I hear this from friends who are Limbaugh fans, but I'd like to see some other source. Many people on the Left seem to think this whole "voter fraud" concern is a fig leaf for denying minorities their voting rights. When I've listened and asked follow-up questions, the Left's narrative seems more plausible.
>I don't think most of their clientele (or the staff) even knew what it was.

I bought a pair of nice Roland studio-level reference monitor speakers from a pawn shop like that once. They cost me 90 dollars, they retailed for something like 1750.

When I paid the person behind the counter told me that many people had tried to get these to work and brought them back because they couldn't figure out the cable to use -- and due to that difficulty they had marked them down from 200 to 90.

It was an XLR plug. They worked beautifully.
It's a nice concept but I'm not sure it would work

I don't doubt the US government could do that to an extent, but how much legal precedent is there for doing it? I find it very hard to believe that Twitter (and arguably many other companies in the sector, and possibly other tech companies too) wouldn't immediately lawyer up and challenge any thing like that. Not least because Twitter could start playing dirty too i.e. lobbying etc.

Government decisions get challenged from inside the government (or own administration as seen from the migrant ban) let alone externally by legal teams with practically unlimited budgets (remember that the church of Scientology successfully "beat" the IRS)

Note that under Pruneyard and Lloyd the limited purpose invitation standard and focus does not apply to private spaces. Thus it matters whether the land is private or public, not the purpose for which the public is invited to enter. The "limited purpose" test examines public or quasi public facilities (i.e., joint public-private parnerships), like airports, to determine whether they would be considered public forums for free speech purposes. (See Hari Krishna vs Lee)

Additionally, public sidewalks in front of stores are considered public areas because of the public easement to use the sidewalk. A private sidewalk is not a public area for free speech purposes (see Lloyd).

> If you prioritize the local coworker over your remote coworkers simply because they're nearby

So the right answer is to answer calls etc from remote colleagues promptly - not to ignore local coworkers who walk over.

It’s not to make local communication less effective to prop up remote work.

I absolutely agree with you, and this tells me one thing: If you want a promotion, get another job. The leverage you have by already having a job is fantastic, if a company likes you they'll give you a better position just to pull you away from your current company.
> But the moment they use their platform to modify and censor what people publish, then they should probably be liable, right?

They've always done some editing and removal of certain content.

In this particular case, was anything modified or censored though? It seems more like Trump had his say, and Twitter had theirs. Is Trump saying that Twitter can't also express themselves on their platform?
Yes. It's the sort of behavior one usually sees from lesser-country petty tyrants like Erdogan (Turkey) and Netanyahu (Israel). They're elected, and don't have full autocratic power, but they heavily abuse what power they have to stay in power. This problem was classic among the central American countries and Mexico, although that part of the world is looking up a bit.

Historically, leaders like this are not rare. They're just rare in US history. In the US, they've rarely advanced beyond the mayor level. (See Tweed Ring, Pendergast machine, Daley machine, etc.) Huey Long made it to one term as Louisiana governor; he's the best known US example of the type.
in short, it let's you create logic to gif animations. And secondary lets you automate unique gif animations at a large scale. A token is a unit that equates to one token per second to use on your recordings. So if you had 50 tokens, you could create about 50 seconds worth of gif animations depending on the FPS.
What decisions? You think the government should be able to control whether Twitter adds additional context to posts?

For almost 100 years it has been held both in general and by the Supreme Court in particular that the remedy to speech you disagree with is more speech. Do you object to Twitter's ability to have such a disagreement?

Or, as is being proposed, do you believe Twitter should be held legally liable for every nasty thing said on their platform simply because they choose to have an opinion of their own?

To me that seems like a recipe for significantly more banning of content & users by Twitter to avoid even the hint of liability that would come with allowing it to stand.
Ditto. Great experience.

What law did Twitter fail to abide by in linking a tweet to factual information?
Link to previous discussion when this was posted in 2019, along with some comments from the author (I guess it was considered inflammatory enough to be flagged): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19482669
No, Twitter has no bias against "mainstream political ideas". Their San Francisco urban chic politics are the very definition of today's "mainstream". Looking back over history, have mainstream political ideas always been the right ones, more or less? Or have mainstream political opinions frequently been pretty bad in retrospect?

