i was with you back in the 90s, but ive observed the open communication of the internet not going at all well. forums that don’t censor always turn into cesspools. HN censors, yet you are here.
The article explains basically nothing.
I think that twitter crossed a big line by using phrasing reserved for malware and the likes for a legitimate and harmless web page.

It was naked partisanship, plain and simple. Tech companies may be heading for their game of thrones "power is power" moment.
For every real bot there are probably 10 people accused of being bots because the accuser can't cope with people who disagree with them. In this respect 'bot' has become the new 'troll.'
You might use indoor maps if you had more with better accuracy and relevance. For one thing this might help with finding where the vacuum bot got stuck and why.
Corporations tricked the average citizen into thinking infowars and wikileaks are credible journalism sources and people like you claim its free speech but its the societal equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater

It is a fun read.

But what we really need (to convert this to science) is to measure the objective metrics. For example, measure the number of articles in [insert social network name] for claims that contradict established scientific laws (let's say, physics). I know it'll be more difficult to do for economy or sociology, but at least with physics we might have a large body of well established and experimentally confirmed facts.
With the Fastly provider, you cannot create and define lifecycle on an ACL at the same time. Trying it will make the plan blow up. So you have to split it into one commit, plan/apply it, and then do another. If you tear down the entire system with a Terraform destroy, and try it from the ground up - it will fail. This makes testing with something like Terratest nearly impossible, as it will require multiple plan/applies in a row to get the environment up - and it's hard to determine what failures are retryable and aren't.

This sounds far from optimal to me.
Politicians turning social media sites into publication houses holding them accountable for content on their platforms. Politicians can now control the narrative by penalizing social media sites for non compliance. Social media sites have their moats widen.

canon seems to be the company that broke the standstill here, from what i can see[1]. companies like Hero, Sony, & others responded. i might be wrong here. but this is definitely

agreed that the logitech webcams situation has gone on for too long. most phones have way better cameras. in fact, many Linux users & mac users have been using phones for webcams for a while now[2][3]. With great onboard hardware encoding & solid wifi, these can be even more appealing solutions to what other dedicated devices like photography cameras & webcams provide. Everyone else is, simply, less willing & able to be flexible.

I didn't claim we know nothing, just vague. I'm aware of seismic surveys, even trying to use neutrino-observatories to look through.

We can't really predict when a volcano will erupt with what force. Same for when, where and why with earth quakes. That's much more accessible and of concern to us, yet we can't. Because our understandings are vague! Got it?
I researched this a lot because I noticed companies I had intimate knowledge of had any sub-4 star review disappear. I detailed the practices in another comment further down;

The Galileo Principle. If you and everybody else is trying to silence something. You probably are on the wrong side of history.
So there was a classic bug in the game NetHack where there was indeed a comment indicating there should be a fall through. Then somebody added a new case, and the fall through now went to the wrong place. But since the comment said it was supposed to fall through, nobody reported the bug.

Huh, that's interesting. At the moment it's still useful for being one of the few sites not full of recruiter spam, but I guess the star rating is no longer valid.
When PR is strategically relevant, the official explanation is a strategic move. So, yes, you should pay attention in this case, even if it's not the whole story.
Luckily the Replicator 2 and 2X were when MakerBot was still trying (or pretending) to be open source. The hotends were standard-ish MK8 (or 10). Everything was pretty serviceable on them as long as you didn’t need to fix the motherboard.

The printers after that switched to the new hotends that are not user serviceable. It boggles my mind why any home user or tinkerer would ever sign up for that crap.

BUT...

My brother in law teacher, who teaches various middle school classes and groups use them. I asked why they would waste so much money and he had a response that made it all make sense to me. He doesn’t have time to keep them all running all the time (like we had to do with the old ones) and when one goes down he gets replacement parts from MB at a discount, slaps it in, and they’re up and running again. Apparently the latest ones are fairly reliable and it doesn’t happen all that often either.

So I guess I would sum it up as not for me, but I could see why some would.

I feel an urge to note that ubuntu server is a decent operating system.

We use it everywhere in my current place of employment and are very satisfied with it.

