The analogy has already failed quite a ways back... but it still shows how you focus on the wrong things.

Like there won't be some "chicken wrangler" the AI can hire? How many bitcoins would it have to scrape together to pay for the hitman that would push you around?
A friend and colleague was raving about it. However, I acknowledge it's only one data point and so I should take even my friend's opinion with a grain of salt.
You might say nearly half of white student got a VIP lane but that doesn't mean it's easier to get into Harvard when you are white. In fact if you remove legacy admissions from the pool and calculate the % of admitted people among those who needed to go through the full process you will see the numbers are heavily stacked against white and Asians.

It's not like you can choose to be in a group that benefits from those legacy admissions when you're white. That's why the race based rhetoric is so dangerous to fairness - just because it's easier to some people who share some physical characteristics with you doesn't mean it's in any way easier for you. Part of the political spectrum wants to even turn it against you.

The student loan forgiveness plan aside, this seems like another decision which indicates the erosion of jurisprudence. Standing seems to have been conveniently worked around in this instance and the textualists of the court had no problem not interpreting the law as written to achieve this ruling.

>Ashish Jha ... has demonstrably contributed to the deaths of many many people without resolving the pandemic

Considering he was one of the early voices calling for the lockdown, which probably did save millions of lives (remember, flattening the curve helped prevent our medical system from being even more overwhelmed than it was), and the pandemic is functionally down to the same threat level as seasonal viruses, this is a pretty bad take.

The government should not be forgiving any debt taken on by anybody. The attempt to do so was blatantly buying votes.

You were responsible and paid off your debt. Taking on unsustainable debt is a choice. It was not forced on anybody. Why do you think that the government should absolve responsibility of other debt holders?
I didn't downvote you but if a government

- offers no way of replacing itself democratically

- extends own term indefinitely

- blocks free exchange of information

- censors specific speech that shows its failures or desire of people to replace it

- suppresses internal protests with murders and disappearings of people (1989 Tiananmen, 2019+ Hong Kong, blank paper movement, ...)

etc then it's super clear its primary goal is maintaining power.

Sure, it cannot maintain power without at least seeming to be "aligned with nation". But it takes second place to maintaining power.

Nobody doubts that atheletes often had to train hard.

But you actually posted the counterargument by yourself:

Exactly: college is about academics and not sports, so athlets should only get a "VIP lane" for academic achievement/potential and not for athletic achievement/potential.
