I agree with your actual sentiment there. I've actually built a platform myself that has 10x the features of Twitter, in some regards (although a different set of similar features)

I'm a huge fan of decentralized social media, web3.0, IPFS, ActivityPub, Mastodon, Pleroma, and the Fediverse, and all that is the FUTURE to replace Twitter. However for today Twitter needs to stop censoring.
Keep archiving rights and improve archive searchability is important. Not to restrict use of there services, they'll just leave if they restricted.
Glenn Greenwald was able to post his article to substack in its unedited form and link it to his 1.5 million Twitter followers earlier today. From what I can tell, there was a disagreement about what The Intercept thought was appropriate for their platform and what he felt should be published under that banner.

I'm not really interested in litigating who has the "correct" opinion or version of events, but I'm skeptical that the editors' stance of "If you'd like to publish this as is, we'd prefer that you use your other enormous and wide-reaching platform(s) rather than the one tied to our professional reputations" counts as true censorship. Millions of people read his story today.
From the article, at the very end:
"Whether this effect could have provided a significant contribution to the global warming of the Earth during the last century is an open question. The researchers around Sami K. Solanki stress the fact that solar activity has remained on a roughly constant (high) level since about 1980 - apart from the variations due to the 11-year cycle - while the global temperature has experienced a strong further increase during that time. On the other hand, the rather similar trends of solar activity and terrestrial temperature during the last centuries (with the notable exception of the last 20 years) indicates that the relation between the Sun and climate remains a challenge for further research."
It is not just much more commonplace but obligatory for print magazines to exercise that control. A print magazine can't say, send me slander, send me libel, send me copyright violations, send me terrorist threats, if they agree with my personal political slant, I will print them all no questions asked.

Why can't a print magazine do that, but a website can? Did 230 say anything about why those are treated differently?
Somehow you must have missed the most important work that Intercept ever did:

>Then perhaps folks living internationally shouldn't be taxed.

I 100% agree. This is unique to the USA, as far as I understand it, and only applicable to those earning over $100K, but in my opinion no non-resident should be taxed.
You don’t need that (Western) qualifier. Given the opportunity, people all around the world choose not to care that much.

> The only major one I remember is that water is conductive by itself.

Most people don't know that pure water is an insulator.

However, in a practical sense that's ok since it's unlikely any pool of water is pure.

So for safety reasons involving electricity, one has to assume that any pool of water can conduct electricity.

He describes what he thinks, is what they did and why. Nothing about that is about him. In this quote it doesn't even matter whos article they didn't wanna publish. The whole quoted part could almost identically be written about someone else article they rejected. The "my article" is the only thing that would need to be changed and its quite obvious that if he cant make them post it no one else would get a similar article to be posted. This is not about him at all and certainly hes not the victim hes the one who attacked "the media" in what he wrote. He certainly was well aware that he asked them to publish something that criticizing themselves and he certainly was also fully aware that if they decline they proof his point. Checkmate for him - not a victim.
Thanks for reporting, this shouldn't be the case (I'm unable to replicate it on Chrome). Will test on iOS!
Almost none [1]. In theory, solar radiation has been decreasing a bit, so we should have cooled slightly over the past 50 years.

I suspect it's being flagged. The GG article itself is very sketchy, obviously part of a smear near an election, and the HN comments are a mess.

In theory they could use something like a session cookie to keep the server-side session intact when page navigation happens. I think I would prefer that over injecting something like Turbolinks or limiting this to SPAs.

> Those papers don't have a life of their own

Unfortunately, they do as far as the law is concerned. They have a right to own property - in perpetuity, which makes it an even more powerful right than flesh-and-blood humans have. They have a right to bring lawsuits. They have a right to influence our political process, thanks to Citizens United. They serve as an impenetrable shield between those owners and liability, and (thanks to those property rights) to a large extent taxation as well. Very little of this should be the case, but it is, and because corporations have this very substantial separate existence they should also be subject to tax.
The related example that I always remember is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment
Ha! Yes to some extent it would but that would really mean either a) we decided to run recommendations using a sparse model or b) we never validated the data or kept a watch on models when they were trained/retrained. This type of manipulation is typically likely when you're much larger and have alot of bots involved on the platform.

China’s greatest defensive super weapon is her population. What other country would want to take on the burden of caring for an additional 1.4B people in the 21st Century?

And China isn’t in the greatest position to take on more population from conquest. China’s experience in integrating minority cultures is dodgy and China’s neighbors seem justifiably skeptical of China’s approach to things. I don’t get the focus on military power...

TV/Radio broadcast has absolutely nothing to do with any of this. Those are "one way", and involve 10s of broadcasters rather than literally everyone in the world being able to talk to everyone else simultaneously in real-time. You are very very very confused about the issues.

Best gig I had I found on gumtree. A very rich guy wanted to create a startup. We clicked over the phone and I joined the small team. We worked in a basement of one of his posh houses in the city centre. We could sleep there and there was always fresh food delivered by his house staff. I spent two years with them. He then sold the company for just below 50 million as it was no longer fun for him.
In this case it is like canceling an anchor, because the people are complaining that their speech is being moderated under section 230. Whether a network like facebook can ban someone is a separate issue of tech company power, this regulation protects them to moderate content while not being legally responsible for the content they don't moderate.
My experience is everyone is running Kodi with addons because the once centralised anti-piracy solution that was Netflix is very much dead.

