Almost the entire American right wing media is continually hate- and fearmongering about their perceived political opponents, actively and/or knowingly spreading disinformation, and has been for my entire adult life, at least as long as I've been paying attention, which is going on several decades. That's their only move, give people enemies so they don't actually have to propose solutions to anything. It's easy to give people enemies, much harder to actually solve complicated problems that require getting everyone on board. There used to be a more intellectual, reality-focused American right wing (and still is, but to a vastly smaller degree than just a few years ago). But now Alex Jones has replaced William F. Buckley and modern Republicans are much more likely to know about Rush Limbaugh than Edmund Burke. Buckley and Burke would get tarred and feathered as RINOs nowadays and that's really saying something.

That's not an opinion or a judgement, that's just reality, as much as 1+1=2 or the sky being blue. It doesn't require interpreting anything or contextualizing anything. It's obvious and plain as day, and eyes and ears and integrity and maturity are all that are required to perceive it. I absolutely believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that any reasonable application of any reasonable rules of moderation concerning threats, abuse, and misinformation would have much more impact on a typical Trump supporter in 2020 than anyone else (still faithful in 2020 folks, that's the type of person we're talking about here), and that that would be almost certainly the fault of the individual, and not biased moderation. The only way moderation would affect both sides equally would be if both sides were the same, or composed of the same sort of people.

But both sides have never been the same, and that's more true now than at any time since the Civil War. Except that now Republicans identify with Confederates instead of Lincoln and his ideals, and somehow Democrats flipped from representing Evangelical rural Southerners to representing the industrialized, urban, and successful parts of America, that were represented by Republicans in Lincoln's day.

FWIW I agree with George Washington that political parties themselves are the poison pill that repeatedly divides and screws up America, and that our current system is fatally flawed because it naturally leads to a two-party system, and that two-party systems by definition lead to more corruption and shittier governance. Just because one party is clearly criminally corrupt doesn't make the other party the goodguys, but until (if ever) we get rid of FPTP voting, it's a "pick the lesser evil" situation, and hoo boy is one evil obviously lesser than the other one.

What's your point? I'd rather not assume you're saying "privacy doesn't matter because people don't care about it" or "Email is more private because people think it's more private".

> I think you're being downvoting because your first sentence appears to be calling all leftists lunatics when (correct me if I'm wrong) you're actually saying "there are no leftists who are quite as loony and prominent as Trump so there is no easy comparison".

I think so. The GP's use of the term "leftist lunatics" reads as a right-wing shibboleth to me.
It is a tough problem. I think social media companies should treated more like utilities than publishers and should not be held responsible for their content beyond removing illegal materials. I think they should provide their users with the tools they need to moderate their feeds themselves, with an emphasis on transparency and user control. We do not need Twitter and Facebook to protect us from each other.
Make no mistake, the West would do DDT all over again if that was the price for getting rid of Malaria. But a very targeted intervention is off limits due to 'well, we don't know, something might go wrong'.

Nature doesn't care if humans all die. Nature doesn't 'care' at all. Humanity does. And this looks very ugly and very hypocritical.
Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
"I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation’s summers of riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention."

Well, think about it. A mosquito bite seems harmless, while getting torn to pieces by a shark, in a medium where you cannot even run it is scary as hell.
Do you mean the direct cost of implementing the compliance, or the indirect cost of no longer getting extra ad revenue in an illegal way?

In most cases I bet the former isn't all that much. The latter is a harder nut to crack, with everyone trying to toe the line and referencing what other companies are able to get away with. Lack of good faith is a big obstacle.

>I still don't understand why price gouging is not accepted. Only high prices are an incentive for new producers to enter a market. Or rather: high prices promise huge return on investments so that investors allocate money for producers to open new production facilities.

Price gouging only applies in circumstances where supply is fixed for all intents and purposes, so it's purely an act of taking advantage of people in a crisis because you can. Anyone who can ramp up production is already ramping up as much as they can.

In circumstances where it is accepted, it actually leads to bigger shortages since people benefit from hoarding.
> But the answer was “short sellers”! They actually hired people to sit around watching the coffee get made, so they caught the fraud."

