Half the comments here are saber-rattling at the title of the article, without the understanding that the title itself is an egregious mischaracterization. Yeah, the court issued a rule, but the layman's interpretation of "that means they found actual wrong doing" is not correct. It's just a preliminary injunction, apparently based on some flawed misinterpretation of the actual communication that took place [1].

I use Firefox Relay but I'm super unhappy with it. They only offer 1 domain (or subdomains for it in paid version) and this domain is blocked on many websites. You can't send mail from a relay alias. Too few aliases available in free version.
Are you allowed to use the AWS logo on a site that is not owned by Amazon?

I originally thought this was an official Amazon website...their lawyers would probably say the same thing...
Sorta? The thread was about how odd it is that <div> has implicit end tags?

So, makes sense that the topic seems different, but it is the explanation for why a div grows to contain everything under it. For example, this is needed to know why the div in the following text closes.

<table>
<tr>
<td>Some cell
<td>Another cell
<tr>
<td>And <div>Another
<tr>
<td>With more stuff.

Right? I get that the original confusion is thinking you can make a self closing div. But the fact that it expands to cover things that come after it requires you to know about the implicit closing. Hard to understand one without understanding the other.

Edit: I suppose it would be better for me to say that none of the examples on the immediate parent post are different, because none of them close the div? It isn't that the one div expands to cover everything after it, is that nothing caused it to be closed. Indeed, if those are just snippets from a document, you can't be sure that stuff that comes after it is also not included in the div.
I don't seem to remember that. Where was that used? The closest I can think is email, which is where I thought Twitter borrowed it.

I remember hashtags being popularized first by Flickr (maybe @mentions were too?)
> The prohibited topics and purposes of communication are incredibly vague, basically anything contrary to "protected free speech", which has no definition in the injunction and is famously tricky to define in US law.

By "incredibly vague" you mean "specified with a detailed 10 point list over 1.5 pages with an additional page of specific exclusions"
Is "confirm contract" a full sentence? I think it sounds like it's missing a few words.
Out of curiosity, why do you require that? On my desktop, my system account is protected, never left unattended while unlocked, and I've got full-disk encryption.

I can't presently imagine a benefit to an extra password for my notetaking application, so your comment makes me wonder whether I'm missing something or whether I just use it a little differently than you do.

I overcome self-doubt and impostor syndrome with my confidence portfolio
Ever had that feeling of being a fraud, despite your impressive accomplishments and qualifications? When a new opportunity is presented to you, does an internal nagging voice tell you to save yourself the embarrassment and decline? Do you often worry you’re not good enough?

If so, you're not alone! Impostor syndrome affects professionals from all walks of life, from entry-level hires to celebrities and seasoned executives. Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, Tom Hanks, all have struggled with self-doubt and impostor syndrome.

I am no different. I also struggled and sometimes still do with being hard on myself and not feeling like I’m ever good enough. With time, however, I’ve been able to learn how to tame the nagging voice, take more risks and feel more and more confident. My secret: my confidence portfolio.
How do you beat impostor syndrome?

If you think that's "pretty far to the right," I'd wager you haven't met many people on the right or spent much time reading their thought. There's a whole world of interesting political variety on the left, the right, and elsewhere that will never appear in the newspaper.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but cell phone companies only know which tower you are currently connected to. So it's pretty inaccurate. The only thing that is "house accurate" is the GPS on your phone. That means they need access to your phone to get that info.

Remark that GPS doesn't need to be turned on. Google mapped all Wifi's and so can locate you without GPS.

> If I was making 80,000 a year I wouldn't be able to afford this modest starter home.

You can afford a modest starter home on 80k a year if you're not carrying any debt, lenders cap DTI around 40%, or $2600/month, although your finances would be tight, and you wouldn't be able to live in a state with excessive taxes like California.

