> The patriot act was supported by everyone when it became law.

I was at the time a US citizen, and I thought it was moronic authoritarian bullshit. It was basically written by taking every obnoxious proposal that various cops and spies had been having trouble getting passed, shoving them all in one document, and rushing it through unexamined. In response to essentially no surprising new information, at that.

... and lots of other people said that.

I'll give you that the majority of you supported it, and that the people in Congress (who tend to have a personality type with a certain kind of blindness) supported it. "Everyone" didn't support it.
Airlines seem to have a policy of passports need to be valid (not expire) for six months after the trip.

Our daughter was going overseas and we had to get her passport renewed because it would expire 3 months after she would have gotten home. The country was fine with that but there was a chance that she would show up at the airport and the airline would not allow her to board because it was less than 6 months.

If the airline lets them fly and they're rejected, the airline has to get them back and the airline doesn't want to risk that.
> I would guess that the association to Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong was intentional but he just said that for plausible deniability.

Yeah, I mean "Every Chinese citizen has a Little Red Book in their pocket!" is pretty compelling for a social media app.

It's not necessarily political beyond that, but the connection is obviously there.
I don't currently think this is a convincing argument that the person should be mocked.

Where did the assumption about the loyal husband come from? (It seems to be presuming the cause and fault of the divorce, and rest is arguably built atop that.)

By "half his money", was "half the family's money" meant? (This could just be a way of phrasing, but it can also sound like prejudice towards the matter.)
Their biggest competitor is China, who likes to drop their boosters on Chinese villages. Understandably, the villagers don't complain about this too loudly.
Placeholder to say I still have responding to this comment on my to-do list. I've read your paper, but still have to formulate a response.
At the level of writing a program to simulate the universe as we see it, ideas like classical gravity (see Penrose) would probably work.
>Speaking anecdotally, this doesn't really ring true for me. I see lots of pro-Palestinian content on Facebook and Instagram, ranging from the sincere to clear disinformation/propaganda. I have friends who post frequently in support of Palestine with zero repercussions.

Naturally there is no overt censorship on FB/Meta, but in the wake of October 7th there was a clear difference in what kinds of content was being lifted by the algorithms on both platforms. I think, save for Bella Hadid, you would rarely see "organic" pro-palestine content with millions of views on Instagram, while it was less censored on TikTok.

Human Rights Watch even did a study on it: https://www.hrw.org/report/2023/12/21/metas-broken-promises/...

We actually still use OSE on my team believe it or not. The project started in 1997, so OSE was a great choice for container structures / string handling / etc.

We are re-factoring OSE usages to use standard library features as we go along. But the project is huge with a very small team; hence why we still use it.

Between let’s encrypt and Caddy defaults, SSL termination is easy these days and cloudlfares insistence on doing it for me has turned me away from their products. I gather that reading the logs is part and parcel of their product, as the gatekeeper to high traffic sites they need all the signals they can get for what malicious traffic looks like.

I don’t think it requires a conspiracy, it’s just a market demand for such a product
A music album which gives an hour of entertainment might be distributed in lossless form at a size of 300 MB or so. A similar length TV episode could be between that and 1 GB. Podcasts are usually way lower quality and much smaller.

A lot of people who had large image collections (like myself) online struggled with revenue relative to cost circa 2012, I saw a lot of sites I respected go down, though we did see some new style social sites such as Pinterest, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. Somehow YouTube was doing much better in terms of revenue/cost with video.

Compressing images for the web is not at all trivial, I over-compressed a few million images and really regretted it. When I post to social now I use Photoshop's "(Legacy) Save for web" which has a nice slider for the quality level and find I can get images I take with my Sony to look like they came from a pro camera between 80kb (small flower, blurry background) to 800kb. I see huge splash images on blogs that are smaller, they make a good first impression, look close and the blocking is awful.

It can be assumed that Microsoft in first place maintains Github for the hidden purpose of harvesting product ideas from the free work of dozens of thousands of software engineers not on their payroll. And most open source and free software developers are naive enough to use that platform to unknowingly feed that purpose. There is no free lunch.
The Hard-core History podcast had a very similar exchange.

Cue a million responses just like yours showing how it just isn't possible.
Certainly it was the most common for me (also California public school). That does not mean I would not bring up the physical violence as the first item in the list! It's the one least open to interpretation.
Yeah, this shit is why I was hesitant to dive into the topic. You've made several leaps of logic here that I don't feel like debunking or discussing further, and I'll note that you've conveniently forgotten to defend the most controversial part of his statement – that the engineered virus supposedly curves its lethality away from Ashkenazi Jews as well, which would imply that that group also had something to do with its manufacture.
1. Having spare cash around is important to be able to acquire necessities in case of a temporary failure of electronic banking.