Yeah, well that's not a battle I want to fight. Id rather twitter/fb keep pushing people off their platforms and kill themselves via death by 1000 cuts.
What ruby blocks have in common with js anonymous functions is that they are closures, so that might be what made them click when you learned about those.
That's most of the reason for the first item: "don't ask for a job, or approach these conversations with the goal of getting a particular job."

Many people, introverts included, would want to be approached by someone genuinely interested in their opinion about, "how to approach job search as a Jack-of-all-trades?" even by people they have little connection with.

(As the sibling comment points out, these conversations often benefit the person you're talking to as well, even if you are asking for a job. But that's not the specific point I was trying to make since it relies a little more IMO already having stronger connections.)

> Did you read his story? It's good, it's serious

I have read it, and it's not good. It is an example of the worst aspects of pearl-clutching, can-you-imagine-what-this-means, ignore-the-actual-facts tendencies of the media today. He starts from a ludicrous premise and then doubles down on the ramifications, all without actually addressing the question of whether or not it is true.

You certainly don't question the suspect if you already know their answer, and you have no proof to the contrary. At least not unless you are ready to cede to that suspect the moral high ground.

Firstly, Glenn focuses on the fact this "de facto union of media outlets, Silicon Valley giants and the intelligence community" is not asking the Bidens questions about the nature of these allegations. The simple answer is that "union" is focusing on questions of merit, unrelated to this fictional reality Greenwald is portraying.

If one were to accept the premise that these are questions of merit, then one must believe the predicates - that Hunter Biden would send a personal computer to be fixed, thousands of kilometers from his home, by a coincidently pro-Republican repairman, who is coincidently blind but is coincidently also able to confirm that it was Hunter Biden who dropped this computer off, and that coincidently this repairman has a speed dial to Rudolph Giuliani, and that the proof of all of this was coincidently stolen by the USPS. By now the product of all these low-probability events is vanishingly small.

> I don't care if a journalist has a paranoid delusion as long as they are doing good writing and due diligence, and Glenn's story has both.

Due diligence would require Mr Greenwald to start with a neutral or cynical mindset. Who is to gain from this story, what is required for this to be true.

It is telling that Mr Greenwald thinks there is the cabal against him, that the famously apolitical intelligence services are taking a stand contrary to his. And the thing it might tell him is this: start from the facts, and follow from there.
> what you don't seem to understand is that nobody is forcing you to rely exclusively on a single website for all your communications

That does not change the fact that it would be a bigger problem for me to be banned from facebook than it would be for me to be banned from making phone calls, lol.

So when you say this "nobody is forcing you", you are ignoring the fact that they would be forcing a problem on me that would be larger than if I were banned from making phone calls.

So yes. They would be forcing an issue on me that would be larger than if they banned me from making phone calls.

> ignoring the fact that "the phone network"

Phone systems have fallen under utilities laws since before the internet existed. Therefore the analogy to phone calls is relevant.

You can look at home phone line systems. A home phone lines, that gives zero internet access, still falls under utilities laws.

Are you aware that a landline, that gives zero internet access, would still have to follow utilities laws? Just want to make sure you are aware of that.

> meets the definition of a utility

A perfectly reasonable thing to do is compare it to how much a problem it would be to switch from a different utility.

A landline, that has no internet access, is a utility. It falls under utilities laws, even if the singular only thing that it does, is make phone calls, without any internet access. Phone calls, without internet, is a utility.

And switching away from the system that only allows you to make phone calls, and has no internet, and is therefore a utility, would be easier than switching away from facebook.
Thank you, Chris :-)

I know I still need it and imagine there is always at least one other person who may as well :-D

You sound like decent chap as well. I have a lot of friends who have benefited strongly from the 12-step process. I also imagine I might have other friends in some of those nations you mentioned who benefit from the care you put into protecting their privacy.

Good luck to you as well!
> If you think Twitter isn't the most important Journalistic tool nowadays you're living in a cave. It is.

Twitter is the most important journalistic tool? Not e-mail? Not end-to-end encrypted chat services? The entertainment website made up of mostly celebrity gossip, memes and culture war propaganda? I think you're the one living in a cave my friend, a cave built, owned and operated by twitter. Just because it's popular with many journalists doesn't mean its important. There's no doubt there are some amazing journalists who use twitter at some points during their day, but the overwhelming sum of what goes on twitter can hardly be considered "journalism".

> There's literally no way to get more accurate news faster, by following sources you trust.

That's your opinion, not a fact. There are many people who would say using twitter as your primary news source is a terrible idea. News on the internet is a billion dollar business, twitter is just one of many innumerable sources of real-time news on the internet.
I don't even get any part of this conversation.

A person needs a pair of pants. Maybe, they don't want to use Amazon, or online services. They go to a store. It's in a mall.

