It's not obvious to me that it's parody. Is it actually making fun of Jay-Z? Is it parodying his songs? His voice? It's not a caricature, it's not commenting on Jay-Z's character or vocal styles or lifestyle or opinions.

Really? Because it seems to me like the only thing people are going to realize is having kids to take care of 24/7 is a real pain in the ass, and maybe we shouldn’t be having so many.

I’d say the majority of people who are still employed and have no kids are having a fairly pleasant time at home.
Or you could just not do the censorship in the first place and give people the freedom to make their own personal judgments whenever they’re presented with conflicting perspectives.

You’re assuming that some global institution has to be The Arbiter Of Truth because common people are too stupid to think for themselves and I find that assumption disgusting.
Walmart uses a few big SaaS providers it’s weird they singled out Basecamp and self hosting. I built a couple integrations to Walmart’s SaaS products. We used off the self SaaS products hosted in the clouds too.

I really believe this is why SaaS is such a dominating business model now. Software licensing failed because it is technically impossible, and no amount of clever tricks will save you from determined groups / individuals. If it runs on your machine, you will be able to get it to run again without the licensing requirements. We saw large companies get pwned time and time again.

On the other hand, there is no way you can see what a SaaS backend is doing and replicate that locally. Sure, you can rip off the frontend, but that's just a thin client over the API anyways. The API is the proprietary product, and much easier to secure.

Even if a blackhat breaks into your SaaS repository and leaks your source code (which is generally a freak event, especially among businesses that take cybersec seriously) - what are your customers supposed to do with that? I wouldn't expect your average AirTable customer to be able to understand how to launch and maintain an AirTable instance.

It's just a better idea to serve your product over the Web. If you sell native applications, you can't expect to make as much money as SaaS equivalents.

When we (locally) talk about having your own hardware we use terms like 'bare metal' and 'machines' or even the specific names of the types of machines, like 'the blades' or 'the dells'. We really only use 'datacenter' when we talk about a physical location we own, with power we own, cooling we own, networking we own, and access control we own. Otherwise it's just colo.

It's funny that I may be reading the same data and coming to a different conclusion.

Sweden has had a couple thousand covid deaths, less than 25% of NYC in a comparably sized population, both currently finding that around 25% of their populations seems to have antibodies. https://www.vox.com/2020/4/28/21240381/coronavirus-sweden-de...

They seem to be as far as long as NYC towards herd immunity, with just under 25% of the deaths.

The above article characterizes the Swede's plan as a failure based on comparisons of their death rate to the less-affected entire US population, but I'm not sure if that's a valid comparison, in that the Swedes will benefit from herd immunity before anyone else. Plus there are benefits to not having to lockdown.

I am left wondering why Sweden has so much lower a death rate than NYC, with similar antibody counts.

I agree with your statement that risk is the issue, something that our brains are not always wired to correctly evaluate.
If this were a story about the Kardashians, it might not matter, but journalists have a responsibility to do better than this when lives are on the line. This article does not meet basic standards for ethical journalism:

Are they arguing that they are a publisher? Because that would also mean being liable for the content.
NPR reported that 1.3 million would have died without social isolation in the US. This is 20x higher than the latest estimate. On hacker news I've seen people claim figures ranging from 1-2 million, to 3-6 million on the more extreme end.

Even if we take Sweden's case at face value this is still 1/4 the multiplier that people seem to think it is. Furthermore, Sweden is pursuing a strategy of herd immunity: let people get infected so that the populace becomes immune. They should see a higher rise in deaths, but also a faster decline as the virus runs out of viable hosts. A tall, narrow spike versus a wide, shorter curve. The area under the final curve is what we're looking for.
That's a really helpful list, thanks. There's also the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, which I found from another HN submission [1] recently.

That’s not the grammar, though; that’s compile-time evaluation.
> Children aren't major vectors for this particular disease, though.

That's a big claim. Care to provide a reference?

Just because kids don't die of it does not at all establish that they don't transmit it.

Imagine if that were true - a human artist couldn't create anything, because everything in the world around them is their training set!

I think it has to be a likeness test - if an average person would think its a real Jay-Z music video, then it's a derivative work. Don't muddy it with the implementation details of how it was made.

Your comment misses the point of why they did this.

These doctors were in no way qualified or licensed to provide the opinions they did and they had huge undisclosed conflicts of interest.

1. Their medical practice is an Urgent Care.

1a. They own said Urgent Care. They have a vested monetary interest in claiming these things so people start using them more.

