I think that’s the point. Arab spring, the chance of positive change around the world because of it, pre Snowden(!).

It’s not that things weren’t awful then just people didn’t know what was going on or how things would turn out, so we were all upbeat about the internet.

I’m on the phone and too lazy to copy-paste video references, but as I remember there was lots and lots of violence that I don’t think would pass many of today’s censors. I also remember a couple of episodes involving a “lady cat” (Tom’s love interest) presented as a “femme fatale” which would push some hot buttons in today’s world (sexism, kids being subjected to watch sexual innuendo scenes etc). Ah, and there were also those early 1940s episodes where Tom’s owner is this black servant lady whose face is really never shown, that would generate some really heated conversations were it to be released in today’s political and social context.
Is 300k monthly traffic even a big deal when all you are doing is serving static files?
So even combining every possible subsidy given to the coal industry since 1950 they still only get a total of $72 billion of subsidies in present value. Given that coal's current contribution to GDP is ~$50 billion and the coal industry was larger in the past its pretty fair that the subsidies are completely insignificant and probably don't exceed 1% of the industry's economic value.

So subsidies for coal are incredibly small.
Being against freedom of speech is absolutely a freedom of speech. Preventing people from expressing their freedom of speech is not.
Last I heard, that San Onofre upgrade didn't go so well. Who's paying for that, again?
Speaking as a company that deals with frequent account resets I’ll add that account holders routinely confuse the issue with poorly/inaccurately specified identities, duplicate accounts, and obsolete contact details.

We do our best to apply strict and fair rules, but some cases still get evaluated on a balance of merits and history.

I can also safely say that customers who struggle to enter their date of birth consistently see 2FA schemes as an insurmountable barrier.

These are 1% issues but the volume grows linearly with user base, unlike other support issues which we can automate away or use the ecosystem to assist. I haven’t yet found a way to deal with these cases that scales any better, and I just know it’s going to be a marginal cost issue later.

(I don’t think any of this applies to the case in this article, no sympathy for Sony’s dismal support)

I don't think that means what they think it means.
People universally believe they are better than their historical counterparts, that they will succeed where history has failed, that this time it will be different. When really all they're doing is carving another notch on fascism's belt.
Has anyone else ever wondered how some of the numbers about internet compares to a real world? Like,

* "2.6 million tweets contained anti-Semitic speech during the US presidential election" - how many conversations there where, in real word, about the same topic and contained anti-Semitic speech?

* "26% of American users are victims of internet trolling" - how many are victims of trolling in real word? Or in schools?

* "40% of internet users have been harassed online" - how many persons have been harassed at work places? Bars?

* Governments under cyber attack? How many of them are targets of espionage? Or have many companies are targets of espionage?

I'm not saying that these are not bad things, nor that those shouldn't be addressed - I'm just wondering if these things are as bad as they might seem to be, when compared to "the real world".
Earth will be fine.

Life on Earth will be fine, but that life will be different to the life we have today.

The only thing not fine is whether humans survive what they/we ultimately have brought about.

But in there is a kind of beautiful justice that the universe has in it's self-correcting algorithm... if you create imbalance, the imbalance will correct in time but perhaps to do so it kills you.

If we care about the human race, it means to care about the whole ecosystem and all other life on Earth. But the evidence of behaviour by people and governments is that they only care for themselves as individuals and not the wider human race, and other life on Earth.

I no longer see hope for significant change in the behaviour of humans, and I've shifted my view to believing that what is needed to provide massively long-term stability in the ecosystem for life on Earth is another mass extinction that includes humans.

Which sounds depressing, but doesn't feel it. I'm positive about life on Earth, just not about humans.
I think the biggest counter to that optimism is that while those necessary technologies are being developed, civilization will perhaps be going through major disruption that causes lots of suffering and death. Humans will almost certainly not go extinct, and may even get some great technological advancements out of the ordeal, but at the scale of human lives there will be a lot of suffering.

What? Blue LEDs used to be the most expensive. Say $1 per in bulk vs 2 cents for red or green. Has that gone full circle?
Because real centrists like google know all that Libya stuff was a right wing conspiracy theory to prevent hillary from running for president /s

In all seriousness, it's quite abhorrent how foreign policy interventions by progressive leaders are shoved down the memory hole while we are always wide awake when a conservative does something.
Punching up vs. punching down. Still a pretty mean thing to think or say.
> As someone who's nowhere close to any of those numbers and has had an exceptional level of success in the Bay, I can tell you that those requirements are bullshit, and very, very common justifications that men tell themselves to resort to inaction.

