I'm following a conspiracy that QAnon is a conspiracy itself designed to take focus away from true conspiracies. Similar circles are all in agreement about Alex Jones as well being a deep state disinfo plant. Clearly according to most here, all conspiracies are false and the only source of truth is what they are told by the government and mainstream outlets. So, QAnon is an easy target for those looking to spend their time debunking conspiracies. The QAnon conspiracy, in that regard, is doing exactly what it was intended to do.
> I'd start with the fact that it's 21 years later, and that the 'matrix is gender binary and agents are transphobes' makes zero sense to anyone who has seen the movie.

Makes sense to me, and I saw the movie. In fact, it validates that a lot of casual connections I saw in the film when it first came out (and throughout the trilogy) were intentional, and I'm a cisgender heterosexual Catholic that's not super prone to seeing LGBT themes everywhere.

Of course, I also got the “humans are processors, not energy sources” thing before reading that it was the Wachowskis intent, and the dialog about “batteries” was added at the studios insistence after test audiences found the concept confusing (but it's also clear that they didn't do anything much with the power sources thing but dialog from an unreliable narrator, and people-as-processors is more consistent with the presentation of pretty much everything in the film, and the whole trilogy.)

> Unless trans folk can slow time to dodge bullets, which would make me rethink my own gender I guess.

Metaphor. It's a thing distinct from simple literal presentation.
I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps he means all the extra "fire::" annotations one needs to put in place in function parameter lists as well as the ultimate dispatcher instatiating cpp macro? Really there is always at least 2.5 with the #include <fire.h>, later macro and annotations.

https://github.com/c-blake/cligen achieves the actual 1-line of code dream without extra annotations and even leveraging existing API documentation and even colorizing said rST docs in terminal generated help output. { Of course, that one line might be an "import cligen; dispatch(foo)" which is arguably denser than most people would format it. } One usually wants to add some per-parameter help, though, unless your parameter names are always much more descriptive than "x" and "y".
Just that you can't rule out things you don't know anything about. Archaeologists nowadays enforce a rule where anything they don't have firm evidence about must be absolutely assumed not to exist. But that's not science, and we have no need to toe that line.

12,000 years ago there were very different kinds of technology at different places. We are certain that Australia and New Guinea (at the time, a continent joined by the now submerged Sahul region) was settled by boat across open sea. The entire Pacific rim, from New Guinea to Chile, could have been connected by boat traffic operated by a now-vanished seafaring culture, with any remaining evidence now deep under water. Thousands of years is enough time for a very great deal to happen, and then the artifacts rot.

Absent evidence, there is no certainty. Maybe ideas arose independently all around the same time period entirely by accident, and maybe they didn't. But generally it is unwise to insist that simultaneous parallel events are entirely independent when there is possibility of contact.

Sorry, I should have consistently specified "urban" land. Urban land is not finite (cities grow) and is very high value-added.

American policy makers have chosen policies (eg zoning law) that make it easy to produce valuable urban residences. Now they have a massive competitive advantage in high-end residences, so of course they will become exporters.

True, but the larger point is that the monoculture arguably makes the impact of any given vulnerability worse. Similar to how any given CDN/cloud provider probably has much better uptime than old-school web hosts, but now roughly half the Internet can be broken by one provider having an outage.

Facebook isn’t necessary infrastructure for communication. It’s an ad platform.

Anyone using it accepted an arrangement where Facebook is under no obligation to permit them to continue to use Facebooks property (Facebooks servers).

You should really climb out of the web and read up on the laws that you tacitly give control over you by your ignorance of how they work.

The historical root of power in America is owning real property. The masses seem happy to sign theirs over to employers and banks.

If you just tell people what your love language is, but don't learn to show love in their love language, they still won't feel cared for. You may even be reinforcing the message that you don't care enough to adapt to them.

If you tell people to call you out on being late, but are still routinely late, it will feel like an empty apology.

We all have flaws and have to deal with each others'; for all I know this person is a fantastic manager. But I'm skeptical that this kind of document is a good way to start a working relationship. It's very personal to the author but impersonal to the recipient, giving the impression that all responsibility lies on the recipient to deal with the author's issues. I know the document tries to emphasize that that's not the case, but until you have a real relationship with the person you don't know which parts of that to trust. (Most people see themselves as being open to honest feedback, but that doesn't mean they actually are.)

I grew up in fundamentalist cults and lived in a rural area favored by the antisocial. This film was the indulgent catharsis of reactionary Luddism, anticulture, bigotry, and social paranoia I was immersed in. A naked display of antisocial fantasies. I couldn't have avoided watching it. Everyone I knew watched it over and over, feeding antisocial yearnings. I took away a sharp new perspective on my world which formed the tip of the wedge that separated me from those communities.

Meh. When the discussion and dissemination of ideas doesn't go beyond "meme level", nothing of value is really being lost. The platform doesn't really lend itself to deep discussion. It's sound bites but now every crackpot on the planet gets the same voice as experts who have dedicated their lives to a subject.
Is this meaningfully different from previous instances of censorship by social media platforms?

You don't have any right to use Facebooks platform that is against their TOS, that they likely can change at any time. Ma Bell was regulated as as utility, Facebook is not a utility.
I imagine the answer to that question is complex. One aspect, I think plays a role is having people's attention divided, as they argue and polarise, allows the powerful actors in the globe, to take actions that fly underneath the radar.

