> just double down removing offending content and defend from the lawsuits

This is unsustainable though, there is just too much content to filter. There is also the fact that lacking such protections the site will be targeted by bad-faith actors who intend to harm the site by posting lots of legally problematic content.
Interesting approach. Assuming no bots, doesn't that change actual sentiment among the population. How can you measure what people are thinking if dissenting voices are banned?
Nope, I would use reddit even more if it meant a higher quality user experience, which the expulsion of those sorts of people would guarantee.
hey there, i tested your service last year, does what is says greatly. Price point is not there for me sadly

This is correct, but the toxic, racist, alt-right, pro-fascism posts covering the front pages of sites like voat and ruqqus make me and many others wholly uninterested in these sites.

If someone wants to provide an alternative to reddit but they don’t want to moderate/censor content that makes people uncomfortable, Reddit becomes the lesser evil.
The clathrate gun has fired. Things are going to be worse than just "sad".
They really do make the best clothing I have ever owned, fantastic comfort, practical, good styling and colour palettes.

A great bonus that they also have a strong ethics. My jacket uses down that is certified as being cruelty free, the factories are checked for fair working practices.
This.
This is so true.

India can never be a superpower until we are born inequal at birth!

There will be growth only in a society which has some sort of equality.

Anyone can look at the amount of upper castes in positions of power, land ownership share and executive positions in the country. You have to compare it with the population distribution among castes and you'll see the inequality immediately.

The main problem here is that it's not even in the mainstream public discourse cause the narrative is always set by the upper castes.

People were trending black lives matter as if they care about humanity. It was so hypocritical!

This won't stop unless caste is uprooted from the society.
And also how to deal with communities that should absolutely not be spilling over into the rest of Reddit. Reddit, I think rightfully, quarantines a lot of ED related subreddits.
They're just throwing in anyone who was ever arrested and had a public mugshot regardless of whether they were subsequently charged or convicted. Police arrest people on bullshit or made-up charges all the time.

By contrast, here's a database of people involved in far-right violence organized around the actual disposition of legal cases, with references to primary sources like court documents rather than shallow news articles.

OK so if I follow, you make a false claim above ( >For added irony much of their clothing and equipment is made from synthetic materials derived from oil.), and now you're talking about Coca Cola?

Why don't you stop trying to make weird points, read the mission statements of companies akin to Patagonia, verify they are following their missions, AND THEN join the discussion?

For added cruft here are a list of the most common materials used by Patagucci:

- cotton

- hemp

- recycled* synthetic material

Reddit's issue is the issue of so many ad supported websites. Clicks sell ads and controversy draws more clicks than anything else.

It's been clear over the last few years that the popular subreddits are the ones that have the most dramatic content.

Smaller subreddit do tend to have better discourse though until eventually, they get large enough to become popular and start to become the same echo chambers.
Arguably without the ranking and recommendation, FB is quite boring.

The feed is such an integral part of FB.
Everything you have mentioned is true, but it misses the point.

India needs to go through a period of "communism" to get anywhere, the type of land reform needed to reduce poverty won't happen without somebody brutal enough to go against the interests of the wealthy in India.

India is still mostly a feudal society, that was thrust into the 20th Century from the 16th Century.

It was robbed of 4 centuries of social change.

> infighting between secular and religious figures

and who do you think instigated it ? how was India able to have different religions living side to side without communal violence until the Brits showed up ?

India could fix it's issues with it's neighbors by being more empathic as a regional hegemon, CCP understands this.

It's more likely that the Indian Communist Party comes into power before 2030, and all of Eurasia switches side and forms a cartel against the G7.
Apple approves Hey email app, but the fight's not over yet
Get ready for a wave of outsourcing of everything from tech to bpo like the US labor market has never seen in the coming 6 months.

Once employers go through the initial pain of setting up remote work, the more than 50%(and sometimes as much as 80%) cost savings will be irresistible. If you are not in government, healthcare, or other industry that does not have legal requirements to maintain a US presence and you work in an office, I would be saving every penny and working on a career change ASAP.
Fusion Log Viewer: The binocular to assembly binding
Population growth over a 30 year period is quite predictable. The rate is very cultural, and cultures change slowly.

And it's quite clear that population is a component of world power. Definitely not the only component, and probably not the most important component, but if all else is equal, the larger country will be the more powerful.
> Top students convincing everyone else to stop trying. Or, great engineers convincing the rest to stop trying.

