I found many remnants of Roman mosaics in Tunisia; they seem to be everywhere. They are especially easy to find along the beaches because even the individual stones stand out. They have a small square shape that is unlike anything else you are likely to see. I suspect they were from the private homes and villas of wealthy Romans. The largest one I found was over 2 square meters, but I did not invest much effort searching. Back in those days, I had more interesting things to do with my time on the beach.

Two thousand years ago, the mediterranean was a much different place. Today much of Tunisia seems barren, but one peek at the El Jem Amphitheatre and you know things have changed. Tunisia was once a verdant agricultural land with a booming economy that supported the building of sumptuous homes, outdoor theatres, public baths, temples, enormous aqueducts, etc.

>The ability to control the "public" spaces gives one effective control over "speech".

Let's suppose, for instance, that Twitter is deemed large enough to be a "public forum" and no longer makes moderation decisions outside of removing illegal content. The clear, obvious consequence for such a decision would be that most people would cease to use Twitter. It would no longer be a "public space" because that "public" would no longer be there.

People would stop using Twitter for the same reason the public doesn't use 4chan. Anecdotally, I don't want to be harassed for my sexuality on Twitter. I wouldn't feel safe, or want to participate in a site that allows open attacks against people due to their gender identity, race, or religion. And let's not kid ourselves, the "conservative" view points being "censored" on Twitter aren't really "conservative" views at all, it's just hate speech, harassment, and attacks against marginalized people. Even semi-famous self-described fascist content creators continue to use Twitter above radar, provided they don't explicitly distribute hate speech on the platform.

Marginalized people of every form would find another place that is moderated to flock to. That would become the new "public place" that so-called "conservatives" would wish to invade.
ah, the good ol’ goopsie again for the N-th time.
Free speech for all political factions on major public forums is the cooperate-cooperate quadrant of the prisoner's dilemma. If forums controlled by the blue faction defect and start censoring the red faction, the red faction needs to threaten to retaliate in order to scare the blue faction into cooperating again. It's simple tit-for-tat. This is game theory 101.

Surely, it's clear here that having the actual head of the US government threatening to shut down private companies

The United States President has neither the authority nor power to start censoring Twitter on his own. Right now, Jack Dorsey has far more power over allowed public speech in America than Donald Trump.

Hi team!

Is there a way AMP could have an opt-out option? (maybe a permanent setting, maybe a per-search trigger) Ideally at user discretion, but I suppose it must be enabled by the first-party content provider (the website).

That would make everyone happier I think. I don't mind AMP some of the time, but sometimes it's undesirable for security concerns notably.

Read again. The point was that it should be a button that looks like a button, or a link with proper fallback for non-JS users. It should have a title attribute and feedback as well, for screen readers.

It should never be a button disguised as a link, however. Fake links are much worse than javascript:void(0), because they break expectations of users, and are more prone to breaking. At least with javascript:void(0) browsers are able to use it as a hint to disable certain context-menu items, and it's much better than having a fake link. For accessibility purposes, if you need button behavior but link-look you should use role="button".
I think many here do have empathy with the people involved. I certainly do. But we also see the bigger picture.

Every industry that dies or suffers a setback is a tragedy, but it's also the unavoidable result of progress, of capitalism, and of any sort of active economic activity.

And the people involved can be taken care of. There doesn't need to be pain an suffering unless society decides that people who lose their jobs because of something like this need to suffer.

And for the record, a close friend of mine did indeed lose the ability to code. He dropped out of his PhD and become a shop security guard for 7 years. Not exactly his dream job, but he accepted it and it worked out. There are millions, probably billions, of people in the world who don't get to work their dream job. Pilots and flight attendants aren't the only ones. I'm all for helping them.

None of that changes the fact that excessive air travel does a lot of damage.
I now think the problem with this is a lack of standards.

That's fair, it's certainly one of many hurdles that this sort of a solution would have to face.

Not to be a nihilist, but what makes you think underfunded schools that struggle to teach basic reading will teach media literacy and criticism with any success? and will be supported by publishers that feel the same way?

Well I'd probably answer that by starting out with an inquiry on how nihilism is a factor in what is a completely valid question about implementation? A school's ability to fund this kind of program from textbooks to technology to training staff and instructors has to be considered, this type of educational program doesn't happen in vacuum.

