I am agreeing with refurb's comment below you. Most people calling "fake news" are trying to convince you to not watch something. Most people calling "disinformation" are trying to convince you that you should not be able to watch something. I'm not taking the side of Trump or anyone at all by saying that criticism is different than censorship, that's just a fact. Your argument is not in good faith if bringing that up to you is considered an implicit support for Trump, or anyone really.
Something has to be done. Obvious bullshit is fooling huge chunks of the population and causing huge damage. We have always selected acceptable content and it has usually been a positive. Schools have always picked which info to teach and what to not and that's largely a positive thing.
So they should never learn from their mistakes?
Fully agree, and I'm not sure why you were modded down. I guess the answer is that the censorship of unpopular views is okay with most people. This could be an innocent consequence of our click-bait culture, or it could be something more sinister.

Ask HN: How do I find a tax advisor for startup professionals?
I've worked at a startup for the past 6 years. Over that time I've had multiple options grants and some have vested already. My employer recently offered a buy back for a portion of my vested options.

How do I find someone for professional advice on this? Someone familiar with startup options and shares for employees. I have questions like: How do my options affect my personal tax situation? Does accepting the buy back change anything? Should I just treat the buy back like capital gain?
That's not an equivalent issue. Employees, like consumers, need their money much more than employers (or more to the point, senior managers and shareholders) need it.

Only a world where the feelings of the CEO are the most important thing in the entire company does this difference really matter.

As CEO your job is (a) leadership and (b) communications. He failed at both, badly. Perhaps he should have reached out to internal resources more (HR, PR, crisis PR, etc), but these are things I expect a CEO to figure out.

While I understand what you're trying to say, I still think it's incorrect. The Hiptop (branded as the T-Mobile Sidekick) was very popular in the US - it was widely advertised on TV and "all the cool kids" had one. Literally kids - it was popular with a younger generation, and advertising played that up.

The hiptop unquestionably crossed the threshold into mainstream awareness at the time. It's just been forgotten because the iPhone overshadowed it.

On a personal note, I had a few generations of Hiptop before I switched to the 1st gen iPhone. Yes, my first experience with the iPhone was memorable... but still not as memorable as my first Hiptop. "You mean I have the internet everywhere??" That was incredible in 2002. We just take it for granted now.

Along a similar vein, I find the concept of "Dark Energy" really hard to swallow. To me it seems like such a bizarre assumption to assume a force akin to anti-gravity instead of assuming plain old gravity.
Not in the world/culture/political/economic system we have developed into.

There are only two ways to get things done.

1. Companies develop/supply a "product" because they can profit from it.

2. Companies are forced or subsidised by governments to supply a "product" they wouldn't otherwise be able to do for a profit.

It seems that only option 2 would be applicable here.

I'm so sorry for what your family is going through.

You sit at your desk most of the time in your classroom. The same way you do at home in an online class.

But home is relatively more comfy. You are allowed to eat, stretch, sit anyway you like, take a walk, go to washroom as many times as you want, and play a game on the side in an online class.

Less chances for kids to bully each other and if they did, digital evidence of it is available.

Some teachers behave better.

I wish some sort of hybrid will come. Activities that require sitting in a classroom should be shifted to remote while others can be built into a separate school.

I am shocked that the nfl hasn't started a "my life depends on it" type of project to develop safety gear that will protect players better or test out major changes in rules that will make players less prone to injury.

When I was younger I used to feel the risk was worth it- yeah you risk your body but you make a million dollars a year- you are set! Now I realize that little of that money is guaranteed, 1.6% of college players get drafted, and most of those wash out in a year or two after making the league minimum or practice squad minimum. After taxes, agents and the like, it's a horrible expected return for even the best of the best.
>something can't be anonymous and social at the same time, social engagement requires personal contact and identity.

I don't really agree with that. Going to a bar or a club is absolutely social. And can absolutely be anonymous.

Granted, that does include personal contact, but there's no requirement to identify yourself, or if you do, provide accurate information.

I'd say the same is true for online interaction. When you interact with others (such as me responding to your comment) that's a social interaction.

Whether it's a meaningful or useful social interaction is a different question, but definitely social interactions, IMHO.

>On anonymous sites you may get into a generic argument, but you don't lose reputation, you're not personally attacked in your identity, and you can't be ostracised.

That's absolutely true. At the same time, it doesn't make those interactions not "social interactions," just anonymous or pseudonymous ones.

Just like the ones you might have on a subway or in the checkout line at a supermarket.

Quantum Entanglement Realized Between Distant Large Objects-Limitless Precision
A team of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have succeeded in entangling two very different quantum objects. The result has several potential applications in ultra-precise sensing and quantum communication and is now published in Nature Physics.
Yeah, I think it's necessary and honestly overdue. The problem with these attempted defenses of the race to the bottom we are witnessing in online communication is they step back from the direct examination of specific harms to the abstraction of "speech."

Once the subject is switched, we can comfortably speak in generalities about the abstract value of speech. It reminds me of what Keats said about a certain way of thinking about economics: "Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again."

We're dealing with something that most reasonable people agree is a genuine crisis of democracy, and it's sheltered by a naiive conception of speech that doesn't have anything specific to say directly about Qanon, Covid, the 2020 election. It's a view from 10,000 feet generality that works when the ocean is flat again.
If misinformation leading to loss of life can be traced back to YT, wouldn't YT be far more at risk for across-the-board negative response? Science and politics have a massive intersection in the arena of public communication; e.g., fracking, nuclear energy, climate change, vaccines...

> The ban is a political act and not a scientific one.

