From Kristof's article:

>Its site is infested with rape videos.

Not illegal in the US. In fact, there is plenty of consensual porn made to look like women are being assaulted or coaxed into sex.

> came across many videos on Pornhub that were recordings of assaults on unconscious women and girls. The rapists would open the eyelids of the victims and touch their eyeballs to show that they were nonresponsive.

If I come upon an adult being assaulted, including sexually, and recorded the incident, this is perfectly legal in the US. That said, there is consensual porn that falls into this category, made by professional outfits.

>It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags.

It monetizes all content, even illegal content which hasn't been reviewed or reported. This is how it works for all sites that allow user generated content, including YouTube.

Racist and misogynist content isn't illegal in the US.

There are plenty of BDSM videos including footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags. You can find men and women with hot wax being poured on their genitalia or needles piercing their genitalia. You can find golden showers and scat too. None of that content is illegal in the US.

>Unlike YouTube, Pornhub allows these videos to be downloaded directly from its website.

Really? We all know this isn't true because of youtube-dl. Restricting downloads will not work for the determined. If the browser can see it, it can be downloaded.

>A search for “girls under18” (no space) or “14yo” leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos. Most aren’t of children being assaulted, but too many are.

By the author's own admission, most of the results were not true. Of those that have illegal content, report it. There is only so much a site can do to weed out illegal user generated content. PornHub doesn’t encourage illegal content or turns a blind eye to it. The company uses many of the automated tools that Microsoft and Google developed for fingerprinting pictures and videos of child pornography.

>Depictions of child abuse also appear on mainstream sites like Twitter, Reddit and Facebook.

You can find videos of adults beating children with all manner of household items. You can find videos of vehicles running over people with their twisted, mangled bodies laying in the street. You can find killings of rival gangs in Mexico and Brazil, or state executions in Iran and Iraq. None of this stuff is illegal in the US.

It would be nice if the author focused on the illegal content, rather than the stuff he finds distasteful.
> Yeah, for sure. Call it freedom of information, add a little bit of common sense to it, and your argument renders itself completely invalid.

No it doesn't. Obviously you aren't grasping the concept of free speech (and its limits).

> Google demonstrates that it doesn't follow a revenue driven agenda with these actions. It involves itself in selecting political views that it deems acceptable to influence the opinions of a world wide audience.

As is its legal right to do so.

> It is large enough to take on a quasi governmental role. If it was just acting as a neutral platform, I would buy your argument, but it obviously doesn't.

"Quasi government" is a meaningless word and doesn't really help your argument. Why would it have to act as a neutral platform?
>exceptions to the First Amendment.

In other words, a but. Which is the whole point - the original statement was you can't have freedom of speech with "buts". We already have "buts", and most people would agree we have freedom of speech.

A functioning society can't have the unbridled "freedom of speech" op is insinuating we should have. You aren't free to lie in a court of law, that's infringing on your freedom of speech. You can't falsely accuse someone of a crime - also an infringement on freedom of speech. Add countless other exceptions to the rule. And all of that is ignoring the fact that "freedom of speech" doesn't mean: other people are forced to listen to you or repeat what you said.
Drivers were so underpaid they were stealing food.

Many of the restaurants had to repackage their food in such a way that it could be sealed so that they could deny claims for theft.

That's not the sign of well-paid employees.

If you haven't consented to share your contacts with Facebook, but two people have consented who have you as a phone contact, then you're a link. This can be "interesting" when one of the parties has a duty to maintain privacy, like a psychiastrist. See this article: https://splinternews.com/facebook-recommended-that-this-psyc...
I really don't have a dog in this fight. I'm not a US citizen. I cannot stand Trump. I pretty much only care about this issue from an information architecture pov.

But ... from my understanding, a hand-count is not the same as an electoral audit. An audit exhaustively looks at the systems, procedures, and the path that the data has traveled in order to verify the result.

From what I'm aware of, that is what Trump people are disputing? Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Did you miss the video in the link?

Did you click through the link at all?

It's curious that you are using a new account with a gibberish name to make all these claims.
I don’t know about you but whenever I take a picture and share it with friends I trust that the company who’s picture I just gave two he’s going to make the best use of it on their platform.

