You'll find lots of pro-nuke trolls on HN who post pro-nuke stories almost daily and down vote anything which implies risks or negative consequences of nuclear, even if those things are established facts.
When I see a quote like that from the article - "it's killing our society and our planet"

Ironically, there are vast swaths of threats and intimidation made on social media that are not censored.
Yes, but redacted.

So we've got to make private industry (facebook has never and will never have the obligation to enforce first amendment rights on their platform, that's for the government) harbor any and all hate groups because if we don't ? happens and suddenly we live in the PRC?

Assuming we all support capitalism here, it should be a pretty simple calculus for Facebook. Does having (neo)Nazis on their site represent more users than they lose for having them.
OP said "biodegrade", which typically ends up releasing all the carbon in the biodegraded object as CO₂ to the atmosphere.
Well obviously it's redacted, but presumably this is the full redacted report, which is what was supposed to be released today

I can’t read most of that article because it’s behind a paywall, but wow, is Watson just the largest attempt to sell vaporware of all time?? They had a super bowl ad!

A few friends from university were hired into the Watson team as hardly technical PMs. I have never heard any of them describe what Watson is or does.
Why exactly should that be illegal? The government should not be the decider of truths.

At least if private entities implement this kind of thing, those who wish can still discuss it someplace else.

Though pushing these things under the rug doesn't have the best reputation (see recent 8chan tied shooting).

What is the point of getting a redacted report? Why is it redacted?
Can anyone explain the criteria for redaction and who gets to decide in this case? The DoJ? A brief skim through shows whole pages redacted.

Why not? Is the problem really just naive color identification? It looks more like classifying uniformity, shape, size, orientation, character imprint, malformation, anomalous objects, etc. Can the problem be solved with a more traditional image processing toolbox? Sure, why not? But what fun is there if we're not swinging HN's favorite rubber mallet at the problem...and then doing it again and again just because.

Keeping with the context of the GP's remark, a solution is more about achieving process speed while minimizing error and human intervention in the face of uncertainty--i.e. single-shot at the package level, which is at least a 50x speed increase over individual mechanical sorting.

I'm pretty amazed as well, honestly. I think people get too emotional when you even discuss this topic. I may disagree, I may even be offended, but so what. Downvoting to oblivion, blocking, banning dissenting opinions is literal censorship. If you disagree with me, write a response that shows how dumb I am and then move on with your life.

That said, any hints I see at trying to force an equality of outcome at the expense of other groups is authoritarian, and should be stopped.
Accessing a paid service by taking the API key out of another app without the consent of the service provider would be theft of services. In most US states theft of services falls under the same law as theft of personal property.
>Communication has become insanely centralized in recent years. Facebook can’t be trusted to have or use your information, but you’re fine with them being the free speech police?

I talked with some friends at the weekend over pints. We didn't need facebook to act as a middleman.

I don't need facebook to stand on soapbox either.

This hasn't changed.

How social media masks mental illness?

More like how people mask mental illness.

It's scary how many people are seething tempests of confused emotion under the hood yet can put on a convincing facade that they are perfectly normal. Just last week one of my co-workers who I've known for years and seemed completely normal on the outside disappeared one day to attempt a Nice-style terrorist attack with a U-haul truck (the FBI nabbed him before anyone was killed).
In the blog post linked above, I make the point that

> Copyright the Project developers

conveys zero information. Of course contributors to a software project hold copyright in it. Who else should?

