Using a throwaway account for this because Kiwi Farms but it is remarkably disingenuous to see people use Josh as an example of cancel culture run amok when he runs a site that is essentially the worst possible example of cancel culture.

It's a site which hosts a bunch of stalkers, doxxers and people whose sole purpose is to harass and ruin the lives of others. Anyone defending it is massively suspect to say the least. He wasn't 'cancelled' for wrongthink, he's been ostracized because he actively involves himself in making others people's lives worse.
No, I mean it's about removing people you hate's ability to speak to each other (and to you) in a completely legal manner, by getting reddit to destroy the place where they congregate and hounding them out of the digital cities.

The answer, of course, is that these people should build their own cities. But first, of course, they'll just have to build their own websites, servers, datacentres, ISPs, and nations.

Yeah! I’m proposing building systems on top of Reddit and Hacker News (just two examples, any forum really that serves its data as http) to backfill their content and discussion data (comments), and prevent global censorship by mod actions. If you can’t censor The Pirate Bay and SciHub, you’d expect such a system to be equally durable. It’s all JSON blobs, identifies, and endpoints.

These sites are temporary (remember Digg?), so you want to build discussion systems that are durable, prevent censorship, and will outlive their underlying websites they sit on top of. These are not unreasonable amounts of data we’re dealing with, it’s mostly compressible text. I can store 100TB in Backblaze for $500/month, and front it from VMs around the world.

It is unethical to be an outsourced R&D operation for an eventual acquirer, instead of an independent business?
Police sure, and you could argue for conservatives maybe. The others, no.

The far right thinks black people are flatly inferior, and tolerate or encourage violence and oppression against them because of this.

The far left's attitude toward white people is "it's bad that white people are dominant in society because of historical/structural racism", even in cases like affirmative action the clear goal is eventual equality, not that they want white people to end up structurally oppressed instead.

If you can't see the difference in how toxic each of these attitudes are, I'm afraid I can't help you.

But I'd love to see you explain how the left is apparently bigoted against straight people.
You haven't added any reasoning or even anecdotal evidence to the discussion, only that you had a "living nightmare" experience, and then you went on to fantasize about some dystopia and why our only option is to pass reforms.

The police aren't following the laws now. Why would you think that adding laws would make them follow the existing ones? Police reform isn't the only tool we have available, and it feels very silly to hear people continue pounding the reform drum in 2020.

As a straight white dude from the rural United States who regularly hangs out in extremely far-left circles in very far-left places... you're out of your mind.

I've never once heard a 'leftist' advocate for the murder of men, whites, straight people, conservatives, or rural dwellers (although, to be fair, occasionally the police). However, growing up and still when I visit home, I regularly hear how black people, queer people, and just liberals in general, aren't worthy of being left alive. These sides are not equivalent, no matter how desperately you want them to be.

Also, my induction into these liberal circles went so far as "you want people to be treated equally? cool.". I didn't have to hand in my cis-white-man card and tattoo an anarchy symbol. In fact, we regularly talk about all sorts of controversial subjects. My friends often enjoy hearing what it was like to grow up in the world of pocket knives and bar fights. I take my communist friends out to shoot guns. Ask me how many of my rural friends have ever asked to experience life among the queers?

Thank you for the link, but I'm not sure this solves the problem. I mean, what if Abbie makes complex numbers, so she provides a metamethod to work with the builtin number type. Then Bobby wants to build on Abbie's work and add matrices. Lets say Abbie's complex type is on the left, but her metamethod doesn't know anything about matrices... Bobby is willing to support complex numbers multiplied with matrices, but the matrix metamethod never gets called:

z = complex(1, 2)
A = ident(3, 3)
-- Won't this next line call the wrong metamethod?
X = z*A

Indeed. Back when 300 and 1200 bps connections were a thing, Ctrl-O (flush) was a vital special character. You can actually see "flush = ^O" if you run "stty -a" on Linux. However it's not part of Posix, and AFAIK has never been implemented on Linux. This sucks if you've gone through the trouble of hooking up a fun retro terminal or teletype to your machine.

This is a misdirection. Yes there are a very small minority of people who do call for this but it is what I'm talk about is simple opposition to others political beliefs. If I say that there are only two sexes and you cannot change your sex, I would be banned from many of the most popular subreddits. This is not advocating for the genocide of trans people. It's a scientific and political position.

Doesn't make it okay.
Actually they do. Microsoft maintains a well-defined standard and certification tests that define whether a machine is Windows compatible. The current one is the Windows HLK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Hardware_Lab_Kit. FOSS operating systems simply ride on the coattails of that.
First, syntect can use both onig (an adaptation of Ruby regex, same as Sublime) and fancy-regex. The latter is yet another xi-instigated, and was motivated by trying to do a better job at this.

Second, the design of fancy-regex is precisely to delegate to the regex crate when features like lookahead aren't needed. I had high hopes for the performance, but it turned out to be lackluster, a highly tuned backtracking engine beats it in most cases. And much of the problem is indeed that RE2-style approaches are a lot faster when captures aren't required. And, by nature, Sublime-style syntax definitions rely extremely heavily on captures. A bit of discussion (including comments from burntsushi) here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5zit0e/regex_captures...

Third, the question of whether "regular languages" would support faster parsing is somewhat academic, though perhaps you could build something. Though the languages being parsed often have some regular features, as a rule there are exceptions. Markdown is an extreme example, and cannot be parsed well with either regular languages or Perl-style regexes, though that hasn't stopped people from trying.

This post is being downvoted but it's a well known feature of HN that heated discussion are immediately flagged and they disappear very quickly

If a platform wants people to engage but don't want people to be passionate about their beliefs, it is not a discussion platform, it's a walled garden for a certain type of opinions.

