Yes, you are right. I believe tagging significantly reduced the chance of seeing the post in your feed, so it was similar in effect.

I know some of those fact checkers. They are career journalists and the bar to tag a post as disinformation is extremely high.

To tag a post, they need to produce several pages of evidence, taking several days of work to research and document. The burden of proof is in every way on the fact checkers, not the random Facebook poster.

Generalizing this work as politically biased is a purposeful lie.

In my mind, this strongly constrasts with the words [0] of WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg. He says they want to own roughly 5% of the WordPress market, and instead of growing their share of the pie, grow the pie itself.

What legal reason prevents AWS from enforcing its terms of service, to which Parler has agreed? This is a simple question that I feel is ignored by any of the "censorship" arguments.

It's amazing how arbitrarily lines are drawn in this thread. I'd be eager to see people that disapprove AWS's actions what they would say in the following situation:

1) Parler banning some of its own users for trolling.

2) Their own employer/company banning people that use it to distribute child porn.

3) A utility company disconnecting users that continuously disrupt its electrical grid.

Of course you'd be fine with 1, 2 because neither your company nor Parler are common carriers, as defined by law, and have no obligation to provide their service to anyone. Guess what - AWS is not a common carrier either. But even a common carrier such as the electric company can terminate users that purposefully violate its terms of service.

At the end of the day, we all know this. We know that private services have no First Amendment obligation. And yet, thread after thread, its all the same fake outrage that's masking a much simple emotion - "I hate it when my guys lose".

The basic configuration still ships with 8GB of RAM. 16GB is $200 extra. I had an 8GB MacBook Pro in 2013. It wasn't enough then, it's absolutely inadequate now.

8GB of LPDDR3 costs about $30 retail. So they went from a 330% markup to a 660% markup. Nice.

If this inspires you to delete your profile, according to the help section, the only way to do it is by emailing candidate.support@triplebyte.com.

It would be super interesting to see if this knowledge generalizes with transfer learning. For example, after seeing 50,000 episodes of PacMan, would the GAN be able to recreate Space Invaders with just 5,000 extra episodes?

This is naively bad advice, in that it doesn't educate the reader, rather it just creates stigma.

Threads are a fine tool for many jobs. You just need to understand what you are doing. Reduce your shared state. Use locks when more than one thread may write data simultaneously. Use queues/channels for message passing. Profile your lock contention when things get slow. Learn a functional language, so that you get the hang of writing no-side-effect functions and using immutable data structures. This will immensely help you with writing concurrent code.

You should use threads.

They would certainly be paid for their services.

I admit this is just a shower thought, but airlines could really help in the current situation by transporting sick people across the world (e.g. from Italy to China) to even out hospital demand.

I am not in the position to offer you a job. However, I am also a self-taught engineer in the UK and I can offer you mentorship on developing yourself as an engineer, if you are interested. Feel free to reach out at alek@zvuk.net. Good luck!

Are there any conditions where the compiler can optimize away the call to objc_msgSend? Or is it always used for any call between 2 ObjC/Swift methods?

I think demand for VC-subsidised labor and real estate will always be high.

I've played with some early betas of Dark and I must say being deployless may make a good headline, but there are many more-exciting features. There's visual programming, a concise OCaml-style language, a unique pub-sub mechanism baked right in, and integrated database support. It's a really fresh approach.

I wish there were some improvements in the I/O aspect of the board. Having tried to use an RPi for a small automation project, I felt limited by the single ADC input and single PWM output. I was faced with using an Arduino daughter board to do the actual IO or going with a BeagleBoard.

What if you required 7 hours for a listing to go live?

I really liked Vice's in-depth international coverage of Vice. With Trump tweet obsessed 24/7 news TV it's really easy to lose the big picture of everything else going on in the world.

What is Boom's economic argument for supersonic passenger flight? Fuel is already #1 cost of airlines and pricing is very competitive, to the point that some airlines would rather cut service than raise prices. It sounds like the conditions that led to the demise of the Concorde have only exacerbated.

I have no relation to DO, but I'm surprised by the negative responses in this thread. I can't think of any other major company conducting a public postmortem for a customer service failure (as opposed to networking/ops failure). Not only are they changing their policies across the board, taking on more risk to improve customer experience, but they are hiring extra people so it does not happen again. Kudos for that!

And of course DO will still retain the ability to suspend your account for suspected fraud - that is the case with any cloud services company, and any online business in general (check your ToS). Again, I can't think of any business that will en masse promise to never react to any fraudulent users. It's how this process is performed that matters and that's what they are improving.

I wonder what happens some of your social media accounts are private. Do they just move on, or do they get the data from the provider?

I hope that everyone uses this. If I was Netlify, I'd pay Mathieu to develop this further (e.g. web UI for people not handy with CLI). What broke Medium for me was their paywall, paid subscriptions, and all that crap. Suddenly, instead of Medium facilitating an author's work reaching readers, it became an impediment in its way.

So RSA has some 10-20 years to go. Is there a quantum computing-proof encryption algorithm, or is it just a matter of increasing key lengths?

DeepMind seems to be conducting research in a similar direction. Any insight on how are the two projects related or different?

It would have been much smarter to have spouse visas count towards the H1B quota, while guaranteeing that if one partner is selected in the lottery, the other is picked, too. Right now, if a couple with active careers want to move to the US together, chances are one spouse has to abandon their career for several years and not be allowed to contribute to the economy. Or, the couple will just go elsewhere.

I may have missed this, but have there been any specific accusations against Huawei? It is clear Chinese actors hack and steal IP, but have those been connected to Huawei, or are they just the easiest victim for the US to retaliate against?

In London, there are two Tibits locations, which are owned by Hiltl. They share the buffet concept and some of the menu items. Pretty delicious!

An interesting aspect of this is the social role of restaurants in the US and abroad. In the US pretty much every restaurant I've been to hands me the check right after I finish my last bite. Lingering in restaurants to socialize is not so much the norm. If you go to a very popular place, you and your party may end up spending more time in the line to get in than on your table. So the tradeoff between going to a restaurant just to eat and getting food delivered is fairly small.

In other countries (e.g., Mediterranean region), it is perfectly normal to linger for a couple of hours after finishing your dinner. The social experience is the point of the restaurant visit, the food and drinks are just a catalyst.
