I'm not convinced. Maybe a lot of people think of 4chan as a "cesspool" but I think it's actually quite functional with minimal moderation. They have a small volunteer staff to delete the absolute worst of the worst and let the rest roam free. The most radical thing they've ever done is made containment boards to keep the noise down.

I think the real problem is that sites like 4chan makes a tiny fraction of what Reddit does.
I think the admins were quietly hoping that Trump would lose the election and that it would die out or they would be able to remove the sub without being accused of taking a side against a presidential candidate. But now that Trump actually won the election they have a big problem in their hands.
"Four sexes" sounds click-baitier than "two morphs." It's not like they have unique procreation, other than effectively two subspecies whom cannot interbreed (they both have males and females respectively). It's interesting a species can diverge with a large mutation and split the gene pool suddenly. More intriguing is how enough of a population could grow from the first individual and thrive.

EDIT: gotta make you wonder if there were a large forest fire, volcano, human hunters or other event that almost wipe them out, and that the survivors went through a population bottleneck, perhaps picking up the mutation along the way.
But they were receiving reports directly from the government.

Do you honestly believe that the WMD discussions were on the same level as "Hillary keeps killing her aides and Bill keeps covering it up" stories? Or "Trump keeps molesting 13 year old girl" stories?

I can't imagine anyone being able to defend these as being in the same category.
Who is to judge what is or isn't in the public interest? Is a song that shouts fire illegal? not protected? The fire argument always gets made, but is shouting fire actually illegal or even regulated?
Well, Obama joked about weaponizing the IRS and he did it through Lois Lerner and then Podesta BFF Peter J. Kadzik at the DoJ was personally responsible for clearing her of any charges.

I know someone in high school who joked about murdering someone and he's doing 25 to life for it now so I've learned to realize that someone joking about something is in no way proof that they wouldn't do it.

Also, in what way would he NOT be looking at dark secrets of people? Reddit makes money on selling packages of personally-identifiable information / and IPs so that you can pay them and be able to link reddit accounts to facebook accounts and google accounts and so on. People think they have some sort of anonymity on Reddit but if you pony up cash Reddit will strip anyone's away for you. And I'm sure he's looking at what he's willing to sell to others. If anyone posts something juicy but anonymous on Reddit, he's looking at their real name attached to their facebook account.

That's one opinion. Asymmetrical warfare amounts to another opinion. The Afghan mujahedeen, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Viet Cong can tell you more about that sort of thing. So can various warfighters with more formal credentials, from Sun Tzu Wu to Paul Van Riper.

It's hard to fight a guerilla war with tanks, carriers and stealth bombers. Some of those folks will probably outlast the US government at the rate we're going.

Present a book that shows that a government was prevented from attacking its citizens because they were armed.

This is like claiming that the Y2K bug would have been no big deal if we hadn't spent millions of dollars preventing it from popping up, or that polio would have gone away on its own if Jonas Salk had slacked off. It's a bit of an unfair demand.

Well, it turns out it's permeating the culture with “It can't happen here”, to the point where the military itself believes that such a thing happening here would be utterly unacceptable

I will not consider anyone poor if he spends more than Rs. 500 per day. This figure is correct on weekly basis. Rs. 500 per week. Poor people earn at most Rs. 250 per day. keep that in mind.

The Pharcyde's video for "The Drop" was filmed entirely in reverse. They apparently worked with a linguist to work out mouth movements that would sync to the lyrics when played backwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co3qMdkucM0

It's a really cool effect -- except for a few bits where objects fall upwards and the like, there's nothing too strikingly "off" about the motion in the video, but you can tell that something's up. It doesn't form an uncanny valley, though -- there's still an overarching "organic" feeling to the thing.

That is certainly true of the more recent versions, but at least there has historically been a far bigger wealth of information about tweaking and modifying Windows than any version of MacOS, no doubt discovered through experimentation and reverse-engineering. On the other hand, Apple and its user's philosophy has always leaned towards the "don't look, don't touch, just use it as we made it" direction.

