This is how you know you have a really weak justification for your beliefs, when you argue against things that have never been said in order to tell yourself yourself that you hold the moral upper hand in an argument. I never insinuated anything like the argument you are countering.

Experience has taught me that people who enter into an argument with disingenuous red herrings such as this one are not interested in a good faith discussion, but I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

My argument isn’t that gassing Jews and conservatism are inherently the same thing, that’s a completely preposterous interpretation of my previous comment. My argument is that fear of losing status is at the core of all of these ideologies, and nowhere is that more explicit than conservatism.
I really don't follow. The police doing something that the population doesn't support, doesn't mean the population supports the police actions. Not to mention "use of free speech" in this context is a big disingenuous. Are the police attacking people who are speaking their mind? Protesting and being asked to clear an area? Rioting? Peacefully protesting? Etc.

Free speech is extremely important in the United States, especially amongst sensible, regular everyday people. There are some elements on the far left who have been turning against free speech, but thankfully they are fringe groups that are largely ignored (Antifa/BLM Marxists, etc.)

There are many forces out there that are actively trying to diminish the global public's respect for democracy.

It involves slowly eroding people's respect for the core principles we always associated with democracy...

The First Amendment? We don't need that since Hate speech shouldn't be protected - and there's the Paradox of Tolerance!

Second Amendment? We don't need that - no population could ever hope to topple the military anyway!

Judicial process? Who needs a court, when I can organize a mob to get stuff done? Besides, the courts are hopelessly corrupt rapists!

Executive branch? The police are racist belligerents who should be defunded and removed, and the Military has a long history of war crimes!

Legislative Branch? Oh, that decrepit thing? Votes aren't proportionate so the small states have all the power - controlled by racists. We need a revolution!

US History? It's all based on genocide and slavery. That's all we should teach.

Statues / monuments? We need to tear it all down. They were all racist slave owners.

When you destroy everything people believe in - it's a lot easier to get them to embrace something more extremist.

Given I'm British, that'd make me a part of the majority actually. And in the USA that anti-globalism candidate won the last election, so, I guess I'd be in the majority there too (barely).

Obviously you're entitled to your view on the EU, but your attitude is why EU supporters lost in the UK and would lose in other countries in the unlikely event their political systems would ever give them a true choice on the matter. You cannot handle genuine, well reasoned, intelligent and sophisticated criticism of the EU so simply try to suppress it.

That mistake is how the EU's supporters in the UK got their asses kicked, despite having way more resources and the full support of the entire global establishment on their side. They thought all "intelligent, sophisticated" people agreed with them ... because they'd shouted down or suppressed everyone who disagreed. They were then shocked to discover that their arguments were deemed incredibly weak by the large section of the population that hadn't already made up their minds.

That's what happens when you deplatform those you disagree with. They don't go away. They keep refining their arguments where you can't see it, and then if one day you go head to head with them - you lose.

I would add that Patreon is not built for creators from India. The most important thing for a creator like me is that money gets directly transferred to my bank account; not my credit card or my paypal account. It's a psychological thing. And I think it is a significant thing because that is our middle class culture. Here a significant portion of the population don't spend money on their credit cards like people in other countries do.

The only two options on patreon are a credit card and paypal. The latter is also not that much in vogue.

These are just my thoughts.

>I would like to hear what people are actually suggesting as an alternative to enable these stores to stay without continually suffering so much shrink as to make it hard to make payroll.

Start by getting everyone into stable housing that they won't be thrown out of at gunpoint for suffering economic hardship, addiction, or mental illness of any variety. Get the same people enough food to feed everyone in their household no questions asked. Build up transportation so people don't need to walk three miles, take four buses, two trains, and a subway over three hours to get to their four hour long minimum wage shift. Provide all necessary health and dental for all citizens at $0 cost at the order of a doctor by nationalizing the healthcare industry as is and excising the profit motives.

Pursue white collar criminals with funding and ferocity equal to the damages.

Create new laws that treat financial criminals the same way the justice system has treated black people: Mandatory minimums, ankle monitors for years, random probation officer visits at 3am, and urinalysis, barred from all positions of authority, security clearance, and working with the vulnerable, and importantly, three strike laws leading to life without parole in supermax.

I'm not talking about the guy committing mail fraud with stolen $100 checks. But rather the people stealing millions and billions. They don't deserve to live outside a prison. These criminals create vicious cycles in the communities the victimize which compound the damages, stunting growth, and ruining countless lives.

Retask the bulk of the atf and dea with being the ops arm of the irs financial crimes unit.

By focusing the small details like victimized staff at dollar stores we're ignoring the bigger picture and doing a disservice to the people trapped in these situation through little or no fault of their own.

I hadn't been exposed to Peterson's prose before. As the man himself says:

> Only an individual accustomed to dining on very thin gruel or simply spoiled meat would find any nourishment in statements with such content and of that quality.

