You mean s/photographic/video/ evicence, right? Because I'd hope everyone had very limited baseline trust in photographic evidence for the past two decades. Photoshop isn't new.
"Don't you see that labeling or discriminating between "free speech of type A, allowed" and "free speech of type B, disallowed" defeats the whole notion of "free"?"

Yeah, why are you allowed to play tennis but you aren't allowed to kill people? Why can you say John's a good person but you can't say he molests children? Why can you shout "fore" on a golf course but not "fire" in a movie theatre?

There's always a limit. Choosing to stop your for-profit web service from enabling bigotry and murder seems a pretty low bar here. Let me know when it's being used to prevent the discussion of ideas such as Marxism or veganism or solar power or whatever which might upset the current power structure.
Thank you! I'll mention "You Could Have Invented Monads" along with a couple of other great resources that helped me at the end of the post.

This is one of the most disturbing things I've read this year. Now I definitely do not feel like any of my sites are safe on cloudflare.

I would appreciate even more transparency details to be published. When talking about cloudflare following the rule of law - will you all be more specific about which countries and which locales?

There are rules in the UK I have read about that people wanted to bust through cloudflare to get to people.

Will the countries that have anti-gay laws be included in this rule of law thing? What about ones that have laws about sex info? How about religions?

How many people need to be up in arms about something before cloudflare ejects something? If we get enough of religion A to be angry about the lawless killing espoused in Religion B's texts - can we get all of the various religious sites ejected?

To read that this is all going on with cloudflare is terrible - but I am glad you all decided to share that you have also monitoring web site content and sending information to multiple law enforcement agencies as well.

I'm shocked, but not surprised at this point. As soon as stormer was removed you changed from being a dumb pipe infrastructure company into one that can eject and censor at will. It's been rolling down that hill ever since it seems.

Cloudflare has really opened the floodgates to be used for additional censoring by many other groups and gov agencies at this point.

The internet needs more anti-ddos options aside from this has been company.

I have personally suffered months of agony from people using 4chan in the past, but I would not ask internet companies to shut them down. Around that time is when I started looking for a service like cloudflare. It was too easy to dox and ddos - cloudflare helped.

Are you guys also going to pull service for blackhat hacker forums? I've suffered from posts on those as well.

There will likely be an 18chan dot com and a 818chan dot com and a blackerhatter dot net and a... I look forward to an updating listing of sites that are not reachable via the cloudflare internet in various places.
i just found this out... wtf... how much space could it all have possibly taken up. why would anyone trust them after this to use their email. didn't even know this was happening.
The PLONK Stack for Cloud Native Developers
True, it does seem a bit weird to use "release" in reference to entropy. I've googled around a bit and can't find a similar phrasing anywhere. A lot of places talk about "energy" being released into the surroundings, and this article talks about using the entropy of the surroundings to predict whether or not ice will melt: http://www.4college.co.uk/a/O/entsurr.php .
There is a clear (and working) distinction between free speech of type A and of type B in other countries. In Germany, just as an example, you are free to express your OPINION (type A), but not to express false facts (type B). If you express false facts, knowingly, and those false facts have damaging effects you are fully liable for compensation.

Simple example: if a person wrongly claims, that some local artisan's business is insolvent, and the artisan can prove that a potential customer withdrew an order for that reason, the person who spread the fake news has to pay for the artisan's loss. Entirely.

Talking someone into commiting a crime is never treated as free speech, either.

So, this is the legal construct in Germany:

- you are free to have any opinion you like ("Meinungsfreiheit") and

- you are free to express those opinions to the public ("Redefreiheit")

Free speech, here, is limited to opinion. There is no such thing as "i am free to lie, blame, insult, taunt, threaten, defame, verbally harass, berate, incite etc..." with the excuse of free speech.

In Germany, if you say: "The president of the United States suffers from narcissistic personality disorder", AND you cannot prove this as a fact, and the POTUS goes after you for that statement, you will have to compensate for the damages of that claim (this will become very expensive, if the POTUS can prove that he lost reelections because of that statement).
If you say: "To my conviction (in my opinion/I believe), the president of the United States suffers from narcissistic personality disorder", this would be completely legal in Germany.