Is it legal to report negatively on a company you're short selling? Wouldn't that count as market manipulation, even if your reports are true? Or will simply disclosing that you have a position while simultaneously disclosing the information make it safe and legal?

yes, IFR was trending toward 0.2-0.3% even in march, and with time it's only become more likely that those are the bounds. flu averages around 0.1% IFR, so likely 2-3X as deadly.
Don't have to type anything. If you don't type anything, there's nothing to keylog right? It'll send a notification to the duo app with the command name, and will allow you to verify whatever you're running. If the attacker attempts to sudo, it'll show the command they are trying to run and you can choose not to allow it.
Not really, because that clause does nothing to excuse the first clause.

Your reasoning is flawed. Mosquito bites don't silently and rapidly spread through human populations via close contact. If I get bit by a mosquito and walk into a crowded bar the patrons within are not at risk of becoming infected. Not true with COVID.

> Noor was ultimately arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder following an eight-month investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. In April 2019, Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, but acquitted of intentional second-degree murder. In June 2019, Noor was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.

It seems like the system ended up working to a degree, at least putting the murderer behind bars. So why would one expect significant protests?

The outrage in these cases isn't over a white cop killing a black person per se, it's that the system immediately moves to protect the murderers because they're cops. Rather than arresting the criminal, fellow corrupt cops were stationed outside of his house to protect him. That the main perp has finally been charged is a product of the protests rather than the justice system moving slowly - witness that the conspirators have yet to be charged. Anyone who believes in law and order should be sympathetic to the protestors, even in spite of race.

Furthermore, ascribing the motives of a few looters onto the whole protest is ridiculous. Especially as at least some of that destruction was led by agents provocateurs.
You can't get any more openly offensive than the current "trap" genre. It's basically kind of its point.
I can show you cases where right-leaning folks are left on the platform as well.

I've lived in Washington DC long enough to remember back when our subway was allowed to run in (mostly) automated mode. There was a deadly accident that wasn't directly the fault of the Automatic Train Control (the human operator hit the emergency brake as soon as she saw the parked train ahead of her) but it still casts light on some of the perils of automation.
If we're being honest, Twitter is basically a machine that glorifies violence. It rewards it at the platform and algorithmic level.

An endless volume of tweets under every charged trending topic violates these rules, which are being surfaced and promoted by the platform. And it enables mob mentality like nothing we've seen before.

Moderation is mostly just theater, especially as long as the platform itself is quite literally encouraging the core behavior.
I wonder if you could an optimizer to find even shorter solutions. At 60 bytes, the search space is huge, but with some clever tricks, who knows...
We didn't lose that much because I suspect big business in Europe is largely ignoring the more difficult parts of the GDPR. I work for a large bank that is totally non-compliant with GDPR and does not really even have a strategy for getting there. My impression is that we (the bank) looked at the draconian requirements of the bill, realized that, with the total mess that the IT of the bank is in, implementing GDPR would cost billions, and just sort of gave up. It looks like we wait for the regulators to fine us and hope that it won't be a nine figure fine.
This is the Sistine chapel of shitposts. It's miraculous.
I don't really see the issue here with a surveillance drone to help keep the peace. I don't really care if it's "military technology" or not. Look, what happened was absolutely awful. People have a right to protest - and should, but peacefully. Riots, looting, burning buildings? Sorry, that's going to far.

If the government starts firing rockets at people from that drone - well that's another story. But that is clearly not what is happening here.

Why should US even be compared to those countries. It is a functional and mature democracy. Going through the thread I find it shocking that police brutality and unaccountablity is a common thing in USA.
> They were fined in Jan 2019, but are they still out of compliance?

They were fined on one specific thing and they maybe fixed it (or silently replaced with an equivalent, non-compliant thing once they went out of the spotlight), however they are plenty of other things they do that are in breach and those are not being investigated nor fined which is why we're discussing the lack of enforcement.

> Which is why good lawyers are so important.

True, but a good law should be one that you can't lawyer your way out of and so far the GDPR outcome of that is inconclusive given there is barely any enforcement at all.
On the "only London" point, really? I lived in the UK for several years and I was constantly reading news about city centre louts across the country stealing people's phones, harassing people, making life unpleasant and the police not being able to do anything about it.

That, and the cost of living in the UK so high, for such modest/low quality of life. Don't get me started on hot/cold separate water faucets.