This happens in a more literal sense as well. Since we compare ourselves to each other, it makes sense that more experienced engineers love feeling like they're ahead and beyond newer engineers, and it bleeds into behavior.

For example, engineers love asking candidates obscure questions in interviews - as if not knowing a specific JVM perk makes the candidate less of an engineer.

Let's also not forget the severe elitist attitude some engineers have when interacting with others. It's almost like everyone else is trash. For all the work he's done, which I admire, Torvalds was seriously toxic to interact with.

It all ties back to us wanting to compare ourselves to each other.
I guess the western media is still portraying the India as it was forty years ago.. The untouchability although still present in pockets of India, is not a significant problem anymore. With many Dalit politicians/leaders coming over to power in last few years. And a systematic reservation given to affected communities in both education and government sector. These have uplifted the social as well as financial status of the affected communities.

PowerDNS lets you do that (if you run it against a SQL database), or CoreDNS/etcd for simple stuff.
The main thing I do to avoid this is to host files on a separate server w/o PHP or a block storage service like e.g. S3 or B2. Make sure the domains are different too so you can't steal cookies.

You can also run a ClamAV scan to catch very obvious threats.
> In addition to the privacy aspect, it probably helps reduce the travel distance of any particles that one exhales

Maybe a little bit, but I'd think you'd want barriers that are at least head-height if you wanted to to that.
People are already paying for downloading seeded torrents, they are just hidden behind private trackers, as the public torrent selection is quite small.

I'm also paying for youtube premium, at the same time the people I'm listening to have to be careful not to say ,,COVID-19'', because their revenue would drop to 0, even though it was the main meme of the last few months. I would happily pay them through lightning network instead.
This brings up a concept I never really thought of. Is it better to approach this problem from the perspective of privacy vs ownership. If it is not a tangible asset, ownership seems tricky. It's like IP law. Do you really own the observation of your behavior?
> (play the version on the Xbox 360, maybe also the XBone, not sure)

Perfect Dark on the Xbox One is a lovely bit of emulator stacking: it's running in the Xbox 360 VM on the Xbox One, and the 360 game is itself running a custom Microsoft N64 emulator. It works much better than you think it should given the layers upon layers of indirection; many kudos to Microsoft's game VM and emulator teams for some of the hoops they've gone through over the years.

A good way to pick up Perfect Dark for the Xbox One is the Rare Replay pack. Sometimes you can find it for surprisingly cheap given the wealth that exists inside it. In addition to Perfect Dark and its 360 launch title prequel Perfect Dark Zero, it's about as complete a set of Rare's extensive back catalog as Microsoft's lawyers could muster the licenses for (so none of the games with Nintendo owned characters, though it sounds like they almost succeeded in convincing Nintendo, and also not Goldeneye which was bogged down with licensing issues between both Nintendo and EON Productions, the Bond license owners, and apparently truly scuttled at the very last minute based on intended behind the scenes features that wound up on YouTube anyway), plus some fun Behind-the-Scenes featurettes.

Going Remote: The Parts No One Tells You by Fernando Mendes
Nick Bloom is a well-regarded economist. I'm not familiar with the others. He has a couple of papers on this theme that the advantage of some countries is superior management. I haven't read the papers, but people seem to not regard the idea as laughable.

The paper does rely data from McKinsey and Accenture, for what that's worth.
What? The US government and others are still building these computers because they are valuable. Summit for example is nearly constantly in use at full capacity and has enabled a huge variety of research. It's hardly a "reserve" capability. Not to mention that AWS isn't really suited for a lot of the biggest supercomputing workloads...

TOP500 is not very important, but it's not meant to be much more than a simple benchmark that correlates roughly with real performance. Supercomputers aren't designed just to be number 1 on TOP500, it's a byproduct of their actual goal.
Yeah, but it's always the hate subreddits that make the headlines when they're quarantined.

You addressed it in respect to the ability to quit. I'm talking in terms of the standard you are setting and projecting onto all companies. I don't see how that's in bad faith or gaslighting. I don't think you know what that term means based on your use.

> For jobs that can be done remote

This might be the key issue - it sounds like you are massively undervaluing aspects of non-remote work that are beneficial to both workers and companies.

> Every company that forces employees into an office has gross office politics.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree. I'm all for more remote companies existing, but offices are not inherently corrupt.
> But India is still a Semi Slavery society.

Unlike the USA and other western countries? Have you been in USA recently? In fact, if one did the genuine stats incorporating analysis of wage slaves and issues around food stamps, I'd wager that slavery is more of an issue in USA.