(maybe it's because we deploy servers using pxe — it makes good ubuntu installs, with no ads in motd & no snapd)
they clearly cannot though. example: the spread of qanon.

and if you think that is real, then the example is everyone who think qanon is absurd.
The Washington Post tried to verify the authenticity of the claims made by the blocked article... and so far they have found ZERO evidence supporting the story:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/14/hunter-bi...

This bit, in particular, suggests that the blocked article actually deserves to be blocked:

> The New York Post published PDF printouts of several emails allegedly taken from the laptop, but for the “smoking-gun” email, it shows only a photo made the day before the story was posted, according to Thomas Rid, the author of “Active Measures,” a book on disinformation. “There is no header information, no metadata.” The Washington Post has not been able to independently verify or authenticate these emails, as requests to make the laptop hard drive available for inspection have not been granted.

EDIT: After some thought, I flagged the OP, because the more we upvote or comment on any story about the original blocked article, the more free exposure it gets -- which is exactly what the author of the blocked article wants. I hope the mods delete or hide this thread.
I personally do not engage in activities which would attract NSA attention. I am a lot more scared of an average malware which soo abundant on Windows and even MacOS (yep, had fix friend's Mac, which had malware on it).
The Murdoch news empire has fluctuated between 5 and 6 on that scale for as long as I can remember.

Not trying to excuse Facebook and Twitter's behavior here, but let's not let social media become a scapegoat while News Corp continues to run rampant.

Wonder if this (Chinese citizen push for democracy, individual liberties, care for the environment etc.) will come to unfold as a kind of 'dam break' wave of rapid change over a slow-moving change where nodes of conformity are squashed by the collective.

FUCK, you might think it's funny, but I literally work with one senior developer (10+ years experience in pure Java). He write code like that, during review insists this is OK because he's been writing such code for over a decade! I inherited this project after he moved to another country and is not legally to work remotely for company in the UK. He has permissions to override jenkins+sonarqube, so he merges code without test coverage. His code has literally 0 tests. Only today I was rewriting code like:

if(i == 1) {}
else if(b == true){}
else if(s == "string") {}
else if(response.status() == Status.OK){}
else if(hereIsARecursiveMethodAlwaysReturningFalse()){}
... 3 more

notice each `if` block has different variable of different type!
This section of the docs has some examples: https://neon-lang.dev/docs/overview.html

It seems from the article that the noses were broken more than a thousand years before Christ, so I'm not sure a Christian perspective could offer much.
It's censorship that benefits their power structure or preferred power structure. It's easy to demand freedoms when others have them and you are fighting to gain them. Once that freedom or power has been achieved, some simply turn out to have not been concerned about gaining it for everyone but just for themselves and their group. Talk of fairness wasn't genuine, it was a means to a end for them to gain what they wanted with no concern for everyone else.

The real folly in all of this is the assumption that these tools will always be in their hands and will never end up turned against them. History shows that this is almost always a poor assumption and that the reversal of power often happens both sooner and faster than ever imagined.
Can you give some examples of this type of job done flawlessly? i.e. where all bad actors are stopped and no good actors are hurt in the process
If you have family, work from home is great...sometimes. It depends on the people. Sometimes small children, or even adults, are better able to cope with you being occasionally gone, than with you being there, but don't bother them. You could end up either being continually interrupted, or else having to say some variant of "stay away from me" to a loved family member. Neither is a good situation.

Not to mention that some people, for financial reasons, must live in places far too small to spend their waking lives in along with their sleeping lives.
So dimissive, people selected who aligned with their needs.

Their vote is as valid as yours.
What twitter does has nothing to do with the NY Posts' free speech. Just as NYP is free to say whatever they want, Twitter is free to silence it on their platform. Freedom of speech and the first amendment is to restrain the federal government from prohibiting speech. That is the hill to die on, as it protects twitter's right to do what it wants to do with its platform.

An orthogonal issue is social platform monopoly or oligopoly, and that we need more options and better competition.
> And even that is a horrible experience because the iPad keyboard doesn’t allow key repeat, making vim a terrible experience. That used to be an issue anyway. Maybe they’ve fixed it.