But who are those contributors? The Blue Oak Model embraces the practical reality: When we want to know contributed to an open software project, we look to development files and revision-control data, not the license.
I'm sure if Facebook existed in the 18th century people like Benjamin Franklin (not exactly a promoter of diversity, shall we say) and Thomas Paine (politically extreme by the standards of the day) would have been banned for spreading hate and advocating violence or something like that. It's very alarming that they're picking a side. It's one thing to censor violent/hateful speech above some arbitrary threshold but to openly announce you're only going to go censor it when one side does not sit well with me.
And now we test the capacity of the justice department's file servers :)
Excellent job! These little patches here and there make a big difference. I'm super grateful for your work (if you're reading this thread :))
Yes it was, in-fact Hero was coveted in India as spending 30-50 INR (~.40$ -0.70$) is a careful decision to a middle class family of 90s & was not an option for the poor.
I'm surprised this didn't make any local news here in Idaho. And such an openness requirement seems at odds for Idaho's usual politics (cf. Idaho's Ag Gag laws).
I don't think that summary is accurate. The Book of the New Sun is deep, heady, high literature, not an indulgent fantasy adventure. It reads like a bit like a mythological holy book, authored by the supposed prophet - and you kind of have to read it like one, to get anything out of it - as if you're doing a deep textual exegesis. Its not A Game of Thrones.

It was definitely an interesting story, though it could be a chore to get through at some points, and I'm still kind of trying to figure out if I actually like it or not, or how much I actually really understood. It definitely won't appeal to many or even most people, I'd say. Its a heavy, somber experience, very little humor.

I will say, upon starting a re-read, it felt like nearly every word/sentence/paragraph in its initial chapters were impressively thick with double meanings, foreshadowings, and themes that only really become clear after finishing the story.

PS - the audiobooks are really well done - the narrator is just perfect.
I hope he uses all the Skittles to decorate a wall or something :) otherwise it's a lot of wasted food
I assume that relevant agencies redact anything that could possibly compromise their field agents, informants, etc.
I don't see how the act of one man filming the outside of a courthouse from the street can cause a trial to collapse. And nothing I see online backs up that claim. In the US there is no danger of a trial collapsing if I film a courthouse from the sidewalk outside of it, it is my absolute right to do so.
A little bit different with Japan as they were banned from making aircraft after WWII for years....
The "Harm to Ongoing Matter" Report
Here is the NBC mirror but served over IPFS if someone is having difficulties reaching it: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVZoRuiYD8ekwd7vXDj7XiGjqWkANa9GKXuYW2...

Edit: finally fully downloaded the PDF from justice.gov's servers. The files are identical.
A good start would be OCR this whole thing.

Yes. I use throw-away email addresses for everything. When a company gets popped or "accidentally" leak my email address, I simply add a header check and reject or discard them. I was on FB for 2 weeks when it started and I still see them in my logs from time to time trying to fish me back into the system.

(Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Passwords)
I have a different take on winners and losers (from left to right):

Airbus > Mitsubishi > Boeing > Bombardier

Airbus - Gained a brand new aircraft for close to nothing, allowing it to sell at a discount that Boeing may not be able to do. Can wait to make key strategic sales for after they purchase Bombardier's 30.99% stake.

Mitsubishi - Learned what to do and not to do from the Bombardier saga. Also learned that there is a potential market for a third competitor.

Boeing - Staved off a potential third competitor which could dilute the profitability of the segment. Didn't want to make the same mistake when it didn't consider the Airbus could become the giant it is today decades ago. (As of today, lost 15% stock from its previous peak, although it may be due to a variety of other problems, including the China/US trade spat)

Bombardier - Was forced to sell off its new jet for close to nothing.
The URL is quite interesting. Is this the only report on the whole justice.gov website?
They're not the "free speech police", they're the "speech on their own platform which they own and operate" police. Why are you pretending not to understand the difference?

Is this from NBC or from the justice.gov server?

That’s an incredibly eurocentric point of view, and not applicable to the vast majority of the human race.
Or protect the guilty.
Preachers are crooked? Never woulda guessed it. Here they all drive brand new caddilacs with whitewall tires and wear custom suits. Hard to tell them apart from the pimps, even when they start talking. It all seems like the same hustle, selling hope and taking donations.
Friendly reminder that this is not a violation of free speech. https://xkcd.com/1357/

This is actually censorship. However, I personally believe that groups that incite violence should be censored.
You can also, as before, find the indictments and convictions (with hundreds of pages of attached evidence) from the investigation: https://www.justice.gov/sco

Numerous convictions for top-level members of the campaign. Detailed operations of the Internet Research Agency, including the many US identities stolen and their work with Cambridge Analytica. Indictments against the "Russian Lawyer" from the Trump Tower meeting that imply she's a spy. Over $60M taken from pro-Russian sources leading up to the invasion of Crimea, that was laundered through NYC real estate.

