Reporting the statement “I won the election, says Trump”

Is actively pushing an incorrect statement. It doesn’t matter that it’s a bare quote. It doesn’t make a difference that it’s objectively true THAT he said so.

If the statement itself is highly questionable or outright false, then a news source must either a) qualify it as untrue/disputed/... (depending on the degree), or they must choose to just not report it. That’s it. Those are the only two choices.

What they cannot do is simply report he said it and “leave it to the courts” to determine whether it’s true.

Freedom from bias does not mean Reuters can engage in relaying quotes they themselves suspect are false without qualification, since merely choosing to report it without comment means actively relaying a lie. It’s not “editorializing”, but still actively doing whoever is lying a favor.
In this day and age? Just send an email. Your service provider is almost certainly providing a DKIM signature and implicitly with it an attestation that you were authenticated. Desiring any more than that would require a witness able to confirm your identity, even in real life where I can always state that someone else walked in an signed the document.
State of Credit 2020: Consumer Credit During Covid-19
I remember setting out to write a Workflowy/Roam style outline viewed editor using prosemirror and it wasn’t as easy. Kudos to the author for building one.

Also, why is that all these note-taking apps see everything as a list item? As for me, most of my writings are loosely structured scattered across paragraphs, quotes and codeblocks. Why isn’t this mainstream? Why is “Everything is a list item” winning?
No you can't assume that. Masks don't deprive people of oxygen.
The platform is private, so the 'individual author' isn't having their free speech restricted by being restricted from a single private platform. If someone gets banned from Twitter for posting statements inciting violence, there's nothing stopping that person from going to other outlets like Reddit or Facebook, or even starting their own site/newsletter. But if a private company were legally incapable of removing content that they determined was unacceptable on their platform, that would be totally okay with you?
Why would they include content that is so obviously false in a guidebook? Certainly the book's author didn't believe it to be the case.
It apparently does mean something (TIL):

I, by no means support such sleazy company.
Besides the fact already mentioned that there's 2 completely different sizes of tablespoon, TV/internet chefs generally lie about the quantities and times of everything. How many times have you heard them say things like "cook the onions until they're dark brown - about 15 minutes", or "this step seals the juices inside the steak" or similar nonsense. I don't know why they do it, but they do.
I see it more like a legal talisman. A pseudo legal thing that people think is necessary to make a contract real. It can be helpful for proving that a contract existed, but there are alternatives.

> Apple did not promise anything wrt. 3rd party apps

Of course they did: "With the introduction of Rosetta 2, M1 and macOS Big Sur seamlessly run apps that haven't yet transitioned to Universal versions. So without updating, you can keep working on Fusion360 projects or reach the next level in your favorite game."

Rosetta 2 (and Rosetta before it) may be an amazing technical accomplishment, but it's entirely fair for a reviewer to say it doesn't cut it for him. As funny as some of his choices are (Edge on a Mac, on purpose?), he's not reaching; this is what he uses everyday. It's also fair to point out that if your favorite game doesn't happen to be Rise of the Tomb Raider, your mileage may vary.

I think the reviewer is a little unfair in his emphasis on "Apple-chosen" reviewers, but this frankly is the kind of thing I look for. Five-star reviews are rarely as useful to me as three-star reviews.
FB gets ad money from these frauds
Absolutely disagree. Platforms are owned by people just like you and me, and there are small-scale platforms too. I can even foresee myself running one, and I don't want to lose my rights over my property just because somebody thinks large platforms are wrong.
> You'll never hear the words "do the needful" or "prepone" or, my most hated "kindly revert back"!

I hear your complaints. But does this really deserve a mention as a reason not to live in India? Are you really this upset over a few phrases that has no material impact on your life? Seems a bit pretentious.
>A state consumer protection law that requires a reasonable person standard before deleting user-generated content.

This violates the 1st amendment by compelling speech. If you want to pass such a law, section 230 isn't your biggest obstacle.

>All state contract law that would enable legal action to enforce a contract or terms of service that a party felt were violated by the moderator.

Nothing in section 230 prevents contract enforcement. In fact, courts that threw out other counts because of section 230 have addressed contract breach counts separately. See e.g. https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2019/12/breach-of-cont...

>Even just a state law that says "you must give users a window of 24 hours to export their data and leave."

Perfectly permitted. They wouldn't have to display the content publicly, which would mean they're not an interactive computer service for the purpose of that section. For someone making confident assertions about what's obvious, they fail to point to court cases that actually interpret the law that way.
Signatures generally have mostly become a total joke. I suppose there's some element, for many of us, that there's something vaguely scrawled that looks like other vague scrawls that indicate I may have glanced at a piece of paper. But, especially, at the current time having clean and dirty pen cups so we can sign a paper receipt or have to sign a digital pad with what's effectively just an X?

At least my financial institution was willing to work with a phone call, mobile phone number, and email for something rather than having to go in and do the notary thing.
Large platforms (for example >10m users) should be forced by law to publish everything which is not otherwise illegal.

