In a way, the New York Post can do exactly this:

These media corporations really should be paying attention to the changing landscape of open web standards. Their entanglement with corporate social platforms for eyeballs will be their own undoing.
Twitter isnt required to be impartial, they are allowed to editorialize to their preference like all the media does. There's a certain anomaly in the US that doesn't provide other media with the same legal protections, but that's something to work on
I don't think that's accurate. Looking at the patent application (courtesy of klyrs below, https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2017049261A1/en), it is indeed an earring that fits into a person's pierced ears. The speaker reaches up to and maybe into the ear canal, but unliked bud earphones, they are not held in place by the speaker.

In the linked pdf, see pages 1, 37, 38, 39 and 41 for diagrams. In the background, they also say "a headset apparatus in which the audio device extends through the
piercing in the wearer's ear."
That's "greenwashing". It's everywhere.

Optimistically I think that's just the process of rethinking everything and retooling every single industry and changing deeply ingrained consumer habits to tackle our enormous environmental problems. This "marketing spin" in the iPhone 12 keynote is a commitment that paves the way for truly environmental friendly products, behaviour and legislation.
It sucks that happened to you. Especially since different arms of the company have actually adopted that blacklist and whitelist should be deprecated ( https://9to5google.com/2020/06/12/google-android-chrome-blac...).

Google's a big beast, and it's not as homogeneous as people from the outside looking in sometimes assume. Hell, I'm pretty sure nobody really knows everything that's going on in it.
They did, the cable which comes with the new phones is USB-C on the charge end.

Forcing an ecosystem of about a billion devices to throw away all their cables and accessories isn't environmentally responsible, however you want to spin it.
Depending on how you interpret the last episode, you absolutely did. And, in my opinion, it got a great ending regardless of personal interpretation.
Yeah, I kind of wish they had added something like:

"These are a list of companies that would have been improved with a nice dirt nap in 2008! If only we hadn't bailed them out..."
This is even worse outside US where Netflix doesn't have the license for most of its catalog. The recommendations are 90% Netflix originals, 10% decade old or older movies, and 1 movie from last year. And the catalog is... the same.
To the point that you can easily find a USB-C port on all their iPhone, iPad and other devices yes ! Wait...
Just give me the fucking mp3 or flac files, subscriptions should be advertised as radio, not a music "library". I've been bitching about the industry burning down my shelves for years now... it's unfathomable how much people rely on these stupid streaming services.

That said, I'd still gladly pay for the music discovery, I just have started to feel cheated out of my money over the years doing so. Should I really be paying $10/month to listen to the same songs I listen to every other month. I don't go on a music collection binge all that often you know.

And then poof, it's gone.
> It's a newspaper collaborating with the president's personal lawyer

The President is still allowed to tweet almost anything he wants, so this is still very selective censorship.
> past incidents [...] vast range of topics

You mean gender representation. There was one incident.
because they could be verified.
It's probably also amplifying the story.
Do you smoke anything? I quit smoking everything because of similar symptoms and it all went away after a month of coughing heavier than when I smoked. Try going “ha!”, “hoah!”, “huh!”. Any help?
>I think you are very confused about how availability is tracked. If a class of users is always getting an error this would be investigated.

Oh, please, you are confused. I worked at Google, most teams just don’t have metrics like this.

While I don’t think it’s acceptable, reality is that it’s expensive to compute such metric, i.e. you need to slice you monitoring stream per each user, has privacy implications, and often it’s unclear what action should be taken.
That's increasingly not true with the single exception of the iPhone (and even it now uses USB-C for the adapter and Qi for the wireless charge protocol). Every other new device (iPads, laptop and desktop) is 100% USB-C. And, again, you don't even strictly need a lightning cable for your iPhone for most scenarios (airport charging type scenarios used to be the big exception in olden times).

Some reviewers are guessing that iPhones will drop the wired charge port entirely at some point, so will become a moot point.

And as for squeezing customers, switching away from the Lightning port would "squeeze" quite a few iPhone customers with lightning cables and docks and such strewn around their house.

