I'm not that familiar with functional programming but I think the answer is no. In the situation I'm describing, most of the arguments to the private methods are completely different except for the implicit this/self argument that contains the progress of the algorithm. Currying is about turning a function of multiple arguments into a function of one argument which itself is a function (which in turn takes a function as an argument, and so on). I don't see the connection. Maybe you could clarify?

> That isn't clear to me at all. The publisher is essentially the author from a liability perspective.

In a newspaper that selectively chooses to print some letters from readers, would the author be the publisher or the newspaper? That's an example of extreme moderation ("out of the 1000 letters we received this week, we will print this one") while Twitter is likely closer to the other extreme ("out of these 1000 Tweets, we'll hide/delete this one").
Newspapers do that because they are liable for what they publish. Twitter is not liable for what it publishes. Why should it not be liable? The answer is because they are just providing a platform and others are publishing. But the moment they use their platform to modify and censor what people publish, then they should probably be liable, right?
What’s the bias? It’s verifiable facts versus lies and disinformation.
That's a super helpful counter-point, thanks!
From the same article:

> Do I lose Section 230 immunity if I edit the content?
Courts have held that Section 230 prevents you from being held liable even if you exercise the usual prerogative of publishers to edit the material you publish. You may also delete entire posts. However, you may still be held responsible for information you provide in commentary or through editing. For example, if you edit the statement, "Fred is not a criminal" to remove the word "not," a court might find that you have sufficiently contributed to the content to take it as your own. Likewise, if you link to an article, but provide a defamatory comment with the link, you may not qualify for the immunity.

You may be held liable for the commentary you provide, but you are not liable for the content you provide commentary for, even if you choose to sometimes provide commentary.
Yes that's my thinking. Everything can be done both ways, but in my experience structs have a better track record. Also different languages implement objects differently which adds mental overhead. Copying structs or marking them read-only is also usually easier vs an object which manipulates its own state.
Why do you say that Trump will definitely lose it once another person is inaugurated, but only maybe when another person is elected president? Honest question.

Edit: I know election and inauguration are separate, I was wondering about the significance of this to Twitter.
> What's surprising is how often I encounter fellow Americans mistakenly asserting the first amendment extends beyond government and into the private sector.

It's a confusion between the First Amendment and the principle of free expression, which is kinda forgivable given how closely they are related.
> When you write C/C++, 100% of that codebase is unsafe.

Don't you think that statement is a bit over-the-top ? Large parts of C/C++ codebases are just as safe as the equivalent Rust code, as it doesn't do any pointer/memory manipulation.

For example, how is making a os system call in Rust any safer than the equivalent call in C ?
Yes, but nobody under 35 realises they're perpetuating it until its their ass getting upped and outed like everyone else

That seems like a pretty blank check for moderation to me, at least. "Otherwise objectionable" can easily be defined in a ToS, and you're off to the races.

“ Twitter is _the_ place where political discourse happens.”

Say what? https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2019/04/24/sizing-up-tw...

Twitter is a minority.

Fox News Channel is arguably the place where political discourse happens. It’s the most popular cable news network in America.

Should Fox News be regulated and forced to have a democrat on each show?
I recall that there were some pretty long threads here after the US warship hitting some commercial vessel. The big issue wasn't using a screen but that the designers had taken advantage of having screens to create a multi-functional interface so one station could serve different functions, or functions could be moved between stations. Flexible, but confusing. I think the move is not to analog control, but back to single-purpose controls. Also, even if mechanical controls replace touchscreens, I'm sure that there will still be an optical encoder and field bus behind everything.

> Right, so why are they trying to claim that they are a neutral platform then, for legal purposes, when they very clearly are not one??

Where are they claiming that? There's no such requirement under the CDA (if there was, then any website with a stated political or other stance and a comments section would be in serious trouble).

> Twitter responds to any lawsuits by claiming that they are a neutral disinterested platform, when they very clearly are not.

Examples of this?

> They enjoy the same legal protections as the phone company

No, they don't. Totally different protections.
Of course this is being handled ham-handedly, but it seems to me that section 230 is a ludicrous piece of legislative malfeasance that allows content publishers to duck the legal responsibilities of publishing while profiting from behavior that is obviously publishing.

I can't see how a Twitter/FB feed is substantively different from a curated "letters to the editor" section in a newspaper and I cannot for the life of me understand why it is treated different legally.

Would love to hear arguments that either 1) these social media sites are not actually publishing or 2) social media publishing is somehow different from publishing in other media.
> Popular platforms remain popular and useful because they have the power to make editorial decisions.

