Title: Towards a peer-to-peer imageboard: essential elements thereof and approaches compared

Author: Fredrick R. Brennan

Date: March 16, 2019

If someone who wants "more censorship" as the WSJ article espouses, along with “I have no desire to ever be involved in the image-board world again,” he said. “A lot of these sites cause more misery than anything else.”

.... Why would you work on a P2P censorship resistant, completely anonymous imageboard? Page 5 of that document puts it best:

"The Christchurch massacare adds new urgency, with publications like The
Verge floating the idea of shuttering 8chan, Forbes flat out asking whether or
not 8chan should be “wiped from the web”, and the ever poorly researched Daily
Dot offering its attempting to instigate action against 8chan and imageboards
more widely."

I don't believe the WSJ in their reporting. They either got duped, or wrote an intentionally false article.
Not many, but one of the arguments going around is that self reinforcing bubbles have helped create this problem, so forcing people into a smaller more self reinforcing community seems counter-productive.
>So if you conduct a 100 experiments, you'll get a 100 (non-overlapping) CI's! So in which of those 100 CI's does the "true population mean" lie ? All 100 of them ? 95 of them ?! You tell me.

I don't know why you get the idea that all 100 will be non-overlapping. That's simply false.

And yes, if your assumptions were correct, regular (i.e. frequentist) statistics will state that roughly 95% of the CIs will contain the true mean. There is nothing absurd about it.
I think he is confused by "Launch of pre-orders" vs "Launch of the product". It's an easy mistake to make.
Sounds like the new ban will make NZ similar to Australia in regards to firearm regulation. Sounds pretty good to me - shootings are very rare down under, and anecdotally all the farmers I know have access to firearms when needed.

Reading as a layman.
Hmmm... if people are gaming the links, it seems to have worked. I think I searched for "wood clock" to find an example and that was the first non-sponsored link that came up.
> It is obviously troubling to see self driving cars run into solid and stationary objects, but human drivers do that all the time too. The question shouldn't be whether this technology is perfect, it should be whether this technology is safer than humans

I fail to understand this line of reasoning. Are you saying because humans tend to run into solid objects it is okay if the self driving cars do it, only if it does less times than humans?
Again, we know that media obsession over a single attacker has actual, measurable effects on violence rates. If we have the option of not naming these attackers, we should take it. They are not leaders of nations, they are not part of groups, they are literally trying to be celebrities.

We can talk about what they did and what they believed, but we don't have to name them and turn them into celebrities. We don't have to become publishers of their propaganda.

> It's not cynical to realise will find a way to profit from this, it's realistic.

It's not "realistic" if there's literally no universe in which a leader can prove to you that they actually care. Nobody can prove that they feel a certain way to somebody else. At least if they do the right thing, we can be happy. Invading Iraq wasn't the right thing, even at the time.
You need to charge them roughly a magnitude less than your phone. That's once a week or more if you charge your phone everyday because your usage of your phone is supposed to directly correlate with your usage of the airpods.

So, unless you use your wired headphones on other devices, it's not a good comparison.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-style_semi-automatic a "military-style semi-automatics" is a weapon with:

* Folding or telescopic butt

* Magazine that holds, or is detachable and has the appearance of holding more than 15 cartridges (for .22 rimfire)

* Magazine that holds more than 7 cartridges, or is detachable and has the appearance of holding more than 10 cartridges (for other than a .22 rimfire)

* Bayonet lug

* Pistol grip as defined by regulation

* Flash suppressor

And I'm unclear how banning any of those things would have made any difference at all. Except maybe the large magazine, although in the video you can see him swap magazines several times.
And if your trip on autopilot is 99.9% reliable, how would you feel about that stat?

Do you find yourself paying attention to the road context the entire time? I'm curious if your mental acuity has dropped over time as the car has driven you.
Ok I misread that comment entirely. I thought the comment meant she legally has to say it. The comment seemed opposed to the policy so much I read the comment a bit differently.
what a wonderfully well written news story from an organization I don't normally expect to invest in long form writing. Andrew Evans is a rising prolific writing journalist.
I don't necessarily disagree with your point about the correlation, but there are a few things I'd like to call out.

First, why not demo partially complete and/or staged but not deployed work? Tangentially, doing things to appease sales is a quick way to reach local optima and build a directionless product (same thing for customers). A good product person will take their requests, identify the problems, throw out things that don't fit the vision, and incorporate the important parts. Sales shouldn't be your drivers, they should be your eyes and ears.

