The way "censorship" is being used in public discourse, in practice, seems to be that it's not censorship when it's applied to views the people driving the public discourse disagree with. Remember the controversy over LGBT content supposedly being removed or demonitised on YouTube - pretty mucn none of the mainstream discourse agreed with the idea that it wasn't censorship because YouTube was a private company, let alone the idea that - as I've seen pushed in other areas - that pressuring YouTube not to do it was actually the real attack on their free speech rights.
He is absolutely exercising his first amendment rights to freedom of political speech by lying about what happened without evidence.

The first amendment isn't there to protect you from his lies though. It's to protect you so that you can speak the truth when he or somebody like him wants to stop you.

Be careful what you wish for. The same mechanisms that are used to shut him up will be used to silence you one day.
Reddit “owns” a subreddit if people go to Reddit to access it, people go to Reddit to add to it and it cannot be found anywhere other than Reddit. And then Reddit controls it.

The general case is the “network effect”. The Fediverse is partly designed to combat it.

That was for the first year. After that you got charged. Trump did an executive order that discontinued that.
Funny how various US courts of law disagree with you and Rubio. The information the SIC vol.5 regroups was used to convict quite a few of Trump's campaign associates.
I know it's natural to want to optimize for your child's school, but doesn't most evidence show that your child's school is only marginally predictive of attainment? The fact that you care so much to optimize for them might be self-selecting because your concerned/aware/have the resources to help in other ways.
>Deciding that people of a certain race/social class are the cause of all problems.

The thing I love about HN is that it both is one of the most progressive and least so places on the internet. Say what you will but there's no objective way in which Cali is "Deciding that people of a certain race/social class are the cause of all problems". I'm assuming you're talking about white people? Let's not forget Silicon Valley is mostly white with a minority of Asians mixed in, and no one's trying to take it down for that reason. Yet these comments are always way high up. Move to Texas if you want, but don't think that Texans want a bunch of Silicon Valley liberals who, in their eyes and according to their news sources, are responsible for censoring the alt right on FB, YT, and twitter.
Is the referenced issue something you really run across in etcd specifically? I mean, a more explicit error message would be great, but I wouldn't expect any database storage to not get corrupted if you start two databases with it at the same time.
But is this about website account breeches or the FBI unlocking phones? There is no omni-answer to privacy. My recomendation was only to address the threat of law enforcement unlocking devices, not securing one's accounts on dozens of random websites.
Good catch and thanks for posting the correct text. While copying from the article in haste I didn't notice that some letters didn't come through.

The language is tricky since Attic is only covered in introductory courses and this has sone non-Attic forms. For those of you who want to have a go in trying you hand at your own translation here are some short but useful notes (http://aoidoi.org/poets/sappho/sap-2.html). I had an earlier version of these notes that were longer, i.e. he pointed out the tmesis in Line 3.
Tangent: did you ever get anywhere on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8869652 ? I've been thinking that too for my type inferencer in https://github.com/daxfohl/dottie, and kind of tinkering on it in my free time.

My current thinking on the matter is, would be neat, it might be possible, but IDK whether it would be useful. If types are inferred completely, i.e. there's no actual type definitions, perhaps things not even having types themselves, but rather just rules extracted and tested such that the compiler evaluates and says "yup you can pass X into F" (which may be all you can say in cases like the omega combinator--there's no "type" you can associate with it afaict), then there's nothing to apply type classes to. "Can't have type classes, without having types". Also it takes away one of the big advantages of defined types (records / classes), in that you can do `.` and get precise autocomplete. If everything is just inferred, then the editor can't help you out as much.

Anyway, was just curious if you got anywhere.

Well, live and let live sounds pretty ideal, given that in several places across California conservative opinions are not tolerated.

Maybe we agree that a college town in Texas it's a place where opposing viewpoints can still coexist?

No scandal here since Newsom didn't write or vote on the PPP legislation and according to the article:

"In 2018, Gov. Newsom placed his ownership interests in the PlumpJack Group into a blind trust. This means he would have no knowledge or role in the company's business decisions made during his time in office."

Which is exactly what a politician should do.

Not to mention the businesses in question are restaurants and bars which are exactly the kind of businesses that should have received ppp loans in exchange for continuing to pay salaries to employees rather than laying them off.
Meanwhile in the parallel universe, in Russia, VKontakte provides full API access to anyone who clicks the button to create an API app. You only need manual review if you want access to messaging from user tokens, and that's a relatively recent change. Somehow, this hasn't turned into a privacy nightmare in more than 10 years the API was available.