2023:

- Median US Home Price is $436,000

- Average interest rate: ~6%

- Monthly payment on $348k (20% down) @ 6% = $2,086/month

> If you’re pleased when a judge bans any and all communication among millions of citizens, you don’t actually value the first amendment, you’re just cheering a partisan victory.

Except, that's not what's happening? The judge ordered the government not to contact a handful of companies, because it was coercing them into censoring speech it didn't like. A restraining order on a harasser is not a violation of the first amendment. This ruling is like putting a restraining order on an executive branch that was harassing companies into censoring speech.
> 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.

I'm not sure you read the article you're quoting, because you're claiming stuff that does not correspond to the facts.

The article you're quoting states quite clearly that a judge granted a request for a preliminary injunction imposing limits on how a few state institutions can exercise their rights to fight disinformation.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.18...

This is a preliminary injunction. It loosely means "hey we have here a plaintiff that claims a few government institutions are doing something wrong. While we check if the plaintiff's complain holds any water, let's put a pin on these things."

The article you're quoting also states quite clearly that the US government has the right to fight disinformation, specially that which directly harms the public. This happens to be exactly the case.

This boils down to covid denialists and antivaxers in general trying to push their disinformation, and thus trying to stop state institutions such as the Department of Health from suggesting that, say, letting a pandemic spread freely through a population can get a lot of people killed.
The whole, entire US government debunked it! Phew. I can sleep easy at night now...

It's an addiction like other MMOs. You grind sufficiently to where you don't feel much from gaining more (xp/money/whatever) but feel awful if you lose anything, or if you simply stop playing and let it go "to waste." These games are deliberately designed this way. You can spend 10 years on it without anywhere near a proportional amount of fun, and you won't gain anything lasting. Like, you wouldn't say a 10-year alcoholic is simply passionate about alcohol.

The 1A grants the right to free speech to the people —people who do not have the force or threat of violence to coerce. It does not speak to the freedom a government has to communicate.

Besides, the government has its own organs at its disposal to communicate with the people.
I remember there being a startup in the Dotcom era, I forget the name but for people familiar with Cambridge, MA it was where the IDEO is now. They were notorious for a few things, but one of them was writing open source software with a lot of profanity.

I thought this was cool, and was talking excitedly about it to my boss and some of the senior devs. They were less amused. Cut 20 years later and I too am less impressed by this.

Not that I think it's *bad* per se, I'm not clutching pearls or anything. But I never find myself thinking what the code really needs are profanities in the comments. Whereas back then I thought it'd be funny/cool and went out of my way to do so when I could. Which wasn't often.
And then the wider Mastodon big instances.

This is inevitable, whether you block Threads or not, any tech savvy celebrity that chose a Mastodon instance is now on Threads.

Instance blocking Threads will cause those who follow that person to move over to a centralised Mastodon instance that hasn't blocked Threads.

From here they will continue to follow / interact with them if they choose to.
Dreamcast had terrible timing, in my opinion. That, and the controller was obnoxious. But wrt timing, the Dreamcast launched in between generations. Console generations tend to last at least 5 years. It was harder for people to afford multiple consoles back then, and if you had purchased an N64 or a PS1 in '96-'98, it was probably too soon to buy a second or third console in 1999, when Dreamcast launched. It had far too little time as the best hardware before PS2 and Xbox both launched in the following year and a half with better graphics and DVD support, leapfrogging it in the process.

It's funny; on my Facebook news feed's comments you'd get the impression that The Economist is some kind of far-left progressive newspaper. Here you get the impression that it's some kind of Ronald Reagan-Jeff Bezos love child.

It means the maximum length of your query. The longer the context window the more complex questions you can pose. For example, being able to paste the text of a whole book and asking for a summary.
To be fair, parent only asked for a level of sureness. Which of course is zero.

NYPD has a lot of officers, I bet they could take a couple countries.
Whether or not it's man made has no bearing on whether or not we can stop it.
I thought they tried it multiple times. The problem is they had so many developers writing new code any rewrite attempt would fall behind super quickly?