> It is so hard to believe such brutal system still exist in human society

It is so hard to believe that James Byrd Jr was dragged behind a truck until his head popped off due to the friction with the road. That was not in the 1800s. That was in 1998. This wasn't in some Appalachian village, it was in Jasper. Yes, a sunset town. And that murderous knee for 8 minutes 46 seconds on George Floyd. That was in 2020. In Minneapolis. Not some tiny Indian village. Do we really need to keep going? We should look in the mirror.
Just closed my Reddit account. I am so tired of these vocal minorities bullying others.

If social justice is so important to them, I suggest to go help homeless people or to go taking care of the elderly instead of posting on social networks.
Filing bugs against the broken packages would be a nice thing to do. Easy enough to test on a Raspberry Pi or whatever.

I have a hunch our industry will need to increasingly deal with ARM environments.
> where the state department can just overthrow the govt of a major country if it likes

That's an extraordinary exaggeration. The state dept does not have that power at all, not even close. Show me all the examples of this happening to a major country, much less a major democracy, in the last 50 years.

It's incredibly difficult - nearly impossible - for the state dept to overthrow the government of a major country. That's why Saddam Hussein, the dictator of a very weakened non-major nation, was so hard to remove.

Iran? Overwhelming proof of how hard it is to topple the government of even a mid-major nation. The state dept has wanted to change the government of Iran for four decades now and can't do it.

If the US could topple countries so easily, Putin wouldn't be ruling Russia as a dictator. Chavez wouldn't have continued ruling Venezuela as a dictator (and Maduro wouldn't be in there now). Fidel wouldn't have ruled Cuba as a dictator for so long. China wouldn't be operated the way it is now, ruled by a dictator. North Korea wouldn't be run by the Kim dictatorship. Bashar al-Assad wouldn't still be ruling Syria as a dictator. Although it is interesting what all of these countries have in common.
No kidding!

I don't have any sense of how much these cost to manufacture. There ought to be a market for a A64fx based rackmount server system. If the price isn't outrageous, I'd love to see these sold as an SBC.
Every time we have a conversation about why Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit shouldn't be allowed to"censor" content, I ask what would become of Hacker News if it was not permitted to moderate spam or threads that do not follow the HN guidelines.

I think it would quickly devolve into 4Chan. Almost all of the current community would decamp, and the trolls that infest other sites would take over.
This feels like its been prerecorded (understandably). Though it just doesn't have the same feel as previous keynotes.
The thing is, having worked remotely for a year... the people working remote are the ones that become at a disadvantage. Because people in office may forget to include them in calls or conversations.
How might a democracy suffer if those who control the common venues for voter's political dialogue are given a monopoly over setting the bounds of acceptable speech?
That's a set of real numbers, and primality is not defined for real numbers, so 5.0 can't be a prime. The whole concept is just not applicable unless were talking about natural numbers, in which case the set is finite.
i never visit reddit's frontpage, i visit instead the individual subreddits that i frequent at. In fact i wonder why the frontpage exists. Voat would do a service to themselves if they removed the frontpage.
Doesn't that mean that Reddit is doing a half decent job? If all that stuff was on Reddit (haha if...) wouldn't it turn you off of the site?
Defunding police departments (many of which everyone is realizing are grossly overfunded) and taking away qualified immunity (which is a protection entirely made up by the judicial branch, which the police have close relationships with) are not “collective punishment”.
Yeah, any comparison to China needs to acknowledge that China is largely ethnically homogenous and has an authoritarian government that has relatively consistent goals top-to-bottom. India is nothing like that and I don't see it becoming like that anytime soon.
Yes! There's nothing weird about rust's synchronization on shared state. If you have a mutex, you can do what you want just like in c++. The mpsc::channel thing that gpp might be talking about is just a nice to have tool for sending data between threads. No one is forcing its use.
iOS 14 has a new home screen with widgets
Right! But this time is a little different:
- with Lightning Network fees are actually low, compared to on-chain
- no need for a new email account, instead you can add inbox fee to existing email
- full privacy, as your data never leaves your device, and payments are anonymous
I cant imagine this type of model existing without a large number of companies continuing to monetize that data regardless of if they charge the user or not. Unless data privacy laws get much better why wouldn't they? Just say sorry when caught and keep on doing it.
The fediverse is already here and more or less offered a working solution to aggregated data abuse. Fediverse instances are mostly crowd-funded, the software is typically open source, and there are no direct paths to placing ads, which disincentivises data collection or selling. The only attack vectors are web scraping, really.

