I also bet the Chinese version of TikTok, if it is even allowed in their country, has a completely different content moderation system. They are more than likely promoting degeneracy in our country while promoting their own ideals at home.
A subreddit that keeps track of banned subreddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/reclassified/
They migrated a long time ago, and the sub itself was all but abandoned. Reddit's ban today is the equivalent of them saying "You can't quit, you're fired!". It would be hilarious if it wasn't so damn predictable and depressing.
StackOverflow Clone
Created a clone of stackoverflow on a MERN stack and recently I have documented it as well.
Will appreciate if you could take a look at it
Right, so the web was a wonderful place when IE6 was the only browser anyone developed for, and for the short period of time when Chrome was the only browser anyone developed for. This definitely didn't affect anyone's ability to choose a browser which met their needs, and definitely didn't result in half-baked and overly complex specifications being forced through the standards process by the only browser vendor with any power.

If Google got their way, we'd be shipping modified LLVM bitcode to clients ("PNacl"), and every browser would be shipping some random fork of LLVM stuck in the past forever. If Microsoft got their way, GMail would be an ActiveX plugin.

Gecko has massive improvements over Webkit/Blink, btw - WebRender is huge.
It’s server admins’ responsibility, so if it’s run by individuals the admin bans when he has time, if it’s run by a company then it’s done at company expense, and if moderation standards of two instances conflict then either operator takes it as offense and blacklist the other one.

My understanding of Mastodon federation is that the Europe/American instances generally play along, some alt-rights oriented are cut off, and then there is group of predominantly Japanese instances running incompatible legal ideology on completely incompatible language so European admins generally reject those as horrible dark corners of internet(?)
You would think that mask requirement is far less exploitable but I hear from libertarians that the government is not allowed to do so (granted, this is state government we're talking about).

This conversation we're having is a little moot, however. The US has already banned online communities advertising sex work, despite them being a great resource for workers looking to better filter their clientele.
Not a hill I'm wanting to die on. You win.

Biggest difference is motives, as long as we are making the assumption you mean private corporations that aren’t proxies for their respective government(s)

A private company will optimize profit, all things being equal. Sometimes this means it’s product/platform can be used to disseminate possibly dangerous information, but it also can be regulated in response.

Another government? Not so easy

Only way to really assert influence is through a much more narrow and limited scope like diplomacy, economic sanction, war, or otherwise influence the state/affairs of the country through target regulations like the ones mentioned in the article
That's unfortunate, because I really liked the cynicism around consumerism, it made me question a lot of the purchases I was making.
That could indeed be an idea, if you can assume the SW can be rebuilt/linked against API compatible libs, and you rely on the API existing far into the future. The automatic CLI tool scouring option would allow you to hedge your bets over several implementations because of looser coupling.
Is email controlled by Google and Yahoo?
It's apparently short for "Quick Bites" so I guess it would sound the way no one would expect it to -- "Koo eh bye"
What I meant was that white nationalists feeling safe in a space (particularly them feeling safe expressing white nationalist views) is a decent heuristic for that space being poorly moderated or of poor quality overall. At the very least I’m not interested in the content of that space and I find white nationalists repugnant.
Actually I'm looking forward to it, it would increase pressure to care about privacy or at very least help competition to grow.
Sounds like it'll be a combination of pulling them from the app stores in India and ISPs blocking connections to the relevant server IPs.
>The community gets to decide what’s popular

This is false. The piece of the machine that really decides is reddit's algorithm and how people consume content. It also doesn't take into account how communities can drastically change in an instant if a post gets brigaded. Suddenly it's not "your community" that's voting and deciding.

