You’re assuming there’s only one business model.
And that is totally stupid, why does every platform has to be political? Or rather, being forced by a subset of people with political agenda?

Currently r/AskReddit is still relatively free, HN is also mostly free.
>It's doable, but it's certainly not trivial. And no, it's not just "a slip of paper" it's far more than that when you consider all the human, bureaucratic and technical infrastructure, systems and support that would have to be behind it.

I've considered that, and nope, still trivial

SELECT address FROM voter_addresses WHERE passport_number = {number}

The concept of "pulling up a record" perhaps was non-trivial in the 1950's, but not in 2019.

If you were referring to the cost of the passport itself - yes, it requires infrastructure, and this is exactly what the taxes are for. It's an essential component of being a citizen, the extra fees are highway robbery.
That’s pretty much my point (although there would have been more than 1 neutral way of dealing with this). Countless companies have jumped aboard taking a side on divisive political issues, and excluding out-group members as much as possible. The fact they are happy to do this when it’s marketable, but don’t want any part of the practice when it actually puts the bottom line at risk just shows how insincere it all was to begin with.

None of this would have ever been a problem if there wasn’t an enormous political movement to force these politics into every corner of society. Now you simply have a situation where a lot of the same people who were proponents of this practice are unhappy, simply because they’ve found themselves in the out-group.
> But if you're going to take that stance, let me ask you: are you willing to throw out the rest of the social sciences? Because that's the only logical result. IQ research is the gold standard of the social sciences. IQ is fraudulent, then so is the rest.

No, the 'logical result' is throwing out psychology, which I'm more than happy to do. Would also throw out 90% of economics. Happy to keep descriptive sociology, descriptive anthropology, descriptive human geography, descriptive linguistics, etc.
Or Slack's customers are misusing the tool because they lack more appropriate software.
Death threats are a psychological attack which does have significant consequences, though they rarely evolve into actual physical violence. While I don't want to downplay the potential psychological impact of a death threat, I also don't want to see the union busting activities shrugged off as mere "doxxing" (which, as an aside, has its own psychological harm).

We in the modern US simply do not have a frame of reference for how brutal these activities were. Being outed as a union contributor in many cases was equivalent to a death sentence. A small excerpt from when a union activity was "doxxed" to the union busters:

>>>
More than 200 vigilantes or "citizen deputies", under the ostensible authority of Snohomish County Sheriff McRae, met in order to repel the "anarchists." As the Verona drew into the dock, and someone on board threw a line over a bollard, McRae stepped forward and called out "Boys, who's your leader?" The IWW men laughed and jeered, replying "We're all leaders," and they started to swing out the gang plank. McRae drew his pistol, told them he was the sheriff, he was enforcing the law, and they couldn't land here. There was a silence, then a Wobbly came up to the front and yelled out "the hell we can't."[4]

Just then a single shot rang out, followed by about ten minutes of intense gunfire. Most of it came from the vigilantes on the dock, but some fire came from the Verona, although the majority of the passengers were unarmed.[5] Whether the first shot came from boat or dock was never determined. Passengers aboard the Verona rushed to the opposite side of the ship, nearly capsizing the vessel. The ship's rail broke as a result and a number of passengers were ejected into the water, some drowned as a result but how many is not known, or whether persons who'd been shot also went overboard.[6] Over 175 bullets pierced the pilot house alone, and the captain of the Verona, Chance Wiman, was only able to avoid being shot by ducking behind the ship's safe.[5]

Fantastic! I'm so happy that's working for you.

One of things that's missing in this is that the parties involved actually intend to work together. As is clear from the various threads of discussion to this post, people react based on their underlying (dis)trust of the intent of the other party. That's why this is experienced by many folks emotionally as "passive-aggressive" manipulation.
And people wonder why every company is based on collecting data now. What else can they do? No one wants to pay for digital goods and services.
Your interpretation is not in contradiction to mine, and I had watched the video.

I'm saying that the casters didn't know before the interview started that Blitzchung would wear a gas mask to it.

