>If a senator blocks you on Twitter, there's very little chance that they were going to ever see your comments in the first place

You over-estimate the narcissism and under estimate the opsec of most senators and in turn, most juris doctorates (from whose ranks many so called public servants are pulled)... it was not long ago it was a common mini-scandal for someone, usually on the right, to accidentally heart some porn on their "work" device[1].

I wish I'd known when younger I could simply refuse to be imparted esoteric knowledge and live a life of error. If they're not on their phone, they're on their office computer name searching constantly when they're not editing their own Wikipedias.

This case will be decided long after folks who, if it is decided such silencing is undemocratic, have been driven to post in ways that have them booted off whole networks.

*The decision to become a public figure, like to become a dissident, is a forever decision*, and when folks try to "curate their timeline" like a teenager, they are no longer members of civil society and lose the protections granted to such persons.

TL;DR: They see these comments, and that is why they block.

Yes… but.
Lying is the wrong way to frame it “using the real risk to distract” would be better. I’m concerned and my concern is not a lie. Terminator was a concern and that predated any effort to capture the industry.

Also for those who think skynet is an example of a “ hysterical satanic cult” scare there are active efforts to use AI for the inhumanly large task of managing battlefield resources.
We are literally training AI to kill and it’s going to be better than us basically instantly.

We 100% should NOT be doing that. Calling that very real concern a lie is a dangerous bit of hyperbole.
A wonderful write-up, thank you very much.

However, it needs to be said that with currently available technologies, there is no need to have a 5 seconds buffer.

Have a look at the amazing work of the OvenMedia team (not affiliated). Using their stack, and using Low-Latency HLS (LLHLS) I have been able to easily reach an end-to-end latency between the camera on site to the end-user viewing it in the browser of <500ms. At 20 MBit/s, and using either SRT or RTMP for stream upload.

I understand that most likely your huge buffers come from you expecting your streamers to be using RTMP over crappy links, and therefore you already need to buffer THEIR data. Twitch really should invest in supporting SRT. It's supported in OBS.

Anyway:

Once you have the stream in your backend, the technology to have sub-second latency live streaming using existing web standards is there.

But all of this being said: What you are doing there is looking amazing, so keep up the good work!
Mouth off in court and see how the judge explains it to you.

Honestly, there's probably court transcripts of judges explaining in clear, reasonable terms exactly why they're silencing somebody. That's the job they supposed to do, after all.
On one (1%) hand you have loud, prominently-displayed efforts to push back on this; on the other (99%) hand you have the deep morass of horrible behaviors which don't seem to budge.

This, in an industry which women played an enormous role in founding. Sickening.
During the time I worked in that position I was one office removed from COMFRC, which was the Flag I generally reported to via my CO (who was the one who put me in that position and was highly supportive, and who ended up as COMFRC in later years).

Anything that was directly interfacing with that office was great; as soon as I was detailed to do something downline from that office it got painful despite reporting to that Flag.

I wasn't in a position to go higher without spending more time in the service, and that was a non-starter for me.
No h264? Useless to me. I'll stick with my Pi 4, and will replace them with a NUC or Ryzen mini PC when the time comes.
> But many of us experienced "listen to me because I said so" as children, and continue to experience that in school and into adulthood in the workplace. It's meaningless, but many neurotypical people neither notice that it's wrong or understand why it's wrong

This would not be perhaps the most-universal example of arbitrary authority, played with in countless pieces of mainstream media, if neurotypicals were as you suppose they are.

I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
I’m pretty sure most meta-originated ads are direct response. At least most of the ones I’ve seen. Most brand advertising shows up in places where engagement is hard (eg TV, billboards) while direct response is perfect for absentmindedly scrolling (you don’t feel bad clicking away).
> My point is only that value-generators should be rewarded as such, and it's a bit weird that engineers are totally cool with not getting a piece of the pie.

