These are separate issues though- having a monopoly doesn't automatically make you a "public use" company.

The fact is that Facebook already has rules that restrict it far more than "public use" would. Facebook blocks people for bullying, nudity, discussions about drugs and violence, age, and probably many other types of things. You can't even access many of the site unless you register. It's very much different from a town that allows everyone access to its streets (which is the original case we're all talking about here).
Good. Facebook is not a free speech platform, it's a medium like the old media. The more mature it gets the more it will look like TV. They have no reason to pretend to appeal to the geekies or their besties in the valley - they re big enough on their own. Good. On to other ventures
Keybase allows you (nay, encourages you) to set up a "paper key", which is a private key that you store offline (e.g. print it out and stick it in a safe). You can then use this paper key to provision new devices. This way if you lose all of your devices simultaneously (or just have one device to begin with) you don't need to go through an account reset to add a new device.

Note that even with this, any new device added using the paper key still generates its own independent private key. Having per-device private keys is important to be able to revoke devices, and to be able to track which devices were responsible for any given action.
That is highly disputed and has a distinctly propagandistic ring.

Like most people, I haven't the time to study this question in detail, so I don't know the truth about it. But that's part of how propaganda works. By repeating something often enough in enough different places, the impression of a well-documented consensus is created. When one does research it in detail, the entire narrative usually falls apart. But so few people actually have the time to do that, it doesn't matter.

Interesting. I wonder how it compares with Lineage OS in that regard. I'm currently using Lineage, but the attitude on IRC led me to believe the community might not be as committed to privacy as I've come to expect from FOSS projects (people getting mocked about being "freetards" and such), so I've been looking for alternatives.
Do you have a citation for that? All of the reports which I saw were that specific people harassing specific users were flagged as violating the abusiveness clause of the terms of service. Nobody said anything about hate speech or even non-targeted rude remarks before the usual right-wing grievance machine started whining about a private company enforcing its contractual terms.
But they don't say that, and if they did, you certainly wouldn't need any new policies to ban them. There are the 8chan lunatics, but outside that there are a wide range of views on what the white nationalist end-goal is and how to achieve it.

I'm reminded of the Sargon v Richard Spencer debate here. Sargon's line of attack was essentially this: You advocate for an ethnostate, people will not react well to the non-violent policies you publicly advocate to bring this about, thus there will be violence, therefore your rhetoric is violent. Even if you approve this line of reasoning, you have to admit that it can be applied to any separatist movement anywhere in the world.

You can use Citus, as others have mentioned, or something like BDR – but bear in mind that vanilla Postgres will happily do big pile of hot standby servers for scaling reads, and will scale vertically very well.

You might have a case in which you need something faster – I'd argue that there are still better solutions, but YMMV.

Kubernetes has worked perfectly for me in multiple places now. Including where I am now at a large unicorn.

I agree, picking up all the shiny new stuff on hacker news is generally a bad idea. But foresaking new technologies altogether can backfire.

Part of it is how you handle failures. You could always have an aerospace-grade QA process... but for a consumer web product that's almost always going to vastly delay your progress. If you have the ability to fix issues quickly then it's sometimes better to "move fast and break things". If you're working on autonomous vehicle software then this is a terrible idea (I'm looking at you Uber ATG).
It's taxonomically arbitrary but not completely arbitrary, and in fact is grounded in scientific fact.
The US has plenty of history of censorship. The "imminent lawless action" standard was only established in 1969. Prior to that, for example during and shortly after World War I, teaching people how to evade the draft or advocating for them to do so was commonly prosecuted as "sedition". Eugene V. Debs ran for President on a Socialist ticket a number of times, many of which were from prison because he had been convicted of sedition.

This seems absurd to us today, but it was justified the same way people justify banning hate speech today. Even the cliche about "crying fire in a crowded theater" was coined in one of the Supreme Court cases that upheld the laws against sedition, as well as the more general arguments about whether the enemies of open, tolerant societies should be able to weaponize that openness and tolerance against them. If you squint, a lot of the rationale against banning hate speech looks a lot like they're just trying to make the world safe for democracy.

(Was the German Empire really an existential threat to the safety of democratic, open societies around the world? Is white nationalism?)
I think the world in which the browser disappears and all we have is apps is a worse world than the one we have now.

With HTML/CSS we get the relatively easy ability to add extensions to dig deep into the data of a page. One of my favorite extensions is rikaikun which adds popup translation of Japanese words. It can only do this because it can inspect a standardized data structure (the DOM) with standardized APIs.

I also love the ad blockers. They let me not only block ads but also hide parts of websites I find distracting. For example I hide the "Hot posts from other stack exchange sites" section of stack overflow because I find I get sucked into 20-40-60 minute distractions if I don't hide it.

I can also copy and paste nearly any content and link to almost any content.

An a world of native apps none of this is really possible. Every native app will use its own internal representations of data. Different UI kits or libraries. Much of it is un-linkable, un-copyable, It drives me nuts when I can't copy and paste of phone number, or address in a native app.

