The legal issue is that their legal protection from defamation and libel under section 230 requires them to moderate "in good faith". If they only selective moderate accounts, then that protection may not survive in court.

...but I think a greater concern we can all agree on, is that for the type of communications that Twitter does - Twitter is effectively a monopoly. The people being censored here can't even themselves go to any alternative platform, because there's really no other platform at that scale for that content format.

...that's a bigger problem, because it gives Twitter the power to shape global communications unilaterally. Something no corporation should have the power to do.

I think, broadly, that censorship should be regulated by democratically elected bodies - not corporations.

I really disagree here. Monolithic dags are a bigger pain to manage.

Breaking them out into smaller dags makes retrying/backfilling/etc a lot more straightforward. It also lets you reuse those pieces more easily.

We have compute DAGs that are the upstream dependency for many other dags. Originally, this dag was monolithic and loaded data into one table. But because the dag is split into computation and loading we can easily add more downstream dags without changing how the first one operated.

Jon Gruber's take is brutal: https://daringfireball.net/2020/05/abovitz_magic_leap_transl...
realmilk.com is the website of a campaign for raw milk by the Weston A. Price Foundation. Being the website of an activist organisation it is not a source that is likely to be objective. Especially troublesome is the clear attempt to rebrand raw milk as "real milk", possibly to avoid the negative associations that most people rightly make with raw milk.

I cite below from the wikipedia page on raw milk, which is more likely to be an objective source:

With the exception of an altered organoleptic [flavor] profile, heating (particularly ultra high temperature and similar treatments) will not substantially change the nutritional value of raw milk or other benefits associated with raw milk consumption."[20]

Raw milk advocates, such as the Weston A. Price Foundation, say that raw milk can be produced hygienically, and that it has health benefits that are destroyed in the pasteurization process.[2] Research shows only very slight differences in the nutritional values of pasteurized and unpasteurized milk.[12][20]

Three studies have found a statistically significant inverse relationship between consumption of raw milk and asthma and allergies.[28][29][30] However, all of these studies have been performed in children living on farms and living a farming lifestyle, rather than comparing urban children living typical urban lifestyles and with typical urban exposures on the basis of consumption or nonconsumption of raw milk. Aspects of the overall urban vs. farming environment lifestyle have been suggested as having a role in these differences, and for this reason, the overall phenomenon has been named the "farm effect".

Also see webpages (and a pdf report) on drinking raw milk from the US FDA and CDC, UK FSA and EU EFSA, below:

There is absolutely some truth that the mainstream media and tech giants are colluding to silence conservatives - the truth is that the mainstream "conservative" position in the US happens to involve behavior that runs afoul of neutral content norms (don't threaten people with violence, don't call them racial slurs, don't dox people, etc.) disproportionately more often than people with other political beliefs. Sure, there are some people of other political persuasions who are "essentially" calling for violence, but there's a large gap between "as MLK said, a riot is the language of the unheard, so I can't condemn it" (and even that is hardly a universal position among non-conservatives) and "I, the actual commander-in-chief of an actual military, am telling that military to use violence against my own people" + "We all think this is good and proper, do it."

This is an uncomfortable, rude, politically incorrect truth - but we're not going to have a productive discussion about "silencing conservatives" if we can't admit it.

It is absolutely possible to advocate for the political positions of conservatives (looking through the 2016 GOP platform, for instance - limited government, federalism, avoiding trade deficits, repeal of Dodd-Frank, auditing the Fed, right-to-work, opposition to abortion, support for the electoral college, removing gray wolves from the endangered species list, etc., etc.) without behavior that runs afoul of the norms. If there's a case where Twitter suspends someone for opposing Dodd-Frank, then we should absolutely criticize Twitter. (And I think there's a legitimate discussion to be had about where the line is about criticizing the government's pandemic response vs. spreading misinformation, for instance.) But saying "Conservatives really like to advocate for shooting people without due process, Twitter doesn't permit the advocacy of shooting people without due process, therefore Twitter is biased against conservatives" is more of a statement about conservatives than about Twitter.
you're saying it like it's not already happening, and it's completely divorce from any actual reality or perception. When they say "I'm being silenced" they are simply pushing buttons they know work with more reasonable people, they are just using the "system" to their advantage. Conservatives in the USA are not a good faith actor and should never be taken at face value.
"Not an argument for this site I guess," hence the downvotes, heh. I agree though. And I'd take it a step further and say that the institution of policing in the US has historically always been on the side of systemic violence. Police forces literally started as night patrols to catch runaway slaves, which as about as racist as it gets. If there was a point in history where they somehow severed ties with their racist origins and underwent fundamental, institutional change, I've yet to learn about it.

