I doubt the headline. The type of person attracted to live in the “inexpensive” cultural wasteland of the Midwest or the regressive, racist south is on average less talented than my peers in urban tech centers like the Bay Area. There might be a loss in the “low cost, (relatively) lower skill” sector of the market.

> I assume they get paid somehow for “submarine” or PR articles

Submarines aren’t paid for directly, particularly not at reputable publications. They take advantage of journalists’ desire for convenience, not revenue.
What moral significance does that have? Most of the same people who do nothing but bring out the "but they didn't condemn Hamas" trope have never cared about what the IDF has done to Palestinian civilians. Does that mean the rest of us should not care about Hamas crime or ignore its victims? Of course not, right?

You can't seriously believe that responding to criticism of the undeniable indiscriminate slaughter of civilians with "but a lot of the people protesting our actions have never indicated they condemned the attack against us" appears to the rest of us as a reasonable or credible moral claim.

> if you can imagine a world where it takes users less effort in setting up their twitter account to get the same quality output

What I am failing to understand is idea that "quality output" is a measurable metric in any meaningful way. The dimensionality of this metric would be almost as big as the number of people you have in your network, so in the end you are just trying to solve an infinite customization problem.

> can cause some unnecessary strife and result in the rather silly situation of being in violent agreement.

Or perhaps it is a good way to illustrate that the strife is actually necessary and should be embraced and seen as a natural consequence of any group of people who are trying to make sense of their internal worldview and how it fits with the real world?

There is no place in the real world where people "connect and form bonds" by following a strict protocol and have all their interaction methods designed. Every attempt at crating those end up with a system that feels forced and boring, like speed dating, town hall meetings or those ridiculous college assemblies where they need to have a mediator to constantly remind everyone what they should and should not do.

Conflict and strife is not a problem to be removed away. If you succeed at doing that, you'll end up removing an important part of what makes us human. What we need is to have better mechanisms to deal with conflict and strife, and I really don't believe that the way to go is by throwing tech designs around.

>Clever how censors have convinced people that they are the good guys

It's not that clever; they control all the information and ideas that a significant fraction of the population are exposed to, it'd be surprising if they didn't manage to paint themselves in a positive light.
Because there are two kinds of people.

(1) People who have actually worked in large tech / engineering companies, and implicitly understand that 'CEO' is a analogy for (the organization)

(2) People who have no idea how the sausage is made, and need things simplified down to one person

The former aren't misdirected, because they know the game. And the latter probably couldn't wrap their heads around the truth, even if it were explained to them.

So I'm not sure anyone who could plausibly understand otherwise is confused by the hero worship.

Except for new graduates... they're probably misunderstanding.
Funny you say that because Eksi Sozluk is the probably the only mainstream social platform to have site moderation logs open to all its users. There's a link to it under every page on the site. See it for yourself: https://eksisozluk1999.com/modlog

No other popular social platform has this level of transparency. Not Twitter, not Reddit, not Facebook. How did they prove they have moderation to Turkish government? How do they not get banned?

Do you care about what's right or fair, or do you just believe in something and want to justify your beliefs in whatever means necessary?

You can get quite far by piping to other tools and/or using DSLs. pivoting can almost certainly be done by the luau support in qsv (or `vnl-filter`, for instance). Summing and grouping is something that `datamash` does well (or qsv luau probably, or `vnl-filter --eval`). Adding a column once again can be done with luau or `vnl-filter`.

Would you be more likely to use this tool if it had even more stuff in it requiring reading even more documentation? That's a genuine question.

What do you mean by "downloading maps directly from OSM"? OSM is a database.

If it is downloading rasterized images from the web site, then the difference is that Organic Maps is a vector mapping app.

This is related, but different. A lot of San Franciscans have been pitched anti-science bogus economics around development causing higher prices. (It’s not true [1].) They vote against more housing not because they think they’ll soon be rich enough to afford it, but because they’re afraid of getting priced out.

> If countries are allowed to assert extraterritorial jurisdiction, anyone running a website might need to know and obey the laws of nearly 200 countries.

Yes, that's how it works. Specifically, the common argument that applies to most companies (incl. Rumble), is that you're trading within that country if anyone from that country is either paying for your product/service, or making money from your product/service; and therefore you essentially need to function as (if not actually legally have) a per-country corporate subsidiary amenable to the laws of that country, if you want to continue doing that.

And sometimes it's even worse; for at least the US and Canada, companies trading with people living in these countries have to know and follow the laws of the state or province their customers live in, when serving those customers.