2. They are not licensed to practice epidemiology - nor are they properly trained in Epidemiology.

3. They are not licensed to practice emergency medicine - nor are they properly trained in emergency medicine.

These guys misquoted the facts at every step and misled millions with their improper application of statistics. This viewpoint is harmful and incorrect.

This is telling everyone that “there is no fire” and to sit down and keep watching the movie in a theater that is on fire. They do not deserve a platform on which to spread these lies and misinformation.

Now, their medical licenses are in jeopardy. For the misinformation the presented, not the truths. If they understood statistics and still said the crap they did, the board is going to want to talk to them about gross negligence. If they didn’t understand statistics and still said what they did, the medical board is going to want to talk to them about practicing without a license.

These two idiots are going down for this. Good for YouTube. In this instance, this is disinformation, and they were correct.
I like this remark from the first page under “history”:

> Somewhere around this point, people began spewing mindless drivel about how browsers would somehow magically replace operating systems eventually, and how in the future all applications would be "web based". This, of course, got Microsoft's attention.
No, urgent cares don't have patients on ventilators.

But yes, there are some very perverse incentives in medicine.
I don’t think Amazon is doing anything comparable to “murder”, and it’s disappointing that HN discussions are turning into a Reddit like hive mind to downvote and censor discordant views.

RE: “Misguided rhetorical posturing“ and “trolling”.

You’re basically writing indirect personal attacks. If you really wanted to “walk me through the reasoning” you could have just posted that reasoning instead of what you actually wrote.
IMO, this is a matter of public health and should be treated as such (as much as some politicians want to cast this as a partisan issue for political gain).

I can't find any iOS related directories in their list of targets but there are a couple issues related to supporting apple platforms.
I did not get the chance to see the video before it was taken down, but I got the content of their arguments here: http://www.tathasta.com/2020/04/watch-er-doctors-urge-reopen...

They use the same logic for Kern County, California, and New York. Their logic is, that if you test N people and find M positive cases, that in the population at large you'll have an infection rate of M/N. This would be true if the N tests were performed on random members of the population. But because the tests are only performed when there's reason to suspect infection, M/N is a higher infection rate than in the population at large. Their inflated number for total infected persons makes the death rate appear smaller.
We developed a really neat resigning of PKG installers on Linux, only to learn that the binaries to notarize macOS installers and apps (altool, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_m...) ONLY run on macOS.

This looks to be the level we reached using a variety of tools, and could simplify the workflow, but doesn't answer the notarization step (arguably only because of Apple's limitations). We basically built a valid, signed installer, unxar'd it, did slug replacements for values for each instance, compiled some postInstall scripts, packed and resigned it using the Application ID certificate.

Anyone know of any projects that hope to bring the notarization step across platforms?
That sounds pretty plausible to me as another explanation.

The free market answer here isn't forcing them to adhere to your tastes, it's to make or promote a competitor that can actually compete with YT.

That's pretty weird. AWS and Amazon's shop are two different companies. If they are afraid of leaking data, that two-hop scenario seems to be less of a problem than all the single-hop vendors they have themselves.

It’s true, and definitely high priority right now. After all, we used to be able to see the Himilayas, but when everyone went into their homes and started streaming Netflix, the internet smog overwhelmed them!

Sending or not sending an email will not meaningfully increase power usage and thereby pollution of those large data centers. More efficient code will help; but, there are so much bigger fish to fry, I think I will happily tolerate a huge increase in internet usage for a dramatic reduction of cars.

It was a generic tangent, though, as your comment makes clear by outlining the genera. Since the rule says "and", I didn't feel the need to edit it.

As for flamebait, flamewar topics, and not having anything genuinely new to say, the comment had all that covered mightily, so this was not a borderline call.
It's certainly their right under ownership laws to censor on their platform. But just because it's your legal right to do something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. The question isn't "do social media platforms have the right to censor?". The question is, "given social media platforms have the legal right to censor, should they censor?".

The bill of rights is a legal document, and it can only govern the actions of government. But I don't think that there's any debate that the first amendment came about because the founding fathers believed free speech was an inalienable human right. I don't think the founding fathers would say that inalienable rights are suddenly alienated because you put a corporation in charge of your communications platform.

Do you believe free speech is a human right? If so, then why do you care when it's violated by a government, but not care when it's violated by corporations who are arguably more powerful in the field of communication?

> no court would ever uphold this removal, because it obviously falls under "parody" which is protected

Not a lawyer, but...