Software engineers are some of the best-paid labor in the world with great benefits and workplace conditions. They often receive equity as a compensation, even when the salary is still vastly above many other lines of work. They are absolutely getting a piece of the pie, and in much greater proportions than almost any other economic activity.

You may be discounting the value of capital, management, sales, and other roles in a successful software-related business.

The remuneration that labor and employees receive is never going to be in line with the value that they generate, precisely because the former group doesn't take any risk. They don't invest any personal capital and they aren't liable for anything. They can walk away any time, sometimes voluntarily, sometimes not. In return, they work fixed hours and get paid on a routine basis. The owners receive only what remains above and beyond all that, which could be great profits, just breaking even, or even losses.

> there's an opportunity cost, you lose time (your time is finite, company time is infinite)

Everyone everywhere loses time, because time passes whether or not you choose to do anything with it. Employees aren't unique among economic entities that they face opportunity costs.

> it's not like hedge fund managers put up the cash themselves, either

This is actually a good example to dive into. Hedge funds are typically paid "2/20", meaning 2% of assets under management every year whether or not there are any gains, and 20% of any gains above some benchmark. It's similar to, say, a commission-based sales role that gets paid a certain fixed salary and a percentage of sales they make. Whether or not 2/20 is "fair" is solely up to those who buy their services, since there is a competitive market of providers of fund management (the "employee") and providers of capital (the "employer").

And in some situations, the "employers" do in fact lose a lot of money, while the "employees" walk away; the limited partners of Melvin Capital, for example, lost many billions of dollars, all while Melvin Capital itself continued to charge the 2% management fee.

And within hedge funds itself, there are again employees who receive a stable salary and maybe some performance-related bonuses on top of that, versus the principals and owners who have personal capital invested. When LTCM blew up, for example, it's estimated that its owners lost $1.9B[0].

They don't really "use" television and radio though, do they?

They hold a press conference and television and radio stations show up and broadcast them. The stations aren't under any obligation to show up and if they declined to do so the officials would get no airtime without using the emergency broadcast option.
Since trying it on a dev conference in Amsterdam, I am severely hooked on Tony‘s Chocolonely, which usually rates quite high in labor protection reviews [1] and has started to introduce traceability for the supply chains of its various ingredients. It also tastes unbelievably good.

> This is why I hate psychologists. They place labels on people then use those labels to bully people.

The bullying is usually done by politicians and the public, not the psychologist.
I guess my view on it is that there's really no reason for the obsolescence.

iOS 17 may not be technically able to run on the A11 chip in the iPhone X, but only on the basis that it's been designed not to do so. Any features that genuinely needed extra neural cores (or whatever limitation there might be) were clearly designed that way with the intention of forcing a new purchase - the software could have in all likelihood run just fine on the A11 if they wanted it to. OCLP kind of proves this on macOS, which should (in theory) be even harder to maintain support for than iOS, as there are many more binary driver blobs that Apple doesn't control the source code for and therefore can't stand over/patch if the original vendor has stopped doing so.

Sure, and Facebook's last two attempts were equally not particularly GDPR compliant. It's clear that "Questionably GDPR compliant" is not enough to stop Facebook attempting a scheme.
This is an incredible tool. I would love this for French.
You have no idea how unbelievably annoying it is to work in a company that doesn't a well defined architecture. Every "buzz word" service should be easily justified.

This is why I hate recruiters, I can't even tell you how many times I've had a recruiter call me saying they are looking for service XYZ. The same concept rephrased in my resume. I have to rewrite my resume just to satisfy these people? No thanks.
I learnt to code primarily by writing IRC bots for these groups + wrote an auto-trading FXP client in C++ that looked for pres dropping in top site channels, and automatically FXP couriered to other topsites.

I wish I'd know back then (13 years old) what I know now (39) in terms of even simple things like linked lists, linear programming, estimators, etc, could have dominated.

