What free market?

When a person is mandated to purchase insurance that is not a free market.

When insurance companies have monopolies in an entire state and it’s illegal to purchase insurance from another state, that is not a free market.

When hospitals are partly state funded, tax-free organizations, that is not a free market.

When hospitals are required to treat patients regardless of their ability to pay, that is not a free market.

When medical bills are paid by Medicaid, that is not a free market.

Healthcare in the United States is anything but a free market. Down vote me, if it makes you feel better, but it will not change this fact.
This would be perfect opportunity for some enterprising gray or blackhats to wreak havoc.

We know people reuse passwords. I'm sure there are a lot of weak accounts known, or at least suspected. So... if you had a large number of compromised slack accounts, and a complete lack of morals, you could log in with each of them to Slack through Iranian/Syrian proxies.

If Slack are indeed shutting down all accounts that have ever logged in from Iran or Syria, the above could be a brutal denial of service. Followed by a massive PR s##tstorm.

Disclaimer: I don't advocate doing anything like that. I just point out that there might be a way to weaponise the backfire...

ProtonMail, maybe.
I get emails from Epic to enable 2 factor often enough, I refuse because I have a strong password, I don't want to give them my phone and I have nothing to lose if I lose my account since I am not spending anything on it.

It should be much harder to change the email linked to an account, if the email password is in the data leaks then there is really nothing you can do.

Can someone point to a change in US sanctions that would have caused this now?

Can someone explain an interpretation of US sanctions that causes situations like this?

This could be US sanctions or it could be a companies poor reading of them.
This is another strong case for open source software development along with open, publicly available, standards and protocols.

This isn't about Slack, it isn't about US sanctions law. It is about any private entity creating closed sourced, remotely hosted software. Everyone knows that APIs can be pulled at any time (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) Spying can be mandated whether it is the US government, China, or anyone else.

As end users it is never clear what is going on behind the curtain. It is never certain the product will be here tomorrow - whatever the reason. No one would build a high rise where all of the elevators could suddenly vanish, yet we are increasingly putting the critical pieces of our businesses and our lives in the hands of entities that only need to flick a switch and everything instantly vanishes.

I could see the server side effectively operating like a public wifi hotspot and force all routing to a disclaimer type page.

Then you could implement the 2FA there (or even proper username/password logins, which seems weird for WireGuard). If you enter the correct 2FA code, then your IP is no longer blocked.

I know phones (and computers) can handle this when connecting to a new WiFi SSID, but do they also run their check when connecting over VPN? I might have to try that.
I don't agree that much with what you are saying, mainly from personal experience.

1. Even if parents find out they probably have no idea what it means (legally or literally)
2. You can open a bank account really easily online for free. (You can find photoshop ID templates for every possible country, maybe they check them more nowadays but some years ago you didn't even need to change any of the hashed numbers and it would be accepted by most services, even PayPal)
3. I did get caught at one point by my parents, they proceeded to take away every bit of technology they could find, so I ended up doing more shady stuff (on a lended machine at mcdonalds) to make enough to buy a new computer and keep on with life as usual. Had to re-buy a new computer every year or so when they found out.

My perspective on the thing is that most parents won't even fathom the idea of what hacking is, so finding out their kid is a "hacker" won't change a thing in their day. And if it does a "hacker" will always find a way to keep on going anyway, trying to not get caught along the way, it's the job spec.

Now what I can agree on is that if the kid tells their parents they're getting money illegally and asking their parents to hold it in their bank account, and the parents agree, then that's just plain stupidity, and a lot of that goes on in the world, parent or not parent...
Honestly, I hope they do! Simply put, the company is ethically bankrupt and deserve to be made an example of how not to run a social network.

You can't go selling peoples private messages to Netflix (the sheer audacity of that just blows my mind!). You can't allow peoples private data to be sold to data analytics firms that are trying to sway elections.

Facebook is built on the belief that people don't need privacy and I think that's fundamentally wrong.

As an aside, I hope people continue migrating to https://MeWe.com which has a clear privacy bill of rights at its core and zero ads. It makes money in a far more traditional approach by charging for "pages" and extended emotions etc.
I'm at a loss as to why the US is still dead set to have no meaningful health coverage.