I just wish Apple had included a puck-type Qi charger and cable in the box. Could have kept the box pretty slim.
Well my parents didn't do that and I still got a skateboard.
- Colin Kaepernick
- They've been trying to cancel Planned Parenthood for as long as I can remember
- The tea party movement was a frequent practicer of cancelling other conservative voices (e.g. charges of being RINOs)
- Trump and his base have canceled many conservatives who did not like Trump
- It feels like the whole "fake news" thing is a form of cancel culture
The story headline that was coordinated and gaslight was "trump didnt pay any tax". Everything else was anecdotal, I didnt look into this specific matter because I was rolling my eyes from the start. If they cant be honest about the main story I'm not following them for the rest of the allegations.
It's not the same price because it's not the same device.

Did Apple increase or decrease their profit per iPhone on this round? Y'know, I have no idea. I do know that trying to come to a conclusion about it on the basis of not including a charger and headphones is impossible.
The organizations are not non-profits in the sense that any reasonable person ignorant of the particular tax laws would expect.

The type of "non-profit" status the NFL has is as a pass-through organization. It takes money in, then redistributes it to its for-profit stakeholders, which then pay taxes. The "non-profit" status is merely to avoid double-taxation of the very much for-profit teams.

They don't get any of the benefits you would expect of a real "non-profit", like tax-deductible charitable contributions.
It would be immediately obvious if they were a poor quality fake though. Like if someone typed it up in Word and exported it to PDF they wouldn’t be able to produce the DKIM signature.
For a company discriminating in favor of women, it sure paid out a lot of money for mishandling sexual harassment.

Extraordinary times calls for extraordinary actions. The coming US election is no small deal, and we have seen in past elections how bad actors have been using social media to undermine democracy (including but not limited to influencing elections). You really can’t blame Twitter and Facebook here for taking the more radical step against an obvious smear campaign that blatantly fails the smell test. I’m sure if this story turns out to be true, we will hear about it from more reliable media, at which point the social media companies can offer an apology and release the links to this article.
I had a particularly bad bout of insomnia this year. I recall one night just lying in bed and analyzing my entire life in my head, all my actions and mistakes. Oddly the only other time I've managed to stay so fixated on that topic was during a moderately negative trip.
Your products look like Notion, but are they better?
I dont understand what we are arguing abt anymore. You can see the Biden campaign's response in the above and draw your own conclusions
Evidently Twitter feels that gives him special privileges, but they've been flagging his posts as possible misinformation for months. Clearly they're trying to find a way to navigate a difficult situation. I think they should be erring toward better control of disinformation, certainly not being more laissez-faire about a problem that is destroying the world.
Hmm, if you put it like that. Yes, I guess that’s how it works :/

Ultimately overtime is paid, but the first 45 hours every month are ‘included’ in the salary.
I remember making the observation a few years back that when the MacBooks went USB-C, they marked the first time that, as far as I know, Apple ever shipped a machine that had no proprietary ports on it... and it was so ironic that people (including, I'd note, on HN) were really angry about it. I still get into arguments with people insisting that it was all just a plot for Apple to force you to buy dongles.
Assuming that whoever bought it did think / say that sentence to begin with. A lot of the time the purchase is driven by the desire to find self-actualization, to borrow from Maslow. Even if it's driven by a need for esteem, who's to say that's not a worthwhile goal?
Yeah the Hexcells games are great. It's much like the OP's in puzzle form.

Thank you for the question!
We do more than just redact records by erasing names and all demographic information. We actually remove specific pieces of information from all records, such as medications, lab results, diagnoses, etc. and put those into separate files that contain similar information from numerous other records. Thus the only thing researchers see are spreadsheets with a bunch of numbers, medications, and dates that include information from, at minimum, thousands of anonymous contributors around the world who have joined forces to advance science and healing. As a result, the information is totally anonymous. We realize there can be concerns that data in general can never be totally anonymized, but a combination of our rigorous de-identification process, aggregation across (at minimum) thousands of people across the world, and strict laws forbidding any attempt by researchers to re-identify data make it extraordinarily difficult if not virtually impossible to trace data back to any individual or clinic.
Yes, it is. It's obvious bullshit, but I would always defend people's right to circulate any bullshit they want.
Isn’t the entire point of 230 to allow platforms to be moderated without being treated as publishers?
In typical Google fashion, there is a semi-automated system for taking snapshots of employees' email history and workstation disk images when discovery demands it.

The snapshot feature is even sold as part of ~~G Suite~~ Google Workspace under the Vault product.