And yes, the distinction matters!
>I don't have much hope for the future generation of megaprojects. And, you know, we're not really doing them anymore. I wonder what changed.

We are still doing megaprojects just fine. And less people die doing them.
The cash advance penalty is to protect the system cut. When you pay $50 for a meal the credit card system takes a 2-6% (some countries/regions limit this to sane amounts like 0.5-1%, eg EU countries and Australia) cut depending on the card, split between the network (visa, MasterCard etc) and the source and settling banks.

If you take a cash advance for $50 you only see $50 on your statement and the network doesn’t get its cut. If there’s no penalty for using a cash advance you’d find many businesses would have an in-house ATM so you could pay in cash and they could avoid the cost of accepting cards.

You actually see this in places like New Zealand where we have unregulated credit/debit card interchange rates but also have an established fee-free(ish) card system. Almost all smaller retailers accept EFTPOS card transactions but not credit/debit cards.
> Some would say re-writing the same app 5 times (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) and maintaining 5 codebases is a bad idea.

Yeah, that's true. I'm looking forwards to React Native (AFAIK it uses the native JS engine + native toolkits) and libui.

I'm also hoping for declarative UI frameworks like SwiftUI so that the underlying framework/runtime can generate the appropriate UI for the exact target platform.

You’re right about the demonetization effects, but to clarify the Maza-Crowder tiff - Maza previously spent years mocking Crowder and making inappropriate sexual references involving himself and Crowder. Crowder responded inappropriately, thinking he could pull off a Don Rickles act. Still, nothing either of them have done opens them up to harassment charges.

I think the wider demonetization is part of a cynical attempt to sabotage non-publisher media generally, it’s not an accidental side effect. There’s a scorched earth campaign by certain activists at Vox, Media Matters, and even CNN to contact advertisers en masse and essentially threaten that they are considering naming the advertiser in a hit piece about objectionable content. They aren’t dumb - they know the fallout will affect independent journalists and media of all politics.
Is downvoting submissions a thing?
Oh, my! I have spend countless hours on the web looking for (and successfully finding, of course) cheat sheets for all sorts of languages, but somehow I had never come across this site. This is extremely well done. Thank you,spectramax, for basically revolutionizing my life this morning! :)

> As soon as stormer was removed you changed from being a dumb pipe infrastructure company into one that can eject and censor at will.

You're defending the Daily Stormer, do I read that correctly?

> I look forward to an updating listing of sites that are not reachable via the cloudflare internet in various places.

Cloudflare is not "the Internet". If Stormer or 8chan get kicked off of them, you can still access them if they find an upstream provider - which Stormer managed to do and 8chan likely will, too.

> Are you guys also going to pull service for blackhat hacker forums? I've suffered from posts on those as well.

I would seriously hope that this happens rather sooner than later.
‘Mobile phone minutes’ were a common medium of exchange in parts of Africa (Kenya?) for a while (and maybe still is?)... mobility is also another commonly desirable service, so sure, why not?
I feel like you're wilfully missing the point. Let's leave aside child porn because that's an extreme case and I'm assuming you'd report that to the police if it showed up on your social media feed.

In terms of less extreme cases, there's a fairly good chance that in the course of your normal browsing, you've illegally downloaded copyrighted content. Maybe deliberately, but also by accident if your browser cached some photos or you right-clicked and saved some images you didn't have a valid license for.

Have you ever been sued for this? Do you know anyone who has?
This is a feature of EMV tokenization and not limited to Apple Card. Any card you have in Apple Pay does exactly this, and other issuers have started allowing you to add your card to Apple Pay before you receive the physical one in the mail. As with Apple Card if you report any of these lost or stolen they'll rotate your card's DAN ("Device Account Number").
Hey! I attempted to make the code snippets use practical concepts, but they aren't very practical for use in actual JavaScript code — the reason being that JavaScript is not a functional language and doesn't have syntactic sugar for monads.

However, I chose JavaScript because I believe it's more familiar and widespread, and it can be easier to explain a foreign concept when it's done in a language that more people feel comfortable with.

Tech people seem to get the most worked up when someone shushes them.
>Are you guys also going to pull service for blackhat hacker forums? I've suffered from posts on those as well.

They have done this several times in the past, but don’t talk about it publicly.