Don't go into reading the report thinking you'll find something new in there that'll blow your mind. You've already had plenty of giant scandals sitting on a public government server for months.
and the president's childrens...
They can't really 'piggyback' since disclosing your account authentication details is against the ToS of the bank.
Because our country has lost 6 million people in WW2 and the holocaust, estimated 1/5th of total population. Saying that it hasn't happened is more than just a lie - it's attacking the core being of our identity and denying the atrocities that were done against us. It should be illegal and luckily it is.

Like - imagine if US was attacked and the attacker killed 60 million Americans. I can almost guarantee that no matter how strongly Americans believe in the 1st amendment, saying that it hasn't happened would be made illegal.
It might or might not be worth it, but whatever it is, merely having a story about "an executioner becoming a tyrant" won't be the reason...
It looks like they're concerned that releasing some of the details would compromise other investigations that haven't yet concluded.
Mercifully, though, modern airliners aren’t made by 1970s-era General Motors.
Facebook are a private company; they can remove whatever material they want from their platform. Comments about free speech laws are misinformed: you would be allowed to delete whatever comments you wanted from your own blog.

Having said that, I don’t like the idea that some people at Facebook decide what’s “spreading hate” or not. Are they banning extreme left wing groups too or not? Imagine Facebook was a company from China, Russia or the Middle East, where those governments could pressure them a lot more. Imagine the small group of people deciding what is “spreading hate” today leave the company and some political ideologies take over that position a few years down the line. Do we trust their judgement as much now?
......who?
To be honest, there's no reason to portray an authentic lifestyle on Facebook. Because the more accurate or authentic you share on Facebook, the more likely they cut/data mine/analyze it to the point where they (and also everyone else on Facebook) might know about your life than you do - with predictive AI, that's worth a lot of thousands dollars of ad dollars.

I don't have any mental illness but I do a deliberate effort to portray something else on Facebook and Twitter. You can't share anything private. Who knows, border agents, customs or criminals might use it against you in the future.
On the wall at the National Security Archive office down at George Washington University, we have a piece of White House email that was sent to Colin Powell when he worked in the White House. The two versions are almost mirror images in the sense that the top and bottom of one version are blacked out. The middle of the second version was blacked out. The top and bottom were released, and they were declassified 10 days apart. The punchline: it was the same reviewer both times. I called him up. His name was on the document. "What were you thinking?" I asked. And he says, "Well there was probably something in the Washington Post that was sensitive about Libya the first week, so I had to cut that paragraph out. But the next week it wasn't Libya, it was the Saudis or something, so I had to cut that paragraph out."
I look forward to Alex Jones becoming the kind of forbidden knowledge that the flat earthers had to distribute using flyers & home-printed tabloids in the pre-internet days.
I've had problems with YALP store suddenly being unable to find su and then no longer working. F-Droid is in the same boat where it gives you the choice of a few different methods to install apps, because it's still trying to find where it fits in.

IMHO that place is sideload as system app when you first install the OS. Which was my solution to the YALP issue.

(YALP store is not on my actual phone - that only has F-Droid)
Literally most of the redactions say "Harm on Ongoing Matter", so my best guess is that releasing them would hurt currently running investigations?
Same about Gmail. For a long period, it was only performing well on Chrome.
It was redacted by U.S. Attorney General William Barr who reports to the President.
Redactions will fall into several categories, including material that is relating to ongoing investigations, material that relates to methods or sources, grand jury material, and items that concerns unindicted persons of interests.
Do you seriously believe they don't bend to political pressure nor operate under their own political leanings when making such decisions?
abcnews on their livefeed said they would be producing a searchable document
While specific agencies may be consulted and influence what is redacted, the AG is the individual tasked with actually blacking it out
I have seen enough kids that age to know that there is no need (or even possibility actually) for them to understand reasons behind boundaries, only the existence of said boundaries.

