> I gave an example of the "good things" I was talking about:

>> Reading a dry article on police brutality (which let’s face it, people just skipped over in the past) is a lot less impactful than seeing something shared by a friend.

> Attitudes towards for example LGBT people and on racial issues are have advanced significantly since 2000, and I think social media has a lot to do with that. (One of the major issues cited by people for why they switched their opinion on same-sex marriage was knowing people in committed same-sex relationships. Social media makes those things more visible.)

Fair enough. I disagree. I think social media has also helped radicalize folks, though I feel that nothing has really changed (not a positive change either). The press was, after all, hopelessly partisan and sensational for most of the West's history. We just had a brief respite. But fair enough and thanks for clarifying.

> As to right-wing populism: it is not fascism, any more than left-wing populism is Jacobinism or anarchy.

What's the difference really? I'm not talking about the boogeyman "literally fascist" thing. Fascist regimes themselves frequently started out as right wing populist representative regimes. Hitler is a fantastic example of that transformation ad absurdum, but there are several other simpler ones, like Franco. And these fascist regimes often started out quite popular.

And likewise with left populism. Stalin and Napoleon are left populism ad absurdum, but we have several more "mundane" examples, such as Tito or Hoxa. I think extremism is bad because of its tendency to flout the rule of law. I see that happening around the world all over again.

Indeed, the hacker news title appears to be wrong.

But your conclusion and the paper's title is right:

One may also add (2012) to the title.

> People don’t register on Twitter to read Fox or CNN. They register to read other people.

So if I follow an influencer that retweets a libelous news story from CNN, who's the liable publisher? Twitter, CNN, or the influencer? What if I retweet it? Am I a publisher now that I piped that into my feed?

The only way Twitter would be able to cope IMO is with a _massive_ increase in censorship and a _massive_ reduction in the ability for the average person to publish opinions. And I think the biggest beneficiaries of that are large media companies that already have their own platforms.

And what I meant when I asked how making Twitter the publisher is any different is how would having the ability to sue Twitter for libel be any different than suing CNN or Fox right now? The only way it's different is if the law treats them differently and makes Twitter beholden to government so the government can sanction them. Who decides what's true then? That sounds like a dictatorship to me.

I completely agree with your sentiment though. The misinformation is out of control and it needs to be reigned in. I just think it's much harder than pointing the finger at someone new and calling them the publisher. I haven't seen any really good solutions either. It's a really hard problem to solve.
AWS Budget Actions
Perhaps because the promise of autonomy is that you will be able to let go, close your eyes, take a nap, or read a book. That is really hard to do if you have even a 0.0001% chance of hitting something and dying because your car didn't do something right.

Sure, your chances of getting into an accident while driving your own car are higher, and some dummy could throw a turkey onto your windshield and kill you ...etc, but humans don't think in probabilities (well, outside of Hacker News humans), and while driving their on car humans have an illusion of control, when the car is driving itself and you are sleeping, that control is gone.
But why has one "felt was attacking you" and was "angry"? It is about arguments not personalities. Better be wrong than ignorant.
I get the feeling we are seeing the social media shake out start. The Facebook boycott was noticeable for brands that don't do well from that channel (ie the big winner in Facebook is Walmart - because facebook puts effort into tracking of a advert for an item results in that phone walking into a store and buying that item)

So unless "influencers" can drive sales (and show they can) we will see more of this :-)

Just imagine a world where you only see an advert that you are extremely likely to buy. That might be nice :-)
I've been using Linux on more or less everything since the late 90's, before that I used OS/2. Have there been hiccups? Sure there have, sometimes I needed to go hunt for some odd driver or even go so far as to use ndiswrapper to use Windows drivers because the native drivers either sucked or did not exist. This is a long time ago though, nowadays Linux tends to have an edge over Windows when it comes to supporting a wide range of hardware out of the box. This might also be related to my tendency to use older hardware - I'm typing this on a Thinkpad T42p from 2004 - which would be close to useless with current Windows versions. The odd thing is that my ancient T42p is a more agile desktop machine than my wife's 1yo Dell running Windows 10. The reason for this is... the Linux desktop. Let's rephrase that, the reason for this is that Linux is very malleable when it comes to 'the desktop', you can mix and match parts from left and right to end up with something that works for you. In my case that turns out to be no desktop at all, relying on a keyboard-driven window manager (Xmonad) with a few utilities (dzen2, dmenu, conky and trayer), for others it might be Gnome-with-all-the-bells or some glitzy KDE incarnation or whatever Ubuntu pushes this year.

The Linux desktop is what you make it. The tools are there to make it work, choose wisely. If it doesn't work for you, try something else.

There is too much virtue signaling in that post around climate change and pandemic, with very dubious assumptions. Needless focus on "electric cars" and very little info about the self driving part of it.

If your company's objectie is reduction of carbon emission you should focus on efficiency and cleaner energy. If your objective is to sell electric car please tell us why it is better than Tesla. Ah, and it can drive itself too ? tell me more about it.

If it is not covered by fair use, then it would be at most copyright infringement, and there the rights holders can use DMCA takedown notices. There was no necessity of Twitter to engage in pro-active censorship here.

