It has to be treated as criminal negligence when a platform applies its 'Terms of Use' or rule of conduct, selectively.

I think that will solve the problem.

Today, HN or Twitter can, selectively, diminish visibility of pro-conservative content and posts, while not applying the same scrutiny to the other side.

They can sit there and claim neutrality, ask for 'evidence' and so on.

But really, they are the ones that should be convincing courts that they were not partial, biased or selective in applying their Terms of Use.

That wouldn't answer the question. Searching a song that you remember from the past is nothing like listening to a song on YouTube and then immediately trying to sing it back to Google.
Why not put a protocol in the public domain and let service providers implement it, like email? Is there something about broadcast communication that makes impartiality or neutrality impossible? Even if the broadcast protocol is based on follow/subscribe interactions?

This is an interesting subject!
I've tried both. I ended up going with Tailscale because:

- Better throughput overall.

- better NAT holepunching. E.g. ZeroTier gives up entirely with "symmetric NAT" where each outbound connection gets a random source port, but Tailscale has a few extra tricks that it can try (including opening a whole bunch of outbound connections, trying ports at random, and hoping the birthday paradox will kick in, which I think is pretty cool.)

- But most of all, Tailscale didn't suffer from weird intermittent throughput/latency issues between different cloud providers the way that ZeroTier did. Sometimes my machines could talk to each other pretty fast, other times it was clamped down to ~10 MB/s for no apparent reason. Sometimes it only showed up in one direction, sometimes both. I gave up on trying to troubleshoot it when I discovered Tailscale.

That said, I still like ZeroTier a lot and think it's a great project. It also provides a whole LAN layer, with stuff like actual broadcast traffic, for which Tailscale has no equivalent.
That makes a lot of sense, considering that we’re made of meat. A mold that grows on meat could grow on us.

One other issue with the public domain and the USA govt is that while US govt works are public domain in the USA, they can, at the same time, be copyrighted by the US govt outside of the USA. So public domain in the USA but proprietary outside of the USA.
The whole notion of spending time sharing thoughts to random strangers on the internet seems pretty silly on the surface. With introspection, however, it becomes apparent that the return on investment, so to speak, is that it provides a platform to challenge your understanding of the world.

It is easy to fall into misunderstood or outdated ideas. Sharing those ideas with others prompts them to correct any errors in thought as a service to you. In turn, they will receive similar corrections for their misunderstood and outdated ideas as they share them. Collectively, this improves the shared understanding of everyone. The foundation of education.

Spelling and grammar corrections come part and parcel in that. They are given because they equally want to be received. There is really no greater feeling than being able to learn something new, and realizing that you were spelling something wrong, to be able to spell it correctly in the future, fulfills that as much as realizing your understanding of some complex subject was off.

On that note, those of us involved in the software industry know that software testing is greatly benefitted from testing invalid inputs as much as valid inputs. When challenging your ideas, it can be equally useful to try and take an alternative perspective – invalid input, if you will – and see what kind of correction data is returned. If the correction data is poor, what was seemingly incorrect input may be closer to being correct than you originally thought. This can be just as useful in correcting your understanding as simply posting what you hold as being true.

The old adage about asking "How do I do X in Linux?" will yield no response, but stating that "Linux sucks! It cannot do X." will solve your problem nicely captures what online message boards serve. To try and apply a human element to who sits behind the "Linux sucks" statement misses the point.

When I looked the black magic camera seemed to require a human running it to get things to work well.

There were no clear winners, but these were the options I looked at as best:

- LUMIX GH5, high quality but old, bad autofocus

- LUMIX G100, new and cheaper, bad autofocus

- Sony ZV1, new and great autofocus, no interchangeable lens

I ended up unable to decide between them.
Considering that EAS's are handled at a hardware level and a public subscription API sounds ripe for a targeted DDoS attack for a pull model and bound to fail for a push scenario, I think radio, TV (OTA & cable), and Cell/Mobile are sufficient to reach the vast majority of people. Really only people who completely eschew technology would be left out since news orgs will be quick to update their web sites and forward the information into social media platforms. It just seems unnecessary.

I've been in synthetic biology / DIYbio for the last ~8 years, and recently worked 3 years in Drew Endy's lab and got a decent perspective on how things went down throughout the years.

If there is something the computer hackers should know about synthetic biology, it's that it is in its infancy (ie, there are pretty few players who are leading all those projects listed). It is really early. Joining open source software projects to help synthetic biologists will non-trivially affect the future of the field (they don't know how to program)

If I had to predict what is coming in the next 10 years, I'd say that improvements in biotech networks are going to enable cool stuff. The BioBricks Foundation's Bionet Project (worked on that a little) was a good foray into this idea. Basically, networks of materials and software are going to cause the price to participate to start dropping into early home-computer hobbyist realm.

Synthetic biology right now is in very infant stages of networking. We have Addgene, which is alright, but large scale collaboration on important projects are really unheard of. I think that'll change.