2. Making a 3000 euro cash transaction in this day and age is suspicious and we'd like to know about it if it happens to ensure everything is above-board.

I don't see the absurdity. They're not saying don't have cash, they're saying don't use cash for large purchases but keep some around for necessities. Even if you have 10k stashed under your bed in case of ~situation~, you're unlikely to be making a 3000 euro purchase in an emergency situation.
The main benefit most people see right away is the Pydantic integration & it requires less boiler plate for basic API's. Ninja is essentially FastAPI + Django.

I prefer Ninja over DRF, but I know plenty of orgs who still love their class based DRF views as once you are over the (significant) mental hurdle of understanding all the abstraction there, it does give you the common CRUD type operations on your models "for free".

I will say: Tiktok is very popular in many countries other than America. Forcing a company to sell its entire business just to continue operations in one country seems flawed, even if the US constitutes a major share.
> be damaged, it's your god given right to do it.

Just like it’s the “god given right” of the organization running the server you want to connect to to boot you from it for whatever reason they want to. Or do you disagree with that?

And you are free to do whatever even in most (AFAIK) games that use have anticheat software and allow you to turn it off. You just have to stick to single player mode which I assume makes “cheating” less fun.

Anyway what right do you have to deny anyone’s god given right to deny anyone the right to install software (even one that runs in the background and verifies/checks the memory of other processes) they chose to? After all it’s their computer..

yea, i was talking to one of the guys creating a coupon code finder from web scraped coupons alone about this. they seemed pretty confident to it not being a problem though

my own approach is that crowd sourcing coupons has the potential to a much larger set of coupons and websites, and so it can possibly be more useful in a larger number of scenarios. i have already had some uploads that otherwise wouldnt be supported through web scraping alone. rn i think its most important that i work on scalability of that i think.
> do you see the difference of "government schools" in contrast to curricula elaborated by democratically elected boards? especially in a country with proportional representation, which reflects into said boards?

I don't think it makes much difference. Even if we grant for argument's sake that the people elected to school boards are likely to represent the majority of the people entitled to elect them, why should my children be fed the majority view just because it's the majority?

> also the controversy is built into the curricula. "these are the positions, discuss"

Presumably that doesn't happen with every topic. What is presented as factual, and what is presented as opinion, is significant and necessarily reflects a worldview.

By saying "here is the pro-X argument, here is the anti-X argument, discuss", and then stopping there, you are necessarily teaching that X is something opinion-based and non-factual, or at least too trivial to matter. And I, as a parent, may think that X is factual and important. So somebody's views have to win out - mine or someone else's. There is no neutrality anywhere in reality.
About 1/3 of Americans use TikTok.

When it comes to *restricting* rights (not growing them), it's very concerning that such a large percentage of people can _not_ want something and still have it forced upon them.
"Obviously, this is not a tech story,…"

In a way it is a tech story. All historical manuscripts and artworks together with notes and other metadata (provenance info—past owners, catalog lists, sales prices and dates and auction labels, etc.)—should be scanned in the highest quality/resolution then digitized and the data properly archived.

We shouldn't have to wait for disasters like this to occur before we act. Important and irreplaceable books and works of art have been lost many times throughout history from the Library of Alexandria to WWII to the Florence flood† of 1966, and so on.

Protecting valuable information should be on everyone's mind. With those earlier cultural disasters there's at least some excuse in that reproducing backup copies was essentially impossible given the quantity of works, lack of resources, backup repositories, etc.

Today, however, things are very different. High quality scanners and cameras are everywhere and there are even specialist automatic book scanners available like the ones Google and the Internet Archive use to digitize books, they do everything—scanning, automatically turn pages and produce digital copies including complete integrated PDFs of the book.

Perhaps these disastrous fires and the loss of Schoenberg records will prompt others to start scanning their artworks and documents.

I’m ded
Counterpoint here, I'm 32 and would have to disagree on the complimentary piece.

In my group of friends, the reels/shorts crowd have eased off on keeping up with the latest fads/memes. Its similar to the old meme cycle of them starting on 4chan and some filtering down to Digg/Reddit, you end up with them being watered down or receive them extremely late in the fad cycle.

Reels have a few problems, the biggest one is randomly getting served gore/death videos. This has never happened to me on tiktok. I feel like (cant substantiate this) reels pushes sex/thirst content more than tiktok does. The final one is the actual social aspect of tiktok vs reels, the comments and interactions on reels are very abusive and spammy compared to tiktok.

I do agree with you about RedNote being a fad, its artificially inflated but its possible the astroturfing of "interaction" will lead to a sustainable level of organic/real interaction with the app. IG is not great for communities.