"ASAP" isn't a deadline. It helps you understand urgency, but not importance. Don't waste your time with urgent unimportant things.

> Management generally doesn't care when code is done, they care when it's done and deployed.

I'd argue that these two are the same thing. I'd even take it one step further and say you shouldn't consider your work done until it is deployed and verified working. Thats why you don't deploy on Fridays.

> Fair enough, but I'll observe that in my experience deadlines and deploys are often strongly correlated.

For some code this is true, but not all of it. I'm sure every team is different, but most code I deploy either has no deadline or has a deadline more than a few days out. Of the remaining stuff, deadlines can almost always be pushed back if the work isn't done. Not ideal, but usually a possibility. No need to work over the weekend unless there's a hard deadline which can't be pushed back, which is (or should be) exceedingly rare.

I don't think so - if I read about an 8 year old winning a tennis championship, I'd assume they're playing with other kids.

The interesting and impressive part comes not only from the achievement itself (winning the championship) but doing it despite their situation and past (refugee, homelessness, etc)

30k deaths a year in US, 50 years of driving. That is 1.5M deaths over your lifetime. Let’s say there are 690M drivers throughout your lifetime. You have a quarter of a percent chance of driving being your cause of death.

Also, 2.45% of deaths worldwide are from road accidents:

I could talk about a lot of specific circumstances, but in the interest of brevity I'll say this: The reason I believe a well-rounded statistics education is so valuable is because it ultimately teaches you to think critically about questions and answers. Good experimental design is driven by a solid understanding of theory--what statistical assumptions must be satisfied, which ones can be reasonably assumed or violated, and whether they're realistic to achieve.

I don't believe you need a PhD to call yourself a scientist, but I do think one common trait most scientists share is curiosity. To that end, I would encourage practicing data scientists who might not have a formal statistics education to not shy away from statistical theory. A solid theoretical understanding is what guides you when the questions and answers aren't clear--and I think the fundamental shortcoming of many data science programs is that they prepare their students for extremely simplified (and therefore unrealistic) questions with easily obtainable answers relative to what will be encountered in the real world.

I apologize for giving you an answer that isn't as coherent as I would like to it be. I tried not to be too verbose, but I think I failed at that anyway. I have a lot of feelings on this topic that I haven't fully articulated to myself yet. I could answer your first question if you're still interested, but as an addendum to my original comment, even though my statistics degree has gained me nothing in terms of career advancement or an increase in salaries or opportunities, its been truly invaluable to me as a programmer and a public speaker and advocate for the critical thinking skills it taught me. I hope others continue to recognize statistics value in academia and are curious of it.
That's not stereopsis. And it's terribly inaccurate.
Both of your leading assumptions are incorrect: I understand your point, and I am not ignoring it. I didn't bring up the USA, you did, so I didn't bother making your argument for you. My guess was that you assume I am fine with the US, but not the EU. I brought up 1984 and the Cold War as things that shaped my thoughts on the subject of one-world government or super states in general. I brought up Trotsky to show that there were different ideas of a united Europe, not to say its modern incarnation, the EU is a Trotskyist superstate - your words. I am more of a free-market anarchist, so the US and the EU both are not at all my cup of tea, if we're going to idealize or dream. I have nothing to justify per your remark in comparing them. But now, for fun I'll bite on a comparison for you. The US even during the early years was not as defined by so many different languages and regions as Europe was and is, even if you include the English, Dutch, Spanish, and French settlers/explorers/colonizers, and the Native American population. The US is a young nation. The idea of a United States came early on in the country's formation into a Federal Republic. Each European nation, even with shifting borders and leaders over time, remained separate until realtively recently with the formation of the EU. You may choose to invoke Trump as the tip of your spear in this argument about the US, he's an easy target, but there is more than just one populist leader in Europe with AfD in Germany, the Freedom Party in Austria, Macron in France (almost Le Pen), Italy (oh, boy), Hungary, Slovenia and Poland to name a few. People seem to get confused over the electoral college's role in US politics. I am confused on how Juncker got elected, and now Salvini has his sights on the coming May elections. With Brexit and the rise of populism in Europe, I can paint a few nightmares, but I am an optimist.
I run a 15" HP zBook. FWIW I configured it without discrete graphics as I don't game and it's supposed to be better for battery life.