I don't think we've had the combo of visionary (Drew Endy, Tom Knight, etc) and pragmatist in academic synthetic biology yet to move forward on important projects. I think a new a group of synthetic biologists are incubating right now that may change that.
- Can you point me to a link of how this was hacked? My understanding is that the laptop was given to a mac repair place and then they didn't pay for it. I have no idea why someone would do not pay for their repair though.
- A lot of people are focusing on the Donald Trump tax returns which were hacked in a way but accepted on Twitter. They have personally identifiable information too as in when you go to the IRS website it asks you for a return's amount as a means of verification etc.

> ... which is problematic for building teams and culture;

Maybe I am alone in this, but I care very little for culture. Perhaps it's because I am a freelancer. I work for a company to bring results and I just try to communicate clearly. When there's doubts we have a chat over Skype, since sometimes direct communication is just more efficient than using chat.

I believe people can work well as teams while WFH and some kind of company culture (whatever that means) isn't really necessary for people to be effective.

For the past 1.5 years I've been working for an Australian company. I do mobile dev from Thailand. There's an Indian team doing some BLE-related mobile dev from India. There's a guy in Vietnam also doing mobile dev. We have a guy in Taiwan doing low-level hardware programming. A guy in Japan doing hardware design. A Russian guy in Georgia who's doing we web-related stuff. And the leadership is in Australia. Everyone seems to be able to get along pretty well and without much misunderstanding. Perhaps it's also the nature of our work, the product we work on.

Why do people feel it's important to build some company culture? What does a company culture even mean?

Thanks for the reply. And I did notice that Filecoin's committed storage was even larger than Backblaze's reported capacity, which was super impressive, even if it doesn't represent actual files yet. Congrats on the release!

This is what I meant by quasi-voluntary. They were not oblivious and hacked without their knowledge (under PRISM, that is - they were other ways), but they didn’t exactly have a choice.

> unsubstantiated reports from anonymous sources that the DNC emails were hacked by Russia and released through Wikileaks.

A US government report is not anonymous. That's very clear who the source of that report is. It's the US government. I would also hesitate to call is unsubstantiated. There's a lot of substance in the indictment, including specific dates and times of actions, and names of the attackers.

> there is as much hard evidence for one as the other, and both are damaging, destabilizing allegations

No, there is more hard evidence for the DNC hack. If you want more hard evidence, see CrowdStrike's analysis[1], Google Search logs[2][3], ThreatConnect's analysis of email headers[4][5], Secureworks's analysis[6], Fidelis's analysis[7], FireEye's analysis[8].

TeminusDB looks quite interesting. The comparison that comes to mind though is Day/Hypercore, rather than any of the solutions you have listed.
Basically all of them support some sort of lease mechanism to avoid one of the protocol phases in the common case. Virtually all of them provide snapshot reads as a performance / convenience thing. It's common for systems to use paxos as the configuration/topology layer while fine grained updates flow through something akin to viewstamped replication. Examples would be Kafka, Amazon Aurora.
> Glassdoor is not a place to find honest company reviews.

... which genuinely raises the question, what is a place to find honest company reviews except actually personally knowing someone working there?
That’s good to know. That being said: it’s not clear what role it’s playing (to me, it may be extremely obvious to anybody who knows what ZeroTier actually is), and it’s not clear why it’s being shelled out to rather than consumed via some Python API.

SEO companies are big customers of products like this. Scraping Google at scale requires a huge budget for proxies and IP blocks, and I believe they apply ML to detect people abusing their service.
Oh thanks, that makes sense. I was trying to figure out what the upside was for this, but I forgot about the 1-on-1 potential with the feds. It's pretty hard to get in touch with them otherwise.

These days any anonymizing proxy is marketed as "VPN". Probably because there's been enough marketing dollars spent on making the average joe equate "private internet" (whatever that means) with VPN, they'd be losing out on a lot of traffic if they market themselves accurately, and the difference is entirely lost on 99% of the potential market anyway.
It's pretty hard to compare biology to programming, mainly because analogies start to break down and it becomes fundamentally different.

What about Communists? Socialists? Libertarians? PETA? Antifa? Twitter's executive board? Are they extremists?

I can find probably millions of people that would agree that they are in fact, extremists. In fact, the Nazis argued that Jews and Communists were evil. Of course, in Soviet Russia and China, the anti-communists were the extremists...and died by the tens of millions as a result.

To the extent that laws are actually broken, those crimes should be prosecuted.

Speech is a natural right and needs to be protected as such.

The U.S. went through the 40s all the while generally protecting the first amendment. The German Nazis went around torturing and bullying everyone who disagreed with them. Your proposal is closer to Nazism than anything I've heard of.
I have a project at home that uses a bunch of thermocouples, power controllers, current sensors, etc. I was trying to run them all off a raspberry pi running node red. It started off OK but quickly ran into trouble after the hardware started scaling up (particularly the thermocouples)

I had an esp8266 sitting around, so I flashed it with tasmota, configured it to run four thermocouples, and then tied it back to the raspberry pi via MQTT message bus. It's absolutely fantastic. I put a second one together to run a small portable load cell setup for measuring output rate of the process and pipe all of those measurements through MQTT as well. Plan is to create a flash/configure pipeline so i can swap out the ESP boards and/or easily tack more on over time. Ultimately would like to get all of the hardware off of the PI and have spare ESP8266 boards around so i have a bit of redundancy.

