I've never understood people's conflation of "I do not like your speech" with "censorship." A bookstore refusing to carry books by certain authors is in no way censorship, for instance (the books still exist, just not in that bookstore), yet when we bring things into the digital realm for some reason people seem to lose the distinction.

Let me put it this way. Nothing is stopping hateful people from creating their own video hosting platform and hosting their drivel. Hence, free speech. But nothing in the entirety of free speech, whether the legal notions or the philosophical notions, requires platforms to give that speech a place to live. The whole "marketplace of ideas" concept fundamentally works by having the community at large reject hateful speech.

Free speech does not mean each instance of speech needs to be weighed and evaluated equally by the community.

From a far more practical perspective, allowing this sort of thing onto your platform spells death for any content-platform startup. Seeing this sort of thing is going to immediately (a) drive sensible content consumers -- your actual users -- away from the platform, and (b) draw other hate speech creators to you like flies to shit. If that's what the platform wants to do, then nothing in the world is stopping them, but they will never gain mainstream success.
Terrible metaphor.

How do you suggest making a platform which allows good content while disallowing bad? Also, how do you expect to be able to define these things? Remember: every person you pay to moderate has to be able to discern good from bad in as little time as possible. Even less time than that.
>Ride quality? The Tesla is by far the nicest, smoothest, and most fun ride I've ever experienced.

Tesla did a lot of things right; ride handling & NVH are not their strengths.
You may have the right today. But when your employer withholds your passport and abuses you, or the work conditions are so bad thousands die before a project is complete[1], you have very minimal if any rights in that country especially against citizens.

I am not sure there is all that much difference.

There was no forcing. People voluntarily expressed their desire.

* Some people no longer wanted to work at Firefox if he was their lead

* Some people no longer wanted to use Firefox if he was their lead

Now, the organization can easily take any position here. They could say "Yeah, I guess you can't work here, employees who can't work with Brendan Eich. And yes, I guess you have to stop using Firefox, users who can't use product led by Brendan Eich" or they could say "Brendan, looks like you leave or we lose these people" or anywhere in the middle.

This is just people freely expressing their views and advertising how they will act. It is pure liberty and I love it for that.
More fitting is taxing new ICE purchases. Lower income folks could still afford cheap, used vehicles, but folks trying to purchase a 50k, 18mpg sports car will find they'll have to pay an additional ~20k based on the car's emissions. You can make it easier to vote for by being tax-neutral and any revenue is used to fund credits towards new EV purchases -5k. The emissions tax and EV discount will be adjusted yearly to maintain revenue neutral. We should be optimizing a maximal ICE tax and maximal EV discount that minimizes emissions across all new cars. People dropping ~35k+ on new ICE cars, while there is an equivalent 35k EV, must pay to account for their externalities in a true market.

> Free speech absolutism is destructive.

OK, cool. So who gets to decide what speech is allowed? What do the parameters look like? What level of "consensus" gets to establish facts? What happens if there's consensus and someone discovers some new compelling counter-argument or evidence to the contrary for something?

You'll find that even in places like Canada where there are hate speech laws, the restrictions are limited to speech that poses a credible threat or incitement to violence, in context. None of the things you've mentioned are illegal to talk about, just like flat eartherism or any other pseudoscientific concept.

Again, you can find it as distasteful as you like; but there's a clean and simple solution to the problem, which is a button with an X on it, at the top of your window. Consider clicking it?
A bar is private property that just so happens have the doors open for potential customers, whilst some things on the internet are public access, nobody is forcing you to go to any specific website if you don't want to, but at a privately owned bar you might not like someone chanting about politics or whatever the case may be, and this is established laws for platforms vs publishers in the USA. This is why a lot of people have issues with Google editorializing search results (check out Project Veritas on the matter) because they reach out into editor territory and out of just being a platform.

Since somebody downvoted without providing references to their refutes here's an actual case about freedom of speech online which is the main one by the looks of it in regards to suppressing speech online:

The burden of defamation is on the person not the website if anything, however, if someone posts anonymously who do you sue? The best a platform can do is delete their account. I've successfully had defamatory / false content about myself deleted from a platform in the past.

You're technically correct, but that's not really relevant. 0 < 1 < 780,000 for sure, but that's also the difference between making a living and not.

Free email is fine. Just make sure to own your own domain and MX records. Worst case you switch to somewhere else and keep on mailing.
In addition to underpowered hardware there's underpowered connections (e.g. bad satellite connections and rural cellular) where things like being able to turn off images in a browser can come in handy.

While wikipedia might not be the typical site there, there is something to be said that a site that deals in information (like a generator's manufacturers page) should at least have a low-bandwidth option so you can access the textual information you need without pulling in a presentation layer that isn't critical.
Information is also operating at web scale, so it’s not obvious that the net effect is more misinformed population than before.
This is neat. I had a similar idea of tracking what we read online in the browser. In addition to just recording time spent and links followed, I would also archive every article read to automatically build up a personal library of the articles themselves. Additionally, light weight note taking on the articles themselves ala hypothe.is

Unfortunately a new baby has drained all my time for such pursuits.

Hope you develop your concept further!

There was actually a recent video from PBS spacetime on YouTube that did back of the envelope math on just this subject. The result is that you would basically have to strip mine the top three meters of the entire surface to get enough carbon, and the energy required for the chemical reaction would be something like 100 years of today's global energy production.

I don't find dragonwriter to be unreasonable. Instead, I find your expectations to be rather surprising. You expect to not be called out on misusing language? On a board with a large number of programmers, to whom the details of language use really matter?