What happens is the most easily digestible content that appeals to the most people gets upvoted the most. Saying "the community decides" is at best naive.
The EU can't even keep itself together. Think about that for a second.
Its kinda like top down management of anything doesn't work and democratic and inclusive practices are better.
Possibly not just the "stuff" but also the containers used for cooking. When I was working overseas, I saw lots of "creamy" foods being made in these really long copper (?) pots and couldn't help but wonder how on Earth they clean them afterwards. From how they were being used, the chosen shape was pretty obvious and pretty clever, but cleaning them must have taken away from at least some of the convenience.
>However, in my years of being here, I had never read this piece before, and I frequently feel pretty alone as a woman when there are comments that make me uncomfortable. It is just nice to know that there are other women in the space who share my experience, and I wish there was something like a women HNers social group or something, I guess.

i would like to point out that there are some men that are made uncomfortable by comments that echo masculinity here as well and criticisms from such men never get much traction either. so it'd be nice if there were space (a space or just space) on HN for someone that wishes question the culture and all of the "high-minded" structure. r/twox is a good model - predominantly patronized by women but welcoming of good faith discussion from other genders as well.
So, the golden rule?
Fulcro in the CLJS world solved this by generating the graph query based on what's currently in the component tree, if you take react components out of your view your query automatically adjusts to remove the components requirements from the graph call

I imagine most js frameworks are greedy because it's extra work to be lean here
Both Solr and ElasticSearch use Lucene as their search engine. Solr and ElasticSearch are basically server components wrapped around the Lucene library. With a fair bit of special sauce and extra features. Including, well, elasticity.
That's the tradeoff for sure. Relationship with parents aside, "I live with my parents" is not a good look in the dating scene for anyone past university age.
I liked /r/ConsumeProduct, it was funny to see them critics Reddit blattant consumerism and pornography.
This is difficult because there are different definitions of 'right' as well as different environments.

They can be successful at the ballot box nationally but still be persecuted.

Remember that Brendan Eich was forced out of Mozilla for his views.

To be a professor in University of California one has to pass a political litmus test.

So yea I do think there is persecution.
> People don't understand the meaning of the word "militant" then

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/militant

1. Fighting or warring.

2. Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.

It seems to apply quite well to some of those SJW types who caused people to quit or get fired, and physically threatened them at the same time (e.g. see Bret Weinstein).
I went through a similar process - I was sure webapps would get better and were the future and I switched a lot of my digital life to be on web first platforms.

In the past year or so I’ve become a bit disillusioned and have switched back to mostly native apps for things from email to music. I have fiber internet but even then load/buffer times on my native apps are non existent. The ui-s are way snappier and I am happy with the switch.

If webapps do make a comeback I agree - they will have to be quite different.
Have you used reddit at all within the past 10 years? Yeah, there's some smaller subreddits that have right-wing views, but every frontpage sub leans heavily left.

For example, the most common political debate right now isn't Biden vs. Trump, it's whether or not Biden is left-wing enough to deserve a vote.
Yes. Especially in South America.

However, US is not about expansionism.

Its about trade and control. It wants markets, trade and resources.

China is about expansionism and lacks moral or ethical compass.
> The reality is that Chinese firms and government operates together intimately

No, I get this, but here's the thing: YouTube and, more specifically, it's advertisers do everything that you're accusing China of. There are material consequences if YouTube doesn't keep in line. What this means is that a status quo that pleases advertisers will be maintained.

It's every bit propaganda as dropping leaflets, but you can't point out a boogeyman pulling the strings.
Reddit is not a US government entity, so the US constitutional right to free speech is generally not applicable to discussions of Reddit.

The exception is the case where a US government entity controls an account that is a mod of a subreddit, in which case they would be subject to the First Amendment when performing mod duties such as deleting user comments or banning users. This specific case would burden only that user and would not place any additional burden upon the non-government mods or upon Reddit itself or its admins.
Wrong question. Why did anyone think it would succeed? There was zero organic demand for this and it just seemed like some ill-conceived VC backed company that was trying to be the next TikTok. How did it crash so fast? Because it tried to solve something that no one cared about and didn't offer any real meaningful value--their launched 'shows' were garbage quality. Also, Meg Whitman... she ran Ebay and HP into the ground. Why pick her to lead a startup or all people? This was doomed from inception.
"Ha ha only serious."
The over fatality rate is actually lower since that listed rate only applies to symptomatic patients. Given their estimate for Asymptomatic 35% you arrive at 0.26%.
The problem with T_D was that it mainly functioned as an echo chamber. And I don't mean that as a liberal person just disagreeing with their politics - they'd literally ban and delete _anything_ even slightly critical of Trump.

When you cross that point, it just becomes another channel for propaganda. No different than what you'd see in actual dictatorships.

