Firstly, no, that position isn't 'scientific'. The scientific portion of the equation comes from the separation of gender and sex along with the psychological and sociological expectations of how someone conforms to a given gender role. I see this often that people take a disingenuous stance and then claim it's 'scientific' when its anything but.

Secondly, that argument has a lot of baggage associated with it. Transgender people get banned from the military because they 'cannot change their sex' or 'transgender people lose their jobs because they don't conform'. It's an argument around taking away the rights of a certain group of people and it shouldn't be surprising that people don't want to associate with that.
It would be absurd if they weren't. The party is involved in every big corp. It would be incompetence to not be involved.
> Yes there are a very small minority of people who do call for this

I agree with you. We are talking about how targeted groups will demand moderation to avoid persistent targeted harassment from a comparatively small number of people.

Conservatives are also often targets of hate. There are black, Jewish, gay, and trans conservatives who are also targeted not for the content of their politics, but due to attributes they were born with and cannot change. I can always set aside my politics, but one cannot set aside their race, gender identity or ethnic group.

Since the discussion is the sociological cause, the fact that the group doing the harassing is small, it will nearly always be banned by the larger majority that is targeted.
I live in Seattle and the city is now entirely covered in grafiti suggesting that we should kill police, white people, Trump, etc. They march in the streets every night in Capitol Hill as a show of force, surrounding cars and forcing them out to join the march. The left is on video spending days/weeks literally burning cars/buildings, rioting, looting stories, which everyone already stopped caring about. They're 1984 style trying to rewrite history by destroying statues, deplatforming and censoring any dissenting opinions. The left has clashed with the police and forcefully taken a chunk of my city, an American city, and claimed it as an autonomous zone that America and law and order no longer applies to. It's apparently hate speech for Trump to suggest that we should enforce rule of law and stop the left's violence, but everything the left is doing is perfectly fine, and gets support from mass media and every major tech company.

Now imagine the opposite scenario. Imagine if a bunch of Republicans started literally burning cities to the ground, or taking over a section of an American city, or spray painting that all blacks should die. Imagine if a bunch of Republicans started erasing every Democrat hero from the history books. If a bunch of Republicans decided that law and order no longer mattered. People would be screaming that Nazis had taken over and the military needed to be sent in, and how the country was lost. But the left does it? A-OK.

Approximately no-one on reddit or twitter is saying that straight people shouldn't be allowed marry. Plenty of people on both are saying that I shouldn't be, though. To take just one example.

"People should be marginalised, and made second class citizens, and marginalised people should be kept marginalised" is a pretty common theme on the far right. It is rare on the far left; not that it's non-existent, but there just aren't that many sincere Stalinists or similar left.

What dehumanising content are you seeing from the left? I mean, if it's just "the other side are bad people" stuff, well, everyone does that. The "these classes of people should be socially and politically suppressed" stuff is overwhelmingly from one side, though.
Apologies for being ignorant - what's the context here?
Add some transphobic undertones and you have yourself a summary of the opinions of /r/thelastofus2, opinions which seem to have been formed not from playing the game but instead reading the leaks and/or by watching some Twitch streamer trash the game as they play through it.

And among these general statements, I have yet to see anything specific. What exactly are the plotholes? How exactly it is a mish-mash? How is the narrative garbage? How is it like "The Last Jedi"?
Do you know what happens when people don't want to deal with harassment due to a certain position they hold? It's called self-censorship, and the far right censors people all the same by harassing, berating, demeaning people etc until they leave or censor themselves. That's a common tactic of sites like Voat.

Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
I’ve clenched my teeth for 9-10 years. It either happened from a bike accident hurting my left jaw, wisdom teeth extraction, or stress from starting a business. All three happened pretty near together. It is not malocclusion, dentist ruled that out.

I clench. No longer damaging my teeth as I have a guard. But I still have tight masseters and neck pain.

I would like to eliminate or reduce the habit. Has anyone succeeded in doing so?
Too much over-engineering here.

