It would maybe be more understandable if the Director of National Intelligence hadn't made the statement he did [1], which was only a few days after the incident. Why wouldn't Twitter unlock their account then?

So unless there is a huge conspiracy that you have evidence of where the DNI is straight up lying to everyone, I think it's fair to say that it's not misinformation from foreign parties.

[1] "Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said Hunter Biden’s recovered laptop and emails, which purportedly show Joe Biden had involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, are “not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”... "He continued: “Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress.”

As the saying goes, Zerohedge has predicted 28 of the last 4 recessions. They have a consistently bearish bias (which rarely seems to play out), and ties to the Russian state, which brings into question the motivations behind their criticisms of the US (not that I'm the biggest fan myself).

All of that said, ZH introduced me to a lot of economic literature and concepts I likely wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. They touch on niche subjects constantly, and I have to give them credit for broadening my understanding of economics in general.
Banning right wing conspiracy theories would not have been a political issue 5 years ago. There is nothing intrinsically leftist about this. It turns out that one political party and its propaganda outlets favour disinformation designed (by foreign adversaries) to provoke political violence. This party only has itself to blame.

Anything becomes political as soon as a politician talks about it. So things being 'political' do not transform them into sacred cows.

In the EU sharing data outside the network is a huge no-no now regardless of industry.

And compared to most other countries the US overton window is still very right on economics and foreign policy. Socialised health care, or economically left wing politics are still not mainstream and acceptable. Anything other than pure capitalism is called socialist, and socialist/communist is a term that can be career death for a politician.
> Can you point me to a claim from the Bidens or law enforcement that the information was hacked?

I'm not aware of any claim from them. I thought the claim of the hack comes from the NY Post article itself where they said the shop owner made a copy of the hard drive.

> What are your thoughts on the Trump tax records which were criminally released to the NYT not being censored?

You're using the word "criminally released" but that is an unproven fact, the times claims that "all of the information The Times obtained was provided by sources with legal access to it". Now I wonder how that can be as well, but at least that's the statement.

So at least from the perspective of being a small time employee of Twitter that has to work on moderation, I can see them looking at both article and thinking the first one talks about a hard drive being copied by a shop owner and leaked. While the other is nebulous on the origin but claims it was legally obtained.

This is obviously all speculation. But that be my thoughts, that I can see how the policy might have applied to one and not the other.

I also have to think that it coming from the NY Post must have contributed. I don't assume Twitter reviews every tweet manually, and I can see how NY Post is more likely to get flagged than NY Times.
> "We don't know what's going on" is a lie. We know.

I'm not lying, but I could be mistaken. I'm not mistaken about the rape of nanking or the holocaust. There are pictures of mass slaughter, graves and even severed heads on the pikes of japanese soldiers to confirm the depravity and existence of these events. My own grandfather witnessed the events and tells me first hand accounts of the rivers of blood in nanking. The japanese denial is sickening, and you accusing me, a descendent of victims of such slaughter, as someone who denies genocide displays incredible immaturity.

I am not denying genocide, I am simply saying extreme accusations need extreme evidence. So your next task is clear:

Show me pictures of the same slaughter that you claim the chinese are doing right now. I promise you I will do a full 180 if you show me some actual pictures of the massacre that you claim is happening right at this very moment. Show me some dead bodies, executions... etc.. etc.
Gotcha, makes sense. I just wanted to clarify this.

We're really doing everything we can to make sure the data you share with us is safe. Encrypting google access tokens, updating passwords regularly and using 2FA are a few examples.

But then, we're not un-hackable of course. Risk 0 does not exist and that's something every user is and should be aware of.

We don't have the same budget for security as big companies and even they get hacked.

I do not think that we host the kind of data that a hacker would like to acquire. Notes we take are usually pretty low-risk data. This is what protects us the most probably.
IMO, for the most of the data-gathering needs running a browser (even a headless one) would be an overkill. Browser is better suited for complex interactions, when you need to fully pretend to be a user.

The mere act of making a message accessible from an internet connection is only 1% of what "publishing" is, and it's the only reason Google, Facebook, and Twitter make billions. Otherwise, the whole Geocities-type model where everyone has their own private website would be successful today.

The reason these technologies are successful is that 99% of "publishing" is getting messages to the eyeballs that want to see those messages. The essence of their monopoly is that everyone's content they want to see is on that particular platform, both political and apolitical. It is difficult to follow people who get excommunicated from platforms, and the whole reason anyone uses these platforms is to avoid this difficulty.

TBH, I think some of these photos look a little muddy and noisy even at 4x6 dimensions. Even some of the ones taken in daylight. Maybe there was an issue with the post-processing, but I wouldn't characterize someone who wants to print a 4x6 as a pixel peeper..
Sure it does. This may be a case of "comments in the rear view mirror are much larger than they appear", i.e. people underestimate how provocative their posts are.

No, Twitter is equivalent to a store or restaurant that you can opt to enter, or opt to avoid. They're also within their general rights to disallow service to you.

>I suspect most of Microsoft's revenue comes from business and OEM licenses - neither of which are likely to switch to ReactOS. Even if ReactOS was stable and perfectly compatible with Windows, I doubt many people would switch to it

I doubt they're going to bother otherwise though.