>I guess "just Google for Mu" won't work any more

Has it so far? Did you say "Mu"? In that case people could have googled for all kinds of things: Mew or moo or me or something else. And even if they knew how it is spelled the first results would have been the greek letter mu, the zen mu, or the football team Manchester United. In Sweden a lot of the results were about a children's tv-programme, Mamma Mu.

Your editor is not on the first, second or third page of Google, I didn't look any further, because who does?

It's probably good for you that you realised saying "just Google for Mu" won't work "anymore".

Never pretended I did either. I also don't really have to, the argument stays bad anyway.
Some of the parents are probably under the impression that the activity is legitimate/legal. Kids can make a lot of money in technology (apps, games, mods, etc.). Parents may not be able to easily tell the difference. They just think they have a wonder kid and are proud.
Yeah, and from jordank's comment about his wife, they're using logs from years ago. That is impressively stupid.

I would expect a lot more from Slack.
Yeah, they're clearly not checking the ethnicities of everyone using their service, but this still seems rather harsh, and with no appeals process too?
One, no, you are not legally entitled to shut down accounts on the basis of race or national origin, if that's what they're doing.

Two, they may have to at least return the data: if I let you use a desk at my place and you start doing business there, I am pretty sure I cannot legally refuse you entry and hold on to your papers.

Three, even if they are, we're also legally entitled to call Slack incompetent losers, and to tell our employers that we should not switch to Slack if we wish to continue being co-workers with Iranians. I will be telling my employer that shortly. (One fascinating aide effect of using Slack is thst the entire company must conform to Slack's policies. You cannot hire someone whom Slack won't create an account for, nor someone who won't agree to Slack's ToS, because if they're not on Slack they can't get work done.)

> However, CC0 does not contain a patent grant and so it's probably not the best choice for software if you are looking for an open source license.

Patent license scares are greatly overblown and really only a realistic danger in case of corporate code. People tend to have the decency to point out that the algorithms contained in the code are patented. A license containing a patent grant might actually be dangerous because it creates a false sense of security for the receipient, thinking they have a valid title, only to find out later that corporation X actually had a patent on this algorithm.

Additionally, if you're sitting in a European jurisdiction, a patent license is completely pointless. Because software patents don't exist there. There's literally nothing that could possibly be licensed.
> consider either moving Slack to another jurisdiction like Canada, the EU, Switzerland

I wouldn't put Canada in the same company as the EU or especially Switzerland, Canada is generally very happy to play ball on these matters.
Security only works properly when applied to all layers.

It is very educative to read about security models on Multitics, ClearPath, System 360/370, OS/400 among many other similar systems, their attack vectors, and what we ended up getting by having winner takes it all with UNIX based systems.

This year we celebrated 30 years of Morris worm.
This is a good point. And I'm highly inclined to believe this happens at a subconscious level as well.
Why on earth would a lack of social capital in the 'underclasses' require "eliminating wealth inequality" in order to solve? The material living standards of many "poor" people are far from low! If we truly want to be cynical about it, we could actually surmise that what the elite of this country fear most is a ruinous fall in their established status and prestige, not their wealth. No matter what else you might think about '45', the election of a President who built most of his successful campaign on supporting the average folks over the 'out-of-touch' elite also suggests that this is where the actual fault-lines of modern politics are.
OP here. I would partly agree. But at the time I posted the link, I only had examples from Iranian people that are living in other countries using Slack and getting banned. Now that I have heard more stories about people from Syria and even one US person, I wouldn't post it again with that description.

I'll leave it to the mods to change the description accordingly, if they feel inclined to do so.

UPDATE: The mods have changed the description to "Is Slack shutting down accounts of those ethnically associated with Iran?"

Most (but not all) will go through the expedited "settled status" process. Those not eligible or rejected for dumb Home Office reasons will have to apply for ILR. https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families

Speaking to my immigrant colleagues it sounds like it's all fine unless you hit Home Office bureaucracy, in which case it can rapidly turn into an expensive nightmare.
Not ethnicity, the slide would say more or less "we have a deep network of foreigners who are thrilled to come here and work for very competitive salaries, so our burning rate will be lower than the competition".