Unfortunately, you're bubbling away people who believe in free speech and free thought as well, and there are probably a lot more of those.

edit: Adding a bit more, the people being bubbled away will likely tend to just isolate. You might think you like that idea, but having spent some time in isolation, I will attest that it kind of messes with your head. You lose your "phase lock" with society on a lot of different norms, small and large. The stereotype of the "dangerous loner", though not always fair, attests to this reality.

If you want to keep someone as a useful member of society and not a tragedy-of-the-day, you have to keep talking to them.
These are anecdotes.

1. it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters are the calories; you could eat whole plants all day, but add a lot of added fat to your meals (e.g. French fries) or sugar, and there's plenty of potential for caloric excess, even from salads. And I don't know about your family, but my family living in the country side drank a lot of alcohol.

2. People have a "personal fat threshold", when that threshold is reached there's nowhere for the excess to go and people develop diabetes; this is why some people develop diabetes sooner than others. So yes, it is possible even for skinny people to get diabetes and genetics definitely play a role.

I find it baffling that even on this site people don't understand the value of anecdotal evidence (near zero), or that evidence has to come from a clinical setting with a control group and that epidemiological data must "disprove the null hypothesis".

Before trusting your own anecdotes, are you sure you isolated the variables? Have you watched them day in, day out? You know, it's a curious thing but overweight people in public don't eat much, overeating happens in private.

You should read the evidence for "energy poisoning" and then take a more critical look at your family.

Same thing happened to hospitals.
There are tons of examples. Look in almost any thread and there are people calling for public hangings of politicians, assassinations. The "guillotine" crowd. People telling people to burn down the city. Some people saying anti-Semitic stuff...I've reported a lot of this. Twitter usually comes back and say they found it wasn't in violation of anything. There are other politicians, such as Chinese officials, Iranian officials the Twitter has not policed or marked as misleading despite them being outright anti-Semitic or propaganda.
According to section 230, it is only relevant if it changes the meaning of the original content. If it's clearly different content, then it's clearly different content.

It’s a great idea, but I doubt it would succeed. Human nature tends to include not admitting fault. Also, many readers seem to choose their news (at least political news) for confirmation bias (whether intentional or not), so a news site/paper saying they were wrong would defeat that.

Not saying that retractions don’t happen, but they seem to be always buried under the headlines.
If you forward someone else something from a mailing list, should they have the ability to unsubscribe you from that list without your consent?

This is why I usually hit the Report Spam button. Sometimes I'll receive a legit looking email that I plausibly signed up for but don't remember - I could follow the unsubscribe link/hit unsubscribe and be a good citizen, but at that point the safer thing to do is to not interact with the mail and let Gmail know I don't want this anymore.

I'd rather receive the mail and let Gmail put it into a blackhole than try to solve the problem upstream myself and have the small possibility that I either miss a newsletter and get spam anyway, or tip off some system that my email address is "real".
i know someone who wants to do this, and probably can.

Offensive to whom? By definition, a conservative has a bias towards keeping things as they have been. As such, we should expect a conservative's sensibilities to be more along the lines of our parent's or grandparent's (or maybe even great-grandparent's) generation.

So look at it this way: are the things that conservatives say outside the bounds of common decency of the 1980s? 1950s? 1930s? Then ask if the kind of things that left-leaning users say are outside the bounds of common decency of the 1980s, 1950s, 1930s.

You say that political correctness is just common decency. Your grandparents probably had a different standard for common decency in their day.

I believe adc is still commonly used as a way of reading the carry bit. For example, assuming eax has already been zeroed, adc eax, eax would be the idiomatic way of reading the carry bit into eax.

The carry flag gets set by all sorts of instructions other than addition and subtraction (comparisons, bit shifts, multiplication, etc) so this is more useful than you might think.

> With all that's happening the last few days, please don't associate Minnesotans with the riots that have captured the attention of everyone.

I understand what you're going for, but this is a bad approach. People aren't rioting because they want to destroy things, they're rioting because they don't feel like they're being heard. What you're saying here reads as "don't listen to them, they don't represent us" which is ... exactly the point.

We need to collectively shut the hell up for 5 minutes and just listen. Maybe if we actually did that, these riots wouldn't be happening.