It's just a matter of educating the (boomer and zoomer) public, that "official companies" with proprietary services aren't the only legitimate platforms, and that the actual internet isn't 5 websites, but millions of interoperable and bustling websites and fediverse instances.

Louis Vuitton, Harley Davidson, etc do not give people the illusion of owning their business and do not encourage them to stockpile garbage products in their garage to keep their "status" in their "business". They do not encourage people to con their friends & family into the scam either.

Furthermore, most of these luxury goods have actual value. Even if you are stupid enough to go into tons of debt and fill your garage with Harleys, there will be plenty of buyers who will be happy to take it from you at a small loss. In comparison, nobody will buy a garage full of Herbalife - the cost of shipping would be more expensive than the market value of the product itself.
It is, would you try it?
It's not the tone as much as the omission of the elephant in the room, which is that "coffee is healthy" is a revenue-generating narrative for the coffee business/cartel. Especially in light of this research being funded by said business.
I think there is no alternative but for the west to tie itself closely to India if they want liberal democracy to prevail. India is deeply flawed, but has a deep and abiding affinity for democracy, and a polity that is sophisticated about things like strategic split-ticket voting to prevent too much power being concentrated in one political party. As such, it frustrates me that Western countries don't help us consolidate our position in international affairs, including by allowing us to officially be a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and supporting our bid to be on the UN Security Council.

If you're interested in how India's history informs our politics, economy, and foreign relations today, take a look at Today in Indian History, a newsletter which my brother and I recently launched. Four times a week, we lay out the context and consequences of an event in India's past that happened on that date. Link below:

India's been leaning right for a while from what I've seen, I'd rather the EU decouple itself from U.S. foreign policy and be an independent, serious counterbalance to China, India, Russia and the U.S.

But I suspect the possibility of that happening is rather slim, sadly.
They're not censoring them at all - they're adding more context below them that some of the content is misleading. You can still read every insane word in its original context.

Since Fugaku has been in the works for a while, I wonder if Apple just tried to choose the date of their announcement to coincide with the Top500 ranking
My impression is the reason is that there really isn't widespread agreement on the harmfulness of such communities, so they're sort of trying to split the middle. And perhaps also to advocate for seeing them as awful, per corporate sentiment.

The principal example that comes to mind is TD, which seems more obnoxious and tasteless than some sort of evil.

Subs that truly are beyond the pale by wide consensus seem to get dropped immediately and without objection.

As to not wanting to win, well, yes, dropping everything controversial means losing a lot of page-hits, and as a business, they're likely wary.

I have more "Made in Vietnam" tags on my Patagonia clothes than "Made in China".

Patagonia has been leading the way on ethical manufacturing for a long time. Easily since the late 1990s. They don't appear to be bargaining for rock-bottom price with their Chinese contractors -- they are asking for higher standards, both labor and environmental. According to their website, they have narrowed the list of contractors they work with so that they can monitor them better.

Also, as their website points out, it's important to not fetishize American clothes manufacturing as such. The American textile industry is much smaller than it once was, due to NAFTA and related agreements.

I think Apple stopped caring about devs marketshare a long time ago and instead is focusing on the more lucrative hip and young Average Joe consumer.

Most of the teens to early 20 somethings I know are either buying or hoping to buy the latest Macs, iPads, iPhones and AirPods while most of the devs I know are on Linux or WSL but devs are a minority compared to the Average Joes who don't code but are willing to pay for nice hardware and join the ecosystem.
> You can criticize that the CDC lacked funding, but that is wrong[^1] and it misses the point: not being able to properly fund our agencies is itself evidence (if not proof) of government incompetence.

I'm not sure how this works out, considering we have one party whose entire stated goal is to defund the government and reduce government size. They are also the ones pulling the levers right now and have admitted over and over again to slash-and-burn styles of governing. Our government is fundamentally broken because we elect people who break the government and then say it's broken, so we need less of it.

> Similarly, we should have also had plans for scaling out testing capability. We also shouldn't have rolled our own (fallible, time consuming) tests if we were cash strapped--we should have used the WHO tests. Planning is relatively cheap and by all appearances the CDC didn't do it at all.

We had a pandemic response team and the previous admin did make plans in case of a future pandemic. Our current one decided to toss most of that out and downsize said response team. Additionally the US Government was literally seizing masks and undermining the CDC every step of the way.
This is a mistaken approach. The problem with data harvesting is the threat to future human freedom, not an injustice about paying people fairly
