> We live in a world where the simple cell phone in our pocket contains so much complexity that it is beyond any 10 human minds combined to fully understand how the hardware, the device drivers, the OS, the app layer, and the internet all interact between each other.

Try tens of thousands of people. A mobile phone is immensely more complicated than people realize.

Thank you for writing it so eloquently. I will steal it.

Plus when someone dies, they're more likely to set "dead=1" or similar than to just delete all records about them immediately.

I mean, if there was a Truss-type response from the markets, I suspect the congressional Republicans might actually act to put Trump back in his box to some extent.
This is getting downvoted but yeah if you’re going to work somewhere, you shouldn’t promote competitors. At least let the market decide, I’d be unhappy if this was my business

Politics in general. Because everyone has an opinion, often based on their values rather than cold facts, and people do not like their values being questioned. The discussion is more civil than on other forums, but the difference is not night and day. Disappointing.
Indeed, when I wrote a C utility and just wanted to output its start, finish and run time, I spent MORE TIME THAN IT TOOK TO WRITE THE WHOLE PROGRAM to figure out how the whole date/time garbage works! This was a painful, maddening experience. As if this entire API was designed to drive you mad.

But I still love C anyway.
Most people I met when homeless didn't want the help the government offered. There's a direct conflict between people who lead and those that actually want to help.

Unfortunately, a lot of the homeless I knew were very proud, arrogant, angry, bitter and many other emotions that made it nearly impossible to get them to take care of themselves through any intervention.

And if people refuse to take care of themselves, they will always be in a state where they need others to step in. Once they become destructive to society, I don't think any expectation of mercy from leadership should be expected. That leads to the situations we currently see in some places today.

It's not the lack of shelter that's the issue. There's plenty of shelter and housing if you want it.
I mentioned some global accounts that are very generic, but I do follow some folks from my country (India) who share valuable content for my field of work.

Such content doesn't seem possible on other platforms. FB is dead here. Insta is only images/videos. Threads is a no-no. I don't know any alternatives as of yet where my network is active.
OpenBCI – open-source Brain-Computer Interfacing
Fascinating read. Those suggesting Mongo are missing the point.

The author clearly mentioned that they want to work in the relational space. Choosing Mongo would require refactoring a significant part of the codebase.

Also, databases like MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite have neat indexing features that Mongo still lacks.

The author wanted to move away from a client-server database.

And finally, while wanting a 6.4TB single binary is wild, I presume that’s exactly what’s happening here. You couldn’t do that with Mongo.
The whale must have been aware of the size of things it can swallow?

> Were those genocides really motivated by of a lack of religion or other factors like racism and authoritarianism?

You misunderstand what I said. I was refuting the idea that religion caused genocides, rather than claiming lack of religion caused genocides.

I think religion per se is too generic and varied to correlate with anything. Sometimes the lack of a particular religion or variant of a particular religion may either cause or oppose genocide - there is a reason, for example, that the Nazis wanted to replace Christianity with new religions, (Positive Christianity and new-paganism - both very different from the originals they drew on/pretended to be), consistent with their ideology.
Being down-voted is OK, but posts being flagged and removed for posting factual news is not.

You will need to define your threshold for standard of evidence. If you automatically disbelieve everything on doge.gov, then there is nothing one can do to convince you. You have chosen to shut your eyes.

Please note: I am not an American citizen. As for "rumours", when I was a junior developer working in a service company in Bangalore over 15 years ago, developing tax filing software for an American state, during a test run on live data, I filed bug-tickets for duplicate SSN, SSN's with folks over 150 years of age, obviously spurious unemployment claims, etc. All of them were closed and the contractor told my manager not to file such tickets. (I am really thankful I left that line of work)

These problems are actually very well-known. They really aren't "rumours". You can choose to put in a few hours or a few days of effort in talking to people and figuring this out yourself.
Although it sounds like keeping IPv4 is a reasonable choice in your situation, if you merge with another company (or otherwise connect your networks) that uses overlapping private IPs it will cause issues.