I am glad for your success, but my anecdata contradicts yours.

From my social circle, I can tick off almost a dozen men who had a really rough time dating in the Bay Area. After they left for places with a better gender balance, they did dramatically better. They went from practically no dates to quite a robust social calendar. And, it seems that the quality of the women they were meeting got quite a bit better.

They didn't all magically get smarter, funnier, fitter, etc. simply by moving.
I'm curious why the result of the github API call is not deployed alongside everything else in the netlify platform ... wouldn't it be even easier to just write it to a static file?
I feel sources of procrastination need to be discussed somewhat separately. I know a fear like yours is frequently reported to be one. But myself, I don't have such fear for the tasks I procrastinate the most on. Hell, I'm usually overconfident about doing them (that's why I agreed to do them in the first place). For me it's closer to "news value", but it really boils down to sudden anxiety attacks and desperate need to do something else, anything else whenever I face a task I actually should be doing.

So, different people, different flavours of procrastination.
I've been tinkering with Netlify for a year or two now and have two production sites on it for the last ~6 months, and it's amazing. If you have a site built with Vue/React/Angular, there really is no reason to not use Netlify! I've even been playing around with some API endpoints using Netlify Functions (which is AWS Lambda) and it's pretty neat, you can develop the front end and back end in the same repo and have it all automagically deploy with a git push.
The difference between censorship and all of those things is that they aren't prior restraints. Nobody filters what you say to make sure you aren't saying something defamatory. You say it first, then someone has to take you to court, where you have the opportunity to defend yourself.

And somebody has to care enough to shut you up to go through the effort of taking you to court, and then they have to win.

Some kind of private sector prior restraint apparatus making automated censorship decisions with no due process... is not that.
In what sense is what happens online not part of the real world?

If nobody reads a tweet, did it really happen? If nobody hears me hurl racist abuse at my lawnmower, did it really happen?
We migrated from Compose to Atlas and their support's been quite good and responsive. Compose was utter crap compared to what Atlas provides.
I can work quietly on my own at home. I go to the office so I can talk to other people. A lot of people share your distaste for the noise level in open offices, but I don't think that asking everyone to sit quietly for 8 hours is a viable solution.
Proceeding with censorship seems to carry the risk of losing immunity under Section 230.

Nope. The whole point of Section 230 is platforms can make and enforce rules, and still have a safe harbor. Otherwise, they all would have lost their safe harbor decades ago.

EmbodyVR | Full time| Full stack |San Mateo CA| Remote OK

EmbodyVR is looking for a full stack engineer. We are rapidly growing and looking to expand our team. We are developing the cutting edge immersive audio technology. Its a pretty challenging and fun position. You get to listen to music, play video games for work :) :) The job description is given below. If interested please send your resume to nidhi@embodyvr.co. Remote OK.

Job Description

We are looking for a lead full-stack software engineer at EmbodyVR to build immersive auditory experiences! If you are someone who loves thinking systems and infrastructure for large-scale deployment of machine learning algorithms, we would love to talk to you. We value initiative and leadership!

We prefer someone with a industry experience because our challenges as a startup are unique to designing at-scale systems from scratch. If you have recently graduated, and think that you are ready for a challenge, please apply with a link to your codebase.

Our culture is collaborative, and we thrive in learning from each other! As a research team working on some amazing machine learning problems, we code in Python. We are seeking a strong software engineer who can complement our skills, and is experienced in the following:

1. Programming Languages: Python, C++ (mandatory), Java (nice to have)
2. Any of your favorite API development frameworks: For example Flask, Django, Tornado, Node,js
3. Any of your favorite databases: For example, MongoDB, SQL
4. Any of your favorite cloud platforms: For example, AWS, Azure, GCP.
Do you think the OP is storing documents? I will put cash money they are doing something like the MEAN stack and storing relational or semi relational data in Mongo. Not many startups spend the majority of their storage storing documents.
I wonder how many conspiracy theories about Trump have been censored by google?
I believe that a small minority could turn things around. If about 3 % of the population in the rich world would donate $100 per month, we could use that money to force the other to change. How? One example is to remove all coal power plants (which are responsible for 25 % of the greenhouse gas emissions) by building wind farms. This would drive the price of electricity down and make coal unprofitable.
Censorship isn't the problem it's data sharing policies.
Android's permission system was overhauled in version 6 so that permissions are now generally asked when they are needed, for a specific type of operation, instead of the big dialog when installing.

