"Republican mega-donor"? Elliott is one of the most famous activist investors in the world. Nobody talked about the "Republicanism" when Elliott started pushing Softbank around. And it's absolutely no surprise that an activist would push on Twitter; its CEO isn't even full-time.

fastai is popular among practitioners as well as many researchers rather than just outsiders or outcasts. I've personally learned from it a lot and is amazing contribution. However, there is still a large population that is still unaware and it would be great to have a quick intro paragraph in readme so they know what all the fuzz is about.
Are You a Polymath?
I'm curious. Do you complain about balance issues for places like say, Voat as well?

I seem to only hear concerns about balance when it has to do with a perceived bias against the right.
Ask HN: Utility for syncing a folder across two devices?
I basically want to make my own Dropbox, but with my own drive (probably on a Raspberry Pi) as the server. Is there an existing daemon that will just keep a pair of folders on different computers in sync? I know there are things like SMB, but that doesn't leave you a local copy when you go offline.
First-class support for a version manager so that 20 years from now, I will be able to check out my project and build it immediately using the locked platform version.

That’s probably because there are usually more people eligible for free upgrades than there are premium seats. That’s the main reason business is full rather than an excess of people actually paying for it or paid upgrades. It’s certainly not the default for business travel.
We in fact do not know that and Twitter routinely bans satirical liberal accounts. Twitter moderation is bad. But, of course, good moderation would also eject Milo Yiannopolous; no serious company wants that guy around. He's banned from Facebook too. These people get banned from everywhere. Is it Laura Loomer that's banned from Uber Eats?

I'd agree with you once 100% of your data, and network connections data, is owned and movable by you - so if others move their data too, everything can be previously interlinked and displayed in a UI similarly - then we'd have true mobility and ability to "vote for governance" with our attention (so we can decide to pay for a service with ads or pay with funds).

If all of the good people from these platforms would shift away, taking away advertising revenues with them, then platforms that do bad, unacceptable things, would quickly get punished.
Most importantly, we ought to prohibit requirements for medical documentation in all but the most extreme cases. My service worker friends are legally entitled to paid sick leave, but are unable to use it without a doctor's note. But none of them are provided insurance through their employer.

I know in general the users of this forum are generally loathe to accept government intervention, but the current mechanisms of American capitalism are antagonistic to public health and civil defense.
Is it safe to assume, although this happened years ago, that your employer was not Western Union?
Here is a serious New York Times editorial suggesting that Donald Trump be banned from Twitter:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/opinion/trump-civil-war.h...

I think everyone reading this honestly knows there was a serious chance that a liberal employee at Twitter would do that as a political statement. (I would have disagreed with that action.)

There is, obviously, no chance that Obama's Twitter would be banned.

This is clearly "out of balance".

I don't think Republicans having a stake in Twitter would improve this situation, though.

Also in this specific example, the ban did not happen.

(Just answering the question.)

Its not about friction for me. An app has a lot more ability to spy on me than an web page - I don't want to be volv's product to advertisers. Another reason is screen size, I want to read the news on a bigger screen than my phone offers.
Source?

Also, I remember when Twitter was getting really big one of their prominent founders (May have been jack but I can’t remember) did an interview in which they positioned themselves that social media platforms should use “constitutional logic” (for those not in the states, that’s the USA constitution) when regulating speech in their platform l, which, for better or worse, depending on context and things, “kill all white men” would pass the fee speech test.

Interestingly enough I actually can’t find anything that supports the example you’re referring to here. On the other hand I’ve seen tons and tons of sexist, misogynistic, white supremacist tweets that are super prominent on the platform.
Their tech activism is not run directly by Singer (who, btw, is pretty liberal). He is the face of Elliot but he isn't personally responsible for every decision they make (that would require super-human levels of work).
A well mixed cesspool is balanced. People at least seeing each other opinions. Understanding that there is like half of the population that doesn't agree with them. A well mixed cesspool is healthier than what we have.
This is a bad argument. Google tried to make a Facebook competitor... google... and failed spectacularly.

If Google resources can’t overcome the momentum of a big service; then no one can except over a long time.