Baleen whales swallow a high amount of water (and whatever comes with it) and filter outwards, keeping the krill inside.
Very similar to PHP indeed!

PHP is also something I'd not advise anyone to use on a greenfield app unless you have really good reasons for doing so.

There are much better --also very conservative-- stacks available for free (and no, those are not JS based).

For instance: Kotlin, http4k, JTE/KTE (or kotlinx.html), SQLDelight, Postgress.
> That's clearly one of your ideological priors

But the “living constitution” is nothing more than imposing one’s ideological priors onto the document. I happen to think the crisis of a permanent bureaucracy that is ideologically divergent from the population is far more “dangerous” than anything else the country faces. If we are going to “pragmatically reinterpret” the constitution, that’s the challenge that such interpretation needs to meet.
do we know why?
Free speech in the US means they cannot make specific laws against proposing ideas, but a long history of legal cases does mean there are cases when you can be civilly or criminally liable if your words lead others to harmful actions

I see it a bit differently. Progressives tend to believe speech can have limits, and generally support private citizens and companies enforcing it through shame etc.

Elon touts being a free speech absolutist, but limits speech on his platform in a … whimsical … manner.
>It doesnt though, thats the point.

Not a Lawyer, but threatening to kill someone is not protected by free speech right?

>They keep listening to the hate speech

The definition of "hate speech" is unclear and a made-up word to make people feel bad for being angry -> Two Minutes Hate

>>The political purpose of the Two Minutes Hate is to allow the citizens of Oceania to vent their existential anguish and personal hatred toward politically expedient enemies

SF is the left wing version of the headline ‘nothing can be done about school shootings, says the only nation where this regularly occurs’.

And while it is a magnet for this kind of problem, San Jose and Los Angeles have similar issues.

Part of the problem being, they’re one of the easiest places to be/exist if you’re homeless. Not that it’s necessarily easy or pleasant, but compared to Chicago, New York City, or some random suburb? You bet.
The closest to what Twitter used to be is Bsky. The model isn't perfect and some of its features are still not quite there, but it has replaced my Twitter usage entirely. And they've managed the large user surge pretty well. I've seen some developers I follow who cross post getting more engagement on Bsky than X despite a lower follower count there.

Most of the people you mentioned wouldn't risk their money for something like moral values so they haven't left X. A large number of interesting, less self motivated people have migrated already.
That's alright. BTW, paulg is the founder of YCombinator.
It seems to me that time could run backward and it would not make any difference to an observer, and the universe could alternate between running backward or forward and that would be the same to us, cause and effects would be reversed but it would only be visible to an outside observer, that has somehow time running in a different direction.
It sounds like you’ve had your fun in the early years, married a woman you loved for over a decade, have healthy children, wealth and top of it of, you had an amicable divorce, something that is extremely rare nowadays.

Unfortunately, your experience does not match the reality of many men these days, divorce is often catastrophic for them, heck even dating is impossible now. I hope you recognize and appreciate your luck and previlage.

It sounds like you’re at peace, I’m genuinely happy for you and I hope the status quo remains.

> He does.

He doesn't. All he has shown is a list and claimed what he claimed. Based on that alone you're ready to expound a full theory spanning several pages of text.

And most of that text is trying to guess and to fill in the context. None of your guesses are correct until shown otherwise, and he hasn't shown anything except this list.

And yet we already know from his team's actions how reckless they are and how far from the truth are the many claims they make.
IIRC they give you a better revenue split or something of that nature if you only publish there
There's nothing inconsistent with people who don't call themselves "free speech absolutists" not being free speech absolutists.