The effect of 25% inflation over the last five years is that what used to be definitely acceptable ($8000) is now an amount to be reported and questioned ($10000).
As another product of the British 'education' system, this is all very familiar.

If you're interested in some content that really helped me understand why I hated school so completely, I recommend "Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling" by John Taylor Gatto, and "Free to Learn" by Peter Gray. Peter Gray also has a very nice blog called "Play Makes Us Human" at https://petergray.substack.com/

As a parent of a toddler, deciding on schooling options is one of the most serious decisions I'll have to make with my partner over the coming years and it terrifies me. Home schooling is a very attractive option from my perspective, but only due to lack of alternatives that offer the sort of nurturing and positive environment that I want my child to have.

> Whatever your criteria for the term "rare", that is a huge number of kids.

It is! When I go to the school to pick up my child, it is shocking how many have overtly visible challenges, never mind those who don't present to someone just casually walking in the door. It is rare, but rare is still a lot of people in large populations.

I live next door to Michigan and 3% of the students have their own personal assistant in school for the schools to be able to cope to their severe challenges, and, by accounts of family who work in that industry, that many more should have an assistant but there isn't a sufficient workforce to fill those roles. So that is around 6% of the students, give or take, right there who aren't really a good fit for being in schools. Used to be that they would have been dumped into institutions and never step foot in school, but that's not socially acceptable anymore.
> Education? You probably mean repeating exercises in rote? You likely mean memorisation? That’s not education.

Funny enough, in the US, most states changed their methods of teaching (especially math) 10-20 years ago. And facebook is still filled with parents (although probably mostly grandparents) bitching about not understanding "common core math" without trying to understand it, and expressing how they learned via rote memorization and that is what we should use instead.
This is only for Starship testing and should go away as an issue after a few more Starship tests.

This is only for Starship testing. The issue should go away very soon, after at most a few more Starship tests.

My paranoia was cemented by the book When Google Met Wikileaks. Silicon Valley types do not have to be coerced to share data with 3 letter agencies, they have aligned incentives to ensure American dominance. Which is fine with me, as an American, but I won’t pretend there’s some rivalry where Cloudflare won’t comply without a court order.
Just a high level comment on GOG, I am immensely grateful to them for existing and for sticking so strong to their principles against DRM, and for maintaining great customer service. I have bought a lot of games from GOG and have been very happy. As an exclusively Linux user, I also appreciate how well GOG works with Lutris et al and that they aren't making life harder for those devs. I love the offline installers and I deeply appreciate their availability.

I'm not a big gamer but after watching the industry and Linux/open source in general for many, many years, I'm more convinced than ever that it's the gaming community who will save general purpose computing (that's also a nod to Valve for everything they've done for Linux as well, which has been major).
If you also offload rendering and stuff like occlusion culling to the server it might actually work.

Wouldn’t be a great experience though. Especially not for a competitive game.

I think the idea is that it’s a forum for programmers and you can probably self serve some solution (whether that’s using a plugin, custom style sheet, making your own, etc).

Eminent domain is a thing. You can absolutely be forced to sell your house to make way for a public project. Hell, after the Kelo decision, you can even be forced to sell it for private benefit.

“Should get paid less” is the obvious value judgement from the employer’s perspective. Nothing subjective about it if we assume self-interest.

I'm a huge supporter of public education. I think it's one of the most important things for the government to fund.

And, unfortunately, that's part of what's moving me towards homeschooling my child. We've not 100% decided on it yet. However, we are on the brink.

The issue we have is our school is underfunded and our child has special needs. Their day in class, from what we've observed, is primarily just daycare with no actual schooling. Even though they are on the border of being severe, they have no interaction with their peers which is a major reason we wanted them in school in the first place. The end result is they are spending a very large amount of time watching youtube or sitting in a corner.

The issue is our school district and our state does not want to fund public schools. They want to find ways to send money to private schools. The end result is the salaries for everyone involved are pitiful. Everyone that deals with my kid at school works 2 jobs. Some of them are making more money at mcdonalds than at school. And, surprise, the end result is even if they want to find staffers they can't find them.

Our district further bans parents from volunteering. So even though my wife is a SAHM, she can't lend a hand in my child's school to make up the staffing problem and improve my kid's education.

All of this has pushed us towards wanting to homeschool. Which really sucks because I don't think that's the ideal education for my child. I worry that we'll have gaps in the education we try to give them. I worry that they won't get to socialize with any peers. I worry that they will ultimately get left behind. But school isn't providing what we want.
ByteDance has been aware that this was likely to happen for years, and legislation was signed in April 2024, giving them over six months to sell. There's nothing rushed about this at all. ByteDance is playing chicken, and they're looking ever likelier to lose this game.
