Unless you have a factual error you'd like to report, citing the 1619 project is a tell that you don't like it's conclusions, and anything you dont like is "fake news".
> I've reached the conclusion that this is not about censorship. It's really about attempting to force ideas into the definition of "the mainstream".

Of course. That's why the people crying about the NY Post article said nothing when Twitter was threatening to suspend accounts for hoping Trump would die of COVID. It's why they're fine when conservative content gets algorithmically boosted but nut when it gets penalized.

I'm happy to have a discussion about what the boundaries of acceptable speech should be. But it always gets cast as a discussion about censorship and freedom of speech, when really the goal is to shift those boundaries to a place they find acceptable.

Yes, the point is that it's often unsafe to eat a food item that has gone mouldy, even after removing the visibly mouldy bits.

The implication of the "people used to die for no reason" line is that 'we always did x in the old days' isn't necessarily a good argument for the safety of x. The link between action and consequence is often obscure, especially for the class of actions that usually turn out fine.

While that isn't from first principles, omitting much of the solid state physics and electronics, I think the abstraction layer is low enough to be comparable to schematic entry of logic for FPGAs.

* Falling back on a non-monotonic clock but calling it monotonic[3]

* Another sketchy shellout[4] that calls a bunch of scripts with trivial interpolation/injection bugs[5]. It's not clear if the arguments passed to those scripts are remotely controllable, but it's sketchy.

I figure it doesn't make sense to commit to it if they can do it without committing, but not a bad thing to give it a go. I figure

- most ideas are bad,

- judgement is a crapshoot but improves the odds up to 50/50,

- trying and either rejecting or committing (or going bankrupt) gets the odds of the better solution prevailing in the market up to 60-odd percent.

Plenty of confounding variables, lots of opportunity to get unlucky and draw the wrong conclusions (or just have your priors overrule weak evidence against them), but it's science and we haven't found anything better yet.

The main page copy seems misleading bordering on malicious:

> No bandwidth caps. No throttling. Stream all day, and download away.

Yes, no caps on the tunneled connection. But it will happily use up your home connection data caps with both your own and other people's traffic.

Then once you run an exit for long enough, your home network will get tor-like treatment from many CAPTCHAs and you'll be blocked from anything on cloudflare.

> FreePN never logs your IP or tracks your activity. (...) FreePN shields your data from prying eyes, giving you peace of mind.

FreePN doesn't log. But anyone running FreePN is welcome to do just that.

It's a perfect tool for that monitoring too. Tor browser at least has lots of extra protections. This one does not, so settig up a tunnel-to-tunnel routing node means you can listen to a lot of interesting things. (Without the liability of being a true exit node)
Public transportation is often less convenient. I've lived places where the hub-and-spoke bus model wound up taking longer than just walking from one end of the city to the other. How much is an extra half hour twice a day from a shorter commute worth to you? If nothing changes other than the public transportation infrastructure then I'm not sure that gap is easily bridged.

I'm curious why they don't make 3D models from the original drawings. Maybe they're lost or kept by the manufacturers? By only measuring existing parts, they wouldn't know the tolerances or loads and would have to kind of re-engineer that missing information.

Sure, but all we have to do is wait. Once a distributed platform finally takes off, I doubt we'll ever go back to centralized ones. I don't know how long it will take or how many platforms will rise and fall in the mean time, but it's just a matter of time.

If nobody is using your public transport, that usually means that it's crap, not that it's overfunded. The vast majority of functioning public transport systems (that people actually use!) are not profitable. That is perfectly fine, because a public transport system, like many other types of infrastructure, has many positive externalities.
Really? I don't see how that is so. Because an average car still weighs 3000 pounds. And 3000 moving pounds versus 200 moving pounds is still more than 10 times difference in energy.

I have always felt that the way humans share space with any kind of vehicle is perilous from a physics standpoint, relative to other risks in daily life. I actually think there will be a new type of city where they are separated by physical boundaries, levels and/or bridges etc.