Isn't Vim the editor with the least reliance upon key repeat? Hardcore Vimmers would argue if you are using key repeat, you're doing it wrong.

What do you use key repeat for in Vim?
a5100 on macOS 10.14.6 does not work too. Skype and Photo Booth do not detect camera at all, Google Meet sees video source but it contains only test pattern. I also tried to make it work on Windows VM with USB passthrough but no luck and in the end, just like you, I went with cheap capture card and that works great.
yeah it's a land use problem of our own creation. Cities have banned small supermarkets in residential neighbourhoods and only allowed big box stores on the outskirts.

The end result is 'food deserts' where one has to have a car to drive out to get food.
Incredibly disappointed. I had never seen such a concerted effort to hide information in the USA. Is this how it feels to live under the CCP’s control?
The word 'bot' is overloaded unfortunately. It means today, both a robot as before, and also, a person who is unwilling or unable to have a normal conversation. Real people are 'bots' too today, when they don't actually talk to other people but only parrot the same points repeatedly. They may as well be robots as far as we can tell from their text online.

> 10 people accused of being bots because the accuser can't cope with people who disagree with them.

If those 10 people aren't really talking, though, then I would consider them bots too. If they are stating one point, over and over, and refusing to listen to others or change their minds about anything, then...they're bots.
It seems unlikely that it would never be implemented. The benefits are pretty clear, and even though it isn't easy they're no fundamental roadblocks. Lasercomms has been done before, just not with hundreds/thousands of nodes in the network.
What's the alternative?

During the 90s information traveled slower and those with large audiences took the time to research reports before sharing it with the world. And if it turns out that they were wrong, the correct information can be spread across those few platforms to everyone.

Now, misinformation can be created way faster than it can be discredited and there are a massive number of surfaces where the misinformation can live without being corrected.

I generally don't bad-mouth previous employers, as it risks limiting your career. However, the only review I ever left on Glassdoor was of the most toxic software job I ever had. The company basically had nothing but dozens of 1 and 2 star reviews. A few months later I checked again and there were about 10 brand new vague 5-star reviews that were all submitted within a day of each other. One of them even said right in the review something like "boss told us all to write 5 star reviews, so here's mine: This place is horrible."

Just checked the company again, and my review has since been removed (but some other 1 star reviews are still there).

I can understand being wary of social engineering and scams, and at Google’s scale it’s almost impossible to imagine how many problems they have to deal with every day, but I think that’s an excuse to duck out of solving the problem because it’s not sexy enough for a Google employee to get a promotion for solving. Google wants to provide

Here’s the reality. Cable companies have methods of verifying their customers identity when they deal with support requests for private services. Banks have a very good verification process. Phone providers use tools like pin codes and other methodology (see https://www.removemyphone.com/learn/prevent-your-phone-numbe... for instance) to solve this problem. Domain name services (even Godaddy and the like) have figured out how to largely solve this verification problem despite their numerous other shady business practices.

Are you telling me that Google with their many geniuses can’t find a technical approach to dealing with this? We have multi-factor authentication and other tools. People are willing to pay money for human support.

I can’t believe that Google can’t figure out some means of providing this. Their refusal to me is one of the most evil business practices on the Internet while they pretend that they’re the paragon of virtue. It’s really sick to me and hopefully this case is a wake up call to at least one Google employee how backward and customer unfriendly their overall practices are.
Outsourcing used to not work. But now it might. I'm more than a little bit concerned.
I think just publishing the event without posting the email leaves enough of a trail for another CEO to reach out and ask "Hey, we're going to work with XYZ and know he used to be on your board. Any advice for us?"

Yep, bank syncing is going to launch by the end of the year.

It's tough. I've wrestled with this for over a year. Bank syncing has to come from my server, which means by doing so you are giving us access to your transactions. No banking provider has any way for clients to contact them directly. I think this is possible with the right encryption, but nobody is working on it. I've given this feedback to Plaid but they don't care.