I think you're discounting the number of people involved with such conspiracies for whom that discription is not true.
This may just "prove" to them that there's a Big Conspiracy out to cove things up. It may be better to do things to slow it down -- shadow banning new posts (they appear for the poster, but nobody else can see them), delaying and losing a significant portion of posts, not putting it high in a person's feed even if subscribed, leaving it out of search results.
The original thread is good, because it states the problem and links to a number of tools which mitigate the problem in various ways.

I'd say that IAM is a too low-level interface (or language). It makes it hard for engineers to think at the convenient enough level of abstraction correctly. (Imagine writing e.g. a C++ compiler in 6502 assembly.)

An obvious solution would be to introduce a tool / language which allows to operate at the level engineers are used to think at, validate the structure, and analyze the potential breach impact for every resulting piece. (Sort of like, again, a compiler. Or at least something like Terraform as a first step.)

A few steps in that direction are already done with the tools mentioned in the original thread. But I suspect that a lot can still be done in this area, bringing fame and potentially money to those who would come up with a tool which becomes widespread. (I mean, it could be a wide project / startup idea for those who understand both IAM and formal methods well.)
Free speech is a complicated issue. Ideally I would like to see groups like this banned, but I can see how that can lead to issues with who says what content is ok and what isn't.

With regards to my comment about the mask and medicine, what's not truthful about it? There are still people that don't believe that masks help, and that hydroxychloroquine will help them.
Nope! With those systems you have no way to input accidentals. Here, notes are entered in scale degree, so if you say "4 5 6" you get the 4th, 5th, and 6th scale note, every time. If you later want to transpose to Eb Pentatonic, everything remains musical. The arp can also tranpose by scale notes instead of just semitones too.

Also, there's quite a bit more, all in the docs. There's a ton more there.

> Urban land is not finite (cities grow)

“Capable of growth” and “not finite” are not the same thing.
> Ah, so Facebook has no moral obligation to control posts on whether or not they are true - just on whether or not they get paid to show them?

To sum it up like that reduces both the enormity and complexity of the problem they are faced with. You say you get spammed with Trump ads; how many of those ads make claims that you could prove are irrevocably untrue? Politicians and people designing political ads are often experts at dancing in the "gray area" of truth.

I don't think it is fair to deny the fact that Facebook takes this problem very seriously, certainly beyond what would be expected from them as far as business obligations go. (I'm even saying this as someone building a product that would compete with them.)
They would receive their respective share capitals in the liability payment stage of utilisation process, the business would continue too, so no valid reason to complain.
I completely agree with you but there's a huge swath of people that don't.

Embrace... falsehood?
I am not surprised by downvotes, it is an emotional topic on all sides. That makes up / down voting more emotion drive rather than perhaps argument driven.

Reputation systems like HN and Reddit, lack nuance in their expression. Does a downvote mean "I don't agree?", does it mean "I don't like you?", does it mean "This makes me mad?", does it mean "This comment doesn't add value?", or maybe "This comment is inaccurate."?

Because this sort of voting is such a blunt instrument, I don't see a lot of value in trying to tease out the "why" of up votes or down votes. At the end of the day, does it matter? Any comment on this site with regards to a link is just a data point amongst many from which the reader may develop an understanding.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau criticized representative democracy because the latter is a form of slavery. People obey to the laws enacted by representatives without knowing the content. It isa voluntary servitude. Just because people voluntarily agree to slavery, such a voluntary slavery won't become democratic. That's how I look at Switzerland: directive democracy as against representative democracy that Rousseau criticized.

Switzerland is a small country. An 'anomaly' to Arrow's theorem, if one insists on it. So, one has to study Switzerland's democracy.

That's twisting words. Belief in some cosmic, anthropomorphic entity is nothing to do with "belief" in money or corporations. How does one "believe" in those things anyway?

I refute your claim that being left-handed pretty much guarantees sloppy handwriting.

My parents are both left handed. Mum’s handwriting is very classically neat according to a standard form with fairly wide letters. Dad’s is not classically neat, favouring taller letters and shapes more angular than rounded, but it’s definitely tidy and very legible.

Another of the neatest writers that I know is left-handed. (And female. I have observed a moderately strong correlation—though by no means uniform—between classically neat handwriting and being female.) I can think of several other left-handed people that I know, but I don’t know their handwriting. My left-handed grandmother’s handwriting is neat in the fairly illegible cursive style of the era, but she does it with her right hand since they beat left-handedness out of you (in handwriting at least) in those days.

(Fun fact: I and my seven siblings are all “failures”. Consensus seems to be something like 20% chance of a child of two lefties being left handed, so the probability of all eight of us being right handed was somewhere around 17%.)
An important part of science is admitting when we’re wrong
First off, hope you and your family are keeping yourself sanity through all this. As someone with kids about that age, this is rough.

I will point out that there are many really good social networks that don’t also have the same problems as Facebook. Things like instant messaging groups, subreddits, Discord servers, phone calls, Imgur, etc. Every medium and platform has its drawbacks but I find that using multiple networks that aren’t FB has been a huge boon to the quality and quantity of meaningful experiences I’ve had.
