Well, they got my business, but only because I was specifically looking for "green" cloud computing providers (I had no idea they were carbon neutral before doing my research).

Wouldn't be awesome if large corporations competed to reach the carbon neutral mark with the same enthusiasm they had for the trillion dollar mark? :)

Every company should add a page with a live chart showing how well they are doing right now and how far away they are to be carbon neutral.

or just tell you "what bug? lol that never happened..."

Really? What kind of tape can damage a MacBook? I've never heard of this before

I am not sure if many people are aware of this fact but even flying can be quite difficult right now: if for instance you need to go back to Argentina it can take literally months until you are able to successfully book a flight (and this it with some help of the local embassy), and they all depart from Miami so you also have to figure out how to get there first. After that, once you get to Buenos Aires, you have to quarantine for two weeks in a specially designated hotel room. A good friend of mine passed through all this and it was pretty stressful.

I don't know, his lips look a bit purple...

Mathematics: A Discrete Introduction by Edward R. Scheinerman:

https://books.google.com/books/about/Mathematics_A_Discrete_...

I bought this book when I was ~16 because I wanted to learn some discrete maths, but it actually touches many different interesting topics that you don't see in secondary school (including some cryptography!).

This entire comment section was grayed out a few minutes ago :/

I believe Sweden requires a bachelors degree and 2.5 years of training to become a cop. In the US it's just a high school diploma and 4 to 6 months of training depending the state.

It may be obvious if you are watching the full size version on a desktop/laptop screen, but it is not that obvious when you are scrolling through a bunch of thumbnails on your phone and specially if your vision is not 20/20. Also what you perceive as "inconsistent lighting" other can think of it as a flash.

FYI the Seattle Police Department retracted previous claims yesterday:

This is not the first time Chief Best and the SPD made things up during these events, and in fact they have a long history of misbehavior:

https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/crt/legacy/2011/...

Note that in your video Best is not being too explicit on where exactly those crime reports happened, she just says "in the area" while talking about their response times (CHAZ is a relatively important intersection of Capitol Hill and it is causing some traffic). Note also that this video was filmed in the East Precinct itself (i.e. inside CHAZ).

After everything that happened over the last few weeks it is now my belief that they are being dishonest, which is why two days ago I submitted my first FOIA request to learn more about some events connected to the Seattle Police Department.

By the way, I don't think many people here in Seattle believes this is an "utopia" nor anything close to that, in fact I think that CHAZ may be moving away attention from BLM.

Thanks! I'm not sure which one you are referring to (maybe Sagrada Familia?) but yeah, they are all in Catalonia :)

Nop sorry, but I'm surprised that Flickr asks you for one! I wonder if it's some sort of geographical restriction.

Unfortunately not here in Seattle.

This is something that cannot be overstated: the helicopters and planes, the loud bombs and the gassing, were really awful. I don't have problems sleeping but last week was really hard...

> The media coverage of it is WILD

I live 7 blocks away from "the zone" and can confirm, I have never in my life seen anything alike in this regard. The scale of the misinformation being spread in social networks and news media reached a level I couldn't believe possible before. Seriously, it's beyond absurd.

If anyone is interested, I have been taking some pictures of the ongoing protests (including a few of the zone): https://www.flickr.com/photos/peramides

I just had an idea: if you control your own name server I believe you could use a BIND view to send all their own traffic to themselves based on the source address.

By the way, if someone discovers how to trigger this issue it would be easy to use it as a DOS pseudo-botnet.

Just yesterday I reported two posts on Twitter calling to shoot democrats in the head. If you want to see some examples right now you can search for any political imageboard or spend a few minutes on Twitter, it's not rare at all.

Thanks for the answers.

I don't think gp assumes bad faith. The problem I see is that free speech absolutism is currently serving as a platform to protect those who are making death threats in social networks.

Sure sometimes is difficult to discern whether a post was an actual threat or just figurative language, but is it really that terrible to delete a post that was calling to shoot people even when maybe the intention was "just figurative"?

Free speech absolutism is something I sincerely cannot understand, may I ask you:

1 - What do you win by allowing users to make direct and explicit death threats?

2 - What is your view with regard to the paradox of tolerance?

3 - Are you against all kind of moderation in forums/social networks?

> The more they expect to be held accountable, the more likely they will refrain from violence.

The thing is people are already being held accountable for their skin tone, and the likelihood of changing your behavior when you have lived your entire life in an environment of constant oppression for fear of being identified in a protest is marginal, specially during catharsis, otherwise you wouldn't see for instance people burning police cars in front of a camera.

Keep in mind also that many (most?) of these "violent protestors" are simply reacting against violent cops in a power trip. I can't say I wouldn't react violently against a cop intentionally running over me and others with its SUV, but I can say that I would be thankful if my face was anonymized no matter how I reacted.

That's the actual name of the aircraft:

Interesting how they changed the wording of Section 5:

Yesterday's draft:

> The working group shall also collect publicly available information regarding the following:

> (i) monitoring or creating watch-lists of users based on their interactions with content or users (e.g., likes, follows, time spent); and

> (ii) monitoring users based on their activity off the platform.

Final version:

> The working group shall also collect publicly available information regarding the following:

> (i) increased scrutiny of users based on the other users they choose to follow, or their interactions with other users;

> (ii) algorithms to suppress content or users based on indications of political alignment or viewpoint;

> (iii) differential policies allowing for otherwise impermissible behavior, when committed by accounts associated with the Chinese Communist Party or other anti-democratic associations or governments;

> (iv) reliance on third-party entities, including contractors, media organizations, and individuals, with indicia of bias to review content; and

> (v) acts that limit the ability of users with particular viewpoints to earn money on the platform compared with other users similarly situated.

Could you include a link to the comment? I was not able to find your quoted text with Google nor Reddit's search engine.

There is something really wrong with how Florida is handling COVID-19 data, just a few weeks ago:

Florida medical examiners were releasing coronavirus death data. The state made them stop.

> I mean, unlike in typical hard FP languages like Haskell or Elm

What is a "typical" FP language? Are Scheme, Common Lisp, OCaml, SML, atypical?

> mutable state is rampant in your average Elixir app

I don't think this is generally true, or at least not on my experience, but I guess it may depend on what would one consider rampant.

I don't think this is different in OOP literature, where you may read something like "abstract factory pattern", you just need to get familiar with the terminology. I would start reading Pierce's Types and Programming Languages and then any book on Haskell (you may also want to reinforce your abstract algebra :)

Even better: we can call it simply CC, for Crypto-Currency of course :)

The *PNG is there just to show the results produced by the CNN, if you watch the linked video they do exactly what you are suggesting and then compare both results.

What jpg? they are using raw data.