Linux and the BSDs are traditionally far in the other direction: extreme flexibility and customisability, but you really do have to configure things before you can start working. Windows is somewhere in the middle but (IMHO unfortunately) moving towards the Mac side.

Oh please.

Fake News != Biased News != Unprovable Conjecture.

It's impossible to automatically determine truth when something is published. "The Pope endorses Trump for president" was the archetype of the fake story, but it is impossible to distinguish between that and being the first publication to break the story. While I've seen the stats on these circulating on FB, I'm unconvinced that most of these fall into this category. To me, this must be 100% false with no possibility of interpretation for news to be "fake".

Biased News (whether you think CNN/NYTimes/Breitbart is the worst of this doesn't matter) is protected. Take the NYTimes reporting of WMDs in Iraq: It was dumb how easily they accepted the US Government line. I disagreed at the time, and still do, but it's hard to see that as deliberately publishing things they knew to be fake.

Unprovable Conjecture stories ("pizzagate"/"Trump is a Russian plant" depending on your leanings) is something that I think is really damaging to sensible discourse and an informed electorate. "Fake News" is a distraction from this, which is something I think is the real problem.
Don't worry, media outlets generally don't care about vailidity.
I've been working on my next side project. I am hoping to get a beta out for it. Basically, I have a number of clients who need hosted database solutions. So I have made an automated relational database as a service solution with backup, restore, and high availability on multiple relational database engines.

Now that I have a few clients and it's working well, I would love to be able to market and sell it more widely.
By "clinton obsession" do you mean the coverage of her email "scandal" more than any other political topic combined? Yeah, that was absolutely a media failure.

But the answer is to hold media accountable, not to throw truth under a bus and promulgate nonsense with the excuse of "the other tribe is just as bad!"

This behavior exactly matches something described by Sartre in the last century. Replace "anti-semite" with "Trump supporter" in the following passage and it is strikingly on point:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

- Sartre, "Anti-semite and Jew", 1944
You could implement the facebooks with USENET.

Each user gets his or her own newsfroup subhierarchy which anyone may subscribe, cache, archive, or distribute.

Postings are signed by the user, where the signature points to a parent, Merkle-tree style. A valid posting must encrypt its Message-Id and Newsgroups header lines with the newsgroup's posting-user's private key, and with half of a key shared with the hierarchical parent newsgroup's owner set out in e.g. the cmsg newgroup message and follow-ups to it.

Postings may be signed cleartext or signed ciphertext with the decrypt key encrypted on the public keys of eligible readers.

Postings may be dropped (and should not be presented by a reader UA) if a signature trace upwards, potentially to the root of the hierarchy -- there may be many hierarchies, but each would have unique root newsgroup -- fails.

Posting would work like moderated newsgroups, with the "moderator" being whoever posseses the valid signing information, and any unmoderated postings going ignored.

The equivalent of posting on a friend's wall would involve either posting into a subgroup of the friend's primary newsgroup for which the posting-friend has the appropriate signing information, or goes into a dropbox subgroup encrypted on the wall owner's public key, which the wall owner should monitor, and from which the wall owner could sign-and-promote postings onto her or his own wall or some other non-dropbox subgroup.

There are similar drawbacks to USENET: once posted, a message cannot be unposted or edited reliably. Postings may be lost.

Additionally, postings might not be permanently secret. Posting and reading credentials may be lost or stolen. Legitimate readers might repost information they shouldn't. None of these are too different from the facebooks.

The bright side is that this could be started today with just UA work, using the existing USENET transfer-and-storage systems. Newsgroup creation and policies on expiration and peer-and-downstream transferring would need to be made more scalable; the line about "cmsg newgroup" exposes the problem even in the hundreds of users of USEFACE, let alone several orders of magnitude more newsgroups than exist today.

However, there aren't obvious ultimate scaling limits thanks to hierarchicalization; the hardest part is probably organizing where UAs will get their NNTP reader service from -- it's unlikely to be just one reader that happens to subscribe to all USEFACE hierarchies and stores all postings indefinitely. This was already a problem for USENET, although there are various partial solutions that already exist.
It sounds interesting. Of course, we'll see how it acts when it comes out and we can try it.