So while I’m very free hand of market sometimes, I realize the reality that these are currently monopolies in their spaces and have to resources to prevent competition via lawsuits and acquisitions.
First of all, no you can not. Go try to kick a black person out of your business for being black and let me know how that goes. Second, what does your statement have to do with the discussion? I said balance isn't a false paradigm, how is "it is legal to be biased" a response to that?
Yep - people like this generally set off alarms for me because ideas are cheap and it’s easy to sit around “thinking of things” and trick yourself into thinking you’re making some sort of progress.

Mainly though it’s through the act of attempting implementation and interacting with the world that you learn the most. Someone who refuses to try to do this to get better probably just isn’t very capable and their ideas probably aren’t very good.

Even if you do come up with an idea that is viable most of the time so have others and it’s the successful execution that sets you apart.

I’ve met people that sit around patting themselves on the back for having the same idea that someone else used to actually build something.

While having the insight is critical, it’s a lot smaller part (also usually their idea was a vague generalization of whatever ended up existing).

Kind of reminds me of how the Winklevoss twins were portrayed in the social network, no idea how true to life that is - but that sense of ownership they had when they didn’t really do anything of value.
>absolute only thing they care about is making more money

That is a political angle.
As stated elsewhere, I lacked tact towards the person who I was condescending towards and it was not my intention. But my behavior towards someone else does not mean it's ok for you to now treat me poorly.

I'm not going to argue with you any more because this doesn't seem worth it, and justifying bad behavior is just not something I'm into. This looks like SARS 2002-2004's cousin. The virus is actually called SARS-CoV-2, the disease is COVID-19. The transmission rate is astounding, the fatality rate is also looking like SARS 2002-2004 [1]; this is something you should take very seriously. And no, I don't need a medical degree to recognize a pattern. But I'm guessing you're not immunosuppressed or elderly so it's not a big deal for you. Do whatever you want, bud, because your actions will only get the people around you killed.

I just want to say it's making me laugh to myself how ignorant people are as to what my education actually entails and the nuances between every step of the medical education hierarchy. Like how in a few months I'm going to magically know what I'm doing because I have a piece of paper.

Media has always been a part of the political arsenal since maybe thousands of years ago. The only difference is who is finacing it.
How can one get better at questions like these (im horrible at them)?
Apples to oranges. In the modern age we back up claims with science, not dogma.

And I'm guessing they mean the idea of balance being "all ideas are equal regardless of merit" is the flawed paradigm.
I agree with you that it's a good defense in depth measure for exactly the reasons you describe.
The skynest is being proposed as an additional service you can book (not sure if it will be paid or free). So you will have your normal seat, and then get a certain number of hours in the skynest.
Out right rejecting a huge profit stream like that is reason enough to drop Dorsey. What a terrible business decision to leave that sort of money on the table over a relatively small cohort of their users who complain.
I was in the wrong here and could have worded this more tactfully. I do appreciate your insight.
Not just Turkish, works in a lot of corrupt countries. Up to a point though: if the price is too high, you're going to jail and your media empire sold to the govt friendly ones. Tax evasion, corruption, murder or whatever. The ones on the good side get business and building permits, state advertising (they'll invent a campaign for you,) win contract bids, get out of jail free card etc etc.
That was my impression too, Dorsey is spreading himself too thin, getting distracted, and not focusing sufficiently on Twitter, hence he’s made himself vulnerable to an activist shareholder.

As for Elliott’s power, part of that is probably his soft power - ability to persuade enough other shareholders to vote Dorsey out. That means he needs to supply a compelling alternative plan to the current status quo and get enough other shareholders to vote for it. I assume he already had that to some degree before buying the shares, so Dorsey could be in for a battle here.

Pretty much. The CDC tried to finally roll out a test to New York City that local labs could use to carry out broader surveillance testing, after some early problems, but the local labs don't trust it and won't use it: https://www.propublica.org/article/cdc-coronavirus-covid-19-...

Read the top replies to 100 Trump tweets then read the top replies to 100 Obama tweets. 95/100 of Trump's replies will be insulting him. 95/100 of Obama's replies will be praising him.