I personally use several apps where I have granted one set of permissions and denied another (because it was for a feature I don't use). It has gotten a lot better than what it used to be.
They are torts and, if provable, warrant civil lawsuits.
It's not a "teens these days" thing though, short ICQ numbers were constantly hacked and resold fifteen years ago.
You're not alone. I don't have an explanation, but I noticed the same thing - getting tired or slightly intoxicated makes it much easier to code the things I have to (as opposed to things I'd like to, e.g. for a side project). I always attributed it to taking the edge off anxiety I often feel.
This is fixable on android / chromeos by specifically having applications request access to data which is isolated from arbitrary code execution (e.g. "user files" which don't include .bashrc). I think flatpak may need to ultimately have a custom file-browser where the user can "share" subsets of files into a sandbox and then patch applications to use that file browser... or to otherwise build a new filesystem abstraction.

It does have that through portals:

https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal

If you Flatpak a Gtk+ 3 or modern Qt application you get portals for free. E.g. I packaged a Qt application and I am not sharing the home directory - when the user opens a file it uses the Qt/KDE portal (similarly to macOS, ChromeOS, etc.).

As far as I understand the problem is that portals are only available for Gtk+ and recent Qt versions. Some of the applications that the posts mentions use toolkits that probably don't support portals (Java JDK, wxWidgets, etc.).

The situation for Linux is a bit different than e.g. macOS, where practically everything uses Cocoa and Apple could just throw the switch.

So, for applications that do not use vanilla Gtk+ or Qt they still need to make the home directory visible or they would not be Flatpack'able.
I took that to be the point -- we tend to be at our worst online, thanks to the unique combination of anonymity (I can say whatever I want with as many accounts as I want, without meaningful consequences) and absence of social cues (there's nobody around me, so I have no incentive to soften my language or weaken my opinions).

In other words, the way we talk online is not normal. Even outside of the free speech debate, it's worth noting that.
+1 for typescript support. This helps in reducing compile/build time errors and for the devs who are from java/c# background.
Tex Avery and Tom & Jerry were wild and a product of their respective era, sure, but they're definitely not as bad as some of the Elsagate videos.

Did you watch them? Some of them are literally snuff, with tons of gore. The stuff of nightmares.
That's built in already as part of the do not disturb feature. You can set a list of important contacts that can always get through.
Those responses seem like something from the people who don't believe there's an actual problem. Scientists are pretty much universally convinced, the only ones who aren't are paid by big oil and the Koch brothers - that means they are lying for money. We don't debate whether the earth is the center of the universe or is the earth flat, because debating that would be a false equivalence of equal chance, but one side of those debates is absurd. We are basically at that point on the question of does human activities increase global warming (yes), will this be really really bad (yes), can we do something about it (yes, but its hard to decide). Let's not waste time arguing about whether the earth is flat, let's move on to figuring what to do about it.
I think I am okay with contents from bots if they are marked like advertisements ("sponsored contents", etc.). For example, "post from ABC" could instead say "post from ABC, a bot account of XYZ".
Do you mean the Xbox One? I know my 360 was disconnected from the internet for a long time and I played games on it just fine.
Could you highlight his reasoning for being committed Christian? In my experience, it is very hard for intellectuals to cling to their religious beliefs in face of ocean of severe logical contradictions. So many of my discussions have usually ended in “ok, I know what you saying but I am not going to stop believing in [mohamed, Buddha, christ]. How did your discussion ended?

PS: I am not talking about spiritual people, I am talking about religious people who participate in religious processes without question and often financially help their religious institution to further the spread of it.
Breitbart has claimed that the Clintons are not human beings? Or is that made up hyperbole for what they actually said?
And the supremely ironic thing in this case is they are calling us the fascists while silencing us with a straight face.
Google is not just a search engine. When articles/commenters critique Google, they are usually criticizing the entity that oversees not just Google Search, but Maps, GMail, YouTube, Android, Chrome, and Google Cloud. Google/Alphabet's strength in each of these subsidiaries and services has a synergy that perpetuates its lead across those same subsidiaries and services. In other words, not only do most people find Google Search to be great, or at least very satisfactory, they like the convenience of it being mixed with Google Maps/Youtube (video search/Chrome, etc.

