> Whatever is happening in Washington, it doesn't sound like the president's opponents are going to try to stop him, for now. It sounds like this will keep going.

They are trying, but severely limited. The president has control over all 3 branches of government (including both halls of Congress).
I have been contemplating postgres hosted by AWS vs locally using SQLite with my Django app. I have low volume in my app, low concurrent traffic. I may have joins in future since the data is highly relational.

I still chose postgres managed by AWS mainly to reduce the operational overhead, I keep thinking if I should have just gone with sqlite3 though
Unfortunately, guidelines for effective meetings are rarely part of formal education or job training. Somewhere I saw a concise list of requirements that was something like:

1) Send out written agenda ahead of time

2) Every meeting should have some decision that is made

3) Everyone invited to the meeting should speak

4) Notes should be taken
I like how you made it into a proper shared map on Google. Happy to see someone make this into more of a product! Why did you stop maintaining it?

> If free speech has no limit, that means you can't prevent people from arguing against the end of free speech.

Correct, they can talk about it all they want but cant act on it.

> Like the 84% reduction in Twitter revenue prior to the election?

Yep, and if the majority of the world fully agrees that Twitter is in the wrong and is a horrible place then it will plummit further and cease to exist. The thing here is that there is a massive percent of the population that loves twitter as it is, and so it will continue as there are still enough people to justify the advertising.

> Musk sued the people who pointed out to brands advertising on twitter that their reputations were getting tarnished by what their content was getting associated with on Twitter.

He didnt. He is trying to and we will see what hapopens there. Personally I think his case will be thrown out but thats just an opinion.

> Number of times I've personally witnessed sales clerks and customer support teams not knowing their own products suggests this is one of those solutions that sounds easy but isn't.

I agree, I never said it was easy. In fact I said that the majority of the world will take the easy way out and not put the thought required into their reponses to things.
maybe they are encouraging users to ask the same questions, in order to increase cache hits and reduce load on their systems
Maybe we're disconnecting. Cookies are just a standardised way to communicate a small key/value set between client/browser and server through HTTP headers. It's not inherently (in)secure, sensitive, etc. There are zero things you can do with cookies that you cannot do without and there are no inherent differences in security, they're just very convenient if you're in HTTP world.

And yes what you said is exactly right; you're allowed to fingerprint a unique user and track data with that fingerprint as the sole unique identifier without any PII legislation (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) compliance issues. You just cannot store any information that allows linking PII data to that fingerprint in either direction. In other words, attribution to a random UUID that just happens to represent an anonymous user is not an issue.

Circling back to the original comment; there is no (good) argument against cookies if you're basically doing exactly what cookies are doing. Umami using it as a USP is, at best, a little odd.
Quantum Computers and Weird Aspects of the Sentient AI Problem (Part 1)
It could happen on accident, but to my knowledge killer whales have never done that to a human in the wild. Killer whales have most definitely attacked and killed humans while in captivity. It's also extremely obvious that it was deliberate behavior. Unless you work at SeaWorld, the risk is very low of this happening.
Agree. I don't find autocomplete in ChatGPT useful.
How to Deploy Static Site to GCP CDN with GitHub Actions
For the record, I wouldn't consider myself liberal or conservative using the US definitions. Probably more down the middle. But, I am a never Trump person, but even then I had a 'wait and see' attitude when he was first elected in 2016. Now I've seen, and I don't want any more of what he brings.

I have a lot of problems with both of them beyond hypocrisy, that was simply the big issue in this thread. And I do agree with your point. How can the left stick to some basic principles like following the law and still combat someone like Trump/Musk who ignore it at every turn. I really don't know what the answer is here, and it worries me that people will feel more and more trapped which can lead to violence.

I also think there could be some smart regulation around mass communication, but the problem is we have so few people in government who even understand social media. The average age in the senate is almost 65. The last two POTUSs will leave office in their 80s.

There is a new campain of bashing Russia following the latest political development.
It will pass. /s
I think it is pretty cool for the first time trying something like this.

It seems like chain of thought combined with search. Seems like it looks for 30 some references and then comes back with an overview of what it found. Then you can dig deeper from there to ask it something more specific and get 30 more references.

I have learned a shitload already on a subject from last night and found a bunch of papers I didn't see before.

Of course, depressed, delusional, baby Einsteins in their own mind won't be impressed with much of anything.

Edit: I just found the output PDF.
> It shows a heavy European bias

Can you please explain that a bit further? I don’t catch the connection you’re making between the conflation and being european.
Yeah, fair enough. Wikipedia has this, which I hadn’t found before:

> The terms come from London's Exchange Alley in the early 18th century, where traders who engaged in naked short selling were called "bear-skin jobbers" because they sold a bear's skin (the shares) before catching the bear. This was simplified to "bears," while traders who bought shares on credit were called "bulls." The latter term might have originated by analogy to bear-baiting and bull-baiting, two animal fighting sports of the time.

