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.
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.
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 [email protected]. 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'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.
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.