I don't think Gitlab does auto expiring of snippets, but I was thinking of adding `glsnip purge` to wipe the "clipboard" -- I may yet add it.

I also toyed with making some kind of a `clipit` style clipboard stack with pushing and popping and listing items on the clipboard and all that... I may add that too if there is interest...
Slate is a great block based editor. The downside and the reason I didn’t choose it for notebrook [0] is because its contenteditable implementation doesn’t work on Android.

And if your password gets reset by the system and not you, same story.

What makes you say oauth tokens are any less robust? Aside from the fact they usually have an expiration attached to them, there's not much difference.
Just sorting them by size groups can be super helpful. For example, sort 1x1 items, technic pieces, and large items (more than 8 studs in length).
Also:

- compact form factor, cases etc.

- teaching esp kids (standardization)

- pre-built libraries and software compatibility (easier)

Example: I used an rpi4 and old LED TV to drive a digital wall art piece. SBC fit the space and pre-built software cut hours: I coded it up in HTML/JS and headless chrome.
One is a recent quote from the Lancet, a respected medical journal. The other is from 1919, before the discovery of viruses. But I am not going to argue which holds the most credence. What is concerning though is that the original comment selectly quoted the paragraph that supported their no doubt political opinion while ignoring the other.
"That just means rents will go up even more to compensate landlords for the risk of having to pay higher taxes when the unit is vacant."

Landlords will always charge the absolute highest rate that they can get away with, regardless of the taxes they have to pay.

So raising taxes on vacant units will not raise rents even one single penny, as they'll already be as high as it's possible for landlords to charge and rent in that market (or, in the case of vacant units, even higher).
Count me as firmly in the anti-tipping camp. The article fails to mention the fact that tipping actually creates an environment where more prejudice (not less) can be exposed. If you aren't a stereotypical "good-looking" female server, you will statistically earn far fewer tips. The same goes for people working in the kitchen (as the article mentions).

If your servers (or anyone working in the restaurant) demand higher wages, pay them the fair wage and charge what it costs to operate at that level. The expectation of a tip feels similar to the hidden fees charged by wireless carriers so they can advertise a much lower rate.

> Dr. Fauci himself at the beginning of the conflict said not to wear masks. Then he admitted he was lying to prevent a run on masks. Is it any wonder people are skeptical or at least confused?

The same shit happened in Germany, with the added confusion between the various types of masks and people believing that painters' masks (the one with a passthrough for exhaling) are effective too while they are not.

It was a madness all around, and one that may cost us a lot of public trust in science and politics.
Sure, it's fine to have that belief. Just, to make it work in a world where the Citizens United precedent exists, you really need a constitutional amendment. Or a supreme court willing to make a really creative interpretation of the constitution and precedent landscape. This isn't a normative statement about what ought and ought not to be. It's just an observation of what is.
Yep! Years ago while in school, I kindly asked Roche to send me the posters. These are great, both in terms of the form - as in room decoration, and in terms of function - great when studying biochem, etc.

I don't tip and never will.
In all fairness, going to an office in-person and getting something notarized implies 1.) You can actually go to an office in person and seem vaguely legit and 2.) Can present government photo ID. That said, given the issues with going into an office at the moment, I'm finding institutions are finding other ways to verify identity to their satisfaction.

a-Shell [0] is missing from this list.

Banks can and do arbitrarily refuse service to customers, E. g. based on account size, etc.

Railways, electricity lines etc are monopolies, there is just one possibility, it's not feasible to build a new one. These should be regulated.

Facebook, Google, etc are not providing anything crucial, there are billions of people living without it, and there are thousands of (worse but functioning) alternatives, and anyone can switch by simply entering a different address into the address bar.
This should be specifically targeted at large internet platforms and service providers (like ISPs). Some sort of cutoff can be found based on revenue, there are plenty of other regulations which only target companies above a certain size.
The bigger treacheries in my book are the overly optimistic prep times, especially when it comes to chopping and dicing ingredients. Perhaps I’m just very slow, but it almost always takes me twice as long as listed on the recipe to prep ingredients.
actually read that study please.

“47% of the group we asked to consider wearing masks wore them sometimes, and the whole group got a little bit less sick” is a crap study. which is what you’d expect with patient reported data.

A tablespoon of sugar--a common amount in a recipe--is 12.5 grams. As the other guy said, a kitchen scale can easily do this: throw your bowl on there, hit the "tare" button to zero the scale, and then any sugar you add will be the reading on the scale. No spoons or cups needed; it's simpler! Tare again and add the next ingredient.
I hope you don't use any services where tipping is expected. Otherwise, you're just rude and taking advantage of people.
What if a large platform has strict posting rights to cultivate a specific community standard that has nothing to do with the law? If my power-washing forum gets to over 10m users I'm now legally obligated to publish everything that doesn't violate US law, regardless of my site's content moderation policy?

What about large platforms based in other countries with a strong user base in the US, or vice versa? Do you force tech companies based internationally to comply with US law for content moderation purposes globally, or just for US residents? If not, what's to stop Facebook from moving their offices to Canada and continuing their business model as-is?