I have a reMarkable 2. It's better as a book annotator than a book reader, IMO. It's fine for my use case (reading during rest periods while at the gym), but I wouldn't use it as a full-time reader, as it can get quite slow and doesn't have very many eReader features.
Ah I see, yes it'd be pretty awesome to have Postgres be even more of a Swiss army knife of databases.
I’m not sure how thick that red line really is. I find it hard to believe that this IRS database is used strictly by the IRS and not shared with other agencies (whether in the intelligence community or otherwise). Frankly it doesn’t even matter - the NSA could plant somebody in the IRS and get access to it anyway.

Overall I agree with your premise. There are certainly some safeguards already in place. But even those aren’t foolproof (e.g. an IRS employee leaked 45’s tax returns to NYT). The data is collected and it’s indexed in an automated retrieval system. Any barriers to that will inevitably be circumvented.
I would only be in support of this if it were part of everyone's taxes being public as others have advocated: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/opinion/sunday/taxes-publ...

When a President publicly hangs his felony mugshot next to all the other paintings of the previous Presidents

he's announcing his identity and belief system and making his criminal past part of his future so it all becomes meaningless

Combined with this quote, expect people to be disappearing soon, actually he technically has already erased certain classes of people on paper, so physically next is not a big step from there.

That quote was made in week 4. There are over 200 more weeks to go.

What law is going to be too far when he's not running for re-election one way or another?
I don't see the comparison you are trying to make. Biden defined his entire political persona around centrism, bipartisanship, moderation, etc. He certainly made major mistakes (e.g. mismanaging the Afghan pullout, running for reelection); however, he didn't really display the cruelty or intolerance of different ways of life that is a core part of Trump's brand.
how much will they love it when their stuff starts breaking?
Because Musk has already given ample evidence of how wrong he is on multiple accounts.

It's on Musk to provide evidence for his extraordinary claims. So far that evidence has been in very short supply.
> "Liberal Zionism" used to be in vogue in Israel, which takes a more moderate view and criticizes the Israeli occupation while still arguing for an Jewish state, but I think it's gotten less and less popular these days, at least from what I tell from the outside, and a more extreme form has become the popular one again.

Another part of the issue is that especially among young people, words have lost their meanings. Everything is toxic, a genocide, sexual assault, rape, cultural appropriation, god knows what else - the room for nuances in discussion has been entirely lost because large parts of society lack the vocabulary to talk about it, 1984 says hello.

The combination of hyper-social media, ever shorter dopamine feedings / gamification and a complete lack of awareness for the importance of basic education and history are disastrous.
Is France doubling down? They started a bunch of projects and provided money, yes. Good IMO. One should research even improbable possibilities, say I. But they also evaluated the projects recently, and the results weren't good. Here's a nice writeup:

>there are not a lot of solutions

Not a lot but you pretty much always have the option of engaging with consulting. $$$ of course. If it's really a bug rather than some sort of fork, not too bad. Presumably the bug will simply be fixed, albeit prioritized. Otherwise not clear if your different use case will be maintained other than in maybe a customized way.

It is easier with open source though also albeit not a perfect solution if you're out of the mainstream.

That's my use case too. I don't want to maintain a VPS, just have some server available. Something fast and cheap which is maintained by someone else.

Do you mind sharing why you think so? Thank you.
ChatGPT voice is similar. I definitely doesn't have human level "they stopped talking" detection. I think they should have a stop word (e.g. "over" - like truckers on CB radios in the old days).
At the very least we need AGPL to become the norm.

The concept of free speech predates the US constitution or even its government.
As a history refresher: DOGE is part of the USDS, created by Barack Obama in 2014.

Dealing with PII was an overt part of their remit, as the Medicare system (written in COBOL) had substantial difficulties dealing with regulatory change, and it was to be modernized. As special government employees, they were 1) consultants not appointed through the regular process and 2) had widespread access to software systems and private data across the federal government. And yes, many of them were the age of current DOGE employees.

At its height, there were 700+ employees with varying levels of access like this.

Accessing PII is normal for federal contractors, even young ones. I worked on the maintenance database for the F-35 strike fighter when I was 23. There are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people through the federal system and contractors with access to information like this.

Your website is a little confusing because when I opened the link, the page shows the title and a link to the garden. I thought it was a 404 page. It'd be better if a part of the post showed up as well.

Either way, I enjoyed that post. You're correct about people not closing their accounts because of fear. I'm in the same position right now. I never got anything out of my account. I'm a freelancer and I can't even get past clients to leave recommendations on my profile. They'd rather send me an email with the testimonial for some reason. Also never got any opportunities from LinkedIn.

The FOMO is super strong because even as I write this, I'm not convinced about deleting my account...
Very wild guess
Maybe that will change. Germany certianly has capability to manufacture nuclear armements. The UK may rejoin if the situation gets dire enough.

