Would you mind linking to the studies you have in mind? In thinking about the likes of The_Donald and its current, banished form.
In social sciences cause and effect often intermixed. It is pain in the ass for researchers. From the other hand, it means that it not so important to distinguish cause and effect.

If we had a correlation, we would have a predictor, so we could do something about it. Just studying agencies with military gear would change outcomes. Even media discussing this correlation could change things. The role of an observer even more noticeable than with quantum phenomena.
It's also been shown repeatedly that censorship has harmful unintended effects. For some reason Facebook saw fit to write a post about this, thereby letting lots of people know about the very speech they're trying to remove. The Streisand effect is already at work.

Almost every interviewer asks you to talk about yourself. It only takes 10 seconds to mention the types of things you do to stay sharp and informed.
I think you may not be caught up to the current state of the art in printed firearms. Since the lower receiver of an AR-15 is legally the "firearm", it's the only part you need to create yourself to bypass infringements. The lower receiver is also not much of a pressure-bearing component, so making it on a 3D printer offers few trade offs. There are other prints available for countries with even more restrictive infringements, where you can print or assemble the entire weapon from unregulated parts (which are commonly used in other situations, making them difficult or impossible to regulate).

Those are full-sized spots. People with oversized vehicles and who rent spots normally park astrive the line, not across at 45. That is done by someone who doesn't want anyone near his car. And even if this guy has rented two spots, that is still being a jerk to all the other people who want to rent/use spots.

Do that around my town and you will find motorcycles parked in the triangles you have left behind. I saw a porsche guy call the cops about this while at starbucks. The cop, on a motorcycle, decided to believe that the motorcycles had arrived first and that the porsche must have sneaked in between the bikes. The porsche was ticketed.

As a reminder, in an interview with Kara Swisher in 2018, Mark defended facebooks approach to free speech and light moderation. He said that FB does not wish to moderate certain kinds of content including Holocaust denials as he felt many people denying the Holocaust where not doing so maliciously or intentionally

Full interview: https://www.vox.com/2018/7/18/17575156/mark-zuckerberg-inter...

I’m glad to hear Facebook has come around on this policy but hearing the interview I was a bit floored and it definitely strengthen my resolve that Facebooks’ executives aren’t equipped to handle the complexity of the machine they have created. If Mark can get it wrong on a topic so obvious how can we trust the rest of their content moderation policies in every geo and world conflict.
It’s also the least they could do, quite literally. Holocaust denialism is both extremely fringe ideologically, and extremely visible to rich westerners. It’s the easiest and lowest hanging fruit to show that they’re doing something. But I genuinely doubt that it signals a willingness to tackle either more difficult content like misinformation, nor tamp down on the coordinated behavior in less visible (to Americans) places where FB has been central to enabling genocide and other similarly bad things.

In short: it’s a good move, but I suspect it’s more PR than anything else.
Yep, even in a warzone, if a member of the US military killed somebody because they thought they were reaching for a gun, they would be court-martialed and put in jail, and then kicked out of the military after their sentence.

The standard for police in the USA is appallingly low, and getting lower.
This will do the opposite though I think - most of the "antitrust" arguments targeting Facebook seem to be upset that this type of content is being removed / Facebook (and YouTube, Twitter) have too much power in what we see/read.
> According to a recent survey of adults in the US aged 18-39, almost a quarter said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, that it had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure.

Eventually they'll need to cater to more people, allowing jerks to be jerks , or they'll run out of funding.

While I'm still attending tech meet ups via Zoom , I don't think social media is good. It's too easy to be an ass when you don't have skin in the game. In my tech circles if I'm mean of bigoted I can prevent myself from getting jobs in the future
Corollary: it is therefore in the interest of above-average programmers to perpetuate the myth of programming superstars. Every now and then, everyone ends up in a situation where they can fix some big mistake or solve some big problem with minimum effort. Programmers seen by management as above-average can then use such chance events to reinforce their image of stardom.
I don't see it linked off this article so I'll throw another relevant one here - "The Most Intolerant Wins"

See: https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict...

Additionally full of all kinds of flavorful anecdotes like:

> I once pulled a prank on a friend. Years ago when Big Tobacco were hiding and repressing the evidence of harm from secondary smoking, New York had smoking and nonsmoking sections in restaurants (even airplanes had, absurdly, a smoking section). I once went to lunch with a friend visiting from Europe: the restaurant only had availability in the smoking sections. I convinced the friend that we needed to buy cigarettes as we had to smoke in the smoking section. He complied.

edit: there are a bevy of sibling comments to this one, asking an important question: "When should I be intolerant of intolerance?" The answer explored in the article above is, "...the formation of moral values in society doesn't come from consensus. The most intolerant person (or minority) imposes virtue on others precisely because of that intolerance."

On a larger timescale, the most intolerant viewpoint will shift the views of others toward it. Recognizing this, a society can't tolerate a viewpoint which would be damaging to the core values that society purports to hold, or over the inevitable long-term it will destroy itself. This is why a society which values free speech must quash those elements inside it which will only accept censorship.

Also, "virtue" as quoted has a more specific meaning which is consistency with internal values. That's to say nothing of what those internal values are. They can be great or horrendous for society. Virtue is the willingness to sacrifice for them. Being intolerant is the mechanism by which civil rights advances, just as it can be used for evil.

You make a good point. The second amendment is already dreadfully infringed throughout the US (in some states far more than others), and the first amendment is being chipped away, too. It's unfortunate that we the people allowed it to get so bad.

Why do people fight against deplatforming if according to you it's actually beneficial for their cause?

More like those who are DIRECTLY affected by the event MIGHT learn.

In Windows land I don't have to know something very well to get reasonable help on it.