If you want something more in the "thin and light" category everyone I know with a recent XPS 13 loves it.

Also using either TLP or PowerTOP is important; many distros don't have that out-of-the-box.
This one of many Bayesian vs. frequentist blog posts where the frequentist example is presented in such bad faith or is so wrong that it's impossible to take seriously. Why is the sample mean used for the frequentist CI when it is not a sufficient statistic, and especially since it appears after the section discussing a "common sense approach" in which the author does mention a sufficient statistic: min(D)? All this blog post shows is reasonable bayesian approaches are better than frequentist approaches where common sense isn't allowed.
I for one think she was unduly prosecuted.
Completely agree. If you want a generic parser for HTML-like tags, templates or anything where the context isn't a full HTML page, you definitely want syntactically correct/valid markup.
Could be something completely unrelated to psychology. Like Botox, for example. I believe they use it to treat eye ticks, so it seems plausible it might reduce blinking.
The World Happiness Report – Finland Again Is the Happiest Country in the World
Thanks, yes! I've been struggling with this! I have considered company to be remote when they are looking for remote team members (posted a remote job on the Internet) or they have members in more than one city without having offices in all of these locations.

I've been visiting a lot of "our team" pages lately! The degree that these companies are "remote" varies a lot, yes! A lot of them are just starting out to be remote and are looking for their second remote team member or something like that.

Obviously it's far from perfect and I've been working on this as a sideproject for a few past months. It's interesting topic for me though! I too work remotely and I see more and more companies going remote which is very cool. I'm much more productive coding from home than going to office every day.

Also, you have a good point with this "entirely remote" Gitlab example. I've been thinking about how to ask this from companies – how remote are you? I guess % is one option, but it makes it too complicated I think ("we're 60% remote"). I currently have a checkbox:

Remote first – hiring and working from all over the world instead of from a central location (found this from remoteonly.org manifesto although they have this as "remote only")

and you can find companies based on that. I think that's enough. Probably I don't care to search for companies who are 30% or 50% remote, but I would like to to know if they are in a "remote first" mindset or not (office + two remote devs). Also, this % changes all the time!

So I have been thinking about terms "remote first", "remote only" and "partly remote" and I don't have definitions for them really :)

For example, "remote only" maybe shouldn't definitely mean that there's really like no office at all – think Doist for example, I think they have an office but I would call them "remote only" or "entirely remote" as majority of the people is spread accross the globe:
https://remotehub.io/doist

All ideas and suggestions would be really helpful on how to differentiate these remote levels!
I suspect the problems of Hy are caused precisely by not compiling to bytecode, but to Python abstract syntax. I suspect that a Lisp that bypasses this syntax and goes right to bytecode could do things better: have a real let and such.
I've noticed the same on Spam filtering as well. It used to be instant but now more and more I see things show up for a few minutes before disappearing. I also just recently set up a new gmail account that required some filtering to a sizeable inbox and it was very painful because of the delays.
The weekly standard is an 'interesting' source. Did you also notice the featured article, https://www.weeklystandard.com/holmes-lybrand/fact-check-was....
I'd assume they'll be heavily regulating semiautomatic weapons, similar to Australia. I think that's where most of the benefit would come from - I imagine it's a lot harder to commit a mass shooting with a bolt action .22
Then I’m going to let exactly that happen.
> Also: it's terrible to tell a young kid "you are very talented" and similar; positive encouragement is good but it's better to praise effort.

Whether this is true or not is controversial; it's primarily based on research which has many supporters, but which has also failed replication despite many attempts. See Carol Dweck's wiki page (including the "criticism" section) for more.

Hey, where'd those goalposts go?!

> I like dogs myself. But others don't so it's nice they have at least a few options on communities to live where they don't have to deal with dogs.

No, there's nothing "nice" about it. It was a shitty thing for the board to do to a community with lots of existing dog owners who had no say in the process. Now the neighborhood has to try to turn over enough board seats to get rid of the rule. The main instigator was a cranky old lady who is now gone, so it's probably just a matter of time. In the meantime it looks like people are largely ignoring it, but that's not a solution.

To me, the "isolated examples" like this are reason enough for HOA reform movements that seem to be gaining momentum across the country. The fact that HOAs can so easily forbid activities that residents enjoyed when they bought their home, such as walking their dogs, is proof to me that new laws are needed to restrict their power.