It is a public health act and a moral act, and therefore both scientific and political. These considerations don't take place in a vacuum of Free Speech Patriots versus Social Media Authoritarians. YouTube's decision has to be considered alongside the widespread consensus among doctors and public health officials that social media disinformation about COVID-19 has killed tens of thousands of people worldwide, in a pandemic that has killed over 1,000,000 people in less than a year.

And let's be absolutely clear: the reason why YouTube's actions are so politically controversial is that unscrupulous politicians like Trump and Bolsorano have deliberately politicized misinformation about COVID-19. It is not YouTube's fault that "should we listen to scientists about COVID-19?" has become a partisan issue.

Also: "Section 230" concerns are irrelevant here (and irrelevant in most cases of social media "censorship"). Section 230 specifically allows content providers a great deal of latitude in blocking material they deem "objectionable," including constitutionally-protected speech. YouTube is well within their rights to make reasonable determinations about what constitutes COVID-19 misinformation, and to ban such materials.

YouTube blocks pornography with nary a peep from free speech activists. This is because a "free speech" argument is transparently absurd: YouTube is a business and not the government, and is allowed to regulate the data it keeps on its servers for business reasons. Yet the idea that YouTube might regulate for reasons of ethics or public health in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years is apparently the slippery slope of censorship.
> Obvious bullshit is fooling huge chunks of the population and causing huge damage.

“Obvious” is debatable. Hardly anyone watching scientific content of any kind is an expert in the subject matter. What the public has always relied on is some sort of authority figure lending credibility to some idea or news story. For instance, saying masks don’t work is “obvious” bullshit. But remember back in March? Our glorious leaders were urging us not to buy masks because they don’t work, and besides, doctors need them. Even though they don’t work. And to have argued differently at the time was “misinformation.”

Now we’re trusting Facebook, Twitter, and Google to be the authority from which all truth flows.
Thanks for answering.

boundary proxy is an ok step but user experience should be streamlined especially if it's for teams and orgs and not just individuals who want to hack scripts but I full understand it's a 0.1 release.

Another thing I couldn't find in the docs is support for multiple installations, let's say I have different vpcs (In different accounts) or I have one on-prem installation and one in a cloud how do I login/switch/configure the cli to work seamlessly with multiple controllers.
Well, yes, definitely. It isn’t a peer-to-peer architecture, so at some point Zoom is storing files that correspond to your video calls. At some point I’m sure they’re deleted but someone with a subpoena can access them before they are. End-to-end encryption means there is never any window when a government could mandate access.
I still find useful things with Google searches that are hosted on FTP, so this seems very odd and unfortunate. I'd say the "file-based web" is still very much alive. A lot of those files I've come across (usually old software and docs) are unlikely to be found anywhere else, as I'm not even sure if archive.org archives FTP sites. IMHO this is a significant part of the Internet that must be kept alive, because it holds invaluable amounts of irreplaceable data.

Buzzfeed was previously famous for apolitical clickbait articles and quizzes, they practically invented the genre. New York Post, meanwhile, has been a tabloid-level spreader of pro-conservative and anti-progressive misinformation. It's smart to be skeptical of obviously politically motivated reporting from any outlet, but especially so when one has such a concerning track record.
I think new things do have the potential to vastly change the status quo in a way that well understood institutions like the news media don't. Social media and recommendation algorithms are a truly new thing. We're just starting to understand how they intersect with society. Mass media has to be widely palatable to spread. The flat earth society would struggle to pay to run national newspaper let alone a TV station, but you can find hours of "quality" flat earth videos on the intent. We now have systems that can pick out for you exactly the group that agrees with you. Where before you'd only get exposed to the opinions of your surrounding community now, it's easy to find that there are thousands of people who agree with the little bits of racism that you subscribe to.

I think I agree that this article shouldn't have been blocked partially because it don't fit perfectly into this distinction

Bonus second reason why people might feel differently. People know and treat the NY Post as suspect. People like me don't read it. Probably some advertisers won't touch it, but I do use Twitter and FB. Most people do. They are arguably natural monopolies
I don't think facebook and twitter would have acted this quickly and this brazenly if it were 100% BS. This reaction just reeks of "Oh @#$!! Kill it!"
That is also a matter for interpretation, I believe. This cuts to the heart of the raging platform vs publisher debate (section 230).

From my understanding, the current status quo is:

1. A platform can not moderate its content beyond removing illegal content that is brought to their attention;

2. A publisher can moderate and selectively cull what ever user content they like, but is held liable for any infringing content that breaks its ToS or the law.

This is a matter I strongly believe requires an update to relevant legislation and a clear / strong precedent that can be pointed to. It feels like social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) is trying to be both a platform and publisher when it suits them.

EDIT: Made the language a bit more neutral and closer alined to the current than the "should be". A child reply linked an article that is worth reading [1], however take it with a grain of salt, seeing as it's more opinion and interpretation of intent than a reading on application of the law as it is written. This issue has been simmering away long before 2016. It's only started to come to the foreground as the social media giants started moving closer to "publisher" than "platform". It would have been unthinkable to see Twitter, Facebook and Youtube "fact checking" and adding content below posts ten years ago.

I see this less as a partisan issue and more of a civil rights issue. I don't want to imagine a future where we have untouchable arbitrers of truth.

On the email remark, are you aware of any mainstream news org (wikileaks doesn't count) who has posted a full raw email with DKIMs as part of their story's evidence? I'd honestly be surprised if you can show me one, double so if it's commonplace, since it's one of those things I just sort of consider nearly impossible for the media to actually do.