I fail to see how this is an even remotely reasonable assertion.
I agree, but what is the best path to end this ridiculous custom? Simply not tipping is unethical, as tipped employees generally make less than minimum wage.
It was highly targeted advertising on targets which were highly susceptible to be turned. Whatever they were turned by, doesn't matter whether it was factual or not (cause that is the low standard for advertising).

We have Edward Bernays standard of advertising coupled with the power of Facebook available for everyone, including people who lie through their teeth to get what they wanted.

Furthermore, there is evidence Russian trolls influenced the Brexit campaign, and if that isn't enough: it was a moment in polls where leavers indeed won, but before and after the referendum it was more votes for stay and for leave.

I'm actually glad The Netherlands quit with referendum. Elections are very tough nowadays because of how easy people are influenced.
> Banks, electricity companies, railway operators

These are bad examples in a discussion about speech protections... those businesses are providing services, not just engaging in speech.

Also, those businesses _do_ act to arbitrarily refuse to serve people. My bank sent me a letter last year saying that in ~10 days my account will be closed and they'll send me a check with the account contents. No reason, no appeals.
It's especially frustrating when the only reason for the consent banner is because they decided to use Google Analytics [1]. Just use something selfhosted like Matomo with a few privacy settings enabled [2] and then bam! no more annoying consent banners for visitors, no more Google tracking your visitors, and you still get the metrics you want. Everyone wins (well, except Google).

I find anti-tipping crusaders amusing. If you don’t want to tip, don’t tip. Simple.

Oh wait, I’ve got to listen to your 20 minute rant about inequality and racism and sexism and the violence inherent in the system because you don’t want ME to tip.
The problem I have with tipping in the US is that because of the judgement that prevents restaurants from forcing the waiters to share tips with the kitchen staff it means that Waiters end up being better paid and better compensated than kitchen staff in many cases (especially in upscale restaurants where the minimum accepted 20% tip is often a not insignificant amount of money).

And, while good service is welcome, I never go to a restaurant for the waiters, I go there because of the food. I've eaten at restaurants with absolutely awful service and came back often because the food was amazing. I've never once came back to a restaurant where the food was mediocre but the service was amazing. So why should my tips go to the least important staff in the restaurant?
I agree with you, but the problem is most servers themselves are against overhauling tipping for higher minimum wages.
Banks, electric companies, and railway lines do not publish speech as their main service, so it's kind of a different story. Regulation of commerce and speech in the US are different, legally and culturally, for better or worse.
Yes. I get when people criticize Inkscape for it's UI (personally I find it annoying to re-arrange the side windows), but feature-wise there is nothing left to be desired (except maybe CMYK not sure about that). But whenever I need something to be printed, it goes into Scribus anyway, and there we have CMYK.
>> "American capitalism" is also responsible for the greatest reduction of poverty globally in all of human history.

> Is that true? I’ve heard this recently from republican leaning sources but it doesn’t appear to be true.

I can't find sources to determine the exact contribution of the US to this, but free market capitalism in general is definitely responsible [0].

>> it seems like a majority of climate change talk always revolves around how the US can be doing more

> An American citizen emits 16 tonnes of co2 per year. Who else even comes close?

Canada is higher, Australia is close behind. I mentioned this before, but US co2 emissions have been in decline, while many other countries are increasing. It will not take India long before it eclipses the US.

America represents 15% of total co2 emissions [1]. If we wanted to reduce globally everyone needs to participate.

A public square doesn't stop being a public square merely because it's privately owned. The reasoning in Marsh v. Alabama still seems valid to me, even if the court has softened on it in the past few decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

When public communication is dominated by a few forums that happen to be privately owned and being banned from these forums ensures that nobody hears you, then actual practical exercise of free speech requires that these forums be viewpoint-neutral.

I'm convinced that all these people who show up on every HN and cheerlead for private censorship would be ecstatic about repealing the first amendment itself. Either you support the ability of ordinary people to express unpopular ideas as a practical matter or you don't.

I've met nobody with a principled commitment to free speech who nevertheless argues that the likes of Google and Facebook should be able to control the public conversation.
I still tip for the reason you mention, but I believe the change either needs to be made voluntarily by restaurants (as some are starting to do) or through legislation.
I don't like attacking the author for not being a lawyer (mostly because I am not a lawyer either), but it's quite clear to me that their legal interpretation is completely wrong.

To fix the original title: the First Amendment is a censorship law, not Section 230. Or at least, the First Amendment constitutionally protects internet websites that censor their users. It's called freedom of association.

There's certainly a lot of path dependency. Freakonomics has done some episodes on this. You can prohibit tipping and increase server wages. That part's easy. But: 1.) Your advertised menu prices are now higher than the competition. 2.) Servers (especially those in demographics who get tipped well and/or working at busy times) are now probably making less money than they would down the street.
No. This idea that developers just write code and leave all the "squishy" problems to the pointy-haired bosses is not only wrong, but actively hurts teams. If you move this person from engineering to PM, they will not function in the same way.
I can't do the former, i can attempt the later.

I'm sure some service would figure out a way.
