One thing that gets me about the people who use "free speech" in this way is the sense of entitlement.

20-30 years ago mass media was only accessible to people with large amounts of money to purchase advertising or run their own media platform such as a TV or radio station or a newspaper. It was closed to everyone else unless you could pull off some stunt to get five minutes of fame and somehow leverage that to deliver a message.

Now you have these vast platforms enabling anyone with a few bucks and cheap computer to potential address millions upon millions of people in near real time. It's completely unprecedented. In many cases these platforms are free as long as you comply with some minimal platform rules and regulations around what you can and cannot say. For most platforms the rules really are pretty minimal. Twitter is one of the least restrictive. You have to be a real obnoxious ass to get kicked off Twitter.

Somehow people have become so accustomed to this free and ubiquitous open access mass media that what was just a few decades ago impossible is now seen as an entitlement. Refuse to let your platform be used to deliver my message? You're censoring me!

Censorship refers to the use of force to prevent someone from speaking. The government has a legal monopoly on force, so generally this requires a law to be passed or perhaps an abuse of the civil court system to leverage the government to shut down someone's speech.

I can't speak for every country but in the USA that is extremely rare. We take the first amendment very seriously around here. You've got to go pretty far to get actually censored. You can buy books on how to make illegal drugs for example, or slander public figures on social media with baseless accusations, or publish software designed to directly facilitate illegal activity, and rarely will anything happen to you.

Being denied access to speak via someone else's privately owned and operated platform is not censorship. Nobody is preventing you from speaking. They're just refusing to assist you in delivering that speech.

Imagine someone walking into a newspaper office 40 years ago and demanding to have their op-ed printed (for free!) and then shouting "censorship!" when the newspaper refused? It's ridiculous.

I thought conservatives were skeptical of entitlements, especially when they involve other peoples' property.
To flip this on its head, would you argue that the people working to secure the Nazi's torture camp computers were being the good guys? Did they have any ethical obligations to make it easier for Ally powers to decipher the records after the war was won (or even before) to help people reunite with their families?

>> "no decision" is a decision

> "No decision" by leaders in a situation where there is not sufficient justification for ordering everyone to do or not do something, is not the same as "no decision" period. Individuals are still making decisions.

Except that it did not play out well because individuals were deceived by so called (wrong) experts who claimed that it is nothing worse than flu.

Based on this individuals took decisions that were opposite to the optimal result and traveled to the areas most inflicted by the virus and carried it to their countries en masse.

Countries that understood the character of the virus and implemented early restrictions (that was questions on days) did fare better that countries that waited to implement restrictions.
> There are people who advocate the idea that private companies should be compelled to distribute hate speech, dangerously factually incorrect information and harassment under the concept that free speech is should be applied universally rather than just to government.

Firstly, stop qualifying it with "hate", "factually incorrect", etc. It's a cheap tactic by authoritarian types to justify censorship. The religious zealots, authoritarian governments, etc all use the same argument you do to censor. Free speech is free speech whether you like it or disagree with it or whether it is factually incorrect.

Secondly, the question is whether a private company has a monopoly position. For example, we wouldn't allow power, water, telephone, etc companies from denying service based on what these companies feel are hateful or not. A christian ceo of these companies can't deny service to lgbt homes/companies/etc just because he doesn't like them or their speech. You get the idea?

Thirdly, if a social media platform is a vehicle for communication by elected officials, should that platform be allowed to limit citizen's access to said politician. I believe the courts already ruled twitter cannot deny people access to trump's twitter. But I'm not sure.

> Surely, it's clear here that having the actual head of the US government threatening to shut down private companies for how they choose to manage their platforms is a far more disturbing and direct threat against free speech even in the narrowest sense.

Yes. It is a concern worthy of discussion. But so are the other aspects of this issue which you naively dismiss as "hate"/etc.

You can not like pixel but still consider them better than samsung.

Personally I've had one samsung phone and it nearly put me off android entirely- had I not previously had a Oneplus1 I would have considered the entire ecosystem to be pretty garbage.