You're saying that during the interview they encouraged him. That's true. But a caster doesn't have many other options at that point, their main job is to keep things genial and entertaining. They are not the production team, who could have cut away from the interview at any time -- even before the casters started responding. The blame goes to production.
> You're also free to start your own paper, or blog, or whatever.

NO, you really aren't free to do that.

If every means of communication is in private hands, and access is denied to you, then you effectively have no free speech.

I am really depressed by the radical libertarian corporatism here on HN.

If an oil company brought all the land around your house, and put up a wall on all sides, and refused to let you leave, I feel like people here would defend that. Because you are not entitled to be on other people's private property or what ever. And it was your fault for living in the center of the land they brought, and no freedom from consequences.

And the first mediums of mass communication were 100% private, so to reiterate what I said before, everyone should be cool with them systematically excluding people they consider to be "nazis". To them, union organizers and journalists are a dangerous threat to public order...

Shut up journalist, you are not entitled to use their private telegraphs that were subsidized by the government. You were banned because of your hateful speech against our corporation. No freedom from consequences, loser. Go whine about muh freeze peach elsewhere.
He absolutely did lots of interviews on the matter.

Amen to this. At my job we create training content. In the Flash era we had a team of animators that created the greatest content. Our clients in Asia especially loved our content. Then the iPad came out. Overnight all of our clients decided that they were going to use iPads for training (we were training sales associates who previously had to use a manager's computer in a back room, now with iPads they could train on the sales floor). Of course, the iPad doesn't support flash. So we moved from awesome animations to plain text and images web pages with a few short videos for really important content. This is still what we are doing. At this point these is no chance of going back to the time of web animations, and I think it is a real shame. Content now sucks big time.

Why has nobody been able to build a Flash clone to create content for the canvas element? I've looked at Adobe Animate and it is nowhere near being in the same class as Flash.

Thanks for clarifying. I guess my brain is wired to fix root causes (China) and not symptoms, but I completely understand what you're saying. It's a more pragmatic perspective (influence what is within reach).

It just depresses me that, in the name of trade and the perspective of China being some #1 global power, governments everywhere will turn a blind eye to the human rights violations.

I gave up on Sears finally when I needed a vacuum cleaner part, something like a filter that would need regular replacement. I went to a Sears that had a parts department, and saw that they still sold the vacuum I had. But the parts department didn't have the part in stock - they suggested I could order it and wait for it to come in. I said no thanks, I could buy it online for half the price and have it shipped to my house, saving a trip back to the store.
I doubt it, tap water and distilled water are both substantially lower in minerals than food, effectively 0 in comparison, I suspect if you boil your foods in either water the mineral content of the resulting food will be roughly the same.

I turned in more than one lost wallet or debit card to a librarian (or similar) while homeless.

I didn't want to call them myself or whatever because I was homeless and I knew I was automatically suspect as a thief because of it. So I wanted someone the world would trust/believe to deal with it.

Well before I was homeless, attempts to return wallets or found ID cards or whatever were consistently met with suspicion. One woman tried to run from me and my husband on the assumption that we were up to no good for trying to catch her because we happened to see her drop her wallet just before she got in her car. But, obviously, we must have been muggers or something. No other explanation was possible in her mind.

Potentially you could use Unicode encoded in UTF-32, but since there are many fewer Unicode code points than 2^32, there are a lot of valid 32-bit patterns that don't map to a valid UTF-32 encoding of a Unicode code point. As a result, most Bitcoin keys would contain invalid characters, so that scheme doesn't work for all keys, but it does get you down to 8 characters for the keys it does work for.

There are more than 2^16 Unicode code points, so you can definitely use UTF-16, which will get you down to 16 characters.

One thing to note is that you're not actually getting any compression here: each of these character strings is the result of the same 256-bit pattern.

To find out more about how much actual compression you could get of the data, look up Kolmogorov complexity.[0] For most Bitcoin keys/random 256-bit patterns, they aren't going to be significantly compressible, if at all.