I'm not defending VK — it does some increasingly user-hostile stuff too after having been acquired by Mail.Ru Group — but you can still integrate it into whatever the hell you want with ease.
I can contrast with C/C++ development, where C++17/20 are not available by default on many distros because package managers lag so far behind the curve and new projects get tied to outdated versions.

I just don't really see this as a problem - Rust really isn't that much of a moving target, and the benefit is there is one solution to the problem: use Rustup to manage your Rust installation.

That is significantly more robust than "use your package manager."

I've actually been wondering for a long time how Adobe was going to enforce their statement that Flash Content would stop working at the end of the year. This makes it sound like there's a date-based kill switch built into their software.

I don't think I like that. Yes, using Flash in a web browser once it has stopped receiving security updates is a bad idea, but what if you need to view a website in the Wayback Machine which incorporates flash, and you've set up an isolated VM for the purpose? I suppose you could set the VM's clock back, but that's a major PITA which could potentially cause other issues.

The existence of Flash Projector softens the blow significantly, but there will be some content that must be viewed within a web browser. Perhaps an earlier version of Flash Player lacks the kill switch?

It'll probably take a crash and burn of a few big names with VCs being very careful about any new company in that space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_censorship

> Political censorship exists when a government attempts to conceal, fake, distort, or falsify information that its citizens receive by suppressing or crowding out political news that the public might receive through news outlets. In the absence of neutral and objective information, people will be unable to dissent with the government or political party in charge. The term also extends to the systematic suppression of views that are contrary to those of the government in power.

I'm against political censorship most of all. I don't enjoy the current state of things in which private organizations are being utilized to spread misinformation that originated from a prominent voice of the government, and are faced with the difficult choice of adopting organizational censorship in order to combat political censorship.
I can't speak on how you can measure overlap, but after reading the FTC summary linked, it seems like the acquisitions are considered anticompetitive because Facebook recognized both Instagram and Whatsapp as potential threats to their primary product - Facebook - and sought to acquire them to neutralize that competitive threat.

Just to add - they also say the lawsuit is focusing not just on anticompetitive acquisitions, but anticompetitive practices related to developer access to APIs. Apparently Facebook has been heavy-handed towards developers that sought to use their APIs for any product that might have overlapped with their products. An example is Vine - Vine was apparently blocked from using the Facebook API to share videos or something.

Previously the webRequest API was the only way to do content blocking but now that there's an alternate way to do it they can block extensions still using the old way or gate it behind a special scary warning.

> Additionally, content blockers require the injection of content scripts on all pages and all frames embedded in those pages in order to properly implement additional blocking mechanisms which can't be done through network filtering.

My OP was talking about a very real problem where extensions are being sold and nefariously used to sniff credentials because they have full control over the tab execution environment. How do you propose to solve that problem while still allowing adblocking?
Yeah, I think this is indicative of a feature lock during the RC period, and once the release is cut that opened up a bunch of PRs that were just waiting in the wings.

All are examples of social assumptions that people are not qualified enough to evaluate evidence at face value without a substantial background in specialized knowledge.

If you claim that there's voting fraud and it turns out I'm not knowledgeable enough to evaluate that claim at face value, as a society we have a problem, just like a lot of the misinformation that leads to the voting public to support policies for erroneous reasons.

That's pretty much the basis for representative democracies (disregarding whether they're effective at it or not): choosing experts who have the time and inclination to decide policies that you would otherwise not be able to evaluate effectively on your own.

Edit: to cite a clear example: climate science is not a field where laymen can make useful opinions, although it's a field where anyone with a high-school level education can follow the reasoning behind the conclusions reached by the experts. And yet we have a political party that attempts to deny and politicize this topic without even a hint of qualifications to do so, and nonexperts believing that their opinions are useful, or a reflection of reality.

I believe this is the third time I see such a plea from the Chancellor. It is more intense every time.

However, it seems to fall on deaf ears. Everyone I know is planning to travel or gather for the holidays. There are already social gatherings, at the office or among friends. The weekly markets are as packed as ever (though Christmas markets are not allowed). No one cares beyond wearing a mask, and even that is too much for a small percentage of the population.