Yeah but think about the cops morale, they would be revoked the carte blanche aka the licence to kill (freely and pretend it was an accident)
Looks like the only U.S. states without them are Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia
Any lawful order, I'd suspect.

That's an important distinction. If you're ordered to shoot yourself in the head by a cop, "no" is a perfectly reasonable answer, and likely to stand up in court.
Presidents are also commanders in chief; a civilian that has ultimate control of state’s violence monopoly. Still the distinction between lawful/unlawful applies.
> I'd never live in an area where I expected my car to be broken into unless I had no other options

I live in a very nice area of DC, cars would get rifled through every ~2 months or so, very late at night and they would move very quickly. Many people have decided that it is worth their while to live there despite this minor inconvenience. If you don't want to live there, that's fine - but please don't vote for people who are going to institute stop & frisk and heavy policing of poor neighborhoods. Those policies don't even work to stop it - the cause is large wealth disparity in a small geographic region.

You may have the choice to live in a certain area, many do not have the choice to live in areas where they are subject to demeaning patdowns and stops.
> You can totally design your tasks to be idempotent

Yes of course, I mean Airflow is not a good fit for the tasks you don't want to be idempotent (I think most but not all tasks should be idempotent).

> I've never ran into issues with cross dag dependencies

I believe Airflow docs advice against them when possible. I see why from my experience: less visibility and more complexity, especially for backfills.
I don't think any reasonable person would think that Twitter supports violence simply because they aren't removing posts from people who don't matter. When you have limited resources, you have to apply them in a way that has the most impact. Making sure the President of the United States is adhering to their ToS seems like a good place to start.

Remember that Twitter gets something like 500 million tweets per day. If it took someone working minimum wage 15 seconds to decide whether or not a tweet violates their ToS, Twitter would spend 30 million dollars a day on this, and the results probably wouldn't even be that good. So they don't do that, instead focusing resources where they will have the most impact.

I am also pretty sure they are not trying to censor conservative viewpoints. If Joe Biden starts telling people to go shoot looters or that Mitch McConnell murdered one of his aides, I am sure they will add a little note to those tweets.
Every one of those countries has a high level of social cohesion that is not present in the USA. Don't you think that would be a huge factor?
Definately not the same. For a better snapchat—like feature, where you want reasonable protection against your coms partner telegram is way better. Also protects you from screenshots etc (again: reasonable privacy relative to threat model)
In most jurisdictions the only thing a company in the US is legally required to do is pay you for the days you've worked in the pay period you are terminated. If they let you go, they are also usually required to give you your final paycheck at termination time. Mandatory severance is not part of the law.
> having more citizens should benefit a national economy

Generally that trend holds true - as long as migration is well handled. There are immediate infrastructure costs that need to be paid that the Country won't immediately see a return on.

Also governments aren't particularly profitable at the best of times, most of them are running at a deficit regardless of the number of people in their Country.
Okay, please roll out the red carpet for the people coming to loot your home or business, good boy.
I'm not sure that's an accurate portrayal of the history of the matter. It wasn't at all a carefully considered scheme, it was thrown together slapdash, the option that none could hate but also none loved.

You cite Federalist 68, but forget that less than a year later Hamilton was gaming the electoral college.

The founders were humans. They had flaws and disagreements. Many parts of the Constitution are borne more out of political expediency than grand ideals, and the operation of the Electoral College is not exempt from these caveats.
There's a solid argument to be made that when you eat, and how often you eat, is more important than what you eat.

Specifically, the thesis is that if you eat constantly, you constantly have a high level of insulin, which your body becomes used to, and then has to produce more to actively control your blood sugar. Insulin resistance is a runaway positive feedback process.

Insulin is particularly challenging because it actively causes sugar from your blood to be converted to fats and stored in your adipose tissue -- and blocks the release of fats from your adipose tissue. Eating frequently actively inhibits your ability to lose weight.

By creating long gaps between meals, your body re-establishes what baseline level of insulin should be. Studies are starting to bear this out, more are needed. I can dig up some more papers if you like, but this is a good place to start [1].

I can assure you, whether it was the intent or not, that the message got out in the 1980s and 1990s that all sunlight exposure is uniformly bad and its only effect is to increase your likelihood of skin cancer, so everyone should avoid it and unconditionally use strong sunscreen for any exposure.
These studies need to keep up until we can fully account for the difference in fatality not only worldwide, but state to state.