Now, they're idiots for some inane, bizarre, incomprehensible reason. Even the "cheap clothes" they use to keep themselves safe from the elements are worse, than the "cheap clothes" bought elsewhere, like from Amazon?!

What a weird thread.
Your mileage may vary. I haven't interviewed for a job since 2005. The three f/t jobs I had before that I had to interview for, but I was the only candidate they considered (because of professional connection). The other interviews were required to comply with HR policies (apologies to the candidates who didn't really have a chance).

I don't think my experience is unique or even unusual. I have hired friends and former colleagues with only pro forma interviews because I already knew what they could do. I've been hired the same way. At almost every place I worked other people there got their jobs through a connection.

Maybe the difference is I know quite a few people who have hiring authority, possibly as a function of my age.

I stopped working f/t jobs in 2011, have freelanced full-time since then. I don't interview or submit proposals for freelance jobs either. Usually I'm the only consultant the company is talking to, the others waste time on discovery and proposals and "process" whereas I'm ready to get to work right now.
Interesting how it first tells you that Forever Project is not about setting goals, while truly pursuing the goal of learning. This becomes especially clear in the end, when polishing is criticized. If there is a goal (learning new things), doesn't it strip away the benefits of Forever Project thinking?
YouTube TV isn’t available where I am. But it must be awfully expensive when it does. YouTube without commercials is ~$20 USD a month here.
My condolences to both of you for the years you expected to spend with one another. What world-rocking news for anyone to get, let alone at the age of 46.

As someone who has been through an above-average amount of loss, I want to applaud and encourage the courageous, head-on manner in which you are approaching what is to come. It will pay off immensely down the road. My best to you, your wife and daughter.
We already tax things that we don't want people to buy, this isn't fundamentally different.
Sadly not much. The stratosphere is getting colder, while the troposphere is getting hotter, and the overall energy the earth is getting from the sun is sensibly the same. See https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/Solar (it was a quick search)

No idea why the share price increased, clearly this is going to make people cancel their service.

Netflix wont be around for many more years. The critical mistake was switching their servers to AWS, you never pay your competitor even if it reduces your costs.
Most science predicts warming of ~2* Celsius. That will definitely be disruptive, but it's not catastrophic. Remember this change is amortized over much of the century.

We should definitely be arriving towards decarbonization, but the reality is that there are other priorities. Climate change is a problem the world is facing, along with malaria, poverty, conflict and more. We absolutely should not prioritize getting to zero emissions above all else. Bombing coal plants in other countries would make great strides towards getting to zero emissions, but surely you agree that such efforts go too far.
Wow. Never thought I'd see the mainstream media call itself out for racism that to me, looks like biased agenda.
The attention of other people on twitter is not a utility, and I think comparisons to utilities like the phone network cloud the debate.

I'm probably in the minority here but I often think about preventative care like exercise and eating healthy now as insurance against a future where I'd be stuck in a nursing home in my final years.
yes, exactly! Anonymous functions weren't as common in other languages when Ruby first got popular, so the older Ruby devs had to learn about blocks without talking about anonymous functions, and I think they mostly haven't realized that the world has changed and there's a common terminology that people coming in from other languages will know.

The one big quirk is that Ruby syntax doesn't let you assign a block to a variable like you can assign a function to a variable in javascript. But you can work around that by using the lambda keyword or Proc.new with a block, which will wrap it into an object. Then you can use the & sigil to pass that object into a method that's expecting a block
> "The world would end by 2030", like obviously there is no way this can be true. No matter what happens the world will not end in a biblical sense.

Cortez said exactly that though. You could argue that she isn't a serious person, but lots of people do take her seriously, she is a very public figure.

I guess another way to put it is that, not only is there not necessarily any progress. But that as a result of a fixed human nature, the mistakes of the past will almost certainly be repeated. As John Gray states “politics is a succession of temporary and partial remedies for permanent and recurring human evil.”

In other words, the political traditions we have currently should not be torn down in the name of progress. Further, we shouldn't try to overthrow dictators like Saddam or the authoritarian rule in China (the opinion on Saddam is that of John Gray). This is because, as is apparent in Iraq, anarchy may rule. And when it does, it's very difficult to reach some level of civilisation and peace.

TL DR: It is easy to tear down a spider web, and very hard to rebuild it.
I have some experience with this through family and friends.

It's easy to make moral proclamations before spending literally decades attending to somebody with dementia/vegetation, or other chronic conditions. Wasting your own life on somebody who isn't all there is not a great trade-off if there's other options.

(My friend inherited a $2 million house for taking care of his gravely ill elderly relative, but that cost him 20 years of his life and meant he couldn't have a career, family or life outside the house. So a double tragedy.)

Having said that, there are reasons to be concerned about US nursing homes ...

US nursing homes are incentivized on many levels to sedate their normally active patients:

1) easier to control patients with less staff

2) paid for administering the sedative (daily or more frequently)

3) paid for the sedative.

So care bills can be inflated with no benefit to the patient paying for it.
I'll assume your comment is facetious. If you're serious then you don't understand my point, and you don't understand what employers hire for. Millions of people can write 2,000 lines of Javascript. Significantly fewer can solve a business problem that may require writing some code.