C is an interesting contrast. There is no "C runtime". There is just the target machine. A C interpreter in C has no advantage over one in any other language, because every detail of the source language of the interpreter is washed away in compilation, along with the compiler.

In Lisp, everything is still there. "Resolves a symbol" relies on the runtime. "Calls apply" relies on the runtime. You don't need to write those, because you inherited them.
This is another good point, thank you! I have a "hiring region" for remote companies to fill in, but I have almost zero info about this for now.

Also, not really sure how to fill this in exactly. Currently I have some checkboxes like "Europe", "North America" etc which is ok I guess.

I would like to make this searchable, so let's say I can specify my city and see companies that hire in this region.

Again, suggestions would be helpful!
Oh wow, Australian ISPs have blocked voat/4chan/8chan
In the contexts I care about, this absolutely is pedantry.

If I as a layman make the assertion, "I am an atheist," and a perfect scientist asks you to translate my statement into an expression compatible with the scientific method, that he could understand, you could do it.

Here, let me try: "VikingCoder is not convinced there is evidence that proves the existence of a being which created the universe."

Feel free to make your own translation, if you are dissatisfied with mine.

And if it turns out that you do not believe there's any difference between the scientifically literate explanation for agnosticism and atheism, THAT'S FINE BY ME.

I believe there is a scientifically literate explanation for atheism which differs from the scientifically literate explanation for agnosticism.

Because we're humans. We are allowed to express opinions. That doesn't mean we have abandoned the scientific method.

I'm allowed to have thought, "I believe we will find the Higgs boson."

I'm allowed to think, "I believe I will never be convinced of the existence of God."

> It's a belief, and can't be proven or disproven by known methods of experimentation or observation.

My atheism absolutely could be disproven by observation. I'd be delighted to go in to listing observations that would disprove my atheism, if you care.

(I think you probably shouldn't have used "or observation" in that statement, if you wanted to be harder on me.)

Also, newer automatic pay machines that take cash are 10x better than the single crease bill rejectors of yore. Amazon likely has no problems installing them, it just doesn't want to staff more cashiers than needed for ADA compliance.
I recently read Searching for Bobby Fisher and Joshua Waitzkin's childhood seemed intense, but not broken. Would you consider him an exception or is that level of intensity itself dysfunctional in your view?

I do agree that integrity and sportsmanship - along with the game's beauty - should be placed higher than defeating opponents and that it often isn't. At some point this may just be the nature of competing at the highest levels, but early scholastic chess shouldn't be that point.

Perhaps part of it is cultural. I grew up playing in Russia as a kid (I showed promise, but didn't go nearly as far as you). Chess was deeply woven into the culture and into my family. I have warm memories of an inspiring game that only encouraged development of integrity and perseverance. I've been hoping my child gets into it.
He did, but watching chess in the U.S. leaves me cold. Obsession with ratings, winning, trophies, pragmatism, and plain cheating at ages when these kids should be imagining themselves as honorable warriors is disheartening. I try to guide him through it - and point out the exceptions - but it always feels like swimming against the tide.

Fair point. The US stamp tax is way lower than 6.5%. I think closer to about 1% or a bit less.
my basic idea here is the success of a pro-freedom site (like voat) is going to depend on the character of the first movers. 4chan succeeds where voat does not because the site has a more robust base of freedom loving people, not all of whom are right wing. I can't even stand voat but I happen to basically agree with em on a lot.
Sure, because banning assault riffles is going to stem the hate. I applaud the effort but the assault riffle didn't become sentient and start attacking people. It took a hateful group of people to carry out these attacks. If we were talking about an Islamic extremist attack there would be far less pivoting to a discussion on gun control. In short, no hate = no attacks; no weapons then maybe it will be a bit harder but there will still be plenty attacks.

I am pro gun control but it is a little known fact that gun control was quite strict in 1930s Germany during the rise of the Nazi party. The point is that hate leads to mass death not weapons. If it wasn't an assault rifle it would have been a series of home made explosives and small arms, or 3D printed weapons, or a gang with swords and bats blocking exits. Stop the hate, don't pivot.

The New Zealand government should mandate anti-bias, anti-hate, diversity training for all government and private employees. Once per year, since there is virtually no education on the topic. Many people get bitter when they hare to take such training. I mean would the government let people get into a car without any training but people are allowed to hurt other with their bias and bigotry. Its a fact it happens. So why not try to stem it. Instead we pivot to gun control as if that is going to remove all hate and stop the problem.