The point of "free speech" is to be able to express opinions that aren't currently "mainstream" among fashionable thinkers. Free speech advocates aren't objecting to a single instance of some company expressing an opinion. That was just a "last straw", it seems. They are objecting to the tactics of Big Tech platforms in general, which use all sorts of deceitful methods to manipulate the visibility of arguments in order to influence the debate while pretending to be merely neutral platforms.
But if the model is built to support this then it isn't an issue. If you see my earlier post about hypothetical improvements we can make to our global economy. If everyone is making more and industry is growing within the country then more classical economics applies (e.g. the pie is growing). In this scenario it's not an issue. It's only when there isn't positive growth that inflation is a huge issue.
It's not about chewing on something hard, but about pulling on something strong (away from your face). E.g. ripping chunks off a piece of meat. This will have the desired effect on their jaw, making them both healthier and more attractive.
I was talking about wordpress.com, not Wordpress blog themes or wordpress.org. Of course the themes are going to go wild and use every possible browser API to customize their appearance. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I'm surprised you're talking about knock-off fonts, because I think it argues against your position. The portion of users who have installed crappy knock-off fonts is far smaller than the portion of users on slow internet connections (such mobile users), or the users annoyed by the re-flow, or those who run into bugs in the web fonts themselves. Apple, Wired, and Medium have all shipped web fonts that look like garbage on Windows.[1] They didn't notice these bugs for years because they simply don't test on Windows.

So web fonts cause more annoyances and bugs for the majority of users to slightly improve the experience of a tiny fraction of users who have misconfigured their systems. Do you also write code that defends against buggy browser extensions? At some point you have to accept that the user is responsible for their own device. I'm fine admitting that if a user has the gumption to install custom fonts, they also need to be knowledgeable enough to choose good ones.

It needs a name so that we can have this discussion and compare and contrast different methodologies.

For example

* Compile run debug. You write some code potentially with tests. Run it and either poke it manually or run tests to see what it did. If it didn't do what was expected you either edit it, write some more tests, add print statements, add break points or whatever and try again.

You are forced to create all state in one go and pay one complete edit build debug cycle for each thing you want to modify in isolation. This could be 30 seconds or hours.

* Minimal interactive development. You mostly write code as above but gain the ability to poke individual functions or pieces of functionality in order to aid your understanding when things don't work correctly. You write tests eventually or not.

* Repl driven development. You mostly write and interact with a live environment either by actually typing the code in a repl or writing it into a source code file and hitting a shortcut to evaluate as you make changes redefining it piece by piece in terms of the rest of the code and the state you have built up by prior evaluations. This persistent state and the ability to redefine parts of it are what separates it from writing some python and occasionally opening up ipython to poke the code.
The addition of the "realistic" vs "synthetic" benchmarks is very welcome, with "realistic" being the default. Hopefully this could help get things to a better state.

Still questionable as to what is allowed in "realistic" though. Aspnet core using a "rawdb" adapter doesn't seem like what I would interperet as "realistic".

Perhaps there needs to be a "marketed" category, for use as the docs describe. For aspnet core, this would include using entity framework.

Not much point in splitting the categories if it isn't a uniformly split thing.

It'd be nice to see benchmarks where:
• Everything was implemented as documented in the framework's tutorials.
• Realistic things were included end-to-end (payload validation, csrf (if applicable), etc).

Still seems like a whole basket of fruit comparisons here.

None of these points seem correct to me. For instance, the "launch a better product" argument. Most of the time, the thing preventing a better product from entering is that they have to overcome their competition's advertising budget. If no one was allowed to advertise, evaluations of products would necessarily be more honest, and I expect that products would be better, not worse, for it.

As a value signal to investors, I don't know how you could possibly disentangle the benefits from the economies of scale from either of the effects that you're talking about, both the attraction of investors in the first place, or the relative bloat of their advertising budgets. Seems like a non-argument to me, but maybe "some economists" are right.

If you are convincing people of things that are true, it's done through a combination of science and democracy. If you perform a (preregistered) study and then accept the results, that's not lying, and if people review your products autonously, you haven't paid them at all.

And as far as internet content creators are concerned, Building up a following expressly so that you can cash out on your credibility with them is a huge manifestation of the problem. If anything, the ability to do this has almost completely depleted the internet of new good content. Basically what you've described is a pay to play model, where the only way that people can make content is if they can get paid to make it. Which means that the only content that exists is content that an advertiser wants to see. These are just independent contractor advertisers. Content is completely incidental to the model.

You've clearly put a lot of thought into why you should not have to admit that advertising is bad, but you haven't gone so far as to actually deny the statement that advertising is lying for money, or that a society built on lying for money is bad.
> Twitter censoring conservatives wouldn't be a big deal if Twitter had more competitors

How much evidence of this in practice is there (I mean evidence of systemic bias throughout the site beyond what could reasonably be expected with millions and millions of tweets etc.)? The fact the Donald Trump himself tweeted this [1] recently and it's still up, suggests they aren't exactly thorough.

> If they did look it up, they would literally see the very first words of the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law (...)".

The great irony is that the same people will happily quote "... shall not be abridged" when it comes to the next Amendment.
Except it's not nearly as simple as you make out here.

In Packingham v. North Carolina (2017) SCOTUS described social media websites as similar to a public square and ruled that the state couldn't block access to them in an overly broad manner.

