That's a good point about the VC money, and I wish there were more looking this way. There is a relatively decent sized tech culture, having regular meetups, sharing what we're all working on. With the cost of living, and access to RIT/UoR grads, it would encourage more people to make this a tech base in the Northeast. It wouldn't take more than a few higher profile companies, to get the ball really rolling. People are looking for excuses to get out of the overpriced city grind.
Free speech necessarily does have limits, obviously, otherwise I could claim my ddosing your web server or my uploading of CP was simply me expressing my free speech.

Does my free speech only end when my actions infringe other laws? Or should my free speech overrule the consequences other laws? People want to claim free speech is a moral perogative, not just some words written into a Constitution, but you can't mix unlimited free speech with the real world, at some point, idealism has to give.

And I won't say GoDaddy, Google or Cloudflare necessarily should be the ones to draw that line, but someone has to. Something had to give after Charlottesville, and we're see that here.

It might be time for people to realize that the lived experience of the vast majority of Uber employees does not match the ridiculous charicature that the media portrays. (I am not saying there wasn't harassment or bullying, that Susan's stories aren't true, or that the board and upper management seems like a circus right now.)

Btw,

I agree very much, and I'd like to add one point: When you build a lab environment for testing Kubernetes deployments (and verifying Kubernetes upgrades), make sure it's on the same hardware as your production environment.

When my team did the first Kubernetes deployment, we made the mistake of building a lab environment that did not match the anticipated production environment. (Two reasons: The BOM for the production environment was not yet decided upon at that time, and the lab was frankensteined together by taking hardware out of existing labs.) We learned the hard way that, just because the Kubernetes upgrade worked in the lab, it need not work on the production hardware.

Right now, we're stuck on last year's (i.e., ancient) Kubernetes 1.4 release because no one dares to upgrade production. (There's light at the end of the tunnel, though. A new lab is being built up in the datacenter around now.)
How about improving Google DOc's screen utilization? On a typical wide monitor, half the screen is taken up with the OS taskbar, Chrome's menus, Doc's menu, the doc paper margin, etc, etc

High speed trains only reach high speeds because they don't stop. They're not high acceleration and deceleration trains. MNR has too many stops (and curves, but setting that aside) for high speed to matter.

Of course, you can run them express, but then they probably wouldn't stop in small towns like Beacon or Cold Spring. Amtrak is basically this on the New Haven line, how many people actually take it to commute?

Sure, you can find the web client sources. How about the server, and the mobile apps? The website makes a big deal of them being open source after all ( https://protonmail.com/blog/protonmail-open-source/ ).
Not necessarily. Depending on the mode bitflips produce predictable results and a SSD probably does not authenticate blocks.

Personally, I think what these sites are doing now(dropping support for websites that distribute nazi propaganda) is the moral thing to do.

However, I am bit worried that this seems to happen in response to social media shit storms and not because the people in charge of these companies actually just acquired a moral backbone.

Most of the people I subscribe to on Twitter are (American-) left leaning, and in the past when I saw similar shit storms happening (e.g. GamerGate, Milo Y. etc.) I always thought "Good! What these people are doing is awful, so they had it coming."
But the recent James Damore thing got me a bit worried. I wasn't fully on board on what was the dominant narrative on Twitter and the like, and was a bit horrified with what conviction I saw people who were espousing a different viewpoint were treated.

I guess I worry that corporations and people now bow so easily over social media pressure that in the future they could be easily pressured to do something that morally repugnant or some such.

Or maybe that's just how society has always been, and social media just exacerbates it.
Professional bodies and company information getting posted only on Facebook is the issue I have.

If shareholders value not collaborating with Nazis, then not collaborating with Nazis generates shareholder value.

Shareholders as a group have no need to be less good than themselves individually.

All of what you say is true but I feel important details are lost.

Elixir's Phoenix framework has very good plugins -- like Guardian -- that give you 95% of the tools you might need for your own security solution and you can assemble it together in 15-60 minutes (this of course assumes your security model isn't wildly different than what the various plugins support). You have separate Plugs -- think of them as pipes of sort -- who handle cookie session management, another that handles JWT tokens, HTTP basic auth etc.

The only thing you must do is to assemble such pieces in a code module that basically serves as a pipeline with several Plugs (pipes) connected in the order you deem appropriate for the security model of your app. Any of these Plugs can modify or remove headers or tokens, can consult a 3rd party system (say, for single sign-on), can provide throttling, temporarily lock out an account that made too many invalid login attempts, can refuse a session due to non-whitelisted IP, etc. etc.

So no, you're not inventing cookie session management or anything there. You simply have control on which security mechanisms -- and when, and at which conditions -- happen on request.
This would be a much more productive comment if you took out the first sentence.