I don't believe getting rid of the web for a WASI based app world would be a good thing for users.

PS: I think WASI is a great idea. I just think trying to replace HTML based apps with WebAssembly apps using WASI and rendering with WebGPU is the wrong direction for most web apps.

In the article you linked, Cyber Promotions v. America Online seems far more relevant given that it pertains to an individual's right to use an online, non-state-owned platform as a host for arbitrary speech.

In the decision[0], they cite three distinct tests used in previous cases to determine if the company acted as the state by asking if its activities are "state action" (i.e. meaning that removal of speech constitutes a violation of first amendment rights)

1. Is Facebook exercising the exclusive prerogative of the state in its activities?

2. Is Facebook acting with the help of or in concert with a state official?

3. Did the government insinuate itself into a position of interdependence with Facebook to assert itself as a joint participant?

All of these hold for the Marsh v. Alabama ruling, but the argument that these tests pass for Facebook's daily business activities is less convincing.

The town library is not required to carry every book. Librarians make curation decisions; that is what we pay them for.

The reason it’s a tragedy is not unrelated to “free speech.”

It's absolutely right-wing. It's not libertarian, but libertarian isn't equal to right-wing; you can have right-libertarians, but even the most extreme of those is more moderately right (and within the wide classical liberal tradition) than fascists, who are essentially—while certainly there was some novelty involved in Mussolini's time—a conscious throwback further right to classical conservatism.

By investing it. And even the small proportion being kept as cash in the bank is invested by the bank.

If they're investing well, then they're directing that capital to productive uses, helping to produce goods that people buy. If they're investing badly by "gambling" then they will quickly lose their money to good investors who will direct it to productive uses, producing goods that people buy.

Facebook is a private company. They are free to purge whatever they want off the platform for whatever they determine is in their best interest. And that is how it should be.

White nationalists are not a protected group, therefore it is not discrimination. If FB wanted to purge all pro Republican or all Democrat articles from the platform, that would also be in their right (though not best interest).

Do you think that people would choose to ignore housing that isn't close to certain public services, if it existed? No, they would choose to live there because it'd still be closer to their workplace than neighboring cities and what not.

Don't forget that if the private sector isn't spending money to create value for the rest of us where we need it, then the alternative is spending people's money through government efforts. And as with any government effort, it is still less efficient because of its much bigger bureaucratic overhead.
Why do they have the right to use power to suppress viewpoint opponents with 100% flexibility in claiming an individual has wronged a group with no evidence, no clear definition of what the terms are, and no recourse?

It seems like terms like this and hate speech often boil down to “people that are effective at calling out my bullshit”.

It is unethical to with no evidence call republicans or classical liberals Nazis, and then use that as a justification to abuse your power to shut them up. Why not make an argument instead?

On this topic I really recommend Frankfurts [1] terse one hour read arguing that there are three types of statements; attempt at truth, attempt at lies, and attempt to just bullshit people with no regard to relate it to truth. This kind of attempt fall in the third category.

>Not saying it’s wrong, just wondering what the crime is (aiding and abetting?

I didn’t say it was a crime I said it creates liability, this is a civil case about civil liability after all.

For example there are tons of civil cases against businesses that sell ammunition, there are endless such cases against Walmart alone, where the ammunition ends up being used in the commission of a crime.

More often than not Walmart prevails in the ammo cases because there is usually no evidence showing Walmart knew or should have known the buyers intent to use the bullets in a crime (it’s probably true that many times the buyers had not such intent when the bought the ammo). Still there are cases where plaintiffs can prove the seller did in fact know, should have known or even could have predicted the intent of the buyer to use the ammo in a crime.

All that said it’s also true, though far less likely the liability could raise to a criminal level.
I'm wondering why the article fails to mention that there is a sufficiently good and easy mechanism to compare and verify the new safety numbers. You just talk to your peer and read the numbers - and the peer can verify them.

This will fail when AI software gets really good at imitating voice in real-time during casual talk, but we're not there yet (or - if that is my threat model, I'll find an out of band way to verify)

The question here isn't whether Facebook/Twitter/etc. have a right to control what is on their platform, they absolutely do. The question is whether there should be safe harbor provisions that protect them from legal repercussions of what they do choose to allow on their sites.

A case can be made to protect someone who allows all comers, who increases the reach of the public to communicate with each other, and who extends the scope of public discourse to be protected from the legal consequences of what their users say. The same case is a lot harder to apply to an institution that curates the content they choose to publish. By way of comparison, telephone carriers, an industry that exerts no editorial control, are largely not legally liable for what customers say over the phone network. Newspaper publishers, who have absolute editorial control, on the other hand are legally responsible for what they publish.

Which of these are Facebook and Twitter? My answer is that the more they limit speech that is not legally criminal then the more liability they should have for what they allow.

Back to my first post, I don't think it's not wrong to describe these operations as monoidal. Or to say that a monoidal operation implies something can be run in parallel, this whole thing feels a bit pedantic.

mempty <> x = x