You might enjoy Elizabeth Warren's proposal about designating "platform utilities": https://medium.com/@teamwarren/heres-how-we-can-break-up-big...

But that aside (and I think she's using "utility" in a slightly different way), I think it would be a huge mistake to say that our approach is to regulate Twitter (and Facebook, and so forth) as is. That just cements their oligopoly: either your regulation calls out these companies by name (and therefore needs to ensure they retain power to work), or it imposes a regulatory burden which makes it even harder for competitors to replace them. This would be a serious unforced error for people who think that Big Tech is run by their political/ideological opponents. It would also be a practical disaster (imagine government-regulated Twitter spam detection), and IMO it would reflect an abandonment of the ideal of liberty. Rather than providing some structural reason why we need to regulate Twitter, we'd be regulating them baed on their effects - that they did something we don't like, and we don't know how to stop it other than telling them to not do it. It feels like it violates the spirit (though probably not the letter) of the constitutional ban on bills of attainder.

A sibling comment points out the "natural monopoly" argument for regulating ISPs as utilities. That's an argument on structure (there can only be so many ISPs and there's a huge up-front cost to becoming competitive), not effect, and in fact the argument for Net Neutrality was that companies could act in unwanted ways in the future, not that they did.

Our fundamental model for Twitter should be that it's just a company, and it could be replaced by some other company, and if we think that's infeasible, that's the bug in the market that we should fix. We should not resign ourselves to some government-guided-Twitter monstrosity - either you get regulatory capture or you get a private company whose product priorities swing with every election. My personal thesis here is that Twitter is simply too big, and that companies should be barred from growing beyond a certain size (of revenue, employees, or some similar measure). We can break them up like we broke up the trusts of old, and in fact like the trusts of old, they'll probably generate more GDP broken up - without the giant incumbent distorting the market, there's a more meaningful and direct profit motive on each resulting piece as well as more room for innovation by new companies, and therefore more general room for economic growth. That would be regulating the structure of the market in a generic way, and it would specifically regulate it in a way that promotes the ability of the non-government parts of society to have primary responsibility in shaping society.

There is an alternative political model where the government is closely involved in making sure that social media is run in a way that promotes the society the people want (in the government's opinion). WeChat and Weibo run under this model. That model seems to be unpopular in the US (I recall something recently about trying to ban WeChat), and I hope we don't decide that they had it right all along.
If you only need it for a couple of runs, compared to gas, price of the car, maintenance, registration, and most importantly insurance, I would be surprised if you didn't come out ahead being a transit weekday commuter and a ride share user for all your edge cases in every city in the U.S.

The more relevant question is, what does this software offer that would make it worth taking on this risk?

For whatever values of 'this risk' you evaluate running this code to carry.

Arguing semantics with a prosecutor might be your idea of a good time, but that seems to me like the sort of thing I could do without. In any case, they may call this a VPN, but it isn't a VPN in the sense that term is normally used, and it certainly isn't even vaguely similar to that VPN connection you make to the office.

Your comparison is not even comparable to a legally agreed forfeiture as it was in this case. Bad snuck premise. Try again.

Taking a picture of people in public is perfectly legal yet it requires no permission. There are countless examples of where permission has nothing to do with legality or legitimacy. Please do your research and stop spreading misinformation about law.

As an Austinite it’s true. Dickey’s is pretty frowned upon here to the point that most locals refuse to eat there.

Modern solar inverters communicate with the grid operators, less modern ones follow the grid frequency.

Could you explain why corporations are responsible for everything on their platform if they police it to any extent?
Your analogy is entirely wrong. The equivalent to standing on a box on the street is hosting content on your own server, which anyone can still do. The equivalent of someone pulling you off your box is someone coming to your server rack and yanking the cables out, which Twitter is not doing.
It's not hacking to decrypt your own data. The argument is, and the precedent set by law supports, that failure to pay for and retrieve the device after a set period of time transfers ownership. It's basically the legal grounds of "finders keepers"

The argument that Twitter or FB need to restrict/block content is based on the idea that Twitter/FB built readership for "lunatics" in the first place.