"Ownership" is not black-and-white in this space. The government (in the United States anyway) grants/auctions access to publicly owned resources (such as water, power, rail, land, the federal reserve, etc. etc.) for the purposes of creating fundamental infrastructure.

How property rights for those resources convey corresponding constitutional rights of users (or other government imposed requirements, see for example insurance and healthcare) is something that is continually in tension and requires constant litigation.

I don't understand what the Hong Kong fuss is about. The first time I read about it, my initial understanding was that HK didn't want to give China the power to extradite suspected criminals from HK back to the mainland.

I kind of understand China's position on this because Hong Kong has probably become somewhat of a haven for white-collar criminals who fled from China to escape Chinese prosecution.

I don't understand why so many people are protesting against this bill specifically. The protests seem to mostly serve a small number of elite white-collar fugitives. Maybe the bill needs to be refined further so that the intent is more clear?

Worth keeping in mind that Shulgin, the guy who popularised MDMA, strongly believed it should only be used for therapeutic purposes. In his view, MDMA wasn't a party drug. I can't remember the quote in PiHKAL but he had a mini-rant about hippies "ruining" the drug by taking it recreationally. To be fair, he was right that it led to MDMA being criminalised, but I remember thinking his view was incredibly close-minded.

What is or is not a party drug is really down to the individual (and the party...)
> Taxing speech you don’t like is the exact opposite of being pro-free speech.

I'm suggesting that we tax all business activities in China because China has shown themselves to be an enemy of the West and of democracy. They pose an existential threat to both and we should begin taking additional measures to protect and secure our interests.

I'm not saying we tax pro-China messages or force companies to produce anti-Chinese sentiment. Don't reframe this as a free speech argument.

China has a demand for western media, and they cede small amounts of control when they let our messaging and culture reach them. By economically disincentivizing the creation of specialized media that is custom-tailored for consumption by the Chinese market, they are left with true and unfettered western culture. A culture that flies in the face of fascist narratives.

No one goes out of their way to create pro-Chinese media if there isn't something in it for them.
> One one hand, sure he broke the rules.

This is a very generous (towards Blizzard) interpretation. The rules weren't "no politics". The rules were a generic "don't piss us off or do anything we may find objectionable", basically.

Per the Verge, 'The rule in question forbids players from doing anything that “brings [them] into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages [Blizzard’s] image.”'

It's designed to be arbitrary, because if you were to strictly enforce it anyone would violate it simply by existing nowadays.

Here's the key difference between Oracle and AWS:

- Oracle will schedule periodic audits on their customers and legally threaten them for inadvertent licensing oversights

- AWS makes it a mandatory policy that all their sales folks periodically sit with their customers to help optimise and reduce their ongoing AWS Cloud costs

If you are making a case that Oracle == AWS, you don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I have dealt with both these companies up close.
But Blizzard would likely have lost access to the Chinese market.
I think you may need to revisit your assumption that Blizzard employees are pro-Hong Kong. Why do you think that Blizzard as a company, and Blizzard as a cohort of people, wouldn’t be pro-China?
Twitter wouldn't load for me (well done 2019 JS-heavy interface!), so that's the story...

If he had the bank card he could've looked up the person's name on social media (if it's unique enough), or even call the bank, a friend forgot his wallet in a store once and got a call from his bank telling him so, and to contact this number of the finder. Cleverly, the bank didn't give out my friend's number to the finder. This was not in the US though, reading about US banks, I'd imagine they're less helpful.

Because Europeans believe more in collectivism, pushing for greater good together for the society. Also compared to Americans who tend you like individualism we are not paranoid of our government because they are part of us, even if we don't like the politicians.

It's treated as such for a wide variety of things. Condo associations use arrest records as red flags for potential residents. Any arrest record removes your status with the global entry programs with CBP. I'm sure there's many more I'm not even familiar with.

> European bank accounts make a lot more sense than in the US, your account number is a public number that can be used to receive money only and there is a transfer number for making payments.

For the benefit of the non-US folk (including myself): it wouldn't be a good idea to reveal one's bank account number in the US because people can just pull money out from it with an account number?