The other thing to consider is that "2-3 negative posts" on HN per day may not be indicative of anything, because it's not surprising that a company as massive as Google/Alphabet has a large share of discussion and controversy.
Thanks! If you have any questions or feedback, let me know :-)
Ways macOS handles the this problem:
1. the File Open dialog is itself the permission prompt.

And yet, there are quite some applications that ask you to open the home directory once so that it gets symlinked into their sandbox. It's basically a hack to say 'I need access to your whole home directory'. Of course, it is safer than permitting access by default.

Of course, in many cases there are good reasons (backup software, space usage analyzers). But not everything can be mediated through file dialogs.
> In what sense is what happens online not part of the real world?

This is mainly the reason why the last "real world" was in quotes. When you take statistics of something, you usually want to compare them to something. For me, a natural comparison for internet statistics is some physical places like offices, public streets, schools, bars. "a real world" - I'm not saying that the internet is not part of it.
It’s code for hating conservatives and anti-censorship people.
Quite a neutral and concise briefing I think covering all sides. The unfortunate part of the debate is viewing freedom/liberty vs diginity/civility as exactly opposing forces. That these are seen as opposing forces justifies the view of resting in the middle as though it exists.

Instead of thinking so linearly along these two dimensions, I would suggest using a wider lens. Instead of striving for some of both in a common platform, we should strive for some of both concurrently. I was encouraged by the example of Twitter unverifying accounts, but not banning them, but even that suffers from the single platform effect since unverification is objectively harmful.

Those with qualms concerning unfavorable content should ask themselves whether the concern is that it's promoted/visible by default or that it exists at all. The latter is too hard line of a stand to be seen as anything but censorship and should only be applied in the most extreme cases. But the former is something we can tackle. Simply default to safe and let the user opt in to increasing levels of unsafe. You'll always have the problem of being the arbiter of what resides at which levels (granted you can ask content creators to self-categorize with threats of violation for clear miscategorization) but at least it's better than outright banning/deleting. Just make sure that whatever level the user has set, content that is visible is all treated equally under the algorithms (i.e. no demotion). I personally would turn favorability filters off and encourage others to do the same, but at least defaults exist and levels of moderation can be chosen.

Finally, to shift the rant a bit, I just want to say I welcome self-imposed solutions over legal requirements. I am encouraged to know that, while it's hard to compete with a behemoth (why would you try), you can still legally publish your own content sans filter on your own site or a site with similar views towards your own. We might prefer all the popular sites respect our views on what is allowed, but since that's obviously impossible in a global medium due to cultural subjectivity, don't attempt codify it legally.

It's generally accepted that if we don't zero our carbon emissions in 12 years we'll see 2 degrees warming minimum.

Best case scenario is drought, heatwaves, forest fires, lose half the wildlife in the world, all the coral reefs, most of the fish, reduced crop yield, flooding, storms, sea level rise, and parts of the world are inhospitable, and the populations of those regions migrate north. BEST case. WORST case is runaway warming when all the methane in the arctic is released and the forests that soak up our carbon burn down and the ocean stops absorbing it, and the earth gets so hot that humans literally just drop dead from hyperthermia.

I refuse to believe in the worst case, because the majority of scientists are not going that far, and because it could make a person crazy just thinking about it. Besides, the best case is bad enough already.
Do you think adults are watching these kinds of videos? These aren't content for everyone that is being censored because of the needs of children; This is content explicitly for children that is being censored because of the needs of children.

What's the rationale behind Lanes using a round radio button in todolists, where you'd expect to see a square checkbox? I know it's a trivial thing, but for some reason it jumped at me.
The negative for Google isn't what the briefing suggests, it is that it documents bias, it notes the impossible tension between the US and European values, and says that Google has been leaning away from US values. I think that's what Breitbart would be primarily reacting to.
The document is a showcase of trends, as well as pressures being applied to Google from various groups. Like it or not, Elsagate is a well-documented phenomenon, and this document is treating it like the problem that it is.

This is not a generic "think of the children" reasoning to ban things that adults enjoy -- Elsagate videos are targeted at children, they exploit various mechanisms to make children watch them (some children psychology, but mostly YouTube's recommendations algorithm.)
Last time I had a cubicle, the desks were much smaller than in the open plan part of the office. Half my team got headaches within the first hour from sitting too close to our monitors.