They have to monetize and I approve.

Hell I’m willing to bet if Facebook puts into their agreement that every photo you upload to their platform is partially owned by them then people will still upload photos.

It’s not the data that we find valuable, it’s the connections they make or will make, and to this company. Next time you take a photo and find it’s shared with not just Facebook but a whole slew of other companies you tell me if that’s the right thing to do.

The person above said “do you trust all Facebook employees” well you can make that blanket argument for every company in existence and giving more companies our data isn’t a good solution
It's always the same. Lie endlessly the news, and they tell a different story under oath, or they go to jail for it.

Over and over again.
Insurance policies are not hard to understand. They have a deductible and an out of pocket maximum. Most employer provided plans have a very affordable out of pocket max. Mine is $4000. After that I don't pay anything. In the event of an accident, I'd be fine.

Basing anything on the horror stories will make you think everything is bad. Many americans think Europe is a communist hell hole where people steal your money through taxes overrun by islamists.
Where did you get the idea that "blocking webRequest API" and "extensions being sold" are part of the same problem requiring to be solved by the removal of the blocking ability of the webRequest API?

There are good examples out there of extensions exfiltrating browsing information and which didn't required a blocking webRequest to gather such information, and they were not content blockers.

I am not the only person having an issue with the deprecation of the blocking ability in MV3, see this EFF article:

Funny how we keep coming back full circle. A common optimization trick back in the day was to use pjax/turbolinks to achieve exactly this pattern. You could even go one step further and start loading on mouseover, rather than on click, giving you upwards of a one second head start.
You fail to see it.

But the laws are very clear on it.

Perhaps you’re not looking?

I know it’s hip in the tech scene to wave off politics, but the rest of physical reality still exists.
> No, but we also shouldn’t censor people for making those claims.

This is not the same argument as

> These same claims are being made in ongoing court cases.

I think your argument is definitely worth considering, but the “there are court cases” is clearly wrong.
As a man of Scottish descent, this fellow appears to presume we would even know the names of the sort of places that take his money.

But I admire his cavalier way of being. I'd have a drink with him, even if I had to keep my dogs out of sight.

Huzzah! I say.
I know that there's a formal definition of capitalized "Open Source" by the OSI, but I'm also not enchanted by that being the only definition for lower-case "open source". I think that the lower case open source is really more about a general approach to software (or intellectual property in general, really). Some people want to use terms like "libre" to refer to projects that have most of the practical characteristics of open source projects, but not an OSI-approved license, but I kind of think that the lower-case version of the term is important because it's reached a point of basically a colloquialism.

There's room for a grey area, but I think that the parent's comment about how Mongo's license relates to the overwhelming majority of it's community to use it (in that, functionally, it doesn't) still pushes farther towards open source than it does proprietary with source-available.
At around 1:54:50, upon full landing thrust, the exhaust flames turn green. I know colored flames from chemistry classes, but I always assumed that was caused by certain salts.

Rocket fuel, to my knowledge, does not contain any of those ingredients. Can someone explain what happened there? Was this planned?

Yeah, I dont order from food apps too often because a lot food doesn't travel well.

Most fried things are soggy by the time they reach you.

Many people don't seem to care though.
Gore's election was especially disputed because it literally came down to stopping a recount in a handful of key districts. I can't tell for sure what the result would have been otherwise but I think there's more legitimacy to that claim than here where people are complaining about millions of votes in multiple states.
A Youtube video, fantastic! Yet you'll blindly compare that to physical threats of violence that we continue to see over and over which have been instigated by misleading or false statements from our sitting President?

You have surrendered your natural right to steal or to commit murder--rights that you would possess devoid of a system of governance. These liberties you and others have sacrificed are exchanged for common security and self-preservation. Whether or not your rights are limited to protect other people's rights (or for some other purpose) is irrelevant. You are forced to abide by these restrictions because of the social contract between yourself and the government which creates and enforces these laws.
If the user is running Chrome the cert will not be trusted if it's not been sent to public CT logs.

I'll give you that - based on a brief search - this does not appear to apply to other browsers yet.