Ice cream for breakfast makes you smarter, Japanese scientist says
How did he make the changes to the comments? Is it via an audited admin function available to Reddit staff or by directly modifying the backend data store?

I ask because I want to figure out if anyone else that works at Reddit was aware of this. It's one thing to have the top of the house do something this betrayingly asinine, but I'd consider it much worse if other staff at Reddit were aware of this.
Anonimity is not enough. We need easy to use/install descentralized secure IM. If governments cannot get data from companies providing IM, email, social nets, etc. they will just ban the service. See the two recent cases: LinkedIn in Russia and Whatsapp in Brazil.
I remember the last time we called on a government security solution for a problem that was perceived as too difficult and too critical for the private sector that had been, up to that time, managing the issue.

That's roughly how the Department of Homeland Security was born and the TSA was given the critical task of managing airport security where the failures happen. I wonder how Mr. Schneier thought that worked out?

I cannot take seriously any open-ended demand for regulation in the name of safety that doesn't spell out pretty detailed proposals which would work in practice; what such regulations should address and what is off limits. The last time we did this, we sacrificed rights and gained little (if any) additional security; I think Schneier calls it "security theater". I want to know why he thinks his call will result in ANYTHING better than that fiasco before I'm even vaguely convinced that this is the right answer.

Please don't read this as my not believing that there is a real problem and threat. I'm simply dubious of Schneier's answer at this point. "Any action" here is not necessarily the right action.

My experience with FreeBSD is limited to a fugacious week with apparent quixotism and my noble Raspberry-Pi2, which ended inimically. All seemed rigorously dandy until presumably, Chuck Norris imposed thereafter some wicked temporal augmentation between all moments between any character typed or program otherwise compiled, offering only a typographic respite or scintillating scroll of never-ending techno-glossolalia in his wake whilst I sat there hour after hour (or character after character) awaiting something that made sense. Having no visible recourse, I capitulated and returned to Rasbpian.

With my compulsive - but hitherto compromised - aversion to running Linux within the virtual-machine of Systemd, I have ever-since intended to try again, maybe with a Pi3 and/or laptop, or even Mac. I've wangled Debian on a Macbook, but would, considering circumstances, prefer FreeBSD. I hope there is promise here. I praise all efforts.

In a slightly twisted way, his mistake is a good thing for the rest of us. With this happening right along side as the "fake news on Facebook" stories that are happening, it shows how so much of what we read on the internet could have been altered or plain old fabricated and should be taken with a grain of salt.
I don't see a Twitter clone getting enough users any time soon.
What I find more troubling than this whole "fake news" scare is subtle, hard to detect bias that is quite common in the media. This can be done by omitting some facts, through the use of words that bring up negative or positive emotions, or through the use of less than objective sources. It's harder to call out than obviously made up and unsupported stories, and even if somebody would read such criticism, it's easy to ignore because the story is not clearly wrong.

There is also an obvious echo chamber in the media and this current focus on fake news is its perfect example.
How do you like the Surface Book? I'm very tempted to buy one.

Either they don't want to release it or they can't (a third-party contract/NDA), at least right now. Open sourcing is often seen by big-businesses as potentially "helping" competitors undermine, replicate, sue, make interoperable wares which may threaten the "Golden Goose." It sucks, but that's the situation... lawyers can't force them to release other code unless they're caught TiVoizing some GPL 3 code or something similar.

You'd think Apple would want to invent the next cool kids bandwagon, maybe invite some community goodwill and crowdsource maybe some new features like fixing time synchronization to have a high-precision ability or working on another actual replacement for HFS+, or adding Windows compatibility. Maybe developer pressure could sway them, and wouldn't it be a good PR move to eventually relent after a long, drawn-out public debate which buys some time for the Apple Car or whatever else is cooking next to be readied? Ive and Cook have massive shoes to fill, which they and the Apple team helped fill, but many people don't think that right now, at least not yet.