Why not? Are you saying your computer doesn't need to know the IP address of any dns server in order to be useful?

What do you mean when you say that SLAAC is terrible? Especially when you control all the devices on the network, you are in full control of what SLAAC manages for you. Also, SLAAC is the only way to use the IPv6 Privacy Extensions.
Sinus rinsing is one of those things that gets recommended a lot without thought. For many conditions, it's great relief, but on the flip side, if you have e.g. inflamed sinuses or the like, it can make your condition considerably worse. As always, it's best to consult your doctor, because there's more nuance to human health than handy tips online would let on.

Faster than people realise. The CIA was surprised by suddenness and swiftness of the collapse of the USSR — yes, there were other predictions that it would collapse imminently, but such are made of every country and organisation all the time, of those who should have known best (the Russian government on the inside, the CIA on the outside), it was a surprise.

Neither do you, unless you redefined it to be the super narrow description that you gave. So you can freely be censored but keep believing you have freedom.

You will one day realize that they are all the same with only minor variation. you will lern to pick and choose what is important to you. You will pick something and only look back once a decade - long enough to you what works and have intelligent conversations about pros and cons with others with a decade in something else. Sometimes you will switch but there will be no hurry
As you point out, "honest mistake" can be used by sophisticated intentional aggressors to get away with their attacks.

For a long time, the advice was "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." but aggressors evolve to fit their surroundings. When the population largely follows this rule, it becomes a competitive advantage to fake incompetence.

Perhaps both malice and incompetence should be treated the same, especially regarding punishment, until proven otherwise. After all, robust systems are designed in such a way that a single mistake can't cause harm. If somebody fails to design a system so that multiple mistakes (how many depends on cost and severity) have to stack up, then he should be held responsible.
>An opportunity eventually arose to mention the long meetings to a more senior manager, who shared Palmer's concerns and promised to look into it.

One thing I learned about was "chain of command". I was not in the military, but in reality, at least in the US at a large company, "chain of command" always exists when you want to criticize your manager. You should try and find other ways of doing that.

Yes it stinks, but that is the way things are.
He is experienced. I didn't say he did or didn't do a good job there. My answer is a response to "he has no experience as an economist". It's not a response to what you are argumenting.
I think we’re all in agreement and the person you’re replying to is being sarcastic ;-)
Federal workers fall into two categories. Political appointees are the ones who are directly linked to the current administration and they can be hired or fired at will, but they’re generally senior level focused on strategy. An appointee would be figuring out how to implement the administration’s plan within the legal framework and perhaps negotiating with Congress for new laws or funding.

The bulk of the civil service are career hires who are not beholden to the administration. They’re hired on merit, not political loyalty, and they have specific duties to perform. They swear an oath to protect the Constitution, not the President, and there are laws governing their behavior: for example, despite the massive propaganda about wasteful or fraudulent spending, it’s actually a go-to-jail serious crime to spend money for things other than what Congress directed that money to pay for. That’s why it was such a scandal when Trump directed federal spending to his businesses during his first term and that Musk has so many conflicts of interest now because those rules are normally followed carefully. Similarly, when you hear pushback to DOGE demands for access to sensitive materials or systems it’s because the people who operate SCIFs or run those systems have spent their careers being trained on only allowing authorized access and in all previous administrations that followed the statutes and regulations for requesting and approving access based on need, not someone threatening to call an unappointed “advisor” so he can rally a mob on X against you.
I don't think so. Twitter before Musk had all kinds of TOS that obviously blocked speech that would be protected by the First Amendment. No-one is saying that Twitter used to be a free speech absolutist free-for-all before Musk took over. They're saying two things. First, that his actions don't match his stated intentions. Second, that he is heavily biased towards unblocking far right accounts.
It seems that for a lot of people, that source isn't reputable (e.g. they would want to see more than a screenshot a guy posts on his website to know the situation is as you described).
Yep, something like adjacency lists have solved a lot of dumb recursive queries/"graph queries" for me, usually because the graph doesn't change much and is just a few nodes deep.

Yes, but you do need some kind of intelligence to last a year as a non peronist in Argentina and getting the economy to turn around and prevent a hyperinflation.

Either way, this event is bad, he is either negligent or criminal, and the opposition has been looking for a motive to impeach him since he took power, I can't believe he gave it to them.
I'm saying crypto should be held to a higher level of scrutiny by everyone, and if you are the president of a country you should not involve yourself in crypto without thinking it through a bit.

You might disqualify yourself for running for office in the future if you want to continue to argue with me on this. </joke>
It _is_ possible to do some checks at compile time, but not for all programs. Or, you can check all programs, but only be _sure_ about your results on some of them. Or, you can add some constraints and force the programmer to write extra information so that you can make it work on more programs.

Overall, there's no free lunch: somewhere, someone will have to do some extra work.

Other useful invariants include some RAII idioms, Rust memory checks, resource usage (e.g. locks), etc.