It is always better to start with simple, dumb and reliable code, with minimal architecture, and then grow organically.

With experience, I tend to write the less smart code possible, I felt in love with the power of brute-forcing everything.

Doesn't explain the entire lack of tool marks, though. Or the lack of embedded shells.

I am curious about the perfectly flat, right-angled interiors of the 50+-ton (always empty!) basalt boxes in Egyptian mausoleums. We have a plausible story about cutting the outsides using copper saw blades with gems embedded in the edge, but no similar one for the insides, particularly the inside corners.

We also need to understand why the tech for working the biggest rocks was lost before the Inka took up building. The late work always uses much smaller rocks, and is relatively crude.
It works because I decide.

There's no intrinsical limitation on the number of participants

Don't you like what a user says?

You can ignore them

Don't you like what some instance does, you can block it.

Any platform that is popular has an editorial board and doesn't want you to say things they don't like.

Simple as that.

Newspaper had no comments sections because it's silly to comment the news, they already decide what to publish and what not.

They already chose who to talk to, there's no point in discussing when you can only comment what someone else wants you to talk about.

Have you seen today on HN a post about exactly 40 years ago, when an Italian civil plane, the Itavia Flight 870, was shot down by a fight between NATO and Libyan fighter jets and 81 innocent people died?

You won't, because it's gonna be flagged as politics.

But you're going to read about every cat fight between über rich silicon valley founders because that's not politics for them, it's what they wanna talk about.

Trolling is a problem for the platform, not for the users.

I don't mind trolls, if I can decide who they are and silence them.

If they do it for me, it's censorship.

Censorship is not bad per se, but it's not done in my name, it's only in the platform's interests.

Do platforms ever ask users what do they think about banning someone?

Of course they don't...
>Can we try to figure out sociologically, why by default unmoderated social forums become far-right oriented?

This did not used to be the case. It's a relatively extremely recent phenomenon, that I would say only really coalesced around 2014-2015.

It used to be that the wild west of the internet was, to the extent that it reinforced anything at all, a boon to liberal and left wing politics and organizing. And a lot of the cultural aspects weren't co-opted the way they currently are. Gamer culture was surely unconsciously sexist, misogynist, but not to the extent that it is now where it's a full-on reactionary identity. Internet atheists didn't used to be misogynist right-wing trolls, but they are now.

Trolling was just trolling, it wasn't organized into mobs or propaganda in the sophisticated way it is now. Anonymity and revealing one's 'true self' didn't channel it into a cultural current of toxicity that is now established and ready to welcome those impulse and stoke them and use them to nudge a person into a right wing trolling infrastructure.

I think it's been weaponized by state actors and by bad actors who figured out how to use the tools, to turn everything into a nuclear wasteland. I don't believe it inherently disposes anyone toward any particular set of politics necessarily, and it didn't used to be the case that it got channeled in this way.

Not SF, but watch "Ivan's Childhood", his first film. I saw it first on New Years Eve in Scotland. Me and my then wife went round to her friends house to pick her up for the usual celebrations. While the girls were getting made-up I started watching the film on the TV - I had never heard of it or Tarkovsky before, and I have no idea why it was on at New Year. They eventually came down and said "let's go" but I refused - "catch you later" - I just had to watch the film. Somewhat later friends mum came in and said "X why aren't you out with Y and Z" - I said "I HAVE to watch this". And I did, and then I went out and got pissed. It's a great film.
I feel like, rather than having no sound at all, the ability to output a PC-speaker-like beep (i.e. turn on/off a fixed-frequency, fixed-amplitude square wave channel) might be nice. No parameters because otherwise you might get distracted trying to trick it into sounding vaguely musical ;)

I’ve also always wanted to see something like this but with emoji for the “graphics.” (Emoji are, after all, the standard graphics resource pack of our era—like DOS box-drawing characters were for the 80s.) Maybe stick them as labels on a grid of buttons, resulting in a similar look to Chip’s Challenge.
The power power/to cost radio of RBMK is still pretty good, as well other aspects (online refueling, isotope production, good scalability - there were plans for RBMK 2400 and RBMK 4800 etc.).