Why has Japan, with an older population (median age 47), a tiny island, crowded indoor subways —- has only experienced 900 deaths and never locked down! while some zip codes in New York experiences 2x that amount.

Even state to state the difference is alarming.

Ask HN: Seeking advice on a new job, includes relocation from Asia to Europe?
I am currently located in a country in Asia, where the covid situation has a long way to even flattening the curve!

I have received an offer from a country in Europe just before Covid; however due to lockdowns, my visa processing is paused. This is a great job offer in a very reputed organization in a niche domain very well aligned with my skillset.

However with Covid, I am seeking inputs of fellow HNers:

- Should I seek a remote onboarding option? If yes, how to approach it?

- Does moving from my current location to Europe make sense in the covid situation, from medical care and other perspectives?

Kindly share your inputs with reasons if possible, if you would move or not or any other ideas?

Thanks, stay healthy and safe.

I do consider it spam, unless the email is actually about a previous transaction. I don't equate doing a transaction with a business with permission for them to bother me about something unrelated.
What about a mailing list you signed up for and enjoyed at first, but lost interest after one year? Was that email always spam? Is it spam now?

Not all messages that get put into the spam folder are actually spam. There’s a wide variety of emails that aren’t spam, but also aren’t necessarily wanted anymore either. Those are the ones this article is focusing on. Make it easy for your readers to unsubscribe so they don’t call you spam.

What if it’s a mailing list you signed up for but lost interest in?
I'm just going to say again that I can't for the life of me understand why people are in agreement that this tweet glorifies violence. It is a call to stop being violent lest violence increase.

Looting always leads to shooting. This is a simple fact.

I'm horrified that so many people think me saying that is glorifying violence. I don't understand it in the slightest. Seeing this tweet by Trump get silenced absolutely convinces me that there is a conspiracy. Not so much against the right, but against truth.
It might be true on some platforms like Facebook, where your network tends to be made up of family and colleagues (so you can't really avoid what your uncle might have to say), but I don't think it's true on social media websites like reddit or twitter, where you can choose which content you follow (subreddit, following certain users, etc.)
You replaced the word "suggests" with "may".

You're seeing a distinction between these two words that I apparently do not, since I take them both to indicate "this is a possibility, though not the only one, and a far from proven certainty."

I would add that, even there, my statement was predicated on making an inference about dietary habits - something I cast doubt on with the opening, "if taken at face value." Something I further opined on in my other post, where I pointed out that the paper may be reversing causality.

I feel like you're criticizing a strong inference having been made, that I think pretty clearly wasn't.
For posterity, the bad-faith in the original comment is based on the fact that the poster states that tagging something as disputed is itself arbitration. But the act of tagging a tweet as "disputed" is a purposeful deference of arbitration to 3rd parties. In other words, the action is the opposite of what he/she is saying and the poster is either self-deceived or wantonly obfuscating truth and deceiving others - very bad-faith.
You could say requesting dox is a form of violence. But it's a lot less violent than ordering the military to shoot people. It's reasonable that a policy of removing tweets that glorify violence would catch one but not the other.
We should step back and look! What concerns me about policing is that a lot of proposals seem to reduce to ignoring the problem; there's a particular famous city a bit north of me where it's just become accepted that the streets should be covered in poop and shattered window glass. So I'm skeptical of alternatives which can't clearly explain how they will stop people from doing crimes.
> I try to be reasonable here.

I try to be a little more reasonable here. If it's a business that required me to sign up to do business with them and didn't allow me to opt out of their marketing emails then I have no problem whatsoever clicking the Spam button. And, if their marketing emails go to a third party domain -- such as a bulk emailer -- then it goes into the Phishing bucket regardless of whether or not I opted out of their marketing emails.

The headline is misleading. The "statement" is a Twitter thread, and it doesn't say anything about banning or not banning everybody. The body of the article concedes that it only "heavily implies" they'll never ban him. And that was three years ago. Some stuff has happened since then.

It should be valuation divided by all shares equals value per share.

The tricky part is whether the valuation number you have is what the company is paying to buy your company or if it's the overall value. If it's the overall value, then you need to subtract your company's outstanding liabilities.
I am raising this question because many think that looting is the right thing to do and it allows avenge of George Floyd. I personally think that it hurts George Floyd's cause and only creates more divide. Violence is not the answer to society's deep racial issues.

Thanks I guess for citing the definition of a Riot. I think that's a better word for it.
