It's not good intentions. The tech giants are attempting to throw an election and they don't care who knows at this point. For the 2012 election Facebook execs bragged about illegally assisting the Obama campaign by giving them practically the entire FB social graph, for free. That violates federal campaign finance laws. Nothing was done about it and you'll never get anyone on HN to go near talking about that fraud, which was entirely out in the open.

The media ran every possible baseless story they could about Trump the past four years, often with zero supporting evidence to the story in question. Every time they turned out to be fake stories, the media conveniently ignored it, refused to run retractions and moved on to the next fraudulent story. Twitter allowed max distribution in every single instance. Now a story blows up about Biden, and they go in to hyper overdrive to stop it, colluding with Facebook. You've got people inside of these companies directly working for the DNC and using company resources to violate federal campaign finance laws.

There is a growing list of people in big tech that need to go to prison for election interference.

It's fascinating to watch the camera companies slowly catch up to where Elgato was years ago; their failure to "think beyond the box" may help explains why camera sales peaked around 2012 and have been falling ever since.

Don't get me wrong: I still have a standalone Fuji camera, but I'm unusually interested in photo aesthetics. For most people, ease of use and convenience wins, and that it took this long for Sony to release software to enable this pretty obvious functionality explains what's wrong with most of the big camera companies.
It is stupid especially considering that the people who are for this sort of censorship (or moderation, if you will) usually also agree with the notion that we are heading towards fascism. Which one is it then? Is it possible to take on step forward and stay put, or does every step forward indicate more steps in the future?

You can't have it both ways, it's either a fallacy or not. History tells us that it is not a fallacy, and that we should use all the warning signs we can find before it's too late to go back.

You're probably correct on your first assumption that this is campaign related and most likely won't go anywhere. Legislation is the only 'real' way to change the section.
Scientists can't prove anything. They can only make statistical correlations and establish causation to a degree.

When I use the word "prove" i don't mean like proving things in math. Nobody means this, it's obvious to everyone what they mean. Prove in this context means well established. For example if I say scientists have proved the theory of gravity.

What's going on here is extreme pedantry. Prove has meaning in different contexts, you have chosen the most technical pedantic context to suit some misguided purpose rather than the most obvious context. There's no point in taking this further.

If you're having trouble with it, then perhaps try and remember how the Internet has changed over time. What started as a network of scientists and enthusiasts has become a network of corporations and governments (increasingly driven by party-focused politicking). That's not even mentioning the emergency of social networks and the prevalence of foreign and domestic misinformation/manipulation therein.

If the Internet hadn't changed so radically, their viewpoints might have also remained similarly stale.

It cuts both ways, though.

The road to hell (totally censored internet) is paved with good intentions (trying to clamp down on misinformation). But the road to hell (a society full of dangerously misinformed citizens) is also paved with good intentions (trying to keep the internet free of censorship).

I guess my point is that none of this is actually easy to navigate. Anyone saying "censor the story, it's no big deal" is missing the bigger picture. But IMO, so is anyone saying "disinformation is not a problem, it shouldn't be tackled".

Except that the part where your company makes extra money and you get a fat bonus happens now, while the part where consumers eventually lose faith in your ratings takes years.

If it were spam I think they'd tell them that. If they don't tell you the reason, almost certainly its fraud, and the only way to win against fraudsters is not to play with them. Anything you tell them is just an invitation for them to argue with you and waste your time, or infer detection methods. It is very hard to control fraud costs without alienating your users, especially for a free service with low barriers to entry. That isn't an excuse for Google to be so terrible, but I do think people lack appreciation for the actual problems here.

The fundamentals of free speech are just easier to uphold when the forum (Internet) is much smaller and the participants (hacker culture, chat rooms) are more uniform. Both the size of the forum and the diversity of the participants has changed - that's what happened.

Possibly, thanks, I'll look into it. One key is that I'm not looking for an abstraction, I'm looking to provide an abstraction. I run infrastructure teams that provide the infrastructure as a product to other engineering teams, including build and deployment systems. So I need a system that is flexible enough that I can create the abstraction I want to provide. Most of the tools in this space either abstract away everything, in an opinionated way that I don't agree with. Or they abstract away too little, so I would have to write a heavy abstraction over the abstraction. Waypoint, with its plugin system and if the HCL syntax is expanded to support reusable templates/modules, may provide a good building block for me.
There was the Canon EOS solution they published the beta for earlier this year. I have an old Rebel T5 that I decided to try out, even though official support bottomed out at the T6.