So I'd say you're right to ask questions about the disparity in school funding and how it would affect a media literacy curriculum-even if I'm not sure it's particularly accurate to describe such questions as "nihilist", they're completely necessary. But by no means am I intending to make any sort of value judgement about how successful this school or that school will be by merely suggesting taking a stab at introducing media literacy into public schooling.

To the questions of publishers, excellent question again. Maybe there are some models already out there worth exploring and iterating upon to maximize the value across the various school systems and school models (public, montessori, et al), a few people have commented that there are comparable programs where they live, I'd be curious to see if there are systems worth replicating in this thought experiment.

I think you raise excellent points here, all things said.

> Identities are becoming more important, but how does the notion of identity change and how do they work in a hybrid and multi-cloud world?

Yup. The main challenge is there is often no centralized system for identity authentication and authorization, or it is difficult to integrate such a system with the vendors a company relies on. The attack surface from an identity standpoint is much larger as a company will need to manage credential rotation and account provisioning/deprovisioning across so many more assets than in an on-prem model.

Ordering online is incredibly difficult and each time I try via a different site/store I end up dropping it after investing almost an hour to sort things out. I am in the Seattle area so it's been a big deal.

My recent example is the Safeway site and trying to make an order for pickup or delivery. Initially I picked delivery, gave it my address, and it let me add things to my cart. I built out my entire cart normally, avoiding items listed as not in stock, then when I went to check out it gave me 0 delivery openings for like a week.

I then swapped to pick up and it attempted to reconcile out of stock items in my cart with alternatives but for many I had to go back in and find alternatives. Items not reconciled where dropped from my cart so I ahd to manually check that against my list to see what was missing. On checkout, it gave me 0 times to pick up going out a week.

So I swapped locations again and went through reconciling my cart again and picking out new items when needed. Again it dropped some items without alternatives so I had to check my cart against my list and again go through finding missing items. hen I went to check out, it again listed 0 openings for the next week. Trying to pick a new option reset my cart in some ways to the point I dropped it altogether.

I went to one of the Safeway locations that day and a bunch of out of stock or similar items were actually there and I was checked out in half an hour, mask and gloves on, just fine. Maybe instacart or other premium services have this figured out. I haven't tried amazon fresh much too. But if they work anything like the Safeway systems then I'll risk the store run to save myself an hour of pointless online shopping and save on the premium or cost of delivery.

No, pointing out that what some people call waste is not actually being wasted, it is serving a useful purpose. "Waste" means it is serving no useful purpose at all.
I don't think you're really asking in good faith and this is veering extremely off-topic and pedantic (and I am not a lawyer), but here:

"""

> Although laws vary by state, in the United States a defamation action typically requires that a plaintiff claiming defamation prove that the defendant:

> 1. made a false and defamatory statement concerning the plaintiff;

> 2. shared the statement with a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement);

> 3. if the defamatory matter is of public concern, acted in a manner which amounted at least to negligence on the part of the defendant; and

> 4. caused damages to the plaintiff.

"""

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation#Civil_defamation

Arguably all of these points are met by a "too big to jail" billboard facing the public. Though given the nature of a political candidate and free speech, I think this would be protected. Particularly because "Defenses to defamation that may defeat a lawsuit, including possible dismissal before trial, include the statement being one of opinion rather than fact or being 'fair comment and criticism'."

That said, even if it doesn't meet the technical level to convict I think it's a reasonable thing to refer to as defamation colloquially and I suspect you know that too.

For clarity on the specifics of a 'defamatory statement':

> A defamatory statement is a false statement of fact that exposes a person to hatred, ridicule, or contempt, causes him to be shunned, or injures him in his business or trade.

I think one place HN falls short of what I think of as social media is that there's no following of individual accounts, that creation of networks and personalized feeds feels like part of the core of what separates social media from simpler forums. Reddit was closer to just forums as well but subreddits allowed you to more directly curate and associate between groups, now every user basically has their own little subreddit they can post on and people can follow and join.
There are also not that many actual professional rust developers out there. I think there are a lot of developers who love the idea of rust, and are curious about rust, but I suspect the number of developers who have actually completed a rust project of meaningful complexity and deployed it to production is vanishingly small.
I don't disagree with the main point you are making, but I would consider this argument to be a bit weak "For comparison, it would be like saying that to a software developer having a more powerful computer is the same as writing your software to be more efficient."

