And we need to go back to... censorship at the government level, vs publicly traded or private companies.

The government having a huge megaphone that reaches basically everyone, and then that same government censoring (turning the volume/reach way down) on competing messages - that's a very dangerous thing. It puts an awful lot of power in the government.

When the government says lots of dishonest things, or things that completely lack evidence, it is the duty of anyone with some influence on spreading messages to counteract that problem. In fact, when the government tries to discredit all competing sources of information, that's a very dangerous thing.

The people arguing against (government) censorship should be well to do to realize that right now, President Donald Trump is the loudest voice in government, and he's trying to drown out all opposing messages, and have you only listen to him. Read about the history of censorship, and figure out what kind of message muting you want to fight!

Yes, that's true. Again, I don't think this is about any higher principle; many people just aren't willing to maintain editorial neutrality with respect to a coup, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to.
Hi! I helped build this, AMA!
The president might be one person, but he’s the most powerful person on earth, with the ability to control markets, launch nukes, call millions of followers to arms or order a coup (unlikely to succeed on that one).

I find likening fact-checking Trump to censoring a private citizen a disingenuous comparison that plays down the power of the office he holds. If he goes off the deep end doing any of those things, there won’t be much the media or the house can do to stop it, so I think some preemptive action is warranted. Whether YouTube have got it right here is another question.

Nope! Just stating facts.
It's a very programming-like phrase, actually. Just parse it from the inside out: (isn't (guaranteed to be (a failure))

An equivalent might be "has some chance of success" but that misses the sense that the presumption is failure. More verbosely, the phrase might be: "One might presume that a national program to strengthen an industry would be a guaranteed failure, but this suggests to me that it might have some chance."
Good lord that's a reach.

In stating they ran parallel they meant that they're investigating the same offences at the same time. It ran parallel, but did not collaborate with, the Mueller investigation. It found more evidence and drew stronger conclusions.
Did you mean "available on Windows and Linux"?

A Linux version is available (based on Qt).
The Mueller investigation uncovered plenty of actual criminality.

Manafort (plea deal and convictions), Roger Stone (convicted on all counts), Cohen (plead guilty and convicted on multiple counts), Flynn (plead guilty to lying to the FBI, pardoned) are the big names.

All direct associates of Donald Trump, and all their criminality was for his benefit.

The main reason Donald Trump hasn't been charged with anything himself is because he is using the office of the presidency to shield himself. We will soon see if he can survive without a scratch without that shield.

This answer explains nicely why the “editorial we” is OK in papers...:

https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/2945/choice-of-...

Short version: because it can be read as “we, the author and the reader”.

But the site above uses phrases like “we have been granted a patent”, which come across as somewhat dishonest, making it appear on first glance as though this is the work of a team, corporate body, or at least two collaborators (and two is a huge step up from one in terms of credibility of any idea).

I’m not saying there was any dishonest intention on the part of this author - I’m just suggesting that radical transparency is a good technique for introducing an idea to a skeptical audience, in a domain which is very noisy with bad actors.
Vaguely related... If you are using Cloudflare's bot protection be sure to disable it for asset requests such as JavaScript and CSS.

Cloudflare's default behaviour upon detecting a "malicious bot" is to serve a captcha for these requests which will break your site. You should probably only be using this for top-level navigation where the captcha will be visible to use user.

This is a bit complicated for API endpoints, in this case all of your JS must be ready to receive an HTML captcha page instead of whatever your API should return. It is unclear what to do in this case. Send the request again? Reload the page and hope that the user gets a captcha on the HTML?

I've had Google down-rank my pages because Cloudflare served a captcha instead of the CSS file and Google decided that they weren't "mobile friendly".

Side-note: This is extra painful for https://cloudflare-ipfs.com as you can't disable security since Cloudflare has picked the settings, it makes that service unusable for hosting website assets.
I think it depends heavily on the system. For example, the Cal State system (largest public university system in the world) is pretty darn affordable if you're paying in-state tuition and commuting from home. Cal State San Bernardino doesn't have a whole lot of fluff. Just a bare-bones commuter school that gets the job done. Excellent value.

The UCs go up in price, but they're also literally world-class research institutions.

Let's focus on funneling more people through a community college/Cal State type system where they're graduating with a reasonable education that helps contribute to a well-educated and intelligent society, while not saddling people with monumental amounts of debt. And if they choose to continue their education and become specialists, they can go to grad school at a larger research university. I'm pretty sure that's what the CC/Cal State/UC system was originally intended to be. We've just sort of strayed from that path.
I wish there were a market for pamphlets (as there was in ye olde days). Hear me out. So many categories of books (business, psychology) could more effectively communicate their core thesis to a lay audience via 40-90 pages[0]. A long article. But the economics basically require the author to format as a 200-400 page book, resulting in the kinds of filler this post suggests.

I realize I could read a summary online, but that takes the interpreted benefit without directly rewarding the actual author. I am paying for the ideas, not the length, and would love to reward the most efficient way to deliver that.

[0] Obviously I realize there are many great exceptions to this tongue-in-cheek take on the market.

AGPL does help with this. An early example was when Google's search interface answered unit conversion queries using GNU Units. They fixed a bug internally and didn't flow the bug back upstream. Since they weren't distributing Units, but were only executing it as a service, their behavior was strictly conforming to the letter of the GPL. The failure to respect the spirit of the GPL was a factor in AGPL's development.