So they created their own language Hack so allow a slow transfer from PHP to Hack. Which is basically the idea behind Kotlin.
In high school they cleared our graphing calculators before each exam, it had become too widespread.

No, it doesn't. See the exceptions on pp 5-6.
There is a distinction between 'what Christians believe' and 'what the Bible claims'.

The creation narrative in Genesis: either "the Bible is sacred and wholly true/correct" OR "the theory of evolution is true/correct". If the Bible can be wrong about the nature of the universe (as the Church was wrong about heliocentricism during Galileo's time), then surely it can be wrong about any number of issues.

Another example of Ann Wroe's wonderful obituaries in the Economist and the way how she details in such a humane way how (often forgotten) pioneers, visionaries shaped the world we live in.
And so many briliant small tales in one page. A mother determined to help her son, a pioneering scientist giving an individual the relief of a classification, what was then surely against the system. The consequence: a man able to live a (relatively) normal life. And the community that accepted someone 'different' as one of their own.

> If you think it is "humiliating" to get managed by someone younger than you then you don't have the right mindset for the role to begin with.

Granted, the industry seems to feed this, too.

For example, two former [younger] underlings occupy the next two spots up on my chain of command. It seems like I am constantly asked why I didn't move up or "get the promotion". I respond with "they do a better job of managing than I would do" or "I don't like meetings".

And the truth is, I was offered both spots at one time, but I knew what those jobs entailed: a lot of meetings, a lot of managing, and very little engineering. And I didn't want them.

Another truth is, and I'm 100% fine with this fact, is that they do a far better job than I would/could have done. They enjoy working with people, and I enjoy working with systems (although that's somewhat changing with age and I'm enjoying the people part a lot more). But they have 0% time to work on engineering duties.

While that is technically correct, they haven't been running vanilla PHP for quite some time - it's jitted into x86 and run natively on the machine. It's also pretty extensively optimized. And the VM that does the jitting is all C++. Their MySQL deployment is also an internal fork that's been heavily modified for scalability (storage/compute separation, sharding, RocksDB based storage engine instead of InnoDB, Raft for synchronous replication, etc.). Lots of really fantastic engineering work has gone into making their backend infra scale.

Documentation: "is any communicable material that is used to describe, explain or instruct regarding some attributes of an object, system or procedure, such as its parts, assembly, installation, maintenance and use."

That's a pretty [good definition I think](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentation). I also think a type does provide explanation and instructions about how to use typed code. So, I think by definition, types are undeniably documentation.
> a nationwide injunction restricting the government from nearly all contact with various companies and nonprofits.

Good thing that such an injunction was not issued.

Given all the emphasis you place on paraphrasing things correctly, this seems to be a pretty egregious misrepresentation of the injunction.

The WSJ Opinion pages generally consist of articles written by The Editorial Board and also those submitted by guest contributors. It would be hard to argue that opinion pieces written by external authors and published by the WSJ have any consistency or standard in factuality or completeness. For example, the column frequently includes content from politicians, business leaders, or former campaign managers like Karl Rove. From what I have seen, the WSJ does not edit external opinion pieces, but can write a short disclaimer.

I think Geoffrey Hinton addresses this point well in his recent podcast with Pieter Abbeel. He says and I paraphrase, current Deep Learning methods are great at learning from large amounts of data with a relatively small amount of compute. Human brain on the other hand, with around 150 trillion synapses/ parameters has the opposing problem, parameters/ compute is cheap but data is expensive. It needs to learn a large amount from very less data and it is likely a large amount of regularization (things like dropout) will be required to do this without over-fitting. I think we will have a real shot at AGI once 100Trillion param models become feasible which might happen within this decade.

Yeah, no this just ain't so. You may in your personal devotion believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you say that in your private life, no problem. That's your freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Now let's say you clock in to your job as Attorney General and you make it known that you think Christianity is the best and other religions are sad and misguided. Then we have a problem.