It doesn't seem like parody to me. It also doesn't seem like it has much of anything to do with copyright at all - one of the videos taken down was reportedly a performance of an excerpt from Hamlet, which is definitely in the public domain.

On the other hand it does seem like a possible violation of trademark law, but I have no idea how that would play out in court. Which is confusing, because I thought the DMCA only applied to copyright (it's the Digital Millennium _Copyright_ Act, after all) but perhaps I'm wrong and it includes provisions about trademark as well?
Infinity will forever be an abstraction, as there is no infinite physical actions you can carry out.

Which means what infinite actions actually constitue is purely by definition, as you cannot experimentally verify it. And that's why under some definition it makes sense to say 1+2+3+4+5+... = -1/12

> If someone is denying or minimizing a VERY REAL and VERY SERIOUS global pandemic

Look, most people on HNews agree with you, myself included. That stupid speech and stupid acts are costing very real lives.

But the whole point of this thread is that protected speech does cost lives as well. That we should be debating, identifying and responding to bad/poor speech. It should not be simply removed.

> YouTube had a social obligation to curtail their free speech.

Put a banner up. Identify it with Mr Yuck sticker. Don't remove it as if it never existed. That's dangerous, no?

If you don't believe it's dangerous, is it because the thing that's being censored is in your favor/belief/alignment?

Tomorrow, if Youtube said, "We'll remove all content that does not agree with the POTUS." That's only a few letters away from the WHO, right? POTUS is authority.

But that's insane. That's absurd.

That's what this debate is about. Censoring goes both ways.
Agreed, having paid the cost of a few VPC moves to separate ranges on AWS in order to gain peering.
Sure, my point is just that it's not insane to give money to another arm (pardon the pun) of a company you happen to be competing with, and in fact it happens all the time.
People will always put their fingers in their ears and not read/watch the source because it is easier to bash someone than to actually do the work that may change your beliefs
There's a difference between YT and a monopoly that matters in the law. You aren't paying anything to use or consume YT, no matter if you're a viewer or a content creator. It sounds like the ones who have standing are the advertisers, and I think advertisers would be fine with YT being more curated.
"For his disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg was initially charged with conspiracy, espionage, and theft of government property, but the charges were later dismissed after prosecutors investigating the Watergate scandal discovered that the staff members in the Nixon White House had ordered the so-called White House Plumbers to engage in unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg."

Oh you guys. The GP comment was just the sort of flamebait that we don't want on HN, regardless of flavor. We'd moderate it just the same the other way [1]. Big denunciatory rhetoric is just not what this site is for. Repetition and indignation are the two things that most kill curiosity, so repetition of indignation is the worst. [2]

An arbitrary link doesn't prove anything except that we may not have seen a post. That's the simplest explanation, and the likeliest [3]. HN gets millions of comments a year. We don't come close to reading them all, and we can't moderate what we don't see.

We rely on community members to flag the posts that most require moderator attention. You haven't flagged any, including the one you're complaining about here, so it's not clear to me how much you care about this. It sort of spoils the game of get-the-moderators when the mods finally show up and sweep the floor or whatever. For a while it was a sport on Twitter to pass such links around ("see what horrors the Hacker News moderators approve of!") but I hear that's mostly died out.

[1] By the way, the last time you were upset about moderator bias, I ended up giving you an extremely detailed reply. You may not have seen it, though, because it took me a couple days to get back to the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22920602. Read those links—"The mods here are radical liberals", "socialist-leaning mods", "far-left social justice agenda" and the rest—and see how much evidentiary value you still think these gotcha games have.

And these companies start as the incumbents, which gives them time to at least copy and respond. Amazon had to steal every customer from them.

I think the core of the issue is automated curation. There are several different ways to curate a collection. It isn't feasible to have someone curate things for you and you don't have time to do it yourself. Facebook/Twitter/etc has opted for majority curation: for the majority to define what is relevant to the rest of the users.

There needs to be a revolution in curation of content. Music suffers the same fate until we find a solution.
That describes my case quite well. I'd still prefer to be in an office or coworking space, but I've learned that I'm still capable of getting work done at home.

I might look at working remotely more often after this is over. My commute isn't bad, around 30 minutes (half of it's walking, which is nice to stretch my legs), but it might be nice to work from home just to have my own space and wear nothing but underpants for a day or two a week.

It would also be nice to go on some "workations", visiting another city/country and working during the week and doing vacation things in the evenings and weekend. I've got friends and family I want to visit, but I only get 4 weeks of paid leave a year. Most of them also work during the week so it would be a good way to spend my time.