I think both of those examples would provoke a pretty extreme response in most people, but sincere Stalinists just aren't very common, at all. You see a _bit_ of "Stalinism was actually good" stuff on the internet (weirdly, occasionally from the right; some more confused Russian nationalists have a bit of a Stalin fetish), but you'll see a lot more holocaust denial.
The notion of grabbing market share at a loss in order to capture future profits is actually sound.

What matters obviously are the underlying fundamentals behind the strategy, which depend on a lot of things, can change, and are therefore amenable to hustling.

Each case is different.
I'd genuinely be curious as to some statistics about how many users do feel strongly about using an email / generating an email. I get that you feel that way, but to what extent is it a common feeling?
It's because mainstream moderated sites don't censor far-left views, so those people have no incentives to move to unmoderated sites. For example, /r/MoreTankieChapo isn't even quarantined.

There's a lot of problems with your comment but I'll stick with the most egregious/shocking point.

Are you really suggesting that confederate leaders are republican heros? And if-so... are you acknowledging that republicans admire and would like to celebrate treasonous bigots that went to war against the United States so that they could own slaves?

Sounds to me like you're admitting that the platform of the republican party is literally that of racists. So, in that way, I understand why these groups would respond to being oppressed by racists with violence.

These seem like standard things any analytics tracker (including GA) tracks, check out amiunique [1] for a set of things that can be tracked using your favorite secure browser.

Yet, the rest of the content on Tiktok is very low threat. No chat, no personal health forums, no private photos. It’s mostly a consumption platform with very little input from the users besides those listed in the linked thread (I don’t find that data particularly scary vs what we’ve accepted as normal in the internet).

What’s scary about tiktok is how addictive it is and how it is very much engineered and optimized to be so. Some in the new world are fine with this, I am not.

I agree. One thing to note though is it's one thing to remove bad law such as outlawing homosexuality as such and it's another to try to force everyone to promote you're life style. Harassment is bad. One problem is that there is no agreed to standard of harassment. So a lot of the left don't like that as a Catholic I will not promote or think that a homosexual lifestyle is something positive. This is not harassment nor is them disliking Catholics and saying mean things about our people and positions.
Hmm, yes, imagine if a bunch Republicans took over a government building, armed to the teeth. I can't fathom it.
> I don't mind trolls, if I can decide who they are and silence them.

This only works for small communities. You can't feasibly block the literally thousands of trolls and petty assholes that are posting on Reddit every day without that task consuming all your time. Multiply that by every single user having to do it personally and it gets even sillier.

There's a reason basically every popular platform is moderated on some level, and it's not because of some grand meta-moderator conspiracy.

Moderation is near-universally used because it works. Non-moderating doesn't work for conversations that eclipse some size. Disliking how moderators behave doesn't change that.
True, but just don't fall into the trap of thinking Reddit is a centrist, unbiased platform that only bans those that upset the equilibrium. Reddit is partisan, applies bans selectively, and permits astroturfing when it agrees with the cause.
I meant everything that runs on x86 Linux. Of course iMovie and Adobe stuff doesn't work, lol.
Or just get rid of them all.

You'll be surprised at how irrelevant almost all of it is.
I looked through the comments to see if someone could provide me steps or evidence of what they did than just telling me about what they found. I have no doubt tiktok is nefarious but most of the things are done by other players with some security problems mixed in.

On remote security problems, check this recent facebook SDK issue - https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues/1374

I think snapchat also tries to detect whether you are trying to snoop in. There are many "privacy" focused app who employ those techniques. Not that I trust tiktok to do it for privacy reasons but they are not alone.

Why should I trust zimperium with their automated reports without an explanation of what they are checking. The link to report ask me about my phone number, email, name, and what not. Seems ironic.