In my understanding the policy was aimed originally at stopping the spread of photos like in The Fappening hack. But there was nothing hacked here in my understanding.
> it compromises it

How? The laptop does exist, so at a minimum this is not an outright fabrication, allusions to which I've seen several times in the comments here. The veracity of the photos of crackhead Hunter seems to be also beyond reasonable doubt. As is the fact that he was magically getting millions of dollars for things he has no expertise in, for some reason. The veracity of emails can likely be confirmed by the FBI using DKIM.

A better question would be why this did not come up during the impeachment hearings. There's some exculpatory evidence on that laptop.

In addition, where someone with an extremist view might be considered an outgroup, historically their views might have been suppressed among their peers or shutdown. Now they can engage online with thousands if not millions of other people who believe in the same out group ideas, potentially strengthening their view point.

Not only that but those with out-group positions are great for those with agendas and willing to play along. Anti-vaxers are fodder for anyone looking for angry nuts to turn loose on their enemies etc.

I think there is an overwhelming preponderance of evidence that if the starting point is some society and it changes to be more free, the outcome is more wealth and comfort. I'd rather live in a free society.

That being said, the greatest improvement in the greatest number of people at the fastest rate is almost certainly a title held by the totalitarian government in China. Short-term but nevertheless evidence-based thinkers would struggle to see what the problem is with totalitarianism.

Also; reminder of my favourite thing-I-picked-up-from-a-bit-of-history, the other big advantage of democracies is they tend to be pretty reliable at winning wars. Voters are remarkably good at making armies work.

Well I am not going to deny your experience/impression, but my opinion is that news is valuable to the degree it has actionable information that is accurate.

e.g. Knowing which areas are more likely to be dangerous means I can avoid those areas. If an area is regularly the site of dangerous altercations, I know to be more careful around it. But if the news white-washes that actual factual information it becomes much less useful as actual actionable information.
How would that apply to non-office jobs? While I think we would gain from employers being more open to it, it cannot apply for all occupations. I think legal rights in this regard are difficult.

Too early for that. There are barely any products in the market for this. The ultimate proof will be people installing this in their homes for a certain amount of $ and then getting some measurable ROI (also in $).

But do you have reason to be skeptical about the physics? The premise here is brutally simple centuries old physics and engineering that any high school kid should be able to understand. Simple pressurized vessels holding compressed air. It sounds plausible to me that that ought to be dirt cheap to implement with very low tech solutions for pumping and compressing air and storing it in some kind of vessel.

You see people arguing here for an alternative based on Tesla batteries costing in the order of thousands of dollars even for a modest/small setups. It's kind of easy to see that this could potentially undercut that by orders of magnitudes because there are no special/hard to get materials and it's all based on dirt cheap commodities and technology. Pumps, valves, steel, etc.
For reference, the Bass Pro Shop pyramid in Memphis cost around $100m. The largest pyramid in the UK cost the government of Qatar over half a billion dollars

> “Hmm, I wonder if I could … … … no, never mind, I’ll just do this instead.”

> Interviewers want to know what’s going on in your thought process. It’s important that they know how you’re making decisions. How are you qualifying or disqualifying ideas? Why are you choosing to implement something in a particular way? Did you spot a potential problem in your code? What was it?

That is a very good way to hire people that are good at interviewing or selling themselves, not so much for very good developers.

Speaking loudly about every tiny decision you take for simple algorithms is very hard and inefficient. It is even worse when you have a lot of experience, because you just know which designs will be wrong or not without even thinking twice about it.

It is okay to expect communication about the overall design, specifications, input, outputs and behavior, not about the algorithm itself. If spoken human languages were efficient at expressing this kind of thoughts patterns, we wouldn't have invented mathematics notation or programming languages.

> “I wonder if … hmm … well, I was thinking about implementing this as a depth-first-search, but given a constraint around ___ I think a better approach might be ___, what do you think?”

If you have this kind of expectations, you are again hiring people that are good at interviewing, that is all. I have been a developer for 15 years and I don't know how most of the basic algorithms are called in English, because it is not a useful vocabulary in my everyday work.

I make specific algorithms to efficiently solve specific problems. I do not blindly copy patterns from Stack overflow or from a book. I would not know what is a "depth-first-search" unless I start searching and looking for some code in Google either.
The major, major issue is not really the hosting, but the amplification mechanism (e.g. "More like X"). The social networks have basically used "algorithms" as an excuse to wash their hands of even basic moderation up until this point, and it's well documented that recommendations lead people into echo chamber rabbitholes.

The solution is very simple. Remove section 230 specifically for recommendations. Which IMO makes sense, people perceive "More like X" or more explicitly "You might also like X" as tacit endorsement.
You would trust something that permanently alters your opinion of the world, that could be forcibly administered to you? Nothing about this question suggests it simply "helped you reveal something". To me it has connotations of mind control where your fundamental beliefs are altered through the use of biochem.

There are 30 year periods where US stocks (spy 500 or a close proxy thereof) posted a negative total return. Are you prepared for that?

My larger point is that 12-15% return assumption is absurd. There are very few long-term periods where that has ever been achieved in the US market, most (but not all) of which were followed by a deep and long-lasting correction.

The alternative is to assume a lower return like 5% and plan accordingly.