These are mostly simple things like tax codes, yes; but sometimes it's things that are far more arcane — for example, Quebec prohibits promotional first-period pricing that automatically transitions into regular pricing (they consider this a predatory practice.) Companies that advertise promitions in Canada often have fine print that says "offer not valid in Quebec" because of this.

This tangled mess of required region-specific logic is, by and large, the moat of e-commerce platforms and payment processors. It's why even large e-commerce services like Steam, that build all this logic internally for most countries, will still integrate with payment processors like Stripe or PayPal — those services are made options to cover the long-tail of countries they don't want to learn and maintain regional rules for.

It's also why many companies don't bother to actually sell into every market; and instead allow companies that specialize in "partnering with foreign companies to sell their products into our own domestic market that we understand well" — a.k.a. importers — to do that for them (and skim off some of their margin in the process.)

I suspect this is the 200th case of random crap breaking he's dealt with this year, and he's had it. I know I have. It's why I try not to use Node.js, and why I install every Python app with its own venv, and why I have 6 different versions of Python (including 2.7) in my home directory.

I miss backwards compatibility and the respect it shows for users.
In my OSM career, bike-traveling the world, I have added POIs in all kinds of unlikely places in the developing world. But a real challenge is adding more than just the indication that there is, for example, a shop there. It’s hard to add a name= tag when the shop has not hung up a sign with a name. It’s hard to add an opening_hours= tag when the shop has not posted opening hours, and even if I ask the owners, they might say hours are totally fuzzy. Such clear information is largely a feature of the developed world.

In some parts of urban Latin America, the challenge in adding POIs is that it is ill-advised to slowly, aimlessly walk down the street with your phone, because it could get snatched.
Unless it's censorship [1] they don't like, in which case they call it book-burning. And we all know who burned books, don't we?

[1] The bar to be called that can be as low or high as needed. Book publishers, online stores, credit cards, and social media platforms banning a person can be just "freedom of association", but not giving government support to a work by placing it in school libraries is censorship. You can take a guess at how many books that Amazon won't sell are on school library shelves. Yet that's not censorship.
Hahaha. Bicycles will (justifiably) get banned from suburban streets before this happens.

With regards to businesses, very few use PCs older than 8 years old and if that is the case, they likely dont care about EoL either.

Thank you.

Yes they do, but those people aren't buying new $90k trucks. They aren't driving the marketing department of a billion dollar company. Let's be honest here, they're buying old wrecked stuff and fixing it up.

If you go shopping for these new trucks, really, they're selling them to ranch owners, construction company foreman, lineman, etc. They're sold in trims like "King Ranch", and platinum. You can't get all the coal rolling crap at the dealers. They aren't connected.

It would be like conflating the street racing scene with what features Honda was adding to the new civic. They're just world's apart. Anyone remotely associated with these cultures knows that.

They haven't though, at least in the eyes of the law, because they haven't been convicted. Furthermore, I can't seem to find a complaint from the DoJ (presumably because they settled), so it's plausible that they really haven't seen any evidence from the government.
It is not. You’re used to countries with strong law and order. Countries where this doesn’t exist, free speech often leads to devastating results.

> Banning opinions have never worked ever and it will never work.

It absolutely works. There’s a reason Nazi propaganda is banned in Germany.

Edit: Before everyone just points to communist states as what happens when you have censorship, you also need to acknowledge the extreme violence that happens when speech is unrestricted in every case. For example Rohingya genocide was fueled by unrestricted “opinions” on the internet.
https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-...

Besides, some form of restrictions on speech absolutely exist everywhere in the world. People look at censorship as either complete freedom or Soviet Russia, but in reality middle ground does exist.
> Well yes, but what if they support the initial terror attacks?

Even steel manning your position and assuming most of the women and children being killed (and worse) by Israel cheered the attacks (which we have no evidence is true) , no, actually, you aren't justified in massacring people just because they took pleasure in an evil thing that happened to you.
I upvoted you because you are right.

Yes, arguably there is a bit more press freedom in the US and it's not repressed as hard and brutally as in Russia/China. In the US, soft repression mostly does the job: lobby-ism, buying up media or ruining journalists' careers for doing their job.

And when it doesn't, they can make up a false case and then become as brutal as their Russian/Chinese counterparts.
Go has a lot of lower level internal implementations of things that unsafe code like this serves as a thin shim for. It’s an almost zero-cost abstraction to use such a builtin.