As `shadowgovt` pointed out: Its a judge and the lawyers who get to decide what does and doesn't get covered by the process.
It is favor politically unsavory right now to acknowledge any good capitalism has done. You’re going to be downvoted because people have been trained to react to what you said like you just suggested slavery wasn’t too bad.
I'd love to take a super lightweight version of something made by the authors of https://www.bitwig.com.
I think at this point it might be easier for Twitter and Facebook to just provide a list of pre-approved messages you're allowed to send to their platforms.
The TMS9918 is as simple as it is beautiful. A couple of years ago I wrote an MSX emulator in Java for fun. A pretty accurate TMS9918 emulator took just a couple of hours to write with the original technical handbook at hand, in 561 lines of Java code.

I'm even less of an expert but here is an example: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a42e/022f812a7b5c464cf83454...
I wasn’t really trying to prove that point, I also didn’t think it needs proving. But your point somewhat does it I think. There are many examples in tech specifically over the last couple of decades on how free unregulated competition was the reason why we had accelerated development, lower cost, and “democratizations” of tools and information. As long as there’s no regulation preventing others from coming up with a better solution (however “better” is defined), there’s no reason why others can’t come up with a viable alternative. Friendster -> MySpace -> Facebag. IE -> FF and Chrome. Nokias -> iPhone and co, and so on.
Trivial anecdotal counter-examples that you can come up with in 1 second are not established, general, consensus-supported, empirically-gathered, peer-reviewed facts.

Since you are focusing so much on facts, let me ask a simple question:

If the facts actually supported the hypothetical line of argument I proposed, would you consider the publication of an anti-conservative manifesto to be acceptable workplace behaviour, under your moral framework, and under the laws of the state of California?

Please don't try to re-frame this question by focusing on whether or not the facts support the line of argument. For the sake of argument, suppose that they did.
This time they went too far though. Banning Alex Jones? He's a crackpot. Banning Mila Yannipopoulus? He trolled people. Censoring Trump tweets? Ok... Censoring the very much anticipated October surprise involving Hunter Biden? No way.

I don't think anyone either on the left or the right thinks this move was a good idea. It will just make the Hunter Biden story blow up even harder.
Yep, they managed to convince me not to order Quest 2. And I already own Quest 1 and Index. Hope Valve is going to ship stand-alone headset, at least their incentives are aligned.
"We care so much about the environment, we'll use two packages instead of just one now."
I kind of did the same.
>an activity that causes brain damage for entertainment qualifies.

To be fair, I think it's more about character development than entertainment at the lower levels. But if you reframed your argument that there's no need for athletic activities with high levels of brain damage risk for the sake of character development, I'd be inclined to agree.
>NYP is pretty obviously smearing for a major civil event here

What makes this "obviously smearing"?
It'll get flagged, too, thereby reinforcing the point even more.
>American high-schools are some of the most toxic environments you could ever be in,

I appreciate the sentiment here, but what??? I went through the biggest high school in my state. It was a meat grinder. But it absolutely pales in comparison to the nasty experiences I had in corporate America. I could write a book on all the nasty legally questionable shit I saw.
I have a cheesy tagline for you:

"Are these earphones or earrings? Yes!"
Is that Cohen when you say Trump’s lawyer? Do you have a source for that out of interest? It smells a bit like that National Review article Cohen planted about Cruz’s dad killing JFK or something in 2016.
Is there anyone using gitconnected.com? I use it to build my own resume in a technical way. At the same time, I could show my notable projects on Github.

Does Windows Explorer still have a built in FTP mode?
I think I first used it in Windows 98.
And it was still there in Windows 7.

It could even do upload which I've never seen a browser offer.
He published a video (still on YouTube) with a unifying message after the death of George Floyd. Jack Dorsey on Twitter deleted it on the basis of copyright claims. If copyright had been truly infringed, it would have been taken down from YouTube.

Twitter is just an extreme example of a social media platform acting like a publisher and applying blatant censorship.
> all their other iPhones

Take a look at iPhone SE's price before and after October 13th.
The better comparison was the zaibatsu (which was actually legitimized by the emperor [a Shinto God] at the time)
Twitter isn't required to be impartial, but you'd think they'd want to avoid openly painting themselves as lying hypocrites. If they are going to censor news they don't like, they'd be better off just censoring it rather than putting on the patently false charade of pretending they have a standard which is being violated. A simple, "we reserve the right to remove any and all content posted" would suffice, instead of pretending to be impartial arbiters of truth.
depreception!
Twitter Blocks Users from Linking to New York Post’s Hunter Biden Report
Reminds me of what the Bajorans wore on Deep Space 9.
The description of Hyperblocks leaves much to be desired. Are they just shape-generic blocks?
Sorry but I don't think engaging with you will result in the interesting conversation that HN strives to achieve. I'm not trying to dismiss you outright, and I'm sure there are a few incidents that match your theories but that you are extrapolating to a trend that doesn't exist but has been reinforced by Fox News etc.