Besides which, I know from personal experience that Linux Desktop people will assume all sorts of things about you. Quite often I will ask something like "is it possible to make X do Y?" and the response will be something like "you shouldn't do Y. Why do you want to do Y? You should do Z instead, I've only ever needed to do Z".

How would you have them weigh in on the Armenian Genocide, Holodomor, or Tianenman?

Each of those conflicts has deniers of various levels, some of whom are states. And, if Facebook gets it wrong (and perhaps decides the Tianenman square massacre was a hoax by the West to discredit the CCP) - how should we respond then?

This is a company that was censoring pictures of mothers feeding their babies, but still has content promoting the use of bleach to cure Down's and autism. Do you really trust them to engage in censoring at all?

Anybody who uses Windows 10 with any regularity will also run into things that just do not work: for me, recently, it's Windows deciding that I want my sound to output to my monitor (which doesn't have speakers).

Show HN: RegEx for Arrays of Arbitrary Objects
Evidence is that when large social media sites ban hateful groups, they re-congregate somewhere else in much smaller numbers. So while the bans don’t eliminate all of them, they are actually fairly effective at turning the temperature down.

Consider people like Alex Jones. He’s still making stuff, his hardcore fans still subscribe to his stuff, but he’s lost all of his marginal followers as well as the massive on-ramp that YouTube provided him in the form of search and recommendations.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see the dangers of monopolistic corporations controlling speech online. Sure, in this case, nobody can sanely argue with the reasoning, but on the other hand, the last eight years have shown how real the slippery slope "fallacy" actually is.
What you're describing are the Windows compatibility mitigations patches. Windows 10 emulates a tremendous number of quirks and glitches from earlier versions of Windows. Fifteen years ago they were already knee-deep in patches ( http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780321440303/samplech... ), and the importance of backwards compatibility has not diminished since.
To summarize the major issue, we're taught in schools the results of something like Nazi Germany, 6 million died in camps, Hitler was a psychopath, etc., all the details of how horrible it was and how we can never let it happen again.

What we're not taught are the methodical psychological operations implemented over decades on at least 2 or 3 generations that lead up to a situation where an entire country could be fooled or intimidated into allowing such horrors to occur.

If we were taught the causes and not the symptoms then I dare say history would be harder to repeat. Go read Mein Kampf, 1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, it's all there. The methods are extremely simple, it's just the level of psychopathy in our ruling class that is hard for people to accept.

Just being arrested for something doesn't make someone guilty of an offence. The for a trial is to determine whether the accused is guilty of an offence and whether or not they should be removed from the community to prevent them from re-offending.

In a semi-related tangent, The Economist recently had an article about the unintentional destruction of evidence when deleting terrorist propaganda.

The content should be removed from discourse, but I think there is value in making it a silent ban instead of deletion. Keep the post visible to only the poster, no one else can see or interact with the material once it's been flagged. It's effectively deleted, evidence maintained, and the user loses their behavioral dopamine fix once their content no longer generates any support or any controversy because it's fallen off into the void. I'm not sure what the unintended consequences would be of such a strategyth.

What a President Biden Would Do to Big Tech
I have noticed Ubuntu and Fedora's bug trackers often seem to have ignored and longstanding bug reports. I think part of the problem is there is a layer of indirection - the developers of the packages themselves don't look there.

>they interpret "I had a problem with this and therefore don't use it" as some kind of personal attack. This is not only unhelpful, but an actively repellent behavior.

Your posts so far have implied that people reporting their positive experience or advising how to make the most of Linux (eg being careful about hardware choice) must be doing so because of a kind of identity crisis, or that they are reciting from mockable 'Linux Desktop Evangelism playbook'. Meanwhile you seem to have taken personal offence at the 'community's (as if it's one entity) response to your Ubuntu bug tracker entry.

Anyway, just because the title reads Hacker News doesn't mean that only hackers (of any type) read it any more than The New York Times or London Times are only read by residents of those cities.
It's a bit hilarious to me, that people advertise unchecked unfettered capitalism for internet companies, while arguing for regulation of every other company, say oil company X, due to externalities. Nobody's forcing you to buy gasoline silly!

On the contrary, at the time I wrote the original comment, and as I write this, exactly this situation was occurring. Take a look at the map and see for yourself - perhaps it is still happening when you read this.

I also specifically remember 9 years ago during my aforementioned undergraduate report obtaining spreadsheets from the UK National Grid with time segments containing the direction and amount of power transferring via each interconnect (you're going to have to take my word for it... my copy of that data is long gone). These also showed exactly what I described, power being imported and exported simultaneously.

I expect there is a reason for this, perhaps arbitrage but maybe more likely some minimum power has to flow to keep connected sensors/relays/whatever from misbehaving, or some other engineering reason.
We gave them this power by using their platform. They earned it from us. If they'd been given this power by a government agency or something I'd be more concerned, but at the end of the day, we the people directly decided that facebook, and not MySpace or Google plus or whatever, should have this power. And as a non government agency they have the right to modulate speech on their platform. And as long as they're modulating it in this way, by pushing back against holocaust denial, i think they're showing that they are at least competent at making these sorts of decisions. If they eventually prove not to be - well - no social media company is truly too big to fail. There's no regulatory capture or unfair barriers to competition in this space. Their users and advertisers made Facebook, we can unmake it too.

It's probably for service, but if they are renting two spots I don't see a problem. When you have a nice car people find a way to always park next to you, even if you are the last spot in lot. People parking next to you is a guarantee of dings, dents and scratches which are going to be 10's of thousands to fix over time in a new Ferrari(). If they were allowed to get two spots, then I assume the lot has enough spots available so it's not an issue.