Being open to the public does change how a business is regulated (see the ADA and Civil Rights Act among others) even if it doesn't make it a "public platform" specifically. However, a reasonable case can be made that Twitter has _intentionally_ positioned themselves as a public platform and so the case you cite could be argued not to apply.

Alternatively, Twitter could be argued to be editorializing. If that were the case, presumably they wouldn't really be a public platform but rather a publisher. But if that's the case, shouldn't they be held liable for all the nonsense that people post there?

The situation isn't clear at all even though many people on both sides of the debate frequently claim that it is.

but newspapers aren't required to express support for particular political candidates or viewpoints. That can get into trouble for publishing libel, ie maliciously presenting false statements as fact, but the criteria for what constitutes libel are very narrow. A newspaper can certainly publish an opinion like 'Politician X is a fool whose proposal should be ignored.'

The American Presidency is a storied and historic office, not just a job but a symbol of the nation, of its civic and cultural identity, so it has been difficult for a lot of people to come to terms with it being occupied by someone who is quite so openly and vocally a gibbering idiot. Hence the need to pretend that these pronouncements represent proposals into which serious thought and effort has been invested, rather than the momentary whims of a bloviating narcissist.
I want to break down this question slightly.

> Can a third-party other than Google deliver an AMP page?

Yes. Examples: Bing runs their own AMP cache and also delivers AMP pages. LinkedIn and Twitter also link to AMP pages, but they don't currently run a cache. IIRC, Twitter links to the Google AMP cache and LinkedIn links directly to the AMP variant on the publisher origin. They could run an AMP Cache. Cloudflare ran one for some time, but shut theirs down recently.

The AMP Project maintains a list of known AMP Caches here:
https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/build-syst...

And provides some guidelines for running one here:
https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/spec/amp-c...

It's non-trivial, but absolutely supported.

> Can a third-party other than Google deliver a Signed-Exchange?

Yes. Cloudflare generates them for their customers who opt-in via their "AMP Real URL" product. "Generates" in this context implies delivering them. To date, I'm unaware of any large scale implementation that is delivering Signed Exchanges for third-party origins other than the Google Cache though this may change. The tech stack absolutely supports this.
They would pick c. All the legislators have to do is set a minimum size and certain exceptions on what can be removed, eg above 100 million users and remove off-topic and spam. HN and 99% of websites would be unaffected, but Twitter, Facebook et al would have to be more hands off in moderation.

If you own a giant piece of land and the government wants to build a highway over a part of it, it's still possible for them to legally do it, even if you refused.

We were told that globalization made things more efficient. So, if you always saw it as a race to the bottom you are smarter than I and many others because that wasn't what was sold to us.

Maybe the real problem is that in the 60s we were told that our future selves would be filled with leisure time due to automation. That leisure team turned out to be a synonym for unemployment. The problem is that the wealth generated from globalization became centralized instead of benefitting everyone.

Inherently nothing. I could call him, but I have little reason to beyond a social chat as there is nothing to report, so it would be a "hey boss, how is the new baby doing?"

I haven't given much thought to the career implications of remote as I expect it to be relatively temporary in my case so I do not feel pressured to solve the problem.

If I own Google and refuse to index and show in search results anything from Huffington Post, CNN, Washington Post is that okay? It is not! Technically, Google is a private entity and can do whatever it wants.

Once a company becomes too big like Twitter, Google, Facebook, they have a moral obligation to stay neutral.

Interesting how opinions expressing a viewpoint that differs from the hive mind gets down-voted.
China is trying control overseas diaspora. Especially dissident voices. Exporting anti-state voices outside Chinese reach has long term consequences. A lot of anti-China sentiment is driven by previously persecuted groups that can be easily instrumentalized by western powers. Western Uighur, Tibet, HK, FLG advocacy groups have been very active for the last 30 years, and now their issues are magnified when aligned with western state interests for propaganda purposes. China doesn't want another generation of dissidents influencing with countries abroad.

My guess is, HK nationals with linked anti-state activities will likely be denied ability to leave the country. If relations between China and West get particularly acrimonious, this will include foreign HKer with foreign passports who reside in HK under their HK citizenship - i.e. they get treated as Chinese nationals foremost since they never renounced their HK/Chinese citizenship. Many HKers with goldenticket passports who thought they could protest (read: foreign influence on Chinese affairs) consequence free may be in for a surprise. The entire situation can get off the rails.

I think what China is most likely to do is Integrate HK into greater Bayarea, squeeze protesters into margins of society and out of HK by blacklisting them from local opportunities, disperse 4/7 million rebellious voices until it's drowned out by 66/70 million pro-CCP voices. Basically what Social Credit was designed to do: expel non-productive people or those that burden Chinese development out of privileged areas and visibility. Indoctrinate new generation to comport to CCP values, replaced displaced dissenters with mainlanders. HK becomes just another tamed Chinese city.