You can think that this instance doesn't deserve the nitpicking. But getting all huffy and accusing the other side of being unreasonable seems to me to be rather over-sensitive.
The obtuseness of the wording definitely stood out.

This is interesting in that if you can use channels as described by the CSP book[1] you could build a kernel that is guaranteed to be free of concurrency bugs.

This would be important because even if you have proven the functional correctness of a kernel, that typically excludes the concurrency aspect.

yah, it's total bullshit that masks are thrown around as knight in shining armor akin to the second coming, when we all know they have limited utility for most situations outside of hospitals and care facilities, while the mundane but effective solution of distancing is ignored because it's not conspicuous enough and politicized enough for various factions to wield for their own aims.
Not actually true. H2 is found naturally, although we don't have an good assessment how much exists or whether there are significant deposits.
Yes, all documentation websites should have a max line width. It baffles me when I see people argue against max width in any way. If you disagree with constricting max text width you should _never_ design an interface that humans use.
> Replace Vague Terminology in (c)(2). First, the Department supports replacing the vague catch-all "otherwise objectionable" language...

This disallows the common practice of open-ended moderation criteria such as "Be kind. Don't be snarky". Proposed section (c)(1)(b) removes the safe harbor except for moderation criteria on the list in proposed (c)(2)(a), which is:
"obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, promoting terrorism or violent extremism, harassing, promoting self-harm, or unlawful"

> Provide Definition of Good Faith. Second, the Department proposes adding a statutory definition of "good faith" which would limit immunity for content moderation decisions to those done in accordance with plain and particular terms of service and accompanied by a reasonable explanation...

Open-ended moderation criteria such as "Be kind. Don't be snarky" are at risk of not being judged "particular" enough, which is a requirement of proposed section (g)(5)(a), meaning that sites with open-ended criteria could be judged as "not in good faith" according to this definition, and lose their safe harbor.

$25k/year is enough to live on even in the Bay Area if you have roommates and work at a big tech company with good benefits. It's not too hard to find a 3 bedroom house for $4,000/month in somewhere like Santa Clara. Split that 3 ways and that's only $1,300/month. Food and transportation is free during the week, leaving $700 / month for all other expenses (old car, food on weekends, some entertainment). Definitely would not be the most exciting life ever, but it's doable. Very effective if you want to quickly save $500k-1M for a home down payment or retire somewhere to a low COL area by the time you're 30.

> as opposed to the usual "we want this feature [no one asked for] to be used more so we gave it more exposure [at the expense of the UX]"

This is just how business works, you like to steer users to features that will make them spend more. Wikipedia has been able to side-step this because it's a non-profit.
They should lead by example. Stop using that which you want to remove, then we can have a meaningful public exchange.
Grow plants. Cut them down. Bury them in old coal mines. Repeat.

I think you can get something like 3 tons of CO2 per acre per year with switchgrass. There's around 1 trillion excess tons of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Let's say we use around 200 million acres of land, that works out to:

(1 trillion tons / 3 tons per acre per year) / 200 million acres = 1512 years.

But that's just the US. If other countries help with land, we could probably get 1 or 2 billion acres involved, so that drops it to 150 years.

That's a lot, but not as bad as your picture.

The most mind boggling thing about your reply is the sentence "I know this is difficult when people are saying things you believe to be untrue"

That's not what is happening here. That's not what the issue is. Hate speech doesn't boil down to "things I don't believe to be true."

Typing "Jews" into these platforms and getting hate speech back isn't an issue of "oh dear, here are some untruths." It's hate and designed to create more hate. Which is why many platforms and many countries have a special category for it.

You can disagree with that philosophically, fine. But you might try not being so flippant about it. Especially when the example here, anti-Semitism, is associated with the death of millions of people's loved ones.
As it happens, I just found, hidden in a crevice of my desk, a somewhat yellowed half-sized fragment of a page, which, telling from the letters, could well have originated from Kafkas very own typewriter.

Not really, it means people do care, which is opposite of the original claim.

>Do you really think that significant purchasing decisions are going to be influenced by this? That’s not a snarky rhetorical question, I’m actually asking.

Not sure honestly. Even if it's a series of small, insignificant purchaso decisions, it can still amount to something significant.

>I ask because I can tell you for a fact that at my large enterprise, they will not be. If anything, this incident will be used as an example by those looking for cover. “if an org like Microsoft can make this mistake, you really have no justification for being mad at our department for a similar leak.”

That sounds like an insanely toxic environment. This is illogic that you can apply to everything: "well, if Microsoft can get by with cooking the books and violating customer's privacy, so can we."

I think more people would think: "if this is how they handle customer search data, imagine how terribly they handle data elsewhere."

> Some experts think we not only need to stop selling gas-powered cars _immediately_, but also actively remove existing fossil fuel cars/appliance from the economy.

That's targeting the wrong side of the supply/demand equation. Which is also why this initiative of California's will not work.

Just keep building better power sources!! You will never reduce demand, you can only make a better supply.

Nuclear nuclear nuclear. There's nothing else that can do it fast enough.

Thanks for this reply as well. But batteries will cover most land use, and going by sources like the EIA [1] the primary source of anthropogenic N2O emissions is overwhelmingly agriculture, at 70+%. Other sources indicate that may have fallen somewhat since then, but even so everything I can find indicates fossil fuel combustion is still only around 10%. And of that air travel will be single digits. Not nothing, but I'm not sure it'd justify massive effort alone.