There's a lot of companies out there that just throw some more hardware at a problem.

If you blindly trust what’s written, then they do look similar.

Much like the Constitution of the PRC stating “citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession, and of demonstration.” [1]

One would be a fool to believe it’s similar to the US constitution.

OK, here’s my answer to your questions:

Jimmy Lai runs the biggest pro-democracy newspaper, Apple Daily, in Hong Kong, and his Twitter account was recently named by Chinese state media Global Times as providing “evidence of subversion under new national security law”. [2] Pro-democracy newspaper will be the first to disappear after passing the national security law.

Infringement on freedom of press (and speech) would have drastic consequences. Just look at Covid-19. When no newspaper stands up to reveal the scale of a mysterious disease and doctors were forbidden to warn others, the government can cover it up for much longer than in an open society [3], ultimately costing hundreds of thousands more lives [4].

When short selling in China could be classified as “malicious” and “illegal” [5], or as the rumor goes, “a financial coup to overthrow Xi” [6], I doubt Hong Kong can remain an international financial hub under the new law.

Media companies also like to stay in Hong Kong [7]. That could change with the new law, and with the loss of free flow of information, financial industry will hurt, too.

I believe we are mostly on the same page. Voting should be in person, on paper, on a weekend day. It can be done, even in covid times.

One more thought: Simple >>> Complex.

Small variations in a technically correct process may break some of its properties. The more complex the process, the easier is to inject variations, some of them adversarial. If gerrymandering is to be taken as an example, this can be taken to quite some extremes by two sides driven to win the zero-sum game at all costs. But even in absence of that, bugs happen.

To nitpick one detail, I'm not persuaded by the secrecy violation prevention argument. You either prevent secrecy violation by anonymization, or you prevent vote fraud by keeping a link between the voter and the ballot. You can't have both at the same time. In person voting minimizes the bounding box of anonymization: in space, at the ballot box, and in time, the election day. Hopefully both parties afford to have observers during this space-time interval. As you spread out the voting process, both spatially and temporally, it becomes increasingly impractical / too expensive to maintain observers of the entire process.
It's interesting what Flutter has done for Dart! Before Flutter, I used to think Dart was dead. Typescript had won. If Flutter for Desktop becomes a viable option to create desktop apps, I think Electron will have a formidable competitor.
I totally agree with you. The problem is, how do you undo a half century of city planning, especially when McMansions and subdivisions continue to sprawl to this day?

Realistically, you can’t - not quickly at least, and furthermore you’ve got a whole population of people that is used to this lifestyle.

So I’m just evaluating (in my opinion) the prospects of high speed rail based on what we have right now. I think if it was a slam-dunk no brainer economic activity and tax revenue generator, it would have been done already.

Defense spending is about 15% of the federal budget. Which makes sense, because defense one of the key areas entrusted to the federal government, as compared to state and local governments. Leaving out spending from the layers of government assigned primary responsibility for things like health and education is a deception intended to make defense spending look artificially large.

As to your other point: my calculation results in an average. Total spending on defense divided by total spending gives you the average spending on defense as a percentage of average spending at local plus state plus federal levels.
Correct. Five-Eyes is just a info sharing agreement, in the same way that NATO is a military pact.

A) These companies are American, and outside of certain, very specific, industries explicitly mentioned in the War Powers Act, the American government has no authority to nationalize them at any time for any reason.

B) Companies like Facebook in particular can never be nationalized due to the First & Fourth Amendments, and government being barred from competing with private entities in the private sector.

C) I do agree that Google and Amazon should be tried for anti-trust violations and that Google in particular should be split for violating anti-trust laws against vertical integration across markets.

> they wouldn't

I mean the influencers would never voluntarily cede a legion of followers but they'd absolutely and vocally support Trump if he moved to a different platform and all his fans would create accounts on that new platform if they didn't have one already.

> society's legitimization of twitter...

We're in complete agreement there, it's a tough cultural problem, not sure how we solve it without just teaching the next generation to be highly skeptical of social media platforms.

> he's siloed to somewhere that is obviously just for his supporters, it will have far less of a dangerous effect

I don't think it makes much difference, it costs nothing to just "exist" on twitter even if you engage primarily on a different platform, twitter would just become one of many targeted dumping grounds for all the crap they cook up in the silo. Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't happened already, but I think it's their next logical step, something like a mainstream 4chan.
It would in some ways.