I think it already is. I recently deleted my FB and Twitter accounts. I had to keep my LinkedIn account because a recruiter told me that if I didn't have at least some online persona then I was weird and wouldn't be hired. I guess I'm not rich enough to delete all my social media.
A facebook message doesn't force you to scroll forever. It's a message, just like a text message.
I thought the reason the file could be written or deleted by the user was that it had no permissions set... wouldn't this not work if root chmodded little-rock to 600?

This is the proper thing to do for DreamHost.

On an un-related matter, domain registrars (Google, Go-Daddy) shouldn't be the ones censoring free speech of the alt-right by revoking Daily Stormer's registration. However vile and despicable the views expressed on the site, they have a constitutional right to it. If they indulge in illegal activities, alerting law enforcement is the recommended course of action, just like DreamHost resisting the DOJ request
The 'any permissions' link is broken, too.
Sorry - I want to make clear that the point of sharing this article on HN is not to give credit to who came up with this concept. I simply want to start (or continue) discourse on this particular subject.

To be honest, this isn't even just about Facebook, I'm sure you could have the same argument about the majority of today's tech companies who are commoditizing information about users and using that to monetize.

Generally, though, this is a trend that is not slowing down, instead it's rapidly speeding up. In addition to that, the methods have become increasingly worse. I'd like to continue discourse on methods of combating this particular phenomenon.
It's the 'reply all' button that ruined email. The other problems are solved by adequate filtering.
Those are totally fair. The one remain barrier that SF suffers from is 'starting a family'. Looking around, it seems you need a level-above the regular engineer's salary for you to afford a family living in San Francisco.

I actually just started reading his newsletter a few weeks ago. His writing is akin to the comments you see on Hackernews: insightful, appropriately opinionated, backed up by experience in industry.

He also adds a wittiness that makes reading his material a pleasure.
The problem is that his first reaction was to basically say both sides were equally wrong. In this context the two sides where A) neo-nazis and white supremacists, and B) counter protestors who were there to oppose the neo-nazis and white supremacists. This was not a BLM rally, this was an alt-right rally. There might have been some BLM members there, there might even have been some antifa there, but the majority of the crowd that was there was a reaction to the alt-right and in opposition to them, not acting as a member of some other group. By saying both sides were equally to blame he was saying that opposing neo-nazis and white supremacists was wrong. Additionally by not calling out the neo-nazis and white supremacists, and instead merely talking about violence, he's tacitly providing support for them, he's saying that it's only the violent act that was wrong, not the racists or fascists.
That's just what a stock market is, if stocks are owned broadly by members of the public.
Does this have an api / plans to have an api / way to access it programmatically, or perhaps some of the tools are open source?

I've been building a spam/scam filter as a hobby, and some of these metrics might be useful to rank messages by spam probability. The spam bots aren't very sophisticated so I've been able to make very specific targeted metrics to make a spam rating without having to think about advanced spam detection, but I'd love to be able to have access to "reading level" and "vocabulary" metrics and stuff that I'm not inclined to make from the ground up on my own.

> it's a warning about any extremist group that gains power by attacking other extremists

I believe you may have misinterpreted the poem. It's not about preventing "attacks" towards other extremists, it's about _suppressing_ them. It's one thing to argue with someone, fight with them, make your disagreements known, and whatever. That advances the conversation. It's a completely different issue to silence and suppress your enemies. That leads to authoritarianism, whether from the left or the right.

In my opinion, it is right of the majority to make their disdain towards the Nazis known. It is right of them to denounce their behavior. I personally don't feel it's right to suppress their ability to express their views, however.
And then we spend days playing phone tag...
Party registration is a matter of public record in almost every state in the US. Though that is admittedly different than a smaller group of people who participated in a particular riot.

Google and GoDaddy are not beholden to the constitution and are well within their rights to reject the Daily Stormer. White supremacy isn't a suspect class. It's perfectly legal for a business to discriminate against such views.
Awesome! This will make the Boozang/CI integration much smoother. I was using npm-headless-chromium before, but the Xvfb dependency was error-prone and difficult to setup properly. Thank you very much!
One of the main points underpinning the thesis of Manufacturing Consent's Propaganda model is news organizations selling audiences to corporations via their advertising arms.

So I would say the notion goes back at least to Chomsky and Herman.

Edit: Maybe it needs to be clarified that I'm in agreement with Olympus's comment and trying to expand on it.
I'm not commenting on the trainwreck that is the open commentary(ha), but specifically the spree downvotes on inane or just plain informative comments.

Haven't really seen activity like that in other threads unless they are bringing in a lot of out-of-site new users. But this low volume thread apparently has a queue of users ready to knock down people responding to an inquiry about what Daily Stormer is..
Seen that.