>As soon as stormer was removed you changed from being a dumb pipe infrastructure company into one that can eject and censor at will.

So what makes the nazis special to you? Cloudflare had banned many other sites prior to that.
However, this was a problem when Visa and Paypal cut off donations to Wikileaks. It was actually quite hard for them for a while to get donations in, even though there were plenty of people willing to donate.

Certain banks and their services (e.g. wire transfer), as well as payment providers should be treated like public utilities, especially when they have quasi-monopolies. The same for ISPs in areas in which there is only one or two, and other large companies with quasi-monopolies like Google, Apple and Microsoft. I don't think this applies to companies like Reddit or Cloudflare, though, for which there are easy and widely used substitutes.
"Now I definitely do not feel like any of my sites are safe on cloudflare."

Now I definitely have some idea, what your sites are all about ;-)
> On one hand, it will make it easier to manufacture evidence and frame people. On the other hand, it will make it easier to get away with stuff despite real photographic evidence by simply blaming it on deepfakes.

So nothing changes and you have to get additional sources. Just like you should already.

Peoples perception of truth is already skewed. Imagine presenting a photoshopped picture to someone 10, 20, 30 years ago.

There is no way out of this as the tech is out there.
DuckDuckGo and 67 Employees
Apparently they don't, look at the posted example :). Seriously though it's probably like half a second or maybe a quarter of a second, that's what Google often reports.

And yes this is an oversimplified model. No idea how much CPU is actually used.

Discussion of all of those topics has taken place on cripplechan which MITMflare just terminated business with.
8chan can build their own if none are willing to host them. though some ISPs might refuse to peer with them.
This image shows the opposite of a glassy skyline. The only true glass building, which reflects sky and water, is the one just above the boat. The rest of the buildings are more traditional sky scrapers with mixed cladding.
No, currency has a specific definition:

(1) a system of money in general use in a particular country.

(2) the fact or quality of being generally accepted or in use.

Cryptocurrencies satisfy neither definition and are therefore not currencies. They may be cash equivalents for the purpose of this definition, however. More like a gift card whose value fluctuates wildly and is primarily used for narcotics, money laundering and at best, speculation.
If it is, be careful. It's scary riding electric scooters (or bikes) in Bucharest! :-)
On the plus side, you've been removed from the list of people who haven't ever visited 8chan
Python Oberon v0.1.0
> Before Win8, most apps used native controls on Windows.

Yeah, it's true but the problem is that the native controls were very limited.
There was no central notification system so every Windows messaging app reinvented notifications(unlike macOS which converged to Growl and later, the Notification Center), no standard Ribbon Menu widget (at least when it was first introduced, I'm not sure about the current status) so everyone reinvented it, e.g.

> Then came Windows 8 and Windows 10, trying to converge PCs and phones. They screw up the UX.

This is so true... Windows 8/10 has a such mixed up UX that some system components are using the new 'metro' style while some others are old Win32 ones that don't support HiDPI...
And, (while currently not true) Windows 10 had two settings app that worked differently for a few years. :-(
Really bad on you cloudflare. I did't visit the chans since what feels like a lifetime and probably don't approve of the content at hand (getting worse since 200x...), but that isn't the topic here. Are you dropping Facebook as a customer if you find objectionable content? Probably not.

And while I believe you wouldn't do that randomly to other customers, I won't recommend your sevice again. It is just not your decision to make and pretty much the exact opposite that I require from a service like yours.
Seeing a service censoring a morally-bad community makes me feel sad. How is the executive power (police, intelligence) supposed to monitor extremists if they become forced to move to encrypted, censorship-resistant chats outside of the internet?
I fully agree with your observations about good or bad photography being dictated in part by its easy visual readability.

But the article presented here seems unscientific and misleading to me. They say "the brain avoids looking at" and then the "evidence" that they produce is an AI prediction generated by a closed-source (meaning unverifiable) software. It would be correct if they say "3M's prediction ignores glass skyscrapers", but that might just as well be a bug in their algorithm.

As a counter-example, the Keppler skyscrapers in harborfront Singapore are mostly made from glass to fight off the heat, yet they are pleasing to look at and have very interesting reflection patterns. And they are certainly remembered by locals as a great navigation landmark.
Depends who you ask though, who is paying the taxes.