The majority of people need the convenience of syncing though. So I plan to launch it, and it'll go through my server, and I plan to communicate clearly the privacy that you are giving up by doing so.
incorrect. you're conflating action with speech.

engaging in fraud is not speech. If I told you that I owned a hedge fund and would make you 10x returns, that's speech. If I take your money with the promise of 10x returns and enroll you in a scheme, that's an action.
Normal everyday life can be seen in statistics like child mortality, obesity, health care coverage, percentage of prison populations, number of gun deaths, prevalence of lead paint and piping, education stats and so on and so on.

I know United States is large and varied country and for some people in some places it's wonderful, but I'm sure same can be said about China or most other countries.
IMO, all connectors have issues, some more, some less.

USB-A has proven remarkably good, despite the "insert 3-times" problem, and it's now fairly large size.

Lightning is ok -- I have found that cables lose their "snap in" ness after a while, the arcing limits the connector lifetime, and I've snapped the tongue off a few (cheap) cables.

USB-B Micro has been pretty good for me, despite the "insert 5 times" problem.

USB-C has advantages of "insert-once", and smaller size, but (in my one-off anecdata) can have issues with losing its snug-ness over time. I thought it was notable, since it was with a MacBook -- so not something badly engineered, or cheap, or whatever.

I guess my view is that it's not a panacea, and arguably, on a par with things it's replacing.
Wouldn't they, as a company, be incentivized to fight desperately to avoid potentially setting a costly precendent?
That's why this election is so important. It will chart our paths for next 100 years.
I researched this a lot because I noticed companies I had intimate knowledge of had any sub-4 star review disappear.

I believe you are correct that Glassdoor wont explicitly take “cash” to remove a bad review. However they do have internal costs if you threaten them legally, which can compel a removal.

I detailed more of the practices in another comment further down;

The nature of vehicles is changing as well in a not great way. Trucks and SUVs are dramatically more dangerous to pedestrians than cars.
I completely agree, but I think the days might be numbered.

In Lightroom what you're describing, with the easy to work with plain files, is called Lightroom Classic. It's still supported alongside regular Lightroom, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it gets deprecated at some point. It also only works on desktop.

What is now called regular Lightroom requires Adobe cloud to sync between machines instead of letting you manage your own files & syncing, and is the only way to sync between the newer iPad version of Lightroom or Photoshop and the desktop.
> in the former you're generally not allowed to bring an attorney

That only applies to individuals.

Corporations are not only allowed, but in fact required to be represented by an attorney in court. Even small claims. Corporations do not have pro se representation rights, and only an attorney can represent another person.
WFH is fine for me. WFH without my usual extensive travel and without the ability to otherwise mix up my schedule is tiresome. And I have a good home setup and have been working remote to greater or lesser degrees for around 15 years or so.

Let’s not do that. I’m incredibly appreciative of OPs transparency here. As a person who is susceptible to the same degree of stress and mental health toil, let’s not make the story about the investor but rather around the stresses of being a CEO.
It's good to hear we can't publish any leaked information about Trump's tax returns, re the NY Times, a story Twitter intentionally allowed to run at max distribution, along with dozens of prominent anti-Trump stories that ended up being baseless over the last four years which the media happily concocted.

Everyone here knows exactly what's going on and it's rotten as can be.
That's kinda unfair though. She was jaywalking in the dark far from any crosswalk on a main street. On average 16 pedestrians are killed every day in the United States. While the car could have done better, it's not really clear that she would have survived if the car was driven by a human.

I switched to Ubuntu after many years on Windows. Lasted about 3 years, - the UI was just not the same. Then I went to MacOS. The MacOS UI is great, but the runtime for C++, various software packages is cumbersome. Not to mention the absence of a CUDA environment in MacOS (MacBook pro)! Now, I have a hybrid setup: all UI is done on MacOS, all runtime is done on Ubuntu desktop. PyCharm remote server (Ubuntu desktop in my case) works like a charm.
The rate has slowed down from "half the time" to "once or twice per year" for me personally.

I was born in late 70's in Czechoslovakia so I remember the communist regime with its propaganda. I'm all for free speech but when I see propaganda I want to smash it with a steel tube which probably makes me pro-censorship.