I’m not saying it’s good: it just is what it is. It’s silly: but so is most of go. I’ve worked with this language for several years now: I don’t like it at all. It presents a facade of simplicity, but has all sorts of hidden issues that affect performance and behavior in surprising ways.
I came up with a term for the type of argument OP is making 'Astro-Gasing'

Astro-turfing/Gaslighting at the same time:

"The act of one or many to feign as though they dont care, and there is nothing to worry about, or what one can do - so just go along with it, when eventually the truth is revealed that there was in fact something to worry about - the astro-gassers stood to benefit from your complacency." Whether Thomas realizes it or not - he is in this class.

Further, there is an entire new city being bought-up, planned and developed in the greater Bay Area as a new tech-city. I 100% gaurantee you, it will be riddled with AI 'living augmentations'... its being built by the technorati in SV. It will be interesting to see how that builds out.
First time I encountered someone rolling coal was when I was driving next to one in my Miata. I didn’t really know what was going on and thought he had an engine problem or something. I made sure to stay away from him since I was in a Miata with the roof down and didn’t want to breathe the fumes. But the guy in the truck seemed to try and stay close to me. I thought I was probably imagining things. But I later came across a post somewhere that people who roll coal sometimes target specific cars (like Miatas). Not sure why.
For every person with a new diesel pickup that deletes the DPF & SCR equipment, there's about forty class 4-8 trucks thatr 30+ years old, in questionable tune, and polluting far more...legally.
Did BD get significant traction on PCs anywhere? AFAIK, nobody even bothered producing PC games with Blu-ray discs well into the PS4/Xbox One era. Instead at best you got enough DVDs to hold the game or at worst a token DVD with just the installer.
I got curious about quantum computers so I ordered and read (most of) Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary Edition.

It pretty much proved to me that quantum computing is at best 100+ years away or at worst a pipe dream fantasy. Until decoherence at scale is solved there is no way quantum computing will be useful beyond current computing abilities. There is not even a hint that this problem will be solved anytime soon.
> Right because their anti-competitive practices prevent me from using the services I pay for the way I want to.

There’s a lot of performance to gain when you’re allowed to run an engine dirtier so they run them clean during the tests. Then when they get out in the real world, they run them at “higher performance” levels that might mean better fuel economy, that might be more horsepower, that might be a smoother, running engine or it could be more durability.

Full title was too long: "Shares in Chinese gaming giants tumble as the CCP imposes strict new regulations and spending limits, alongside a ban on login bonuses and 'luck-based draw features' for minors".

I linked to the PCGamer article instead of the Reuters report because it had additional information and helpful context for people not already familiar with the industry.

Yeah, you can fingerprint by using fonts on canvas. The are oh so slightly differently aliased. If i recall correctly.
Yes that is how it works. If you want your website to be available in a country, you need to follow local laws. Otherwise, they can shut you down.

It is different in terms of enforcement for someone running a server in their apartment and a corporation. And it depends on the law broken. If you’re running a piracy server in Haiti, the US government can decide they want to shut you down. But if it’s something minor, the government will just ignore you. Companies are different because they’re easier to target when it comes to enforcement.
Taking a quick look at Tampa, at least one thing I'm noticing that I don't see in others, is that there's a significant focus on the FIRST competition, which gives the maker space a continued source of involvement and recruits every year.

Similar competitions (solar car, concrete canoe, pinewood derby, hackathons, yearly DEFCON attendance, 4-H robotics, Zero robotics, INTEL/GOOGLE/Microsoft/ThermoFischer science fairs, math olympiads, science olympiads) might be reasonable draws for other maker shops.

I am not the expert and humbled by all the experts in this thread.

But I wanted to say that when I looked A/B testing few years ago I started off with this book.

And somehere down the line he will introduce the Beta/Binomial method for A/B testing.

In my (again humble) understanding the benefit of doing this in the Bayesian way is both that you can actually get an understandable answer, but also that the answer does not have to be the final result you can continue by adding a loss function for example.

As comments in the first link suggest, the project emphasizes privacy, and it would have to be done in a privacy-respecting way.

> "In new research, Stephen Billings and Adam Soliman find that investor purchases led to a decline in property values for nearby homes, almost exclusively in Black neighborhoods, as well as an increase in crime and reduced political participation and property maintenance."

This statement feels very much like correlation to me. The true causation is that these purchases become rentals; rentals is the cause.

I'll paraphrase the idea behind this (as read in Matt Desmond's "Evicted"): Neighborhoods with higher "churn" have less stability. Less stability / more turnover becomes a breeding ground for sociopolitical ills (e.g., crime, less voting, etc).