I've seen this happen also in Silicon Valley, I've personally participated in conversations with startup founders quoting their ability to tap into cheap labor under the form of "talented, naive and visa-handcuffed immigrants" a major competitive advantage.
You should be able to use GDPR to force them to give you your data, probably not to reinstate services.

It seems the harder restrictions were lifted in 2014 in the EU due to member state disputes.
To put a finer point on it: open communications protocols driven by free software and end-to-end encryption both are and should be above the law, at least where the law purports to create national boundaries on the internet.

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.

I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.

I concur the fact that grandchildren or the wife's second husband, or corporate executives living off copyright long after a person died in old age is obscene. However 10 years is equally absurd in the opposite direction. A book can take 10 years to write, or 10 years to get published and more than 10 years to get popular. George R R Martin has been writing GoT books for 22 years and I'd hate to see him lose ownership of the characters and stories when he is still writing more in the series. That would be horrible. Asimov was writing Foundation novels for 50 years.

Transitioning a book to film or TV can easily take 10 years or more and I think is a reasonable source of income for an author. It would seem obscene to me that an author could write a book and then 10 years later see major motion pictures released for the same material earning studios hundreds of millions and they get nothing.

Most authors earn a small stipend from their work and rely on that income through retirement, so I think a term until death, or commensurate with a single lifetime to support immediate family such as a spouse is reasonable, but that's it.
Counter-drones? With nets? Shotguns? Polymer filament glue? Drones on CAP around airports? (I'm thinking cyborg titanium falcons, à la the Rat-Things in Snow Crash.)

Given the cost of delaying operations at a major airport for even an hour, it can't be too long before some legislation promising violent penalties, and allowing drone takedown.

Insurance companies benefit from all those tricks: medical care billing is too complex to understand unless you have a full time team of people to understand it. Insurance companies have this team and you don't.

Vision doesn't work that way because enough people don't have basic vision care that they won't stand for the complexity.
You are not entitled to Slack's infrastructure, no matter how much you came to depend on it for your day-to-day life.
I've done time with a state system and also with the federal system. I decided during my second incarceration to get my act together and I cakewalked my release supervision.

The post-release supervision is there for a reason. People in prison talk about how they're going to have a blast when they get out. Live it up. Do exactly the kind of things that led to them breaking the law in the first place.

I got a saying for those people who cry about prison and cry about the "bs" they gotta put up with on release: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

* Have a goal to the encounter (the goal can be laughter, good feelings, learning whether the conference buffet is any good...)

* end conversations when they've ended. If you're at a networking event it's OK to have 5min conversations with people about what they do, if you don't think you can entertain them further.

* Try to notice when you're repeating yourself. To do that have group conversations with friends and ask them if they thought you insist too much on a particular issue generally.
* When people are having fun they talk louder, faster, kind of lean into you. Optimize for that.

* The converse is also true. If you laugh, smile, and generally talk like you're having fun, it makes people feel more comfortable.

* When people are talking about a subject and they're suddenly talking a little faster, nod and ask questions.

* When people are talking about a subject but don't look too engaged (look around, fidget, move between ideas), build on what they say but switch to a subject you may be able to talk about in some detail.

* if it feels too challenging in specific situations, try to convert the situation to a group conversation. Ask dates to board games meetups, go to networking events with another professional, join conversations of existing groups, etc. It's easier to sustain conversations in groups.
The guy is bitching so much in the thread, claiming that he's been profiled based on his race (and not the fact that he connected to Slack from Iran at some point), that it's hard to take him seriously.

I think this highlights the precarious situation most people find themselves in today when it comes to communication channels and data that is being stored in the cloud.

Maybe deploy a very fast drone that's purpose built to hunt down other drones. It could 'lock' on to the target drone via some combination of image recognition and operator input, and then deploy some kind of netting/arresting functionality when within close range. Sounds like a fun project.
In a free market the incentives are different though. in-network only is a thing because hospitals don't have any incentive to ensure everyone is in network.
