> who got to decide what is extremist or as the study also put it "alternative"?

That's explained in the paper:

> Our list of extremist channels consists of those labeled as white identitarian by Ledwich and Zaitsev (26) (30 channels), white supremacist by Charles (45) (23 channels), alt-right by Ribeiro et al. (24) (37 channels), extremist or hateful by the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League (16 channels), and those compiled by journalist Aaron Sankin from lists curated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, the Counter Extremism Project, and the white supremacist website Stormfront (157 channels) (46).
Horrifying to see open and talk of war with China with no shame whatsoever. Not only is there 0 reason for such a war besides providing a market for these stupid murder gadgets, the human toll of such a war would be unthinkable.
Getting an account setup is unfortunately a challenge.

Which leads to the same issue as Bitcoin, Git and other open services - costs of managing are so high, that there's going to be monopolization in the hands of the one that can attract the most resources... and even when the financial costs aren't high(hosting Git or a mailserver on your home router/server/NAS is not expensive), the time costs start to take a toll.

There's going to be a mental barrier to these things - paying $9 per month for a managed Mastodon instance is mentally way too much. I pay for Google One, to not think about storage and mail management... and get many perks with it.
Is it a new trend now? Zoom then Microsoft, the list keeps on going.
>But if the self driving vehicles are being a bit slower than human-driven cars, that’s a very small price to pay for the huge safety benefits.

The safety benefit doesn't even have to factor in, or only somewhat. Part of the drive for speed with human driven vehicles is that for most of us it represents pure waste in our lives. The two hours I drive to a job isn't some uplifting activity, just robotic drudgery. Yeah I can load up a podcast or something and try to get something out of the time (at the cost of slightly more distraction perhaps!) but that's limited. So of course I'm motivated to have that be as short as possible. Shaving off 15 minutes on a trip made a hundred times a year will add up to weeks of my life back to me, although of course at a higher risk of losing my life entirely perhaps?

Whereas if the robotic aspect was taken care of by a computer instead, I'd be free to make far more use of that time. Or even just sleep, which is still useful. If the car takes an extra half hour, that's not necessarily a problem in the slightest because it's not a wasted half hour. Being conservative will be much easier purely from a self-interested perspective. Avoiding all the other issues is very good as well but I don't think it'd require some self-sacrifice either.

>In fact, as a pedestrian and cyclist, I could not care less.

Well, you should.
Whilst I agree with it not being the way to deal with debris, tubeless tyres have great ride quality and can shrug off most punctures. Their only downsides are excessive cost, expertise needed to install/change them and occasionally getting squirted with sealant if a hole doesn't seal immediately.
Nothing special, it’s an Alfred workflow to list my installs which are just folders on the file system. Each folder has its own saves/mods and a link to launch the version of Factorio I want. It calls a script that symlinks the mods/saves to the right place and launches the game.
It's only an asset if viewers can see it. If they never show it, and never put it on media, it's not an asset and has zero value for tax purposes. So poof Westworld disappears and is no longer an asset.
There wasn't a password necessary, the TPM was an unlocking mechanism.

Secure Boot with TPM-backed disk encryption works off of a series of numbered hashes. The idea of TPM based FDE is that the machine will use Secure Boot to boot only a software chain that the end-user trusts not to contain authentication bypasses. In Secure Boot, the EFI firmware provides hashes of each stage in the boot chain to the TPM, and the TPM only unlocks the full-disk encryption key (really the key encryption key, since the TPM isn't fast enough to actually decrypt the disk) slot if each stage / configuration is valid.

This issue breaks that chain. In some sense it's an illustration of this system being silly conceptually, but it is a real issue IMO.
> This is precisely what happened in non-Soviet-occupied Germany. Only the most senior Nazis were severely punished at big trials like Nuremberg.

> but it sought to avoid prosecuting any but the most trenchant participants in Apartheid

So, not at all what happened in Spain then, as no one got punished at all, everyone was supposed to just collectively forget about it. I wouldn't have a issue with it if it just focused on the "most trenchant participants" but instead nothing was done.

> Today in Spain, the term “fascist” is often applied by people on the left to any ideological opponent on the far-right or even the center-right, but that right-wing opponent’s actual link to Franco or the distinctly early-twentieth-century phenomenon that was Fascism, is doubtful.

I'm not sure if you visited Spain recently, but there is definitely young francoists and falangists all around Spain, openly promoting fascism and trying to protect whatever legacy Franco still has in the country. It's not a handful of elderly folks as you think.
Some folks would even say that less ornamentation = more beauty. e.g. Jony Ive.

> Do online platforms facilitate the consumption of potentially harmful content? Using paired behavioral and survey data provided by participants recruited from a representative sample in 2020 (n = 1181)

I question the value of any sociological research done in 2020, due to the extenuating circumstances that pervaded the lives of almost everyone in 2020, it's a bit like trying to do studies of population dynamics during the middle of a large scale war, there's a significant possible confounding factor in anything you measure.
Meh, the ToS is unenforceable and VPNs with residential IPs are not that expensive. Sure it's little harder to scrape than HN for example, but everyone trains on twitter data (along with everything else on the internet)
Do you have a copy of the hardware manual for the thing? If so, I believe the Connections Museum would love to borrow it :)
How I feel is that for physical products, and things that users individually own (ex model weights in this example), users right now can basically ignore terms of service and use contracts in the USA almost entirely and completely get away with it.

