Perhaps certain sites became prolific due in part to the moderation decisions they make for their platforms. For instance, there are other sites that take a very different moderation strategy (4chan comes to mind.) If Twitter developed a

I can immediately think of sites that are open to gender critical discussion. Voat, 4chan, and many other message boards exist for such. It isn't a topic I'm particulaly interested in, but if you start there I'm sure you can

Ad revenue. Go do a DDG search. You'll notice off to the side there is an ad conspicuously tagged as such. Click that, and DDG makes a little bit of money. From what I understand, their ads are only related to the content of the curren

While there are genuine issues that BLM and Occupy have organized around, the movements certainly appear largely rudderless. I don't say this to dismiss their position, however if you ask 50 protesters what it would take to bring about

The condition I placed on that is while people wear campaign buttons. The US has major elections every two years, that's almost certainly not enough time for a critical mass of disenfranchised voters to start something like that. They

Democracies have a built-in pressure valve to allow unrest to disperse, that is voting. Instead of feeling the need to resort to violence to have political agency, people vote. Dislike growing inequality? You probably voted for Sanders. W

I'm not surprised that a professor that is a well-known, outspoken climate change denier is also opposed to the quarantine. It's honestly the same problem; does one tolerate any economic harm for the public good? If you are oppose

This raises the question: Is port scanning without consent a violation of the CFAA? Either it is legal, and researchers should face no repercussions for doing so, or it isn't and eBay is non-compliant with CFAA. I recall hearing about

The fact the malware is written in Node for a Windows OS target is rather unusual. I don't think I've heard of something like this before.

I hadn't thought much about the fact that the economic impact of quarantine measures would affect private dental practices as well. It's difficult for me not to be at least a little cynical; there is a clear, strong, (and reasonab

I don't see how being "locked into CUDA" should make one less skeptical of a change that will functionally lock projects into Windows. I can't help but think this is going to siphon resources from Linux native graphics d

The title is misleading. This isn't DirectX on Linux. This is DirectX API access for WSL exclusively. It will lock ML projects into Windows/WSL for the price of access to the DirectX API and at the expense of development of other

How is it too early to tell? It is an extension of the capability of WSL, giving you that sweet convenience of the DirectX API with your existing ML project. Of course, this extension makes your project incompatible with desktop Linux onc

No, this is only an extension of WSL, it will not impact desktop Linux.

The significant difference here is that Firefox has made it possible to maintain Split DNS without managing and reconfiguring every device via a network signal to continue to use split DNS (e.g. PiHole)

What is the impact for an organization utilizing a BYOD policy that performs DNS filtering? What about home users filtering via PiHole or pfSense or parents that use local DNS filtering? Will every device's browser need to be changed?