Bingo. I think this is a point that isn't made enough: to the extent platforms like Twitter can continue to exist, it depends on their ability to remove spammers, harassers, and other unwanted participants. Imagine using email in 2020 without a spam filter. Because Twitter isn't an open protocol, they provide both the protocol and the spam filter.

To ask them to stop removing any content would be as disruptive to their business as asking GMail to let all emails through.

edited for typos: Honest question with this comment. Which would you rather have controlling content. A private company that has not public accountability or a political official who was put in office via a democratic election? I get that a lot of people do not like Trump, but currently, even if he wanted to be a totalitarian leader the US currently has checks and balances that protect from that.
The article also fails to mention concerns about the accuracy of antibody tests, which is odd, given how much press I've seen on those problems in the past few days. The author covers the science beat for NPR, so it seems unlikely he wasn't aware of the recent antibody accuracy studies. NPR covered the story weeks ago (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/15/8344974...).
> There are very few hard facts in this world especially surrounding politics.

Surely this is false. The world is full of hard facts—politics less than the sciences, sure, but still [0]. What are much rarer (non-existent?) are undisputed facts.

[0] To be clear, I distinguish hard facts in politics, like "Trump is the 45th president of the United States", from hard facts in political science, of which there indeed seem to be very few.

I agree with most of the article you link, but there's one thing I don't understand: The article quickly dismisses the obvious fix for recursive iterability, to make strings be composed of "characters":

> And an obvious "fix" for this is worse than the original problem: Common Lisp says that strings are composed of characters, a totally different type, which doesn't implement the same methods and has to be handled specially. It's really annoying.

It seems to me this contradicts most of what the article says. Sure, strings are rarely collections, so they should not be iterable by default. But the final solution offered admits that sometimes they are, and then you want to be able to iterate over something. For most instances of something, It does not make sense for the individual "elements" to be strings. Bytes are clearly not strings, code points are clearly not strings, grapheme clusters are clearly not strings. Each of those will provide very different methods, because they are very different things. Only after that point (words, sentences, etc.) does the idea of the element being the same type start making sense again.

Clearly the concept of a "character" is too ambiguous, and there is no clear "default" for what it should mean, but the idea of a string consisting of some kind of element that is not string appears obviously correct.

Colorado bakery. Yes, they're opposed to private businesses having rights, when it conflicts with something they consider more socially necessary.
It's basically too late.

First, the administration must formulate the rule itself. In formulating the rule, it must also provide supporting documentation justifying the rulemaking, which must include a record of the data looked at in deciding upon the need for the rule, research and conclusions drawn from that data. If the research is external to the agency, they must also justify the selection of research used in drafting the rulemaking.

Once the proposed rule is published in the federal register, there is a comment period of at least 60 days or up to 180 days (depending on the complexity of the rule).

The administration must then spend time reviewing the comments. It doesn't need to respond to comments individually but it does need to address all of the issues raised by those comments, especially if the issues raise constitutional concerns.

Assuming that they get that out of the way without modifying the proposed rule (which could trigger another comment period, depending on the extent of the changes), the final version of the rule must then be published in the federal register.

A final rule does not take effect until at least 30 days after it is published in the federal register. There are very few rules which can be ex post facto (generally only rules that grant additional rights or freedoms, or which are tax-related).

So, even assuming the the crackerjacks in the Trump Administration could get a proposed rule out tomorrow, and review comments after the comment period in one day, they're still looking at 92 days before the rule could take effect, or approximately the end of August.

Note:this doesn't include challenges to the rule proceeding through the federal court system. While SCOTUS could theoretically hear emergency appeals to a temporary injunction or district court ruling on the merits, they've refused to grant appeals in much less contentious cases where they ultimate sided with the administration. If they were to do so, the ruling would come in the middle of the electoral cycle, and it would likely result in the Democrats taking the House, Senate, and Presidency. And then they could simply override the rule using the APA in January.
I’ve seen a number of these ‘for and against’ conversations. One aspect that I often see overlooked is the relationship between managers and direct reports. Managers use the ‘ass in chair’ as a proxy for work load. What time did you arrive, what time are you leaving, how often are you in and out of your chair? Rightly or wrongly, the 40 hour work week is only flexible in only one direction. If you improve your ability to complete your job duties, new job duties magically appear. To that end, it’s allowed the average manager to ‘outsource’ direct management. I’m curious how this relationship will change and I’m hoping the 40 hour work week will change with it. The crux of this question is, Why is the average employee not able to control the incremental value of their time? Is it possible to move to a task-based compensation system? and/or remote work have a positive or negative impact on the compensation structure – reducing work creep, Etc.
Unless I'm mistaken, Twitter isn't really in the business of bulldozing houses or otherwise introducing themselves into your daily life without consent - the simile feels forced.
It doesn't have anything to do with blocking Trump or fact checking him. It has to do with bias against conservatives. Trump had talked about this well before he was fact checked.