But true, the real punishment comes if you decide not to pay your taxes...
I have a different experience. I did lots of well thought work, that after management decision ended in the thrash. I prefer “working quickly” now, if it doesn’t end in the thrash, I can fix it later.
That's a separate discussion. How big does a corporation have to get before the government must intervene? Imagine there was only Cloudflare and nothing else. Should they still be allowed to arbitrarily de-platform ideas and individuals?

Should Visa and Mastercard be allowed to arbitrarily de-platform a business and therefore guarantee it can't operate?

Cloudflare et al are particularly heinous because they'll claim to be a dumb common carrier to protect themselves from legal action for re-hosting illegal material, and then turn around and cherry-pick exactly the kind of content they want to re-host. Can't have it both ways.
It’s great that there are a lot of cross platform solutions today. On the other hand it’s also the reason why we put up with shit apps like Slack’s desktop and mobile clients.
As a macOS and iOS user I’m sad because both platforms have a far superior native UI, but at the same time as a developer I’m glad I can quickly build things for multiple platforms because there is no way my customers would pay for separate native implementations.
For anyone who is really looking to understand how the stock market works, I would recommend picking up a copy of "Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners" by Larry Harris.
Brit here who has lived in NZ for a few years. Polled some Kiwis in the vicinity with your example and "yeah nah" is very much negative, even in that instance. I agree that on paper it's a double negative but I suppose we have to be descriptivist!

As far as I can tell, a sibling comment has it right: the last word signals the intent (modulo tone, sarcasm, etc).
Sorry maybe the homepage is better to start on (I linked to the docs page):

https://www.nativescript.org/

Here's a talk from 2 years ago:

I personally think the best way to learn it is to get your hands dirty and use it to build something, so I'd recommend that, but there are certainly resources out there as well.
While it's good feedback to the respective project owners to make onboarding easier, it is a mistake to judge tools based on < 1 day of usage (which is almost entirely onboarding angst). You are only experiencing one, relatively infrequent transient story, not the steady-state one.

In the beginning of a devs experience framework code appears to eclipse app code in size and complexity, but over time the app will tend to grow to overwhelm the framework.
We (maybe it's just a local thing, though) say sometimes "oui mais non!" ("yes but no!") for when you agree with the premises but not the conclusion. It is generally said with a smile, or makes people smile or laugh.
Haha, I found this funny: I ain't French (I am Serbian), and I am quite like that: my friends have frequently made fun of me for it.

But to put things in perspective, starting with "No" gives me a bit of a time to think about the proposition, and then during the response, perhaps change my stance and switch to "yes": I am basically buying time. It's just a "but" away :-)

Interestingly, my 2.4 year old kid is starting to do the same: — "do you want go outside?" — "no, LET'S GO!". That made me think if it was one of my parents who did this as well, but I can't definitely pinpoint it. My dad usually just takes a bit more time to answer instead (he's a uni professor, so maybe he evolved from a "no"-first person :-), and my mom is definitely not a "protester".

So, while it _might_ be cultural in France (or perhaps French as a language?), you can get it anywhere else too.
You can't ban language because some use it to lie. The censorship idea has eerie cumulative logic built in. Today we ban a site, tomorrow a race. I'd also like to point out that in the context of declining economies the structures that have ensured democratic processes are inevitably declining with it.
You have a lot of formal processes, a lot of time/effort/money goes into coordination. Having been involved, not with megaprojects but with fairly large design projects (offshore drilling rigs, computer systems) mostly pre- modern communication systems, there were plenty of phone calls, memos, and meetings.
I think the popularity of Electron has shown that is actually isn't very important to users to use native controls.

Also on Desktop, macOS is the only one that even has a single official "native" toolkit.
Is there a way to read the NY Times?

Ever actually visited 8chan? Most of the boards there keep threads on-topic and at higher snr, than, say, reddit.

Moderation is the process of keeping a board functional and snr high.

Censorship is the process of suppressing certain types of content from the board. In this case legal content.

You can have high quality discussions on less-moderated boards, e.g. any of 4chan's interest boards. And you can have low-quality discussions on highly moderated boards, e.g. all of Reddit default subs.