A lot of people have high-hopes that import-maps[1] will allow us to consume a variety of ES Modules from a variety of CDNs effectively. It gives us back the "bare specifies" that CommonJS introduced, where you say `import $ from "jquery/index.js"` in the code you write. Then the import-map helps the browser understand which CDN or otherwise to reach out to get that index.js file. We think this will allow ES Modules to be broadly usable & "modular", in a way that they have not been. I & a bunch of others are holding our breath on this one. It feels like it really can fix this huge hang up, giving us a way to author modules in a way that allows modular consumption.

I disagree. I have an A9 + GM glass. I'm constantly surprised by what a modern smartphone can take compared to what I get out of my camera. Yes, you can get way better photos if you do everything right with a traditional camera (and certainly much more real bokeh) but that usually involves a lot more editing than you have to do with an iPhone 12 Pro or similar.

For the amount of time it takes - the iPhone 12 Pro and similar can really outperform a camera. One you get a snapshot you'd be okay with sharing with others immediately - with the other, you're like, "Yeah, the exposure is a little off but maybe that's just because of the dynamic range limitations? And I need to adjust the contrast, maybe sharpen a little bit, colors aren't really there, and it would've been great if I had done bracketed exposures because the sky is just too blown out to recover properly..." A lot of that stuff is gone with smartphones because they do it all for you.

It's what annoys me about modern cameras - they don't have any of that built in as an option. You have to do all the work by yourself and bracketing is just way too much of a PITA for me to deal with for most photos. Computational photography is a huge breakthrough that many cameras just don't utilize almost at all.
A better analogy would be a service that runs on he electricity such as advertisement boards.

This seems to be a straw man argument. No in this thread is arguing that only "pure" outlets should be respected.

Agreed; the apples-to-(heh)-apples comparison would be that photo against a hand-held DSLR 3-second exposure, or a shorter exposure with the ISO maxed out, and even them I'm fairly certain the DSLR image would be barely usable.

How far are you in building your product? Do it in Bubble (https://bubble.io/). Check it out and let me know what you think. I am not affiliated, just a fan.
Yes, it absolutely does. Rapid efficient capital allocation allows our economy to react nimbly to anything that gets thrown at it (like covid).

The sharp v recovery in the markets was surprising, but not so much when you realize what's backing it. People gave credit to the wrong group. They said it was the fed, it wasn't, it was the HFT. All the fed did was add some zeros to accounts and relax some interest rates. HFT had to figure out where the money goes.

Without HFT, it likely could have taken a year for the market to recover. It would have taken forever to unravel all the changes (some ephemeral, some not) and figure out how to efficiently allocate all that money.

If I was the democrats, I'd find a way to connect the market to main street rather than try to create ftt. I believe the first country that does this will win the 21st century.

Imagine being able to come up with a business idea, partner with some friends, do a bit of proving out and publicizing your team and money just flows into it based purely on the merit of your real potential. No politics, no long lunches and dinners with VC, no irrational idiots. Just pure, unfettered meritocracy.

Or imagine having a long standing mainstreet business that gets hit with a one time, out of its control, disaster. No need to go the bank with hat in hand, the money just shows up in your account, with hyper competitive interest rates. The same could be said if you have an idea for expansion or efficiencies. Just send out a press release with a few specifics, and next day you are underwritten.

SPAC is sort of like that. Sadly, democrats have their own brand of xenophobia. They tax what they don't understand. It's very unfortunate that the GOP didn't vote with the democrats to impeach Trump. Historically, I think it will go down as the most colossal political mistake since Nixon.

One way to think about all this, is DeepMind / starcraft. AI could already out-micro any competitor, but now it's getting to a point where it can out-strategy as well.

Having tools like that to manage our markets is a very powerful tool and makes the US not only hyper efficient but a far more competitive than any other nation.

That said, the whipsaws of computers figuring out things too fast can be tough on people. pure, unfettered meritocracy can be hard for those without merit to offer.

Halloumi: A prototype cloud development framework
My first job was a telco equipment manufacturer that needed to add a user-facing DSL to their embedded internet OS (the GenX iOS). I later used it with Expect to write a basic automated integration testing suite for the network equipment's CLI.

I really disliked TCL at first because the syntax seemed so arbitrary compared to other languages. It's only when you realize that TCL is actually more pure than other languages that you begin to appreciate its beauty. When the man page starts with "The following [12] rules define the syntax and semantics of the Tcl language:", they mean it. Those are the 12 rules. They are followed exactly and in order every time. Beyond those 12 rules, the rest is really DSL to make it look more like a normal programming language. It's very easy to code an entire TCL interpreter in 1000 lines of code. By coding in such a pure style, it made me appreciate how much the quirks of other languages are fundamentally designed to help programmers and not create frustration, which is how I always experienced all the "gotchas" I had to debug.

I think “notmuch” is actually a great solution to handle email (or a corpus of articles such as RSS) with a combination of search/filters and tags. The interface is also ripe to easily plug in ML based filters or other social curation filters (Eg: re-shared by my friends) if we manage to build good ones.

If only we had a pleasant graphical interface on top (which played nice with HTML email), rather than needing to use text-based interfaces, I think it would be a HUGE improvement over most mail clients out there.

If social media companies don't want to be used as transmission vectors of obvious foreign political influence, then they don't have to be. Just like if they don't want to be used as transmission vectors of pornography or any other type of content, then they don't have to be. In both cases it requires setting some sort of content standard and making decisions about whether the content meets that standard.