Samsung is a very low bar for software/ecosystem.

The whole present state of intellectual property law seems fucked. We need some kind of intellectual property protection, since so much work is all just bits and bytes these days. But we really don't seem to have gotten it right yet.

Side rant: "intellectual property" is a terrible name for it. The regulations are about copying implementations of ideas, rather then the ideas themselves. Regulating usage of an idea is less self evidently good.

I was an user of their Windows app until recently, had to stop using when they added the license for business use. Sadly, the company I work for only allows in their computers software they bought with their money (I can request them to buy software for me, but it can't be software under 'pre-release', has to be an stable software.) because of the audits they get, so to avoid problems related with piracy they decided to block softwares with user-owned licenses.

And since I used to use both at work (mostly for personal notes) and on my personal time, I moved to completely to another solution. (My own thing, made in (get ready for it) Electron.)

This is not entirely correct.

In the past, while exports from China, was important for foreign companies, the new situation, is that it is increasingly more profitable to sell within China.

Something like, close to half of GM’s profit from auto sales, are to customers inside China. They charge normal worldwide prices for their cars, but the labor costs are a fraction of what it is in America.

This is what GM risks losing, in an ever increasing trade war with China.

For another example, Intel miscalculated during Obama’s reign, and lost out on billions in sales, because the U.S. wanted to restrict advanced CPU server chips to China. What happened instead? China designed their own CPU chips.

iPhone assembly is really not that important, or profitable, to China anymore.
Totally agree. I'm not a fan of the residential LED light bulbs that I have. Even though they are supposed to be 3200ºK there's weird color fringing at the penumbra and they cause a lot of metamerism on certain materials. And these bulbs were around $20/ea.
I think there’s a third class: Institutional investors like CalPERS or NYSLRS. CalPERS has something like $300B in assets. When they talk, companies listen.

In my experience, ATT is the worst. They've been blocking me for well over a decade. They're the only provider who has ignored every contact attempt I've made.

I don't care, from my perspective they're irrelevant. The last person I communicated who used their MX died recently, and otherwise ATT can bite me. But in a fit of annoyance several years ago I did configure my servers to deliver a heartfelt custom 550 response to ATT MXes.

> In that regard, iOS is usually considered the winner.

That, too, is based in myth. More iPhones have had malware than Android phones available for purchase in Europe and the US by an order of magnitude, and Android vulnerabilities are more expensive than iOS vulnerabilities, so if your standard of privacy is protection from state actors, you should prefer Android devices.

> If I’m e.g. a Canadian diplomat in China and my phone breaks, I’m not going to trust a Chinese-OEM Android phone, but I might be able to trust a phone I send a plainclothes gofer to buy me from a Chinese Apple Store.)

If you're in China, you're in trouble because the CCP has access to all your iCloud data and any iMessage messages you send while there. Nobody is suggesting that you buy a Chinese OEM phone with who knows what modifications. Just get a Blackberry, Nokia, Google, or Android One device, and you'll be in a much better privacy situation than if you got an iPhone.

I find this interesting. As a mainly desktop developer now doing web frontend work, the JS ecosystem has been so frustrating.

Bundlers struck me as unnecessary given JS now has native module support, and that is the premise of this project.

Some out of memory issues when bundling certain dependencies, and slow "npm start" times with React, has only strengthened my initial impressions. So again, this could be a welcome impovement.

Maybe not. It sounds like Uber is scrapping the bikes before the sale to Lime closes. It's not unlike when a company makes layoffs after an acquisition has been agreed but before it closes, so the acquirer doesn't have to have those layoffs on its books.
I started using Snowpack just last week, but I'm not even using the dev server or the bundler part. All I really needed was its ability to convert npm packages into single-file ES modules. Once everything is an ES module you can just let the browser load them all, no bundler or dev server needed at all in your dev cycle. The only dev-time conversion needed is the compilation from typescript to JS, which my IDE already does instantly whenever I save. Previously this worked fine for all our own code but not for dependencies, so I'm pretty happy Snowpack was able to solve that problem.
I think you confused some definitions, what you are saying sometimes applies for O(constant), for example you can consider O(57) to be O(1), if the number "57" never changes even though the input size changes.