Granted, he thus describes the disclaimer by an institution of one of its tenurees' dismissal of efforts toward greater diversity of representation. That would be a reasonable thing for Peterson to complain about, if the sex-blind, colorblind meritocracy in which he so fervently believes could be shown in fact to exist.

As it is, Peterson neatly both describes and exemplifies the quality of his own written effort, which combines the worst qualities of purple prose and library paste. It's honestly a shame. Bad ideas expressed well can at least be interesting; even good ideas, expressed this poorly, would still fail to sustain the reader's attention.
> Are you saying Substack users pay per email sent to their paying subscribers?

No, I was referring to the whole Marriott thing. If you book a Marriott hotel with an aggregator (like Kayak), Marriott has to pay for that booking. If you do it the next week again, Marriott has to pay again.

Substack fees work the same, you pay a fee to Substack whenever a person renews (transaction).

So to make the loop back, no the Kayak example works the same way as Substack does. It just happens to be the case, that customer retention is higher with Substack (or lower-cost transactions in general)
Great read! The problems that you point out with social networks served as the motivation for my co-founder and I to create Readup [1]. We rank articles based on complete reads which slows down the overall pace considerably and cuts out a lot of noise since users cannot post or comment on articles they haven't really read.

I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts on our proposed business model since it's based on compensating writers when Readup users read their articles to completion. In short, users pay $10/mo to use Readup, we keep $5 and divide the other $5 among the writers whose articles the user has read to completion during that month.

You keep your own stack and there's nothing you have to do other than verify a Readup account with us so we know who you are and collect any money earned. Readup users can read your articles using our browser extensions or mobile apps (I just did! [2]). You can view the full pitch [3] on YouTube.

Better to compare China to Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, which all started at a similar position (and have similar cultures), but now those others all have way higher GDP per capita than China.

> I don’t want any websites sending me any notifications ever.

That’s fine for you but some of us who are in niche communities or have weird applications don’t want to wait for a VC to fund the development of a native app.

Right now I can’t get notifications from IRC at all which pushes me and everyone else to centralized chat services. This has distorted the evolution of the internet and I would argue has contributed heavily to the “fake news” problem.

> It seems to me like you believe everyone is the same as you

You’re projecting. We want a feature that the user can disable, not ever being able to use this at all means everyone has to want the same things you do.

Bit of a Hyperapp fanboy here, so bare with me.

First, I think Hyperapp can make both small and big applications, opposed to u/PufPufPuf's opinion. A lot of people have this opinion because they are more familiar with v1's wired-in actions, which can become quite unruly. In the latest version, actions are decoupled, and can be organized/extracted however you see fit.

I've made a handful of applications in both v1 and the current released Hyperapp, and they work very well. If you want to see the latest Hyperapp in action, you can check these out:

- A timer for mob programming: https://github.com/mrozbarry/mobtime

- A canvas game, using Hyperapp for dom/state: https://github.com/mrozbarry/smash

- A router for Hyperapp: https://github.com/mrozbarry/hyperapp-router

I have a handful of older youtube videos regarding v1, you can check them out here:

- Intro to Hyperapp (v1): https://youtu.be/uWIyjI8nkz0

- Hyperapp (v1) forms and localstorage: https://youtu.be/qpt6aaMxm1E

- Unit testing hyperapps (v1): https://youtu.be/5wvPUj--HaA

Note, they are outdated, but there isn't much on youtube about Hyperapp in general.

One thing to keep in mind is the naming. A lot of people talk about "Hyperapp" as the first version, and "v2" as the current version, but this is wrong. It's more like "v1" (legacy) and "Hyperapp" (current). It gets confusing, because not everyone is on the same page with that, but this the the naming Jorge (primary author/creator of Hyperapp) has mentioned several times.

I'll try to rephrase my first two questions to address your semantic concerns:

1. When has a silencing action similar to the banning of /r/The_Donald been effective in reducing bigotry and/or fascism?

2. Your criticism of free speech is that it allows people to post subtly racist memes and dog whistles, but you haven't presented an alternative. How do you plan to deal with subtle racism and dog whistles?

I'm putting in an effort to use terminology that's amenable to you, so please put in an effort to understand my questions and answer them, rather than objecting to semantics.

> > 3. How do populations become and stay primed against open and earnest fascism/antisemitism/racism/etc....

> Education coupled with regular refreshers/responses as needed. If you want to teach kids anti-Nazism, it's not like you have to first invite an open and earnest Nazi to school to lecture the kids in class about how the Jews are subhuman and corrupt everything, etc. The anti-Nazi lesson can be taught directly.

Let's be clear: no one is proposing we bring earnest and open Nazis into schools. We're both on the same side: we both want to stop Nazis. So let's keep this on topic and avoid straw man arguments.