And that's a good thing.

That's the existing situation that we live in now, and it is a good thing that consumers can freely ignore the TOS on basically everything and do so constantly.

The exceptions, are of course, if you are referencing online services with a TOS, but that bothers me less because it involves other people and other people's live services, whereas a TOS that involves something a single user has (like a physical object or even software on someone's own computer), individually, those TOS can be completely ignored right now.

Isn't our existing freedom great?

Also, do you acknowledge that I made strong arguments that directly addressed your question? Because you seem to just be ignoring the content of my post by just switching to a new question every time I fully answer one with strong arguments.
Google could certainly design a basic offline mapping app. They even have offline mapping in their app today.

I’m actually not even sure what the complaint is actually about since I don’t use offline myself, but I know that Google Maps is a massive app with tons of teams all working on a myriad of features in parallel and a huge dependency tree. So I’m not surprised at all if there are a bunch of features with online assumptions baked in.
Question was - "who benefits from population growth"

You know that immigrants don't grow on trees or in labs, right? They are also part of "population growth", just somewhere else. And bringing too many of them en mass is already destabilizing infertile societies (see: European ones).
Yep, iTunes famously may not be used to produce nuclear weapons. Well, the non-clickbait story is that Apple's generic user license has some boilerplate CYA regarding US federal laws. But seeing it written down in your music player is still funny [1]

Even more amusing was Douglas Crockford putting a clause in his software license saying it may not be used "for evil". A bit of tongue-in-cheek humor referencing George Bush, but actually ended up causing a bit of a headache for some orgs, and the GNU Project declaring it a non-free license [2]

Reminds me of the time I was buying a windshield for my 2001 Ford Focus and I had troubles on the website and by chance found out they link a js file from a non registered domain so I registered it and watched the traffic.

Seems to have been used on multiple sites and when a site loads js from a compromised site you can do anything on the site.

I reported it four times and after 6 months they still didn't fix it.

No LUKS password was guessed, clevis-disk-unlock command in the last screenshot used the TPM to provide a key to a LUKS keyslot for getting at the actual decryption key to decrypt the disk. The TPM should have had information about the boot state to be able to refuse to provide the key, but didn't.

Off-topic but I thought Elon Musk wanted to make X into a WeChat-like everything app where twitter would make up the social media part. Is he instead renaming twitter to X?
The absolute irony of Google doing this.
This was done because Elon's other company xAI needs this data.
Janissaries were a uniquely Ottoman practice, and evoke something completely different than Muslim Andalucia. Also, I don’t believe that the Ottomans mutilated Janissaries in the way you described - that would be counterproductive, since strength is important in the military, especially with highly motivated elite soldiers. Look it up, that’s a popular myth, no more real than the Unsullied in Game of Thrones.

In contrast to the Ottoman Empire, no one talks about some great Andalusian army. Al-Andalus was known for its culture, architecture, scientific innovation, multiculturalism, etc…that being said, the American school system doesn’t really cover Al-Andalus, the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and Muslim advancement of the frontier of knowledge.

Ok. So What is the problem?

X and other social networks will do with anyway and you're just waiting for all the other social networks, like Facebook, Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok etc to follow suit and train their AIs on your data.

The solution? If you have a problem with it and you haven't done so already, just delete your accounts on ALL social networks.
Can you describe in more detail what you mean by semantic? Doesn’t the DB schema capture the business logic to a large extent?

Social security and Medicare. H1b holders pay into both but are not eligible for either. They are not entitled to get it back even when they return to their country of citizenship.

So yes - there’s a whole lot of $$ that are currently paid into by h1b holders.
Good points thank you, I had considered that, so the Supreme Court theoretically could outside of its goal of just interpreting the constitution

THIS... unless you're building something that absolutely requires a full blown progressive rich frontend app, (95% of you don't), liveview will do all the thins using serverside components with minimal jaavscript.

Not just that, you'll have a serverside thread dedicated to that user which allows you to actively push changes to the user's frontend without you having to write explicit javascript handlers.
I personally don't want to go back and forth between pages when they include hundreds of comments. Inline loading of comments is the much better, smarter alternative. The last comments are loaded, you just gotta hit the page down key. The only thing that isn't loaded are the middle comments, and all you have to do there is tap load more comments link.

Yeah, a company that does over a billion API requests per day, they're not going to load 500 comments on a page, if you need that and I don't think you do, use the API, it has pagination...
The flip side is that most sites, and even "apps", don't need to be SPAs.
I tried Nostr for awhile, and I appreciate that they're picking up where Scuttlebot left off. There are a few things that bug me about it that I wish they'd fix, or that some future protocol will solve.