But that kind of culture / behavior is not unique to T_D, every time someone posted anything remotely critical of Bernie on /politics, they'd get downvoted at the speed of light. Same with pro-Biden threads before Sanders threw in the towel.

But T_D is probably the worst offender. It just functions as pro-Trump worship, and "owning the libs" memes. Everything else will get you banned.
Though if you apply your argument with rigor and reciprocity was in play, more countries should ban american social media which censors geopolitical rivals

Just so we're on the same page, "Bluetooth X" was discontinued at 3.0 -- it's now named "Classic Bluetooth."

Bluetooth 4.0 (4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1) are almost exclusively the artist formerly known as Bluetooth LE. LE is a totally different standard than classic Bluetooth, and was developed by Nokia ("Wibree") and dropped on the desk of the SIG with a big thud. Nokia told the SIG this was Bluetooth now, and they adopted it as "LE" and it forms the core of all version of Bluetooth 4.0 and later.

4.0 and later specs include "LE", "Classic" and "High-Speed". It's very unlikely developers are building for Classic mode anymore, that protocol is an utter nightmare. I don't know anyone building High-Speed devices.

I'd be surprised if a new keyboard opted for anything other than LE. That's just the kind of embedded system it was designed for.

That's easy to say when you aren't liable for any damages caused by said speech.
What do you think the local market needs right now?

Can you give some example?
I am not sure when and how this ban will take into effect because right now it is still available for download in playstore. So it seems to be more of a strategic move in response to the border issues.
I think this is a good move. With China banning apps from other countries, its right for India to do. We should be doing the same thing in the US
Or McKay's Used Books in the east.

Not as good as the Half Price Books on North Lamar in Austin, but nothing much is.
I mean websites / twitter accounts that put out actual fake news as a matter of process.

I wasn't thinking of any of the major media outlets when I noted that.
Actually, I agree. I did use some additional liquid once and was surprised at how amazingly clean everything was after. But the load took hours. So we just kept up the manual ritual.
Self-Decoding Messages Sent to Alien Civilizations
Most companies are destined to fail. If you invest $1.75 billion logically, you invest $1m in 10 companies, then after a year take the best-performing of those and invest another $5m in each, take the next three and invest $1m more to give them another year, and let the bottom three fail. A year later you see if any of the middle three have done well, put $5m into those, and $50m into the top performers of the A-list batch. In doing so you will find yourself investing more money in the stronger-performing companies and overall you are unlikely to lose massive amounts of money (you will only be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in companies that are already very successful, so even if they don't achieve what you wanted them to, you will at least be able to recover some of your investment).

Or, you can just go and bet $1.75b on rolling a six and sit there scratching your head when it doesn't work out.
You might think so, but I would point to the fact that the US democracy is being attacked via social means from Russia, and possibly other governments. Then you have municipal governments having their networks locked down by ransomware from foreign agents. Not to forget how many acts of espionage take place through our internet. Might not be a bad idea to limit the amount of foreign access to local data.

My examples are not apps, but a threat is a thread.
Weird. If anything I'd be more prone to believe that The_Donald was some kind of false-flag operation used to make trump supporters look bad. I'm really surprised to see someone say that it made trump support look normal.
A good friend was recruited by Meg in Quibi's early days (under 20 employees). Her report to me: 0 customer validation, experimentation, research, etc. She ran for the hills and predicted this outcome for years. They had a giant vision from the execs and set out to build it with huge piles of cash. Never stopped to see if consumers actually wanted it along the way. If people's jobs weren't at stake, I would say there is some kind of dark humor here. As a startup, they built the exact type of company startups are great at disrupting.
is it hateful to be skeptical of gender?

I guess this is the risk of lurking the front page nowadays; Glancing at a subreddit's memes and never reading their comments apparently put me in the antisemtic camp.

AU ISP Ordered to Hand over Pirates’ Details After Cracked Software Phoned Home
what was chapo accused of? The original quarantine was due to the sub posting about John Brown (killer of slave holders). Reddit didn't like that. Slave holders are people too.

