Telecoms want to editorialize what goes through their pipes. But tech companies want the pipes to be neutral so the telecoms can't mess with their platforms.

Then the tech companies turn around and want to editorialize user generated content on their platforms. But users want the platforms to be neutral so the tech companies can't mess with their content.

Do you see why the tech companies are being hypocritical? Everyone wants control over the presentation of their own "stuff", but then all the middle men want to stick their fingers in it. Tech companies aren't "regulating" this content as a service to the community, they are indulging in growing their own power. The 1st amendment becomes meaningless if all speech has to go through corporate filters. How does one have "public speech" on the internet? If the social network kicks you off, start your own website. Run your website, the ISP can kick you off. Get your own uplink, the domain registrar can delist your name. Run on a naked IP address, even the banking system can arbitrarily freeze your account. We have lost control of government to private corporate interests who act as their own judge and jury to control our most foundational freedom of speech and assembly. How long until laser printers run AI classifiers on what you're allowed to print? (Hint: they already do but so far limited to detecting currency.)

It's completely fair to say if the tech companies want the pipes to be neutral, they should also promise to keep their platforms neutral—no arbitrary "fact checkers" and SJW censors. On the flip side, if a company wants to act as a private publisher instead of a public platform, then they assume responsibility for the content—no "safe harbor" provisions, and they should also be subject to telecom "publishing" deals as well since they are no longer providing public service themselves.

Yeah exactly. When I finally get to the so-contraversial tweet, it's just saying looting has gone too far and he's willing to send the national guard to help the governor restore order?

Is twitter really going to start censoring any calls for law and order? That's ridiculous.

On the one hand, I hardly find the authority's dismissal of the lab convincing. Even those in the US because it was US funded research going on there, and the blowback if they did admit it was from our program, and especially if it was from gain-of-function research that had been banned in the US and then moved to China, would be colossal. The media has been incredibly complicit in conflating that just because it wasn't engineered, that it didn't come from the lab (which is not an exclusive relationship by which to make that assumption), and quoting "viral experts" regarding that assumption without disclosing they were involved in the lab's research, which makes them a huge conflict of interest to clear their own work.

But on the other hand, even if we believe that they've never seen anything close to this before, then they failed to perform their core function, which was to find these pathogens before they hit the population and give us a head start to fight them.

So either way, the lab screwed up.

The point isn't to prevent infection outright (it's not a vaccine) it but to give the body an edge to fight it and reduce the severity. Given the incubation period, you might not know you have it in order to start taking the drug early, when it would be effective, hence taking it preemptively. (I've also read you have to be taking it a while before it builds up and gets dispersed throughout the body but I'm not sure about that.)

Anyway if you're waiting until the damage is done and you're in the hospital, you've missed the boat. Which is why the studies which only cover treatment of patients in a hospital are not helpful, and suspect as a feint to push policy toward expensive and even less proven new anti-virals but which happen to be covered by patents and fat profit margins.

FYI Trump is kind of famously a non-drinker. Apparently his brother Fred was an alcoholic and died early, so for once we have a sober president.

The missing mass...

Be honest...
It's all AOL CDROMs, isn't it?

I'd be surprised if you could demonstrate the same thing for embedded devices not designed to be modified or updated by users -- no matter their complexity.

I was personally very upset when Motorola refused to provide me a software update for a device, designed for both long-term and short-term use!

It was an SN74LS139N Motorola Dual Decoder 2-4 Line Plastic TTL chip.

How dare they deny me software updates for this chip containing two inverters and four AND gates!

I don't give a damn that they designed it for embedded use, I should be able to update the software running on it!

Right?

I quote Rush too:

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Obviously the band has other songs, but Tom Sawyer is just a classic.

I blame increasing dental visits.

The NHS just had an anniversary that was highly publicized, and it's clear people are finally doing something about their manibles, maxilla, and teeth, all of which would throw this sort of thing off.

We have 64 bits virtual.

Just don't put processes in intersecting address spaces; we already slide them arounbd with ASLR; adding negaffinity is not that hard a modification.

No TLB intersections, no issues.

Yes, performance will be reduced due to not having any page sharing whatsoever.

Alternate fix: stop using hypervisors.

Missing the "..."?
lol, punctuation n00b.

Now if only they'd cut off Windows 10 support for newer computers...