The "hardcore" in the scene would actually set up shell boxes and write a bunch of shell scripts to do auto trading. That also piqued my interest in learning Linux and Bash scripting.
This is a less extreme example, but my town uses its Facebook page as the primary means of reporting concerns (e.g. potholes and other road maintenance issues, parking exceptions).
This is really interesting! Instead of "here's how you are SUPPOSED to pronounce" any given word or phrase, you show how a bunch of native English speakers actually pronounce it.

Maybe everyone is wrong, but if your goal is to be understood then you'd be better mimicking what they do than just being technically correct. :)

For example, there's a street in the city I live in spelled "Guadalupe". Natives pretty much uniformly pronounce it GWAD-uh-LOOP.
Many local governments post things to social media sites instead of on their own infrastructure, so blocking access to these sites prevents people from these important communications.
This is an interesting observation, and a bit similar to mine:

- in job1, I redid the same thing three times (!!) using different tech stacks and/or different designs; got tired and found new job

- in job2 I was working on performance and tooling, so this was quite new; but after 2-3 years it became clear the app will go the same endless cycles of UI rewriting & refactoring, with things changing faster and performance degrading faster than I could improve it

- in job3 I'm in a senior role & platform team, building & ops-ing stuff; but most importantly the company is here to stay, and it builds new stuff; there's a very stable design system, and we keep innovating & keeping lights green, rather than doing endless brand refreshing.

Also a critical diff IMO: job3 is a b2b product -> focus is on making stuff work;

job1 & job2 were b2c products -> focus was on chasing new b2c customers (hence endless UI changes, lack of focus and vision)
Their existing contracts and focus should clue you more into their desired direction than an accessory that they can produce for consumers that is tangentially related to raspberry pis.

The pi foundations focus(be it intentional or just out of a desire to stay open) has been to have prototypes created with raspberry pis that go into production without replacing the raspberry Pi so that device manufacturers are locked into large long-term contracts.

The inability for consumers to find devices available and the odd io choices(IoT video devices like kiosks would benefit from the double ports rather than a single full size HDMI) are IMO the intention of the pi foundation. Their focus is on generating contracts and fulfilling them, consumer devices are secondary.

That's to say they've "forgotten what the pi is about" insofar as they've made choices to grow the business/contract side of the pi foundation more than the education and consumer availability
Sure you can move the goal posts, but just so we have a record of the actual history:

You proffered a point:
“ If Ford wants to invest in these plants or hire more people, they must hire them from the union. There is no competing, alternative union, or mechanism to hire non-union labor into this plant, thus making the UAW a local monopoly on labor supply for those plants.”

Which I proved incorrect because it’s simply not the case nor could it have been based on Michigans own laws (up until this year that is).
Michigan was a right to work state up until this year so yes Ford can and does hire non union which doesn’t even speak to its massive 3pp parts maker network which is largely not unionized and acts as another way to employ non union personnel.
You can say Ford can’t hire scabs but they do as do others:

https://labornotes.org/2023/09/scabs-deployed-gm-parts-distr...

https://theintercept.com/2023/10/10/uaw-auto-strike-stellant...

You can also say they can’t hire non union workers and yet even in the US only many ford employees are not unionized:
“ Ford has about 173,000 employees worldwide, about 86,000 in the U.S. Of the 86,000, about 57,000 are represented by the UAW. About 33% of Ford employees are UAW”
https://www.barrons.com/articles/ford-stock-uaw-gm-stellanti...

I’m not responding to your other “points” because they lack any form of citation. I was interested to see if there were actually union requirements to get a Ford job in Michigan and from my research I can’t see that and your claims fail to speak to that question in an substantive way beyond you espousing your opinion. I never made a claim about unions being good or bad — you imply value judgements in your conclusions but those are your own and without citations they are as useful as a hole in the head.
You can keep on making “logical” conclusions but they lack any substance because you can’t properly execute a coherent line of argument as you fail to support your previous claims even when given multiple opportunities to present a cogent case.
I guess “everybody knows” though is enough for your purposes.