When I first started running outdoors for exercise, I couldn't run a mile. I was in really poor physical condition. 5 days a week, I'd go outside and do whatever I could, stopping as my heart rate demanded. I was really bad at running. My form was poor. I was overweight. Yet, I persisted. I learned how to celebrate small victories. Successes slowly compounded. I persevered. I kept training and improving. A few years passed and I successfully finished my first marathon. I was slow as molasses and stopped a lot after mile 20. I was one of the heavier finishers that day, too. I also raised 3 grand for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in the process (Team in Training). My colleagues were shocked to find out what I did, and it inspired at least one to sign up and give it a try. What I learned about myself from running is that I had the capacity to go far beyond limits that my mind sets for me. The more familiar I became with physical and mental pain, the more I learned how to manage the urge to quit -- stopping before injury most of the time. I've experienced this process of development in other aspects of my life and career. It never feels easier to do something that I'm not good at, but I know how to deal with a strong urge to quit and do something else.

For a long while, I haven't improved as a runner, running only 3-4 miles a session. Instead, I keep my perseverance reserve for my work, where I've spent years doing work that has been very outside of my comfort zone, compounding one small success at a time. I have been far from the best at what I've done, but boy do I have a long line of accomplishments that I am proud of.

If you want to grow as a person, try moving outside of your circle of competence and grow the circle. It's not about achieving more than everyone else. It's about doing what your former self wouldn't. Do it enough times and you may one day find that moving beyond your comfort zone is a strength.
same situation but I'm older. moved out of SF and I'm planning on going back near the end of the year. dating is awful but the quality of the rest of my life has been a significant increase from sitting in a 1 bedroom apartment alone for 3+ months with limited social options
I did a lot of research before I bought mine, and this was one of my concerns.

In my opinion, the Jarvis is the best one (for its price range) and I've been thrilled with it.
That's a pretty weird thing to have happen. How many subs could you possibly been following?

Not that many subs get banned...
That's fine. But why pay Manhattan or SF rents if there's no social life (or, it's tainted at best).
I personally pay for several news sources, including the NYT. I just want a single interface that collects articles across my selected publishers in one location.

RSS used to be the answer; I've paid for Newsblur ever since Google Reader went away. But many publishers have stopped offering RSS as well. Reuters recently quit updating theirs:

As a user, I don't benefit from going to a publisher's siloed app or homepage.
Yes. That's a given.

Republicans use "Democrat" as a swear word. Democrats more commonly resort to epithets to describe their opponents.

Relevant Google autocomplete for "the only good ...":

The only good pig is a dead pig

The only good fascist is a very dead fascist

Nothing there referring to liberals/progressives/Democrats.

I also gave it "the only good c..." to see if it would give up "conservative" and it gave "christian" instead, so there's that.
Yeah, when I saw my neece on TikTok I was feeling really bad.

Most people don't see it, but I hate it to realize that she's being slowly influenced by hidden propaganda :(
The problem is the advertisers who have your proverbial nuts in their hands.

If you could live without advertisers then maybe it would work.
You're about free trade with no security guarantees? It doesn't work, trade blocks align where security guarantees are the best. Say goodbye to cheap labour, products, natural ressources and interest in the American dollar.

Complaining about US NATO spending when all the money goes to American defense contractors and the military budget keeps on rising is extremely peculiar. Europe benefiting from America subsidizing it's Red states is a positive externality.

Only Trump disputes Russian bounties, allies have been briefed as well and confirmed the intelligence.

You pivot from "paramilitary force" to admitting Russia "responded". Euromaidan wasn't a coup and the only sources I find are dubious Kremlin talking points disguised as "evidence". Though once again, you don't want the US in Afghanistan but Russia can invade Ukraine.

Quite the opposite. China (the country, not China the economy) is investing billions into developing tech companies to surveil their citizens. Those apps are all centrally controlled by the Chinese government. They can freely suppress discussions without you ever knowing. Hell, they don't even need to censor it but only need to make it less discoverable.

As soon as those apps reach the western hemisphere (or just anything outside China) and become dominant communication mediums, the Chinese government will be able to dictate opinion in the West.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Your logic is circular.
Spontaneous protests around Floyd's killing are different from the anti CAA protestors. All the protest leaders (students) are in jail and accused of terrorism. Dissent is suppressed. How can the two societies be similar?
A bigger threat to all the social platforms is that advertisers seem to be pausing the ad spend. I wonder how that impacts decisions like these bans.