It wasn't "audacity" it was an ethnic genocide of the island -- they killed thousands of their masters, their masters' innocent children, and even white abolitionists.

That's funny, we have an internal bug open right now about a kernel panics that happen with devicemapper (with XFS as the base filesystem). We found that the issue was exacerbated if you used loopback devices, but on paper it should still happen in non-loopback mode (the current theory is that it's a bug in XFS). Our kernel team is still investigating the issue, but they cannot seem to reproduce the issue with direct-lvm (and loop-lvm is inconsistent in reproducing the issue).

If you can consistently reproduce the issue, would you mind providing the backtrace and/or coredump? Is it possible for you to reproduce the issue on a machine without needing to be hit by GitHub-levels of traffic, and if so can you provide said reproducer?

For reference, our backtraces show that the kernel dies at Xfs_vm_writepage. Though of course different kernel versions may have varying backtraces.

Also known as the Alf Garnett effect. When you're telling jokes about killing The Jews you're probably just a nazi, not some edgy ironic satirist.
Pushing a diverse melting pot isn't the same as forcing for white supremacy.
They have a constitutional right to say whatever they want without punishment by the government. Thats where that right ends.

The constitution has no power in the private sector, its an agreement from the government. If a dns provider doesn't want to take money from a hate group and support them by providing them with visibility, why should they be forced to? Its a private company. Now, if the US government was a domain registrar, the constitution may apply, but even then hate speech is a gray area and is easily worked around.
Hail nah, but this is an old project and was posted without any context, so I thought I might be missing something.
Thanks Chuck for sharing, I enjoyed your sharing these details :)
Thats interesting, as my dev experience would allow me to tune queries better in Postgres (the visual query planner makes it easier and there are more join types), while tuning them through configuration on either database would involve a lot more trail and error reading. I would more likely know what to do by migrating.
What are some of the more interesting potential implementations you've come up with for Event Grid?

Are there any planned Events or Sources for SQL Database?
Yeah, this is downright shocking to me. They make a free speech argument when it comes to censoring criminal commercial content, but political content they're OK with shutting down? Seems exactly backwards from what most companies do.

Not that I want them messing with any content, but it's quite self-evident that nazi ideology isn't somehow so insanely viral that it needs to be kept away from people rather than rightly ridiculed on its "merits". If you're fine with a hands off approach when it comes to people actively conspiring to DDoS people, you should be fine with nazis saluting each other and sucking Hitler's ghastly member or whatever it is they get up to.
Maybe this is silly, but could you use redundancy and statistics to help?
I wrote a bit yesterday about Cloudflare's previous stance on this issue, which has always been that the company does not think it's its place to pick and choose whom it does business with:

https://qz.com/1053689/cloudflare-is-the-one-tech-company-st...

So far, Cloudflare has not made a statement or confirmed in any way that it has dropped Daily Stormer or any other website based on its content. If it does, I expect the confirmation will first come from Cloudflare's official blog:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/

The action would represent a major philosophical shift in the company's approach to these kinds of issues, and all we have to go on so far is a screenshot of a non-descriptive email, posted on a Gab.ai account that _appears_ to be run by the editor of a neo-Nazi website.

https://gab.ai/AndrewAnglin

I'm not suggesting that Cloudflare has or hasn't done anything, just that we don't have a ton of information on this yet.
So tell me, how do i replace around 5 different group chats i have on messenger which can have anywhere between 5-10 people in each chat?

Music events that i go to are exclusively promoted on facebook. How do you recommend i find out about these events so that i can get a cheaper ticket price?

if anyone wants to organize a plan that has more than 8 people, facebook groups make it much much easier.

I personally hate facebook's mobile apps and some it's policies ( Internet.org comes 1st to my mind), but it's hard to completely stop using it.
I'll reiterate myself because it apparently wasn't clear the first time. I agree with your stance. The appropriate thing to do would have been to explicitly call out the group whose violence escalated the highest. But to pretend this is the first of this type of incident is a lie. And to pretend that other groups that lean left have not had politically motivated violence and murder recently is also a lie. I welcome you and the media to the side of wanting to explicitly call out the groups with the bad actors. If you and the media had an equal and opposite response when BLM killed cops and called for the POTUS to explicitly call out BLM, I'd have nothing to say here.
I wish there was a desktop app that allowed me to draw diagrams in "vector" ascii art that I could then process with `dia` or another similar program to produce images.
Google and Go-Daddy also have a constitutional right not to associate or do business with the alt-right (or really, anyone else they disagree with). You are protected from the government restricting your speech, no one else has any obligation to put up with you.