They risk losing their status as a trusted CA.
This is not exactly a fair comparison because it is documented and configurable but I've recently found out apt on its default settings does something unexpected (for me at least) when removing packages (purge + autoremove): Normally you (I) would expect all automatically installed dependencies (depends/recommends/suggests) to be gone after this, if no other package references them in its depends/recommends lists (which is what gets installed on the default settings).

However it turns out if a package suggests another package and that other package somehow gets installed, the suggested package will not be autoremoved anymore because autoremove honors suggests relationships as a reason for not removing automatically installed packages. While there are valid reasons for this (e.g. when installing something with --install-suggests) it also amounts to a lot of unwanted packages after a while of installing/uninstalling software. I don't know if this has an widespread name but I call it "suggestion congestion" for that.

Of course, one can turn this off by setting APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant to "false". And really, that is an awful problem to solve since you have to deal with different users and package maintainers with different expectations. And apt still solves a lot more problems that it creates.

But I'm now convinced that there is no such thing as a clean uninstall. At least not until the year of the stateless ZFS snapshot rollback NixOS desktop.
I'm calling out a bullshitter.

Eh, you can always do `scrollTo(0, 0)` if you just want the scroll-to-top functionality at the expense of everything else.

What I just can't understand about companies like DoorDash, Uber Eats etc. is that it seems to be a lose-lose-lose proposition. It's more expensive for the consumer with restaurants often raising prices and delivery fees etc; the restaurants make less money per order; and the delivery drivers are often making less than minimum wage and rapidly depreciating their cars. And on top of that, these companies themselves are mostly unprofitable!

So who is benefiting here? Where is the true value for society being created? Yes I can get any restaurant meal delivered to my home in 30-45 min, but is that one small benefit really enough to sustain a $60bn market cap?

In Seattle, the official crime rate is down, but a lot of people have simply stopped reporting crimes because of lack of response. The actual crime rate is unknown. But the boarded up shop windows say a lot.
I asked DHH the other day about the server side aspects of NEW MAGIC and he replied with: https://twitter.com/nickjanetakis/status/1334940603457658883

So we know NEW MAGIC will involve a substantial amount of integration with Rails on the server side but it could technically be ported over to other frameworks.

It's interesting because StimulusJS 2.0 and Turbolinks 6 are fully client side based on previous tweets by members of Basecamp. I wonder if NEW MAGIC will be focused on broadcasting real-time updates to the front-end while partial page updates that would normally be server rendered templates could be handled by Turbolinks 6 alone. That would be great news for anyone wanting to create amazing feeling apps with any back-end stack, without going the SPA route.

Having grown up gay in Dallas, I didn't exactly have a great experience. While I'm sure Tyler is worse, even Dallas is not so accepting (unless you're planning to move to Oak Lawn and never leave your neighborhood).
This is such a good feature. Go has been great for shipping single purpose binaries (like the CLI for https://fly.io), but I really enjoy writing TypeScript more than Go.
I really don't see your point.

There are loads of small pizza places that make money and they don't have some "special"/"magic" pizza recipe. There are also loads of pizza chains that make money as well selling basically the same product. I am not pizza lover, for me it is just another dish so maybe I am wrong.
It sounds like you have easy access to money and have never been broke. Banks don't give "business loans" to poor people. The first question they ask is what kind of security or personal guarantee you can give and when the answer is "nothing", their answer is "no."

If you do manage to borrow money and things don't work out, you have to pay it back and that takes a long time when you're going back to the crappy income level you were trying to escape. It's not like Silicon Valley venture capital where you say sorry and get another bag of cash to try again.

> Also the cost per year is less relevant, if you earn more from selling domains every year. Only the difference is relevant (costs vs income).

Yeah, but the person with the money to start has 200+ domains and a (supposed) $1 million portfolio. The person who bought 1 domain using the same strategy might have a portfolio worth a few thousand dollars. They're not going to be writing a blog bragging about their portfolio or landing business deals because of the million dollar business they built.

The point I was trying to make is that if you take a rich person and a poor person with the exact same skill set and idea, the rich person will be viewed as being super successful (making a million dollars) while the poor person, although personally happy with the outcome, would be viewed as a loser if they make $10k and "waste" it on something like a reliable vehicle.