O(n) by defition means that execution time grows lineary with input size.

Whole Foods / Amazon Fresh deliveries are like a thousand times better for me in west LA and come at very low cost. The chain of quality control is going to be a big reason that this moves back in-house IMO.
> person who clearly didn't use their sense of vision (nor smell!)

When people are paid by quantity not quality you don't take time to inspect or smell the merchandise. You grab what checks the box and move on. Its a numbers game not a quality game and the quality is deferred to the store supply instead of the shopper. Why is anyone surprised by this? Its the same reason an Uber driver may drive recklessly to pickup more fares. Your safety isn't their concern.
Not just that:

>Some bundlers may even have O(n^2) complexity: as your project grows, your dev environment gets exponentially slower

They seem to not understand the difference between exponential and quadratic either. This is appalling.
Vite and Snowpack are a little different, though definitely similar in many regards.

There's some good info here:
https://github.com/vitejs/vite#how-is-this-different-from-sn...

The salient points seem to be:

1. "Vite is more opinionated and supports more opt-in features by default - for example, features listed above like TypeScript transpilation, CSS import, CSS modules and PostCSS support all work out of the box without the need for configuration."

2. "Both solutions can also bundle the app for production, but Vite uses Rollup while Snowpack delegates it to Parcel/webpack. This isn't a significant difference, but worth being aware of if you intend to customize the build."
The problem is that the management that we are referring to were accountants.

They were engineers.

Yes, the guys who had the bright idea to just cut R&D and all capital investment were engineers, not accountants.

> The moment you create your own content (even if you are a content provider yourself) you lose the protection of Section 230.

No. Practically every social network and publisher creates their own content occasionally, yet there's plenty of precedent for companies like Google, Ebay, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook being protected under Section 230.

A better, more accurate way of phrasing your objection would be to say, "Section 230 does not protect you from lawsuits over the specific content you created." So if Twitter's company-written annotation was found to be libel, they could of course be sued over that.

But adding your own content to a forum/platform has no bearing on whether Section 230 applies more broadly to other content that you host. Take a deeper look at your example:

> You cannot make a list of "staff picks" and then claim that the content comes from other sources

This is exactly what Amazon, Apple, and Google Play do every day. And all of those platforms have been ruled to be protected by Section 230 in multiple lawsuits -- covering everything from trademark violations to defective products. The fact that Amazon has a "recommended brand" section does not mean that they are liable for everything that shows up on their store. And that's a principle that's held up in real courts over, and over, and over again.

> Editing/policing content

I don't want to keep beating the same horse, but that's not what Twitter did. They didn't edit Trump's tweet or restrict it, they added their own speech next to Trump's tweet. That has nothing to do with Section 230, it's just a generic, common case of 1st Ammendment protected counterspeech.
Had the same issue, found it on this HN post.
If you want to freelance, the option of starting a company to do consulting is not to be dismissed. There's a difference between an individual and a company, even if it's only you. You could have very large organizations, including government entities, as clients which may not be thay easy to do if you are an individual. Repeat business is also interesting. The amounts you could charge are also so far apart. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by ten and go from there. It depends the field, too.

When you speak, it's the company, not the person who likes confinement because they feel so productive and have so much energy. It's the legal entity.

There are projects that practically one individual can do in less than a year for which you can charge a huge company say $300,000 to do. Depending your current salary, this can be a step down, though.

One caveat: not forgetting it's a company helps.

In my experience using webpack, once you’ve configured incremental builds, the only slow part is TypeScript type checking. That’s solved by doing it async and having the dev build be compile only. Even a huge project builds after a single file change faster than you can notice.
Do you create/release/maintain any free software? Or do you just feel entitled to have all the software that individual people do create for free?

You're defining a bad conspiracy theory. Most (but not all) of them are bad. Some of them have been true.