Does it make discussions better? probably, if you already agree with the rules or can (or want) to follow them.

What if you can't?

What if a topic is divisive because on HN people refuse to acknowledge that the general view on HN is simply wrong?

Nobody will ever know.

Imagine a person going to a vegan restaurant asking for a steak. How long will it take to get kicked out?

That's a feature, if you are vegan, but it's not desirable for every restaurant, especially if they want (or like) to serve a broad range of customers.

Of course HN can say that this is exactly what they want, but what about the discussion about "is what they want right?"

I'm talking about HN because one of the post mentioned it like a good example of a free and open platform, but a platform that bans users for talking about politics is not really a good example of good moderation.

Moderation should happen on the receiving side, when it happens on the publisher's side it's called editing.

Any news outlets has editorial boards, there's nothing wrong about it, but it should be clear that the opinions expressed on an editorialised platform are not free.

Decentralisation has, among the many downsides, the advantage of being controlled by the party who receive the content, not the one who generates it.
Until only a few years ago, when you were ready to submit your NDA (new drug application — afterballnthe trials were concluded) you literally sent trucks full of paper to the Agency. There were companies that specialized in making that happen properly — you didn’t just hire a trucking company; a lot of coordination was required.

I (well, my company but my name was signed on the documents and I did a lot of work) filed one of the very last paper INDs (beginning of the process before you even do Phase I). Honestly it was cheaper and simpler than purchasing one of the special packages needed to do an electronic filing.
Of course, all investments these days are a form of money laundering. Most funding is derived from loan credit which has been moved around a network of companies.
The companies on the front line keep funneling the credit to big corporations and then eventually declare bankruptcy, then new companies spawn up to take their place. It's a systematized global money laundering scheme which extends all the way to the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States.

This game involves separating credit from its underlying debt obligation, collecting the credit and then letting another limited liability corporate entity take the fall for not being able to meet the debt obligation. This is basically what Carl Icahn did with Hertz - He made Hertz take huge loans from banks, then Hertz awarded one of Carl's other companies a huge multi-million dollar contract using that loan money, then Hertz declared bankrupcy. Carl gets to keep the money he received from that big contract. Carl gets the credit, Hertz takes the fall. Carl took no risks and added no value.

When you also consider that those initial loans are printed out of thin air by banks, it becomes clear that our economy is founded on legitimized fraud.

We have a system which rewards fraudsters at the expense of honest people.

What is the difference between right and wrong when the law itself encourages wrongdoing? Nobody seems to knows what is the difference between right and wrong anymore. If the law said it was OK to kill people, we would all start killing each other the next day. That's how superficial our morals have become.
I think it's a knee jerk to the notion that the government can "require" any such thing from the citizens. Private companies can require this on their premises, but I can just spend my money elsewhere then. Governments are different in that regard. Governments have also blown their feet off by only selectively applying their enforcement of the ban on congregations.

I do wear a mask when I go to the grocery store - I'm not an idiot. About 90% of people in the store also wear face coverings, even though they are not required. Our area is not in any way a hotspot, but I know I have a comorbidity (high blood pressure which I manage with ACE inhibitors), so I'm being extra cautious.

But I will take my money elsewhere if an establishment thinks it can "require" me to wear a mask, because unlike with the government, I don't have to be subject to their bullshit. So I haven't been to Costco or Home Depot in a while now, and haven't renewed my membership at Costco.
Good luck! We do need something more robust than individual company-owned websites. My optimistic side hopes that when we get good enough protocols for this sort of thing entrenched, things will stay good.

That's an argument about why financial status signalling is ineffective for true friendship and true happiness.

Not about whether financial status signalling happens or not.

Besides, many people don't care for "true friendship and true happiness" (or get that from other sources). They do their financial status signalling still, to advance themselves, have others kiss their ass, get women, and feel good by flaunting their money...

Anecdotal evidence: Flushing, Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights are 3 densely populated working-class immigrant neighborhoods in Queens, NYC. In my personal observation, in Flushing (which has a large Chinese population) average people on the street and in grocery stores started wearing masks since February. In Elmhurst and Jackson Heights (large Latin American and South Asian populations) there were no masks in sight until maybe April.

The rate of Covid infection in Elmhurst and Jackson Heights is ~50% higher than in Flushing.
That's the nature of discussion when there is someone who controls the discussion.

If I'm having a discussion with people in real life I decide what I accept or not, there's no third party that decides for me what is right.

Decentralisation is exactly about that: it empowers you and not someone else to decide what you like to read or not.

Exactly what that trend suggests, most likely. Nigeria has 245k (!!) tuberculosis deaths a year, so it's entirely plausible IMO that they could fail to notice an uncontrolled epidemic of a different pneumonia-causing disease.
This. The convenience of everything in a single file is underrated. You can do all the modern best practice like splitting into more functions, making functions small, and I wouldn't mind if they are all in the same file.

> By another proxy, this means Aether avoids the issue of having a ‘middle management’ (...) so no one can control what you see.

This right here is the main thing that will never let any fully-decentralized system become mainstream. Two problems:

- Most people do want "middle-management". They don't want to deal with security risks, technical issues, understanding how the protocol works just to be able to share memes and score points with their social peers. All they want is to open their browser, see what their friends/peers are posting and be done with it.

- This trade-off between federated systems/giving up control does not exist. A federated system can degenerate into a fully-distributed graph. Those that want to keep full control over their system can easily do with a federated system: they just run their own instances.

Decentralized systems for social networks fail the Zawinski test and do not provide one single use-case that can not be done with a federated alternative. I fail to see any benefit of pushing it except for buzzword investors.