The anti-Nazi lesson can be taught directly, but in that teaching, you have to teach people the Nazi ideology, otherwise they don't know what they're actually against. And you need to keep that up-to-date, otherwise people are defended against what Nazis were saying 10 years ago. Nazism changes and adapts and we have to adapt to fight it. And if we're constantly paying attention to and responding to what Nazis are saying now, that starts to look suspiciously like just having an uncensored conversation.

If we don't do this, we run the risk of creating a generation of anti-fascists who can't recognize fascism if it doesn't have a swastika on it. This is already a problem: check out Dianne Feinstein, for example.
I mean it gives credit to the theory that webapps (PWAs in particular) are gaining tractions and big companies are paying attention to it because people are actually using it, which means Apple is afraid it might loose it's stranglehold on the app economy.
Selective ignorance is a dangerous strategy... Far better to evaluate the facts as fully as possible and find the actual reasons for and against. However a straightforward argument for eugenics is probably not very accurate or broad in its consideration. In that sense I guess it could be inaccurate or true but incomplete and/or misleading on its own.
> It wouldn't be the most maintainable stack, but the barrier to entry is pretty minimal, and that makes it worthwhile.

I still don't know whether that's really true.

On one side, there's the observation I've made with low-code (having been at an org and bailing right around the time they started going down that road;) When I was at the 'free training' (just a sales pitch) most of the people there were from other medium to large size companies, a couple of those companies multinational.

B/c the sales pitch I've seen isn't to startups; it's to bigger orgs. It was actually pretty disturbing to listen to the sales rep explain as developers would leave through attrition/disgust at the product they could be replaced by 'non coders.' No, it wasn't exactly said like that but the sentiment was understood by all the developers (not managers) in the room.

Okay, so lets say that they clean up their sales act (lol) and actually start to go towards smaller business.

Those business are still going to wind up with a product that may or may not be maintainable long term, but are now guaranteed to be paying yearly licensing costs.

No thx.

Furthermore it's a white label solution which means you aren't on some platform like medium. People pay for removing branding on platforms these day.

Look, I've had good experience with SCRUM team. Later I've been searching for work, "SCRUM", interesting, interview, what? PM? Another place, PM? Yet another... I have not found. They would not tell that it is not SCRUM before interview. And oh, they failed so miserably, I knew how it works but couldn't do anything. It is regress.

So often it is PM who destroys project. I've seen good PMs. Two. Great guys. Great managers protects project from upper management and helps to resolve teams disputes. Others... They are like third wheel - developers like to build, business knows what to build, managers - exercise control.

My sample exploit uploads some of your private data (your Top Sites, for example) to a server that I control, because that's an easy thing to do when I can run any JavaScript I want. Note that I'm not really collecting any data, as http://lapcatsoftware.com/test/ is a dead link. I used http so that you can see the private data being sent in a packet trace.

Please don't do this when reproducing exploits. Yes, it's just source code, and yes, the url is dead. But it's still source code that, when compiled, will grab your real safari data and attempt to upload to a url that could be switched on.

There's a difference between repro'ing an exploit and weaponizing an exploit. alert(1) is generally the best thing to aim for, or even alert(some user data) to illustrate the point. Whereas upload(some user data, my server) is a bit too close to the moral equivalent of `rm -rf $HOME/*`: all of these illustrate the point, but rm'ing a homedir is generally not a great thing to have in your repro; ditto for uploading real user data.

exmaple.com was explicitly reserved for scenarios like this, which would accomplish the same thing safely.

It may seem like a pedantic point, but it was something I was taught as a pentester: don't weaponize exploits; simply reproduce them. So my instincts kicked in, and it's impossible not to mention it. (That said, I don't mean to make a fuss – it's not a big deal in this case.)

Putting a lot of useful features into an enterprise offering is one thing, but restricting the open source version to hobby/test users is another. At least keep a permissive license for the open source version so people can at least choose to keep using a restricted feature set under the current conditions, that's how a lot of dual licensed projects work.

I guess I now understand why MariaDB was created, to prevent exactly this from happening. At least we can fork this one as well if there is enough demand for it.

> Certainly not GDP per capita.

Japan has been almost stagnant for nearly 30 years now, mainly because of demographics (and other reasons, but with such an aging population it's pretty much game over no matter what), but by 1990 Japan has a better GDP per capita than any of the biggest economies in the world at this point, by far (more than 20% over some most western countries). Obviously, when your GDP stay flat for 3 decades, other end up catching up…

> It also has the lowest productivity per hour of the OECD countries.

Productivity is a poor metric, because there is little correlation between time spent working and GDP, so culturally workaholic (Japan) countries ends up with poor results, while hedonistic countries (France) score super well, but that doesn't reflect much.
