"A court found that the government abused its power and infringes on people’s first amendment rights by using its intimidation power to coerce social media to censor free speech of citizens."

They literally did not.

This is a preliminary injunction, not a decision on the merits.

This is why the court is clear they are allegations, etc.

There is a ton of issues with this injunction and rationale, and it will almost certainly be overturned (or at the very least,seriously modified) on appeal.

In fact, the injunction and reasoning even deliberately misquotes evidence to try to support points. Not like in arguable ways, either.
While that sort of thing may be fun and play okay sometimes at the district level, and in the news, 99% of the time that goes very badly at appeals.

I strongly doubt when that happens that you will come back and say "i guess the government didn't do a bad thing"

(I read the entire decision, FWIW)

I agree with you. Things like this:

> A February 2021 message in which Flaherty asked Twitter to remove a parody account related to Hunter Biden's daughter said, "Cannot stress the degree to which this needs to be resolved immediately. Please remove this account immediately."

are just self-dealing. If I email Twitter with a request like that, they correctly route it to /dev/null. If the office of the President sends that, they can't do that. It's just too risky. So that's why I think it's an abuse of power.

In the absence of some court ruling that prohibits parody, you have the Constitutional right to pretend to be Hunter Biden's daughter on Twitter. Twitter also has the right to do some editorializing, like not giving them a checkmark, or posting a note like "we don't think this is actually Hunter Biden's daughter", or shutting down the account. It's their right, but they have to do it because they want to do it, not because the President of the United States said so. That's not a power that the President has.

While I personally agree with the causes the administration is fighting for, they are exercising powers that the government doesn't have. That should always be viewed critically. It sucks that people are getting bad information about vaccines. Increase funding for schools or get a Constitutional amendment passed that removes the freedom of speech. Threatening emails are easy, but an abuse of power. Follow the process you swore an oath to uphold, even if you don't get instant gratification. The 1st Amendment exists for a good reason, and we can't forget that.
> What is the true color?

I have a palette of bricks of known color to calibrate against. If you've got a good number of sets, you'll likely start to accumulate things that are only in a few colors. If possible, it's nice to switch those up with a 1x2 brick in that color for consistency and because the 1x2s are stable on the large area maps.

> As an example, here the description of a brick I struggled to name. I've since figured it out, but you are welcome to guess: flat 4x1 with bumps only on the ends (yes, "bumps", because I don't know what the technical term is. Again, I'm sure there's a guide or glossary I could find.)

You kind of work up to it. There are very small and hard to read numbers on a lot of the parts that helps sometimes. Searching for 1x4, ignore printed parts, shows 230 parts on rebrickable (other sites may vary), looking through all those pictures gets me to "Plate Special 1 x 4 with 2 Studs" [1]. I don't think there's a brick like this, or I can't find it, just the plate; but then you didn't know the magic terminology that the flat pieces (1/3rd height) are plates, not bricks. Had I properly interpreted your description, I'd have jumped to the plates, special category, and skipped the search.

I'm not ignorant of the history I merely disagree.

I think promoting what every educated person knows are provable falsehoods liable to cause the death of thousands during a public emergency ought to fall outside of free speech. There isn't some controversy about whether covid vaccines change your DNA or whether horse paste is an effective treatment that obviates the need to vaccinate. These are lies and every promoter of such lies has heard them denounced as such a hundred times thus it is willfully promoting what they reasonably ought to know are lies that they reasonably ought to know will lead to deaths. If they were promoting it during the pandemic they were doing so during a public health emergency.

That said the government isn't trying to prosecute they are trying to advise social media companies to stop boosting lies and hosting it. Let the dissenters get a mastodon if they want to share such.
We're not in the wrong here. Judges produce absurd findings with regularity -- this case is newsworthy because the finding is surprising and controversial.

If you paw around a bit in law you'll find judges sometimes going out of their way to misconstrue extremely explicit statements to reach the conclusion they want to reach. Being explicit can help, but there's no way to be 100% sure.

Having used Node/express, Rails, Flask, and Django extensively, I have been very impressed with Django. The framework itself is good, but the superpowers come from the ORM and DRF, and a few other great plugins. The stuff you can do with the ORM and DRF is nothing short of incredible. Now, you could argue that the framework shouldn't be tightly coupled to the ORM, and sqlalchemy does provide some stiff competition as an example of that, but in my experience Django ORM edges out sqlalchemy in terms of usability.

There are some footguns around N+1 queries, but they are general to all database interfaces and pretty easy to avoid IMO.

What lies in the heart of the Galileo's Copernican Heliocentrism argument is the Church is and can be wrong, thus challenging the authority of the Church.

> It’s that religion isn’t fundamentally opposed to science.

Take the creation narrative in Genesis: the world was created ~10,000 years ago in 6 (or 7, depending on how you count it) days. Is that narrative in fundamental conflict with modern science? Can both the genesis creation narrative and the theory of evolution be right? What and who decides which is correct? Should reason and evidence guide our beliefs or ancient texts proclaimed to be sacred?
> the worst outcome would be missing a few percentage points of economic growth by unnecessarily restricting energy sources.

I suppose the real reason we're not tackling it full on is that it won't be a few percentage points.

