First, it engages in content-based discrimination. If passed, it'd face immediate First Amendment challenges. It's exceedingly hard to pass a law that discriminates based upon the content of speech.
Second, it's trying to overwrite parts of Section 230 and seems, at least on its face, as blatantly violating the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
I trust the AOM will handle this the moment Sisvel actually attempts to file suit. If their patents are as solid as they're claiming, they probably would have sued someone like Netflix for using AV1 already. IIRC, Sisvel did this for both VP8 and VP9 and it didn't end up going anywhere.
It appears the DC leadership and the Pentagon wanted to avoid a show of force that mimicked what happened during the summer, trying to learn from their mistakes during the protests triggered by Floyd’s death.
Facebook is a private company. It is their right to do what they want on their site. It seems fair that they should do what they believe is right.
You're free to say whatever unpopular thing you want, just not everywhere. Given how these events have played out, I suspect many of the tech giants will take similar actions.
If I was part of a developing nation then, yes, I would absolutely want those jobs. They tend to be the best jobs in the region and one of the key ways to advance your social class. There's a pretty strong amount of research backing up this position: https://www.nber.org/papers/w9669
It's one of the main reasons we've seen such a sharp reduction in poverty at basically every single monetary value you could measure it at https://imgur.com/a/qIB24jP.
What you appear to be characterizing as strictly bad worker exploitation is a key part of the best known way to reduce global poverty.
To a certain extent, there is substantial amount of "smoke shaming." A lot of the smoking mass media ads involved second hand smoke which was largely a shame campaign. By demonstrating the damage you cause others, you invoke shame in the action of smoking.
Interestingly, I've tried to find this exact website through Google before. It was very hard because the search terms "good", "cheap", and "fast" are common and used together frequently.
It may be an affiliate link farm but it's one that's done the most basic level of analysis to find an acceptable item in a category.
It's not great but it's a time-saver compared to me reading potentially fake Amazon reviews myself.
Most work-from-bed setups are ergonomic disasters. The typical person who works from bed is not getting a $5,995 Zero Gravity setup or anything like that.
Ergonomic issues aside, many commenters in this thread have discussed the other drawbacks of re-purposing your bed for work.
I confirm that Mixer delivered on the sub-second latency claims. As far as I know, FTL's performance is in line with WebRTC's performance. As long as the servers in-between are fast, a good WebRTC implementation should match it.
Unfortunately, with Mixer's death, I don't think there are any major turnkey players left with low latency sub-second streaming. I'd probably use Discord as a primary alternative which uses WebRTC with Discord's servers in-between.
If your home connection has the bandwidth to support the load of multiple users, a service that does direct P2P like Parsec will probably give the best performance.
The backlinks functionality is a little more hacked on than the built-in Obsidian tooling but I find most of the other editing tools and extensions to be superior. Having my knowledge database be edited in my normal text editor is easier and more powerful for me.
Even among unions, the tone and political messaging from the AWU is particularly left. It's obvious if you contrast the AWU's stated principles and values with a more traditional union.

I don't see this going anywhere.