Tons of capability for the money and the process of getting Tasmota up and running with a standard sensor couldn't have been easier. Lots of fun!!!
The cost of publishing and barrier of entry to publishing is now lower.

Therefore the attention that would usually go to high quality content is now being spent in very low quality content.

Communicating via conference and paper, not via popular media. (As DEK says, their task is to get to the bottom of things, not keep on top of them.) IOW, where they've always been.

The Glass Bead Game (1943) calls the twentieth century the Age of the Feuilleton as snark on that genre (the dead tree equivalent of blogging) as expression of idiocracy.
Harvested some legal cannabis recently and on the advice of some forum users decided to try washing my buds. I'm damn glad I did. It was a three bucket rinse, the first with lime juice in hot water, then hot water, then cold water. I thought it was some hippy bullshit, but I had little to loose.

The first bucket was just pitch black by the end of the washing. I dumped out the water straight into the toilet and soot dripped out at the end. Then I gagged when I saw probably two dozen drowned caterpillars by the end of all the washing.

Who knows how much ash, pollution, and insect I've been smoking all these years.
My first reaction was to scoff at this, but you might be on to something! I discussed the idea of "not wanting to hurt vendors' feelings" being a driver behind choosing 100% ratings versus more accurate reflections from consumers, but I hadn't considered that maybe people's feelings in that regard were influenced by the fact that every app and product begs to be rated that way. "Did we fulfill the basic requirements? Please rate us five stars!" Is that anywhere in the ballpark of what you mean?
That's great to hear. I want to thank you for your work on Nomad. Its been a pleasure to use and has allowed us to scale without unnecessary complexity.
Way to make up strawman's argument.

Do you agree that there are objective facts that should be accepted by the society for the well being of the society? Such as Earth is not flat, vaccine does not cause autism, and wearing a mask is helpful at preventing Covid spread?

If you do not believe such object facts exist, then we do not live in the same reality, if you do, then there must be some mechanism that raises certain statements into the status of "facts", and that's the same kind of mechanism we should apply.

My old-aunt (not sure if that is something in English but she was an aunt of my father) and her husband ate only expired food until they died (both over 95, aunt over 100); I was, as a kid, always disgusted as everything you got there was rotten (fruit etc) and/or had mold (bread) ; they just cut it off or even just ate it. Because they had a house close to my uni, I lived with them for a while as a student and it was horrible; I eventually got a little fridge in my room as simply everything was expired, and then some. They survived 2 wars and, although they had plenty of money, they knew (and wanted to??) how to live of nothing. So they bought or got (for free) only expired food. They also were very religious and that helped with the money thing; they both washed with cold water their whole life and the heating in the house (in the netherlands!) was generally off; there was ice inside my room as a student. I knew more (as in; yes they were weird to me but not so much for the generation) people who survived the 2 wars who could not shake this kind of thing even though after those events they made a good to great living.
No to barely any tests between January-March
I'm glad most of the network seems to be rolling their own solutions. Plus, what I said really only applies to lazy miners. It's probably not that hard to set up a thin compatibility layer between B2 and Filecoin, but as another commenter noted, they charge about $60/TB/year.

If you wanted to really be competitive on the Filecoin market, you could probably set up a rig just like Backblaze does (they open source their designs) and achieve the approx $30/TB/year mark, which is basically half of the B2 compat layer.
I've always been partial to "Will It Blend?"

> There is only one exception to the rule of identical treatment of files on different devices: no link may exist between one file system hierarchy and another. This restriction is enforced so as to avoid the elaborate bookkeeping which would otherwise be required to assure removal of the links when the removable volume is finally dismounted. In particular, in the root directories of all file systems, removable or not, the name .. refers to the directory itself instead of to its parent.

Is this saying that if I had a removable disk mounted at /mnt/foo and issued “cd ..” in that directory, I’d remain in /mnt/foo instead of moving up to /mnt? When did this change to the current behavior?
that's what they call 'opinionated default configuration'; then they tie in subscription management with telemetry so that opting out of it isn't an option to begin with; https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/telemetry/...

> Way to make up strawman's argument.

Please explain what you think I’m strawmanning. If you demand that certain topics be banned from discussion, you must explain, as a matter of implementation, who gets to decide what is banned.

> Do you agree that there are objective facts that should be accepted by the society

What, concretely, do you mean by "should be accepted by the society"? To use an extreme but historically common example, does it mean that people should be executed for having different beliefs? You need to be more specific.

> If you do not believe such object facts exist

I do believe the Earth is round. I do believe it’s a fact. I don’t believe people should be banned (or worse) because they think otherwise.

In fact, flat Earth theories are interesting, because they challenge my assumptions and ultimately clarify my understanding of the subject.

This is why freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas is so important: It is the only mechanism by which we can correct our own epistemology and keep it in check, both at the individual and at the societal level!

> there must be some mechanism that raises certain statements into the status of "facts"

Sure. What does this have to do with censorship, though? The topic of discussion was policy, i.e. what is to be imposed on other people.