It's also a bit amusing to me that if a poor person wanted to start flipping domains using a 5 letter .com, like the person in the article, they'd have to buy the domain from a squatter.
> Bitching about skipping the peer-review process in the face of a global pandemic is self-important nonsense.

Making results available to peers is the basis of science, which is a short word that means being sure things work as we think they do.

Without peer review, no one has any idea of what the vaccine does.

What if the vaccine is nothing but a big old placebo? How can we tell?

It's far more than mere "bitching". Way more than that. The Royal Society's motto is 'Nullius in verba', which means "take nobody's word for it". Think about it.

Of all places to hear that blend of anti-science, I wasn't expecting to read it here.
>as any other rocket launch provider or space-faring nation, I'd be scared shitless now.

Russian Space agency "Roskosmos" strikes back - it plans to produce alcohol, perfume, clothes, etc. under the trade mark "Poehali" ("let's go") - the word famously uttered by Gagarin when the rocket started to ascent.

(in Russian) https://lenta.ru/news/2020/11/13/poehali/

Also comes to mind the "Souz vs. Crew Dragon" tweet couple months back by a Russian cosmonaut which brought the Roskosmos CEO and the other top bureaucrats there into boiling publicly with rage https://twitter.com/Msuraev/status/1313945340039528448/photo...
I don't see anyone talking about the gap in the market and the millions of dollars youtube is putting on the table for some other company (or companies for that matter).
"You have to look which countries people are actually migrating from."

This is a misunderstanding. 'Wealthy' people tend to not migrate anywhere, even America.

Amazingly talented and hard working Asians are coming to America in droves, which is a massive source of competitive wellbeing.

Google, Microsoft, Adobe etc. filling up the ranks with E. and SE. Asians at maybe 33% of their staff in SV for example.

> So, as someone who used to be an engineer in semiconductor manufacturing facilities, this reminds me a lot of Sematech.

However, the prior initiative was VHSIC and that basically produced the modern semiconductor industry (including the software tools!) in the US.

I was always under the impression that the difference between VHSIC and Sematech was simply that VHSIC threw around a LOT more money.
Learning how to interpret media means successfully defeating some of the best psychological tactics ever created. Bertrand didn't face these tactics and his methods are completely ineffectual at dealing with them.

"Learning how to interpret" the media is not even possible any longer.
Honestly, I won't be sad if this means appliance and VM image providers (for on-prem / private cloud application hosting) switch to Debian en masse. I only use CentOS where Debian is not an option.

> The average small business loan for California companies retaining 14 employees was roughly $128,000. Yet, the PlumpJack entity Villa Encinal Partners LP - that according to SBA data also retained 14 employees - received more than seven times that amount at $918,720.

> ABC7's analysis found the only other California winery that received close to the same loan amount as Villa Encinal Partners LP is Oak Knoll Farming Corp, which retained 79 employees - more than five times as many as Villa.

> The average number of employees retained for every California winery that received more than $900,000 worth of PPP funding is 148.

> Another company affiliated with the PlumpJack Group is Balboa Cafe Partners LP that received a $506,799 loan on April 29, 2020. A commercial data firm estimated in June 2020 that Balboa Café Partners employed seven individuals, but SBA data associated with their loan application states they retained 55 employees.

Pretty interesting. Also of note is how many of PlumpJack's businesses received PPP Loans when thousands of other small businesses couldn't even get a response on their applications...
Putting your data publicly online can be not only used by Facebook but all your friends too, hell sometimes profile images end up on google, so just because they had no real idea it shouldn’t be facebooks fault if your friends decide to print screen your photo and redistribute it. That data you put out publicly is public once it’s in public domain the public will use it

F-4 they are clearly on a path to profitability...

It seems silly to even focus on profitability at IPO when credit is so cheap. Growth trajectory is rewarded and based on the S-1 they are growing in a healthy enough fashion. This is VERY different than WeWork which had massive amounts of debt on their books and didn't have a plan out.

Again, if you keep getting hung up on profitability you aren't really realizing what stage Doordash is at or the maturity level by which companies are expected to be profitable
That is an absolutist assertion that I'd argue is blatantly untrue. I'd like to hear your reasoning behind this statement.