Bu that argument doesn't apply here for two reasons:

1. The NY Post has existed in some form for 200 years, and has built its own reader base.

2. Twitter blocked even direct messages.
I had an older coworker who used to do this, and had no qualms eating moldy food. He had some advanced biology degrees and worked in a lab. When asked why he ate moldy food, he would reply "Most of the time the mold (some mold type) and is mostly harmless to people. The trouble is knowing what is and isn't ok to eat. Besides, I'm not letting safe food go to waste."

On the other hand, I knew a foreign student who disappeared from classes for 6 weeks. When asked about him, we were told that he had been in the hospital for some time because he had nearly died from eating moldy chicken. When he returned near the end of the semester he looked like a skeleton having lost more than 40 lbs on a super skinny frame.
10 message email chains aren't the only alternative. There can be a prominent "I need support" button that pops up a chat widget when clicked. Or a "chat with us about pricing" button that pops up the widget when clicked.

Instead what we get is an always-on button that takes up mobile screen real estate.
It doesn't. This is a pure excuse and it's a sad one. The NY Times posted financial information, which is actually illegal for whoever leaked it to divulge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVheQQ2sNM0

The tax leak was a big nothing burger too. If you read any accounts blog looking at the leaked information, nothing was really out of the ordinary for big real estate people. Did Trump use a lot of loopholes to avoid taxes? Yes, but everyone who makes over a million a year pays people to do this.

The Hunger Biden allegations are much much more serious. We're talking about a family member who was allegedly involved in key meetings with foreign states.
> deny people their civil liberties

Are you saying that a special immunity from prosecution, granted to particular businesses, is a civil liberty?

Or is this some kind of “freedom from being offended/misinformed” newspeak?

I can’t think of another interpretation where what I am proposing does anything but preserve civil liberties.
I will admit that aiding and abetting is a gray area, but we are all subject to the laws of countries that we decide to travel to or associate with. If it is true that Assange attempted to solicit classified information and did not simply act as a neutral publisher for a whistleblower, then charging him would fall pretty well in line with both the letter and spirit of the espionage act.
So, wait... Let me get this straight-- This is a p2p VPN, so, it basically routes other people's potentially illegal activities through your own IP address, so you can do the same over other people's IP addresses? And they don't even mention that fact on the front page? Talk about disingenuous...

Like, goddamn, VPNs aren't THAT expensive. Not compared to, IDK, a lawyer, or missing a day of work because you're in a jail cell, trying to explain to some cop that you installed a program on your computer that let other people you don't know do random stuff on the internet over your internet connection without your own knowledge or involvement, and you aren't complicit in any way...
I love the typo "efficienciencies" in the context of TFA, and hope it stays in there as a reminder of the anti-deduplicatory nature of content disaggregation.
For example, if a stop sign is on the same plane as the object that surrounds it, that's a strong signal that it is not a real stop sign but rather a projected or displayed one.

It's conceivable that in denser or older areas, signs are sometimes placed on structures because there isn't room for a pole.
> witch hunts maybe weren't as mainstream all over Europe as you might think

I didn't say they were. I didn't say all societies of that time had the same wrong mainstream beliefs as the Puritans. I just said they all had some wrong mainstream beliefs.

> the situation is certainly dire. I don't think it's far fetched to think that if we continue in business as usual, modern industrial civilization could be at risk.

I disagree (to be clear, I disagree about the "civilization could be at risk" part, I'm not saying I'm in favor of just continuing business as usual--I think there are certainly things we could and should do better). But I don't want to hijack the discussion into a debate about climate change and what we should do about it. My only point here is that there is significant disagreement on this point, and the various sides (there are more than two) can't all be right since they hold beliefs that are inconsistent with each other, so clearly some widely held belief in this area is wrong, we just have no consensus on which belief it is, so society as a whole can't make a correction.