Also your definition of monopoly in this case fails to actually support your point.
Here is an actual definition of a monopoly:
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/definition/monopoly

You miss the important “unique” qualifier to the product or services. UAW or any other union does not offer a unique product as labor is a fungible asset. In right to work states there is no singular unique provider of labor and therefore it is not a monopoly unless you can prove that one has to join a union to work at Ford which is not the case.
It's actually unknown whether they are actually women, lol.

Yeah, the idea had never occurred to me until now, I'm glad to hear someone else has already thought of this.

I wasn't thinking as much as identifying any single best revision, but utilizing more of a diff-like tool to identify the text/changes that remained most stable over time -- where a brand-new edit doesn't count for much, but the longer it stays around as other edits are made, the more trustworthy it presumably is.

I think the biggest problem comes as articles get rearranged and expanded -- a section gets split into two or three, something gets moved from one section to a more appropriate one, and so forth. Or heck, sometimes entire articles get split into multiple ones, or vice-versa. I'm not aware of any diff-like tool/algorithm that handles these situations well, to accurately track how the same information gets moved when it's not just a simple case of insertion.

The government is and always has been tightly involved in television, radio, and phone services. The first two were traditionally broadcast through the airwaves for anyone to pick up and listen to, and the latter is a tightly regulated public utility that unfortunately functions as a government-ordained monopoly. All three are widely regarded as part of the commons.

Twitter never has been treated that way, and is rapidly becoming more and more private and less and less a communal resource that is equally accessible to all.

Yes to all of the above, and airbrushed pictures in old magazines should have been labeled too. I'm not saying unauthorized photoediting should be a crime, but I don't see any good reason why news outlets, social media sites, phone manufacturers, etc. need to be secretive about it.
This may be easier to relate to:

I'm no expert, but it seems one prominent theory on why CO2 dropped around 1600 is that it's a result of Europeans killing so many indigenous Americans. The reduction in agriculture led to forests regrowing, giving a temporary boost to CO2 sequestration. The CO2 dip is referred to as the "Orbis Spike".

This seems to be one of the better results on the subject: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2015/mar/epoch-defining-study-pin...
ok - now define 'harass', and also tell me who gets to decide what is 'harassment' is and isn't - that is the crux of the problem.

Disagreeing with a stated position of a government official - loudly and strongly - is not harassment.
Where's the guillotine tweet? I can grant such imagery might be severe and perhaps distasteful to those of certain sensibilities, but I hardly find it any more extreme than say when unions have giant blow up "Scabby the Rat" balloon figures. And this is a public sector union, they are not straight up advocating for revolutionary class war for crying out loud.

> Intentions aren't consequences though. Some of the most well intentioned policies and regulations in Europe have the consequences of horrible tech salaries.

I just want to see some experimentation and innovation in an industry that has an avowed commitment to such values. If there are consequences, then we will at least have proven so empirically.

Yes but then there's the question of software support. Arm supports android which has a huge ecosystem. And there are way more linux and other obscure/niche OSes which support arm like raspbian. If there was an easy way to run arm or x86 code on risk-v like rosetta that could help, but arm still has much better support than risk v.

Presently I believe if you have a company making $1m profit and the company is owned by investors holding bits of paper classified as debt the whole $1m gets paid out. If they hold bits of paper classified as equity, 21% tax is deducted before paying out.

Investing in US enterprise is good but favouring one type of paper over the other is dubious. If anything you might think the government would want to favour equity holdings as that makes the whole set up more stable in downturns.

I think it's less about the practical use case and more about if there is an official government agency whose responsibility it is to make the public aware of dangerous events, that agency should not have the right to selectively choose who may or may not be able to access that information, based on the sole discretion of the police department's social media manager.

I think they'll catch up because libwebrtc is huge and can't take advantage of most of the existing browser protocol stack. WebTransport is a pretty thin layer over HTTP3, which already gets used much more often than WebRTC's SCTP-over-DTLS ever will. Not to mention the fact that it takes like two orders of magnitude less code to implement WebTransport than the whole WebRTC stack.