No capture card required, just the EOS Webcam utility and a USB connection. It runs very slowly, though. The latency is bad and so is the frame rate, though the picture itself is great. I've heard that reported for many supported cameras and varying computer specs as well so I'm not sure how long that will continue...
I'm a recluse, I don't go anywhere or talk to anyone anyway, so when I lost my smart phone a few years ago I didn't bother to replace it. I think if I still had one this would convince me to get rid of it.
I grew up in the early 2000s. I find it difficult to understand as well, but I think what happened is that emotional human contact was overrun by corporate/nation-state bots. Bots cannot be convinced that their positions are wrong; they exist solely to spread discontent and fear. This is far different than the early Internet where you could safely assume everyone you were talking to is a real person. They may be a dangerous person, but a person nonetheless. You could equally assume that their day job does not consist of demoralizing or confusing people, and their positions on the issues were a result of genuine thought and strategy rather than a built in set of beliefs meant to serve some mystery person or group's end game.

Basically, free speech only works if we have reason to believe the people holding onto the "bad" ideas in the idea marketplace listen. It stops being a solution when there are no consequences to being wrong, when your reputation doesn't matter, and when you can be as immoral or insidious as you want without a care in the world. This is the result of automation invading human spaces.

We're using img [1] with a helper script. The helper script runs a pod in the (potentially) remote Kubernetes cluster that takes the container build context as stdin, then runs img to build the image, and then imports it into the host's containerd instance. It also maps in the right host volumes so that the image build is cached between subsequent runs.

I was surprised to be unable to otherwise find a good local / remote container development workflow, but this was built to replace what we were previously doing, which is setting DOCKER_HOST to point to the remote (single-node) cluster's Docker daemon (over SSH), so that docker CLI commands would execute on that remote box.

In both cases, you'll still want to take steps to minimize the size of your container image build context, but the size of the images doesn't matter. I'm not sure if it'd fit your needs or not, though.

I know hacks get posted too often to HN, but this is a particularly egregrious example. Proctortrack is an online proctoring software which school force the students to download and use. It collects, from their own privacy policy:

* Name and Address

* Zip Code

* Photograph of identity document, such as a driver’s license

* Photograph of you

(Note: it needs a scan of your face from three angles.)

* Telephone Number

* Usernames and Passwords

* Name of the Test Sponsor(s)

* Employment information

* E-mail address

* Test submissions

* Screen-captures

* Audio and video recordings of you taking tests and the test-room environment

* Biometric data, including biometric identifiers (such as scans of hand or knuckles) and biometric information (such as knuckle, face, or keystroke patterns)

* Government-issued identification number (if required, or as included in the identity document you provide)

Why does it need all this information? This is yet another example of a shitty company "forgetting" to pay for security and the consumers (who don't even have a choice to not use the software) have to pay.

Certainly some people are in a worse situation than others in many different ways. However, I'm not sure what employers are supposed to do right now other than to be sensitive to the challenges many people are facing. It's not like a $1K stipend for equipment (or whatever) is going to solve small apartments, kids learning at home, partners on Zoom calls all day, etc.

In general, I think employers should provide some sort of outside-home working space once practical, at least for employees who didn't sign up to work remotely.

A core assertion in the article is demonstrably fake. Biden did not pressure Ukraine to fire a prosecutor that was investigating Burisma. It's something Trump has repeated countless times and something that's been proven false countless times, but the Post still stated it as fact in the article.

Besides, the burden of proof applies here. "You can't prove it's not fake" is not a sensible approach. The burden is on the accuser to prove that the story is true, and the Post story does not do that.

> Allowing Free speech still is the hill I'd like to die on

At this rate it will be the hill that the civilization dies on. The whole "absolute free speech is a sacrosanct human rights for everyone" is an ideal that simply would not scale with the 21st century civilization. Most users around here grew up firmly believing that value, and it is further reinforced by American/Western exceptionalism, so I can see how this comment will be very negatively received.

But we can all agree that freedom isn't free, at one point in the future the cost would be so high that the whole civilization would be facing a "give me freedom or give me death" moment. I can't predict whether that moment will come in the form of an anti-science misinformation campaign during a pandemic that is far more serious than even Covid or a mentally deranged, conspiracy theory supporting leader who has full control of the nuclear arsenal, but that moment will come one day.

The second law of thermal dynamics applies to more than just physical systems, entropy also plays similar role in a complex society that is getting ever more complex. Before our species can attain the ability to modularize our own society through interplanetary colonization to ensure survival, we have to face the very uncomfortable truth that we have to put in more rules and checks into our existing society to ensure the entropy doesn't snowball out of control too fast. That means we have to put everything on the table and re-exam all of our values, because there is no value to speak of in a dead world.

The unfortunate thing is it's very difficult to have this conversation, even with very intelligent people, without everyone getting emotional. After all a lot of these beliefs and values are something we hold very dear, and maybe that is the ultimate tragedy of our world.

I can promise you that the major tech companies have no shortage of people in Washington preaching the benefits their companies provide.