I'm surprised that people see going to an office as a solution to this difficulty though. I'd 100% rather be around family than in an office.

I've been managing fine by being available during the day, not stressing and just living in the moment. I get the heavy lifting done early in the morning or late at night. Just like in the office... my most productive hours have always been either before everyone else gets in or after everyone else goes home.

I'm serious. I'd like to make sure that we're not using your code.

Are you seriously afraid to promote your business because it might be attached to your comments? That should tell you something.
Wrong, because no one is bulldozing your house.

You’re on a street with a 100 houses and one of them is having a cool party. But the cool kids don’t like you and don’t want you in their house. The other 99 houses (Gab, Mastodon, theDonald.win , bulletin boards, etc.) welcome you in, but you don’t think their owners are cool and don’t want to hang with them.

Should the government force the owner of the cool party house to let you hang with the cool kids?

Many would say that violates freedom of association.

This idea of yours makes no sense.
Sorry big tech is subject to antitrust laws that have been on the books for 120+ years. The Federal Government could break Twitter up into 10 different pieces if it deemed the service a monopoly. That's not totalitarian, that's clearly justified. These platforms claim all the immunity of a utility while actively engaging in algorithmic and human-induced bias that completely slants the platform. In some cases the platform elevates and upholds the viewpoints of foreign nations above our own. That is not totalitarian. Targeting a specific political party for undue censorship and opinion meddling is totalitarian.
Trump is salty because supposedly these social media platforms lean left and are biased against the right. I can bet if it was the other way around, he wouldn't sign this. It is absolutely a partisan thing. I am not even saying whether he is right or wrong in his claim. But he is doing this only because the social media platforms supposedly hurt the right more.
Regardless of ones views pertaining to the current president, does anyone feel comfortable with so called "fact checking"? I do not like anyone acting as the sole arbiter of truth, whether it be the president, the pope, or the random fellow screaming in the park. I prefer that corporations trust their users to make their own choices about what people say instead of making edits or including addendum's to peoples posts. The people made the platform successful, let the people decide what is wrong and what is right, what is true and what is false, what is fact is and what is fiction.

There we go again. In NYC, 19 out of 100,000 people aged 18-45 died. (1)

There are roughly 110M people in that age group in the U.S. so that would mean 21000 deaths if the virus would spread as widely throughout the U.S. as it has in NYC (which is estimated to be around 25% of the population).

21000 deaths is not "near zero", nor is the population aged over 45 primarily found in nursing homes.

From reading through their site it seems to replace affiliate links with api calls.

Ie: I have a website (Channel), rather than place affiliate links, I can request products from an api and sell them directly to my users (audience).

Makes more sense when the channel is not a website (ie something that doesn’t have links) like a instagram story, or virtual environment. You want to sell the latest console / game from Microsoft, they provide an api, you pull the trailer, screenshot (media) and a price. The user can click buy there and then, you take payment via stripe and send an order to Microsoft via the api. Microsoft then fulfils the order.

Somewhere between affiliate and retailer.
To be honest I think they are walking the line right now. I would worry about them taking it any further. The problem is there is nothing stopping them taking it any further.
... Microsoft reaching out to him last year with interest in his work before going quiet and then launching its own winget rival.

Same old Microsoft tactics. That's exactly what Microsoft did with Stac Electronics' hard-drive compression software way, way back in the early 1990s. They got Stac to show them the software, stopped negotiations, then brought out their own DoubleSpace in MSDOS.

And people say that Microsoft is changed. Suckers!
Really? I find the opposite is true, if you aren't pushing commits that speaks pretty loudly.
>I'm not sure it's authoritarian to remove their liability protections, is it?

If the intent is to punish critics and suppress the speech of party opponents, then yes. Any authoritarian can justify their actions in abstract and general terms, but context matters.

We don't have to ignore it, but we also don't have to accept an autocrat's temper tantrum by fiat as an answer.

>What's the obvious First Amendment violation here?

The purpose of the First Amendment is to prevent the government from infringing freedom of speech - the President is attempting to use government power to infringe freedom of speech, to do exactly what the First Amendment was created to prevent.

Granted, the First Amendment only explicitly applies to Congress, but I feel like if states can be accused of violating it (as they often were regarding quarantine and shelter-at-home orders) then the President can as well.