I stopped reading through the other link which points to nowhere now (someone put a gdrive link in the comments). Why censor the code or is that just dummy code to make it spicy?

I would avoid tiktok like I did before but don't blind yourself about other popular non chinese apps.

I am also curious about the reason for adding a way to unzip and execute binaries.
I was personally really intrigued by the ambitions and design decisions in Xi, but it somehow lacked the one thing I can’t live without in a non-terminal editor - a tree view, at least when I first tried the OSX version.

Perhaps that changed, but you’d think that would take higher feature precedence over something like collaborative editing right?
I agree with this but I assume you meant that most people can’t easily distinguish between a liter and a quart.
From the comment:

"For what it's worth I've reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don't collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren't outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is. It's like comparing a cup of water to the ocean - they just don't compare."

The problem is that no one online has any sense of nuance. Any questioning of the absolute worst prediction, or disagreement about public policy regarding it are looked down on as climate change denialism.
Very good point, and accessibility is important. We do have it on our longer-term roadmap for Druid, and until it's done it's a very good reason to consider it unfinished work-in-progress. I will make sure to discuss this in my follow-up blog, which is about building GUI. Thanks.

Regardless of whether you think it's a "weak link", this isn't a logical proof where you can disprove one statement rendering the entire proof invalid. Rather, you have to disprove each piece of evidence for systemic racism in order to disprove it exists.

Your argument is mostly "whataboutism" - you point out that terrible things have happened to groups of people in the past and those things have inter-generational effects. Of course it's true.

That being said, of course it's a matter of degree, but at that point you're just arguing semantics. Driving your car at 25mph vs 125mph is only a difference of degree, and yet one is totally permissible and the other is incredibly dangerous and would land you with a big fine. The key point here is that speeding becomes increasingly more dangerous as you drive faster, to the point that exceeding speed limits by a given amount becomes reckless driving because you're much more likely to cause injury and/or death to yourself and others. In the same way, racist systems create a compounding disadvantage that is almost impossible to rectify simply by changing the laws to make them "colorblind" in the modern day.
Most analytics trackers don't have code to extract and execute the contents of a zip file.
I also noticed that sentence. Circular reasoning out in the open.

I don't personally see over-alarmist info as being as prevalent or as effective as denialist info, in large part because simply prudently-alarmist info in line with scientific predictions has enough trouble getting traction, this was not the way to rationalize an exclusion of that topic from the article.
I understand the argument, my issue was with people conflating three things:

1. Collecting data for internal use
2. Collecting data to sell targeted ads with.
3. Collecting data to directly sell to other parties.

My problem with your suggestion to limit internal data analysis (option 1) is where is the line drawn?

Can "Netflix Streaming Department" share data with "Netflix Original Programming" in your idea? Isn't that the whole point tho?
You’re totally missing the point.

“I can explain how this model works” is not something you can claim about a model. You can only claim it about a tuple of (model, assumptions, data, context).

In context A, some simple linear regression might be very “explainable.” In context B, that same linear model might be totally not explainable (because the mechanism of coefficients based on the regression’s fitting procedure might be totally incompatible with other details of the situation.)

The analogy between Newtonian and quantum mechanics still holds.

The fact that you can more easily map Newtonian mechanics onto English words or pictures absolutely doesn’t make it more “explainable.”

By that logic, saying “a magic wizard did it” would be the most “explainable” model of all.

This is exactly my point. What is “complex” or “simple”? Arbitrary standards of natural language words? The field of explainable models has done no work on this. It starts from some totally arbitrary and confused idea about something both being an accurate model and an explainable model as if they are separate.

The closest academic topic to making “explainability” a serious subject would be the philosophy of language and connection to computability theory, like Kolmogorov complexity, PAC learning, VC dimension, Occam’s razor.

But these are algorithmic aspects of model complexity in the face of a specific data set, it’s absolutely not some hand wavy “oh but a person could ‘easily’ understand certain verbal acoustic vibrations about this” based on nothing.