There's a lot inconsistent with someone masquerading as a "free speech absolutist" whilst actually drawing the line in a different place, in this case a place which has all sorts of arbitrary new offences like references to the word "cis", ADS-B feeds, and parody accounts and whatever else has annoyed him recently whilst removing more posts at government request than his predecessors, but is mostly cool with racial hatred.
I totally agree with you. Except id pin it much less positively than you.
The goal is not to help “allies” but to make sure they don’t outcompete us. This is what the money was for. Just like any superpower did (you know the russian interference you all hated)
Sadly Libgen seems to have been down for the past couple of months, there is some discussion whether it will ever come back or not.
I'm quite a free speech guy, and one to expect companies to not enslave you, but it quite makes sense that a company will forbid you to speak publicly about their product or competitors.

Even if the guy says "my opinion", his post might be used by market analyst or random persons to make forecast about the company as they could consider that it leaks insider knowledge.

On the other side, what I find fun is the brain washing that this guy looks like to be suffering of:

I still hope Elon and xAI win. Yet......

It's very disappointing to me that a company and leaders who supposedly champion free speech and openness would try to fire a low-level employee over a clearly-labeled opinion that contains absolutely nothing controversial, but here we are.

He can't be serious, or seriously believing this bullshit. My best guess is that he is trying to lick ass hoping to be saved by his god...
Not so fun fact: Corporate Germany also uses week numbers and some paper pushers and some project managers have adapted, most nerds (incl. me) will never come to terms with it and have to look it up once a month. Also what do you mean by "all calendars" - the last paper one I owned I bought at an art fair in 2018ish ;)
It's surprising to that all comments (except a few) state that IPv6 is not hard. I'm not an IPv6 expert but I did spend time learning it (may be even more than I spent on IPv4 but with v4 I have more practical experience). I used v6 for a few years at home / home lab (and for a side project). I think IPv6 is hard - there is much more one needs to know to use it well than in case of v4. Any deviation from a happy path (a non-standard configuration / use case) is a pain (or at least it was 10 years ago, don't think it is much better now except now we likely have even more RFC to learn). Not used IPv6 recently so cannot name specific problems but I didn't enjoy working with it at all. Will do it again only if it will be well compensated.
> Why not, aside from the obvious observation that "atheists" are not as homogenous in their belief as, say, "Catholics".

Only if people are doing something because they are Catholics.

Atheist polemicists often treat the actions of any (supposed, in many cases) Christian as an objection to Christianity in general, which is just as nonsensical. That is what is objectionable in their argument.
Yet Canada should be the 51st state, Panama canal should be owned by the US, Greenland should be turned over to the US, Ukraine should just sign over 500B of rare earth mineral rights to US for nothing in return. Its not the end of US meddling, its the start of becoming an outright and corrupt bully without the thin veneer of democratic good guys they've tried to project before.

Appreciate your defense of me - that is the point I was trying to make :)

I would go into more depth, but I find there are a lot of people that just fundamentally have different views on economics XD
I guess it could be argued that it had been in the process of sinking for a longer time, but I don't know enough about the history of the USSR to assert that being the case
The park rangers empathic personal approach is interesting, she is working within a system not worth navigating as even that best case outcome is still a poor case outcome

> For him, “it was overwhelming,”

I’ve dealt with people that take 15 years to do some basic action because of something considered overwhelming. The only thing I observe is that you could literally start from scratch, the age of zero, and be competent in any field by this time

In this guys case, it took 7 months to get basic identifying paperwork regenerated, so that he can walk into one of those classic grifter housing projects

So many issues with that, masqueraded as a solution
> Free speech doesnt have asterisks.

Yeah it does, at least in America. You can't yell fire in a theatre and incite panic.

Also there is the paradox of tolerance.
Exactly my point. The only explanation possible is that left and right wing only serve one purpose: make sure the empire remains

How silly, he should instead be unconditionally fired for rating o1 above claude!

(My most recent comparison was giving them both a somewhat complex data structures problem in Elixir involving judicious use of persistent_term for large long-lived values; neither bungled it terribly, o1 gave a longer, more detailed giant response, but claude gave a much more readable and idiomatic module that I could actually use as a starting point.)
Is it a good thing though? It means it takes the same loong time until problems are noticed and reacted upon.
Makes sense. What other platforms do you know where we can get access to the network of entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, governments, and authors? I am considering text-based social apps only.
> Exactly my point.