That's an enormous imbalance.

The article I refer to in the sibling comment claims 23 times an hour on average so it would mean about 550 times during a day/night if you don't sleep. It sounds a bit more plausible.
But we already touch our face endlessly. Again, this sounds like he invented this on the spot. This wasn't studied, isn't the result of an analysis, it's just a lazy response. Further, again he was talking about surgical masks.

Surgical masks don't work. Surgical masks are a subset of masks, and it is grossly inaccurate to extrapolate that out to "masks don't work".

So they're saying that... masks will help if you don't touch your face? Makes sense to me, the PPE that the CDC recommends involve a face shield in addition to a mask.

>Do you complain about balance issues for places like say, Voat as well?

As well? I don't complain about them at all. Pointing out that it exists when people deny it is not complaining.

>I seem to only hear concerns about balance when it has to do with a perceived bias against the right.

Well I see two obvious differences that could cause that. The first simply being size. Facebook, google, twitter, reddit, etc are all, as organizations, far-left. And they all use their platforms to silence things they disapprove of, and push their politics. Whatever sites do the same from a far-right perspective are tiny. So, obviously there would be far more complaining from the far larger group of people who use the biggest sites on the web.

Second, all the supposed "far right" websites I see mentioned don't appear to be far right at all, and don't appear to do much or any moderating. They are "far right" because people with left wing views choose not to participate, not because they get banned. There's a big difference between being removed from a platform for having an unapproved view, vs being allowed to post your unapproved view and then people tell you it is wrong.
You don't even have to be operating at a loss to benefit from being favorable to politicians in power. It lets you get away with things.

For example: Apple paid Jobs in backdated stock options[1] while having Al Gore on the board. With a salary of $1/year, he was able to take all his income as long term capital gains and save on SS tax and income tax.

I'd say you're doing the only thing a person can.

You see many people speak of "boosting your immune system" but it's pure quackery. A person's immune system is many layers and types, a system, it's not a single thing that can be adjusted at will.

The way I see my immune system is a 100 liter tank of water. You can't overfill it but it can be low. At most it can only be 100 liters. Your immune system can only be as good as normal there's no turbo button to over-boost it.
But that is the way it is in my country, the USA, also. Now just a few corporations control most of the media people see, and positions who don’t go along with the establishment (like Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul) get at best sidelined by the media, at worst actively undermined.

Sorry to be a little off topic, but I recommend the book Surveillance Capitalism to better understand how people are manipulated.

LabVIEW! As a PhD student at the intersection of programming languages and computing education, the suggestion that Scratch delivered visual programming to the previously-unempowered masses has always ground my gears.

Money is a measure of labor you own from an average human. A billionaire owns labor from about a million humans perpetually to practically any of his/her whims. With so much labor available at hand, a person can control entire governments, major companies, social pipes, news channels, elections, policies, laws, land use, resource distribution, economic priorities, arts, science and culture. The billionaires are the new monarchs in pretty much all sense. I shudder to think of powers vested in a trillionaire.

> ... and make your profits from your other businesses by being favourable to the politicians in power and get just as favourable treatment.

David Frum writing in 2017:

> The transition [in Hungary] has been nonviolent, often not even very dramatic. Opponents of the regime are not murdered or imprisoned, although many are harassed with building inspections and tax audits. […] The courts are packed, and forgiving of the regime’s allies. Friends of the government win state contracts at high prices and borrow on easy terms from the central bank. Those on the inside grow rich by favoritism; those on the outside suffer from the general deterioration of the economy. As one shrewd observer told me on a recent visit, “The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.”

Yes. Spike Lee for one:

He tweeted the home address of a person who happened to share the same last name as an unpopular person in the news, inviting people to attack this person, causing this person to have to move for his own protection. He was never banned from Twitter for this. Disgusting.
What about them? If you ban all political ads then they all go away regardless of who they are supporting or who paid for them.
Agreed. Even before Covid it was standard for healthcare workers to wear masks. They constantly work with patients with compromised immune systems and the like. They could be be asymptomatic and wouldn't risk passing it to someone weaker