I also have myself been a kid who grew up with no gaming console in the age of Pokemon, who never indulged in kid music and derivates, who did not wear brands, who did not get to own a pet, and many other things my parents didn't allow, no matter how often I asked for them.

Is it that hard to admit one's own laxism that there's need to resort to badly aged sophisms ?
It is decided by Attorney General Barr, a Trump appointee that has repeatedly demonstrated improper behavior with regards to this investigation.

For this reason, lawsuits will immediately follow unless he provides spotless justifications for each redaction (behind closed doors).
If he's wrong, he's wrong regardless of his name or the age of his account.
That's because the US made you as part of the Marshall Plan (assuming where you are from is Germany)
That kind of thing happens often in your circle, does it?
The only way such a move would have the desired effect is if those countries also took up Japan's extremely restrictive migration policies. That is unlikely to happen in most lower-nativity (i.e. 'western' or 'westernised') countries.
The problem is everyone wants to charge a $10 to $20 monthly subscription. If Netflix can fund billions in film production for $12 monthly why does a newspaper need more?
I don't think contributing back on Blue Oak terms is a condition of the Blue Oak Model License, in the sense of https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#contributions. Rather, the Blue Oak Model clearly expresses the expectation that all contributors will do so.

Expressing that expectation in writing can help make a legal case that submitting a contribution for inclusion in the public project implies a license under the same terms. But that's a distant second best to creating a written, public record of each contributor's affirmative intent to license their work under Blue Oak Terms.

That evidence doesn't have to look like a "formal" CLA. It could be as simple as a public comment on the PR:

> I license my contributions under Blue Oak Model 1.0.0.

It could be as simple as having contributors add their names to a THANKS or AUTHORS or CREDITS file in the repo, under a note that everyone licenses BlueOak-1.0.0, with Git commit data showing each contributor added their own name.
Thanks, but have no fear. I'm a nerd, I learned to ignore haters ages ago.
I am not comparing it to anything, I just work with lots of people that have needlessly put themselves through months of this senseless diet. It excludes healthy food groups for no scientifically established reason. It's unhelpful to even mention. If the habits you gained from Whole30 are that you eat less processed foods and sugars, then that's all you need to suggest.
This is a very difficult topic, however I've got a similar feeling to you. Once the news broke out that they would be doing these things, the headlines mentioned also "nationalism" would be banned.

The American Revolution was a nationalistic revolution. Heck, some folks got together to found a new nation! There's nothing more nationalistic than founding a nation.

Also every nation on earth is nationalistic, by pure definition of what a nation is. What do they mean when they say they would ban nationalism? Nationalisms without state-backing? e.g. Basque nationalism?

We certainly have a problem with hate speech and social media, but even though I have no idea about how to solve it I fear this might not be a step in the right direction.

She wasn't a physicist, she was a computer scientist. Harrassing her was wrong, but so is what happened to this physicist. Stop trying use her to push divisions. If you truly cared about harrassment, you'd be just as offended at what happened to this guy as much as you are about her. Also, people like you do far more to push women and minorities out of STEM than anything. You are constantly telling women and minorities what a terrible racist and misogynist place academia is.

What is this that you refer to exactly? The deep non uniformity of our current society and politics, globally, indicates that there is, at the very least least, a lot of room to maneuver and improve. Liberalism, for example, likes to push the narrative of the least bad option, but often it does so to reject ideas that have a clear precedent of working better than the ongoing decline of equality and flight of alienated workers towards reactionary politics we have now.
To be fair, it is literally censorship. It isn't government censorship, but it is a body of people making decisions about what topics and ideas are not allowable. I see a danger in that, and you are right — I'm not going to like the direction social media and communication in general seem likely to go.
I think the point the article was trying to make was that what the CEO tried is classically delusioned thought processes from a rich privileged person. His business experience was not applicable to the situation but he thought it was. And it's people like him, and his broader political views, that are stymieing the things that have been shown to work.

It's negative because it's tiresome. Will these people ever realize that their time, money, and lobbying are better put towards programs that work?