You made no point at all.

> Relative number of technology unicorns headquartered in Europe would be a good start.

You seem a bit confused. "Unicorns" are characterized not by technology but by coming up with novel business plans that can disrupt incumbents. The likes of Google and Apple are tech companies, but Uber, NetFlix, AirBnB, etc have tech as a secondary support role to what actually drives the unicorn status.

More nuanced, what characterizes a unicorn isn't even a successful business plan. Being able to fool a fat wallets investor to dump cash on your idea is the key aspect that makes and breaks a unicorn, and tech is an afterthought.

> Or number of bleeding edge tech industries you'd say "Europe" is leading (e.g. space, military, nuclear, AI, etc)

France is the world's second largest arms exporter in the world, ahead of Russia.

In the top 10 list of world's arms exporters, 5 countries are EU members.

Not bad, for a region that has offloaded it's arms industry to the US.

Also, does the US have anything that comes close to ASML? Perhaps a TikTok clone or an app to rent apartments counts more as tech than it, perhaps?
Oh, there's real music that's as scatty and uptempo as this from the region! My gateway to it was encountering a Romanian/Serbian musician called Benny Sarbu on YouTube who plays really fast accordion and synth pieces like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plmVGVUFUJw .. his sound basically inspired my prompting. I wanted something that sounded like what he's playing but with drums.
Go make a brand new Twitter account and check how "free" speech is.

Immediately you get one very specific "sect" of free speech.
That's what Putin thought at the beginning of the three day war. Not surprised if Trump thought so too.
there could have been allocated a prefix to ipv6 that would contain the entire ipv4 space, and then all ISPs could have simply translated between at the edge, which would have made it possible for all normal consumer/company devices to only carry an ipv6 stack

I didn't know that feature existed until I saw this. Downloaded all my books last night and now I'm able to switch ecosystem - an option I didn't think I had and probably never would have tried if they hadn't removed it.
Also, Stack Overflow regularly came with multiple solutions and comments on each solution discussing drawbacks and alternatives. I've learned a lot from those.

If you are confident this is the case then a smart person would realise that complaining about the meeting being a waste of time is both true and likely to have significant blow back on them.
You seem to have completely missed what I was saying.

Journalists get suspended from social media platforms for doxing all the time.

These events are not newsworthy, and wikipedia articles are not written about them.

The problem isn't the content of this article, it is that the article exists at all. It only exists because wikipedia editors apply different notability thresholds to one side of politics than the other.
That's not how capitalism works because the between the companies and the customers is a Mismazch in power and information.

That's why governments make rules to protect those with less indormation and power.

According to your logic cyberbullying is just free speech.

Should I wish for you to by cyberbullied, so you see first hand that free speech has limits?

And don't forget that many free speech apologetics say that free speech doesn't mean free of consequences. At this point it's clear that for most people free speech doesn't exitst because they censor their posts if say fear consequences.
The JVM based devices came years later. This was around 1998, with the 386 based blackbery pager that could only do emails over Mobitex, no phone calls. It even looked like a pager. At the time, phones were not so dominant, data switched over mobile only existed on paper, and two-way paging looked like it had a future. So we totally killed the crude 2-way paging networks that were out there. And RIM successfully later made the transition to phone networks. Wasn't till iPhone and android that RIM ran into trouble.
In my own personal 3D game project I did the same thing, and then thought it seemed strange so I changed it back. Now I wonder if I have experienced this many times before in games and just never noticed it, and it only seemed strange in my own project because I was hyper-aware of it.

But here continued fractions are used to progressively generate approximations to the true real number. So you have no control over denominator and as you mentioned repeated division is necessary for most numbers. In comparison, digit generation approach can be tailored to the output radix (typically 10). Division still does likely happen, but only in the approximation routine itself and thus can be made more efficient.