AGPL code is strictly forbidden for use inside the company now, partially because they consider private modifications to open-source software to be a competitive advantage.

Sounds like he has a bad and /or inexperienced loader(s), but in their defense sometimes, especially during peak, the volume on the belt is so much that you can barely pull your work off the belt much less think about where it has to be loaded.. usually you stack everything until volume slows down, then you load it. But in peak there is never a slowdown, its just balls to wall the entire time, everyone in the entire facility has been stacking out boxes so everything is piled up everywhere, sometimes this goes on for 7 or 8 hours or more in the midst of the peak season. Eventually, the driver gets there for their shift and its huge pressure to just get everything loaded so the driver can get out of there.

Getting funding from investors sucks. It comes with expectations of growth. Mongo still hasn't turned a profit. To the extent that they are a saas business with saas economics that's common, but still. They clearly read the writing on the wall and declined to fund AWS's R&D costs for free.
Because the conspiracy is real. These are not stupid people. The goal isn't to limit misinformation, it's to limit information. This sets a precedent to allow for more extreme limitations.

It's certainly frightening to consider, but any intellectually honest person needs to contemplate the reality that mega corporations, media companies, and governments do not have your best interests in mind, and that yes, they're willing to do nefarious things to control your reality.

This is just another stepping stone on the road to total domination.

That's true for California, Washington, Oregon, New York, and Illinois as well. The big cities in every state are going to be culturally and economically different from the countryside. The only exceptions are affluent tourism-oriented rural areas like Napa.
> but I can't say I blame Youtube for doing it

I do blame them, the same way I blame all social networks. People have always been ready to spread fringe content, but usually that content didn't go too far. What has changed now? Easy: the interest of social networks and platforms in having interactions above all. They have created the algorithms that give relevance to anything that creates activity, no matter what kind of activity (criticism and praise are evaluated the same). They have created the platforms that give a massive reach to anyone, real or not, with a single identity or with a hundred ones. They have created the incentives to favor views above content. They have created the models that will spam you with the "next thing you need to see" no matter what effect that has on you.

Now all of this is just a patch. The next conspiracy theory will come along, and the slightest effort at fighting it will just give it more relevance. The problem here is them. If they want to be serious about this, they should start by removing the mechanisms that are being abused. Of course, that would hurt their income and they don't care that much about the issue of misinformation.
The election occurred over a month ago. The counting of votes was complete enough 4 days later that any violations subsequent to then could not have changed the outcome. The relief sought--to prevent the results from being certified--would have been impossible to grant two weeks ago.

At this point, any case being filed now over the results of the election is doomed to fail either by the doctrine of laches (you should have filed it sooner) or inability to grant relief, and that's even without considering any other possible failings it may have (including merit!).

While the courts will operate under the assumption that a case is meritorious until proven otherwise, there is no reason for the court of public opinion to operate under the same assumption, especially when there is clear precedent and established case history demonstrating why the case must be dismissed that the filing makes no attempt to address.

> Only when you know the solution can you work backwards to find the steps to get you there from where you are today

I specifically said that the advice was _correct_. My point is that fact isn't that useful. Knowing the solution (i.e. eat less, drink less, think less) is the _easy_ part. It's the part these people have usually been told many times. It's rarely a lack of advice that is missing.

It's true that empathy doesn't cure these problems. But it is through empathy that you can understand what someone's true obstacles are to the "obvious" solutions.
It's fairly common for countries to require vaccinations simply to enter them as well. For example, I've personally gotten the yellow fever vaccine, which is required to enter Kenya.

That vaccine is actually relatively risky. Yellow fever is a serious disease, and the vaccine from weakened - but not killed - yellow fever virus. Thus very occasionally it causes what's basically yellow fever. That's still much safer than the risk of getting yellow fever if you are visiting a place like Kenya. But at least where I live, doctors won't give it to you without confirming where exactly you are travelling, because the otherwise the risk/benefit tradeoff isn't worth it.

So a lawsuit goes through some filters before it ever gets to the "presenting evidence" stage.

One of them is standing. If I sue Hawaii for not providing trueluk with a beach house, no evidence gets heard. It gets dismissed because I am not trueluk, nor am I a resident of Hawaii, and therefore I don't have standing to bring the suit. The courts are not going to hear cases where party A files suit, claiming that party B damaged party C.

Another is failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. If I sue Nebraska for not granting AnimalMuppet an oceanfront villa, I never get to present evidence. Nebraska has no oceanfront villas to give away, and a court order can't make them have any. (A more typical form for this to take is that some forms of relief are beyond the authority of the court to grant.)

Then there's... I forget the name of it. But the complaint is supposed to give an overview of the evidence. If that claimed evidence, even if true, doesn't give reason for the court to grant the requested relief, then the court isn't going to bother to listen to the evidence.

Most of the Trump (or on behalf of Trump) cases are falling on these hurdles. It's not that the judges are suppressing the evidence. It's that the lawsuits aren't even good enough to make it to the point of presenting evidence.

Note well: IANAL. Some detail and nuance may be missing from this post, but I think it's close to right. Don't take it as legal advice, though, because it's not.