First, I want a replication strategy. Nostr messages get lost in time, and many of the clients end up just blasting an entire message history at your client. Because there's no clue in the protocol how messages are related other than a timestamp this also means you can fake timestamps and write fake messages in the future or back in time. This doesn't have to be an append-only log, but you need some idea of message order to avoid wasting bandwidth to get someone's timeline and detect when a message has been posted out of order.

Second, I don't like that many Nostr clients are using the same signing key for messages as they do for lightning transactions. We don't know how many of these web Nostr clients are secretly sending your private keys back to their servers, and everyone will run from Nostr as soon as some untrustworthy dev starts emptying lightning wallets.

Third, someone needs to delete some of these NIPS. The arms race to make Nostr as complex and difficult as possible to implement is not going to do much for the ecosystem in the long run. In the beginning Nostr was simple to implement from scratch, they should get back to that!

Fourth, it needs a dedicated blob store protocol. Yah, I know IPFS isn't great but someone should come up with something that is simple and works.

Anyway best of luck to the people who are working on the project. If anything we learned more about how these protocols can work, even if Nostr isn't going to be the winner in this space in the long term.
The thing I don’t understand about these specialty distros is what they offer over eg normal Debian, plus install Fluxbox/Openbox/AwesomeWM/i3 and use that instead of Gnome. I did this with Ubuntu for years and was very happy to have a very well supported distro with a huge community and many learning resources, plus my efficient highly customized login session of Openbox + Rox on top. The upside of using my own desktop configs is that I can stand up my personal desktop session on top of any distro that offers Openbox and Roxterm by cloning my Dotfiles git repo and symlinking some configs.

Is this kind of specialty distro “just” a very fancy and high labor way to share some dotfiles? All too often these hobby distros die off unmaintained — it just doesn’t seem to be worth it to adopt one.

This one uses runit which I like, but I don’t really care about init system as long as it’s a supervisor.
Is there a good reason to ever allow any app to do these things?
Including the biometric data they also said they're going to start collecting?
No we didn't come full circle. I always wanted a server side rendered SPA where the server template is the same as the client template. With PHP/JSP you have to switch context to say jQuery for interactivity. With an SSR rendered React SPA you continue where you left as the page gets hydrated.
Cube is cube.

Shapes can support skilled expressions of beauty. The least effort spent on drawing a curve, by hand or mathematically, has more beauty than cube.

You know what else provides shade in hot days? Trees. Shade cloth. Umbrellas. Sails. Statues. Market stalls. Extrusions. ext.

Cube is cube.

You can feel anything when it's written. If it's a cold day and your dog just died (or whatever is enough in your personal life to make you slightly unhappy), I'd prefer to be anywhere else in the world than huddled for warmth behind a grey Cube, with the ever present discomfort of infectious disease protocols in the back of my mind.

Cube is completely submitted to the purpose of the building, it has no relation to the human body or experience.

Cube is cube.
> This isn't the responsibility of an OS that doesn't ship with that support, and in fact, prior to TPMs, it was perfectly reasonable to allow the user to take control of the initramfs prior to LUKS unlock!

And it still is perfectly reasonable behavior. Any distribution that decides (perhaps as a consequence of this) that on any boot process abnormality the default response is to enter an immediate reboot loop would be called crazy.
Mom and I had a really emotional moment when 4yo was getting incredibly discouraged that he couldn’t hit the baseball but his older brother could. And 6yo just went to him and said “it’s okay! Run your own race.”
I've heard similar arguments several times, and every single time these kinds of arguments go up in flames when costs are brought up. Even discounting the "elasticity" that building applications on the cloud, its simply far cheaper from a cost perspective to build on cloud. Folks fail to mention that the cost of having the kind of all-round support from IBM that you mention comes at a significant cost that is unaffordable to most business. Its probably cheaper to debug esoteric Linux issues than to call in IBM support. In fact, IBM knows this and has moved a significant chunk of their support team abroad to reduce costs and remain affordable. In my experience, these support teams are usually of poorer quality.
At the risk of slightly embarrassing the lead dev of Evennia, Griatch, let me say that they are one of the best maintainers of an open source project I've ever seen, guiding the 15+ year old project with skill and grace (and also an amazing artist btw). It's nice to know there are projects like this out there whenever you see the latest open source dumpster fire in the headlines.
> The reason I ask is that I often push the limits of current gigabit ethernet distances and have found that actual limits are much shorter than theoretical limits meaning some network cards have a hard time negotiating at full speed and often fall back to 100mb unless forced

Does it have problems on single unbroken cable like that or it just has few patch-panels along the way ? IIRC the standard was for 100m unbroken cable, not the usual of device -> cable -> patchpanel -> cable ->patchpanel -> cable -> patchpanel -> cable -> device
Thanks for answering the question and linking to the study.
During COVID WFH, probably 20-30 per day. I didn't think it was a big deal since I had extra flexibility with my time during work hours. I eventually understood that I was blurring the lines between work and life. Now that I'm back in the office, I don't have Slack or my work email on my personal devices at all and I feel better for it.
I'm also noticing more and more articles hitting the front page, or getting close, with literally zero well reasoned arguments. Basic logic errors, self-contradictions, lack of evidence, etc., are becoming all too common.