I try to hold my judgement, because this crisis has mostly spared me. However, the fact is that no one seems to care anymore. If the situation is critical now, I expect it to be completely out of control in January.

I am not the paragon of compliance, yet I feel like I'm crazy for staying at home and only seeing one or two people a week.
There's inherently wrong with circumstantial evidence. A lot of the most conclusive evidence can be circumstantial. DNS evidence is almost always circumstantial, yet nobody would use that to cast doubt on a claim.
Also people who didn’t receive a placebo who didn’t seem to respond at all and claimed to have received a placebo.

That's in absolute numbers. Per capita, it's number 8, which is still high, but still beat out by NY, NJ, and IL.
> This isn't really vendor lock-in, though. It's simply a technical/design lock-in. Going from unstructured to structured data presents problems, and if you do that, it's rightfully up to you to fix.

This is true, but it's also kind of vendor lock-in because there's a whole query language and aggregation pipeline for Mongo that's completely different to other databases. If I was using an RDBMS and was switching from MySQL to Postgres I think I would likely have a much easier time, because fundamentally it's all SQL (I know, there are differences between Postgres and MySQL, but it's a lot less, and a good ORM will smooth some of it out for you - at least initially)

I think this is basically equivalent to your example of not being able to easily move from AWS to Google Cloud because of their different APIs.

It doesn't seem like SQL-to-Mongo is impossible to implement, because there is third-party tooling for that (which I haven't tried): https://studio3t.com/knowledge-base/articles/sql-query/
I'm not who you've been talking to, but I can't help but laugh at this exchange.

>Censorship is going around to all the platforms and forcing them to remove content which has already been or is on the way to being displayed to the public.

No, actually, that isn't the definition. You guys just had a back and forth on this. You're artificially trying to limit the definition of "censorship" to fit your sentiment because your sentiment is not based in objective reality.

While I would agree with you that YouTube should not be compelled by law to host any content and can censor whatever they want (and we can, and should, refuse to use YouTube to host our videos and inform ourselves), it is still censorship, plain and simple.
The posts about censorship on hn continue to baffle me. Any large media provider (YouTube, Netflix) is already censoring literally everything you see on their sites. There is simply too much content on their sites, that being truly unbiased (chronological order) would be unusable from the perspective of a single user. Given I don’t agree that a blanket ban on certain content (lies) is acceptable, I think what the issue is here is letting this content disseminate virally to millions. This absolutely can be controlled and maybe the ability of posts to go viral should be the middle ground between censorship and total free speech anarchy. I don’t think corporations will ever do this though because viral content is what makes money.
I apologize for taking this less than seriously all things considered, it's a coping mechanism these days but I immediately thought of Blazing Saddles reading this
Beats me; given the historically low rate & the allegations of fraud, it seems to be you should do the review so that everyone can be confident in the results (in the event there was not significant fraud) or so that the fraud can be exposed (in the event there was).

One data point is in Arizona where the judge allowed 100 randomly-sampled envelopes to be reviewed for a signature, the democratic expert witness said 16 of them were inconclusive. However, the Judge ruled that that was not evidence of fraud. I'm not really sure how exactly you can conclude that, and the fact that we are apprently counting votes in AZ with signatures that don't match certainly doesn't make me particularly confident in the results.

I took the opposite route in 2010, and it didn't work out well for me. We sold it as a premium product, and it was hard to get adoption. Which made it hard to actually prove the benefits we claimed should exist.

That's not proof that we'd have fared better if we had open-sourced it. We took exactly the opposite route of MongoDB, with very stringent schemas to ensure data quality. That required a large up-front investment in time, and that was a hard sell too. The whole world went in the opposite direction, of schemaless databases and machine learning for "eh, good enough" answers.

Still, I'll always wonder if we wouldn't have failed so spectacularly if we'd open sourced it. The idea was a pretty good one, and we wrote some remarkable software to make it happen.
ok, I'd like to see a scientific research that proves that face coverings (not medical face masks within the first couple of hours in a hospital environment, and not n95 masks, but all these various "face coverings" that are mandatory in the majority of places across the nation) that people use on a daily basis, without access to proper washing and cleaning facilities available at hospitals, are indeed effective at preventing the spread of the virus.

I’m not aware of a business model that would keep a search company in business if they didn’t offer ads to go with it. On top of that, offering the ability to companies to target their ads to highly relevant consumers is incredibly valuable to our economy.