Let's face it, the cost of abruptly stopping fossil fuel dependence would be high. Countries going bankrupt, people dying due to high fuel costs, enormous investments diverting money from other necessities.

It may well be necessary, and better than the alternative! But we tried the "just cycle a little bit more" approach and it made next to no dent to CO2 emissions. To really tackle it, we'd need to reinvent the global economy.

Have you met farmers? They will readily tear apart their equipment to fix an issue or modify the tool to make them more ergonomic. This trend of massive multi-million dollar John Deere combine harvesters with DRM widgets that you need to take to a specialized tech to get fixed, is a relatively modern one, and one detested by virtually every farmer.

> It's become quite rare for me to see people who defend speech they don't agree with ...

I think framing this as being about speech with which one disagrees, or finds repugnant, is a bit disingenuous. It omits consideration of the possibility of speech that is genuinely harmful. For a few examples:

- My friends and I decide it'd be cool to put you in jail, so we report you as committing a serious crime that you didn't, and all give matching testimony that leads to your conviction.

- Pfizer starts selling a new drug that cures cancer. Except it turns out that they completely fabricated all the studies showing its effect, and actually the pills are nothing but placebos.

- A mugger with his hand in his pocket stops you at night and says, "Give me your wallet or I'll shoot you." You give him your wallet and he leaves.

I hope you would agree that these situations are... not ideal, and that the law should be able to discourage them. Despite the fact that all of these are, indisputably, speech.
Because freedom of speech isn't absolute, and whether "the government did a bad thing" is the very question being asked, to which reasonable people may disagree.

With over a million COVID deaths in the US, there's a very valid question to be raised as to when emergency public health requirements take precedence over a right to spread misinformation/disinformation.

Freedom of speech isn't of much use when you're dead.

I'm not arguing which side was right, but I am saying it shouldn't baffle anyone, because it's a complex question with real tradeoffs on both sides. It's not simple black-and-white in the way you're presenting it.
Most US media leans left, which is why WSJ news side even looks to be conservative compared to their peers.

For example: https://ballotpedia.org/Fact_check/Do_97_percent_of_journali...
Somewhere between 87-94% of political donations from journalists goes to Democrats. Wikipedia links some more polls that show similar things (though not as stark): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_bias_in_the_United_State...

When you have a profession that leans one way, most reporting likely follows. So while WSJ news seems conservative, it's positions compared to the general public's views leans slightly left. (Though after reading WSJ for many years now, it highly depends on the reporter).

I was curious so I went and found this : https://geti2p.net/en/comparison/tor
My cynical take is that, in this market, "human work" is cheaper than the cost of "human living". There's no real malice, just supply and demand. We've automated all our labor but we expect our workers to be ever more productive. Of course that can't be sustained, eventually the average value produced by a worker exceeds their cost of living. And then... IDK what happens next.
The reply is that they obviously didn’t: they merely prioritize other issues — just as you prioritize other issues ahead of not supporting organized racism towards Asians.

The inference they changed their opinion on those topics, rather than prioritized something else (eg, not being vilified) is a bad faith inference directly contradicted by their post, which explains why they changed their vote explicitly.

If I were to use your logic, then I’d conclude that you are personally racist towards Asians — because you vote for a party that is. But that would both be incorrect and an act of bad faith.
yah thumbs up is a good default low resolution acknowledgement rather than having to type. I say low resolution because some platforms have limited emoji availability to chose from, eg if no :ok: emoji exists to express with. I prefer giving emoji responses like this when I don't want to clutter up my text history that I often later go back and search for to hunt down past conversations. Reducing unnecessary text helps in those efforts, less to have to filter through.

If you're tired of being a programmer, then you're looking at changing your career. Management is one of the options for your new career, along with many others.

There is not a "natural progression" from being a programmer to being a manager. They are very different and distinct occupations.

> Can I leverage my experience (i think i have a lot..) to move into a management role when i don't have any job experience in that role?

Your programming experience does not translate into managerial experience. If you really want to get into management, you'd be well-advised to seek out training in that field no matter how experienced a programmer you are.

That said, once you have managerial chops, your programming experience has value. Not in terms of being a manager generally, but in terms of being a better manager of programmers. In other words, it's a value-add -- but you need to have the baseline value before there's something to add to.
It's kind of like going to vegas for a week and coming out with a lot of good stories and 90% of your money.

In terms of investor return, I think it's healthy to have some exits like this. A bunch of the money was only in for 2 years, and probably doubled their investment in that time. The rest of the investors got their money back, with something close to NASDAQ returns on top of it. If this was the baseline for the fund instead of going to zero, you wouldn't need unicorns and the questionable growth tactics that go with them.

If founders had 25%, they got "retirement with reasonable luxuries" or "gunpowder to play investor" money of double digit $millions.

If 20-25 employees split an option pool of 15%, it's close to replacing the FAANG opportunity cost.

So totally agree that it's a bit of a "meh" outcome in comparison to financial alternatives, and the pie splitting matters a lot. But it didn't go to zero, and everyone is within a stone's throw of their stock market / FAANG hurdle rates (and it's not like that FAANG career is guaranteed for people who thrive better at startups). And the stories and experiences are a hell of a lot better.