Anyway, best of luck. Thanks for being civil.
> But, even if it is, it's not the role of Facebook to decide it is or isn't, when it is not verify-ably false. Instead they should just elevate critics of the article/scoop like the article you linked.

Facebook will do whatever provides the greatest return for their shareholders - they have no duty to Constitutional values. That is the only thing that will drive their decision making, so obviously they decided the long term risks of letting Trump abuse their platform with propaganda outweighs the short-term blow back from conservatives, who appear likely to be out of power in 4 months anyways.

If the public wants a role in how Facebook should handle this type of thing, then Congress needs to stop play-acting and starting writing legislation.

Since you asked, we have a commercial zero-trust product very similar to this. As a quick comparison: In our architecture, the worker node (extender) only needs outbound direct access to contact the master node. Unlike many of our competitors, we promote the usage of ephemeral certificates instead of secrets management or minting. We support a number of identity providers and dynamic host directories. Connections can be formed either with native clients or web browser (SSH, RDP, HTTPS) with session recording for auditing purposes. Check it out here https://www.ssh.com/products/privx/

My biggest problem is that it is being facilitated by the state and, on top of that, associated with education.
Actually, Twitter has one massive thing to lose: Section 230. Already, senators are taking this as the perfect reason to repeal or reform 230, and that would directly impact twitter.

Remember how there were hearings about 230 just two weeks ago? Twitter just shot themselves and their arguments for 230 in the foot with this. Which again begs the question from an investor's point of view: What did you expect was going to happen? Did you seriously not think this would affect the 230 debate?

That is the most refreshingly honest description of progressive taxation I've seen in a while.

In other words: progressive taxation destroys wealth creation.
i mean this is kind of elementary. You wouldn't go work for a church if you wanted to preach atheism. Its against the immediate interest of the company which you re supposed to be working for, so by definition you are a deadweight employee
Just based on MacBook vs. iPhone sales numbers, Apple sells 40 iPhones for every laptop. Most iPhone owners don't have an

It would be noteworthy if a company didn't restrict their employees from publicly talking about legal and regulatory matters. What they're doing here is standard practice.

Average employees aren't in a position to speak accurately about antitrust matters anyway. If they misspeak, it will certainly be used against the company regardless of the actual merit.
>You appear to be saying that the cancellation decision was made in a vacuum, without considering viewership. I don't believe this to be true.

No. Viewership was low, so it got cancelled. If it got cancelled before airing then a low viewership would be a result from that. But that's usually not the sequence.

If that is the catch-22 you could apply this to a 4th season aswell. Or 5th.

Shows don't get renewed during or before a season. At least most of them don't, so it's always a gamble.
I wager the majority has used ftp, but most of them sporadically and without even realizing they were using ftp.

Like doing some research for a school project, googling, getting a link to a pdf document on some ftp, clicking the link. Or clicking the download link on some website, and the file is downloaded using ftp.

These things used to be very common, but are less common now.
That trick is probably less likely to work this second time around.

Not that it has stopped Pompeo from teasing more Hillary emails in recent weeks, of course.
TNG had the right number of multi-episode arcs and recurring characters (especially Q). Also every season finale was a cliffhanger two-parter with the first episode of the next season. Unlike TOS, it felt like things that happened in the episodic TNG episodes (heh) actually mattered in the larger world, even when it wasn't directly a part of a story arc.

DS9 is my favorite though, partially because of the story arc. It was also done quite brilliantly, with the story arc always being present, but not really solidifying into something substantial right away. This along with Babylon 5 were amazing. Prior to these shows, the only television sci-fi I had ever seen with a story arc was Robotech. Battlestar Galatica (original) had something of an arc, but was more like TNG.
Netscape Communicator perhaps?
Really confused why right-wing disinformation is trending on Hacker News
you know what, that's absolutely true. But you have a better chance of remaining online with your wrongthink than by remaining on a platform such as Twitter, Facebook, etc.
