Not a linkedin fan and I like the idea of focusing on what people use / want and not on what they don't.

That said, I suspect you underestimate the importance of pictures in terms of memory building and many other networking steps.
I didn't watch the episode. But, I don't think the effect of repealing 230 is in dispute. It would make hosting content you didn't write unfeasible. The questions is whether that is a good thing or not. And what new rule would replace it if any.

Personally, I think even a complete repeal with no replacement would be a good thing. The vast majority of social networks, forums, comment sections, and other public spaces online are a cancer that are destroying our society.

And censorship is a poor alternative. Even if you find yourself on the favorable side of the censors now, inevitably they will come for you.

> In the context of advertising, I read "57M" as $57,000.

?? I would expect to see $57,000 abbreviated as $57K.

They promised to produce documentation that should shed significant light on the situation by January 15 of this year [0]. In recent days, they have issued up to $800M tokens a day [1].

Which either means that everything is going just swimmingly, or that somebody is stuffing a few more suitcases with cash while heading for the airport. We may soon find out.

Techdirt didn't actually cite any factual errors. They complain that 60 Minutes made a bunch of mistakes due to their poor journalistic integrity then make a load of unsubstantiated opinions. The fact that facebook and youtube will usually do the right thing out of their own good will isn't really a defense of 230. Nor is 60 Minutes making a pat statement that "230 is bad" as much as saying that disinformation is proliferating and there's very limited legal recourse under 230. There's no advocacy for a simple repeal. The presentation is factual.

If what you are communicating needs to be guaranteed to never be crackable, you only need to use the oldest and most secure way of communicating before the days of internet and computers: short wave transmitted one time pad codes.

The reason that number stations continue to operate is that it really is the best way to communicate/order under surveillance which almost certainly is happening in every embassy in non-friendly countries.

One time pads are truly unbreakable and it's techniques have been refined for the past 80 years since Cold War began.

Luckily you don't need a shortwave radio anymore and the CIA I believe utilizes emoticons. Even if you intercept a bunch of smiley faces followed by a wink, how do you figure out the contents of the message when the medium to decode is completely unknowable?

It was only when they captured a few Cuban spies were they able to break the number stations operating out of Havana but this is perhaps the only case in history.
I can see it almost landing, one fin missing the catcher, and the whole thing going ass over teakettle into stuff near the pad.

It may end up being an argument for 5 fins, so that an off-center catch still puts the CoG well within the catching equipment.
Lawsuits to prevent people from hearing about reality.

Here in Washington we have a lot of houses built far too close to bluffs, and the trees on those bluffs cut down because they block the amazing view. The views are amazing for a couple of decades. Then the bluff erodes far enough that the house is condemned.

Seattle has a special example called Perkins Lane. It is a beautiful, almost idyllic little street looking out over the water. It is also used in civil engineering classes as an example because it has every possible kind of landslide, and half the lots on it have ceased to exist over the past century. They're just water. You still see new houses being built there.

That's the definition of cartel. Unions exist to maximize the amount they extract from buyers of labor. This is rent seeking plain and simple.

What's more, they don't compete with each other, which is what corporations must do. Why does the UAW get to enjoy a monopoly on the sale of autoworker labor? Should Ford and GM and Chrysler be able to unionize together to keep wage costs lower?
Problem is when I have a job I dislike, I loose all motivation outside of work too. So even if I slack off I'll still be miserable.
Stop that. This thread is for inferring people's intentions and then coming up with appropriately cartoonish motivations.

I personally think the author of this article is trying to give people clinical depression. But I'm having trouble figuring out how that fits into their leftist agenda. Maybe it's because leftists are themselves lazy and unmotivated, and they want to feel better about themselves by sabotaging others? But wouldn't they see that it's unfair to hurt other people just because of their own inadequacies?

I don't know, what do you think? I can't figure it out.
Give whatever moral arguments that you want. I will repeat once again. The person who I was responding to said " you're no worse off than you were before".

This statement is not true, and I have explained exactly how I would be worse off.

I would be worse off in that now I have to give money to the union, and I now have to be represented by their deals, and I don't want that. That is how I am worse off.

I don't care about your moral arguments. Instead I care about what hurts or helps me.
> They didn't sign up for that stuff

I find this sentiment quite weird honestly. The "contract" between the employee and the employer is that the employee does what the employer asks of them, and in return gets paid for his work. If these employees do not desire to work on projects that Google is getting, then they should terminate the contract and find work elsewhere.

So, Actually. That's exactly what they signed up for.

It is bonkers to me that a employee does not work on what the employee wants to work on, within a company, and yet also expects the employer to keep paying them.

This honestly sounds like so much privilege. These workers are top 1% of the world, it sounds like "whining" when you are not in their position.
NixOS everywhere is the only thing to me that feels like enough sovereignty that good security is possible.

Tons of Free Software is too complex or just shitty be secure (not that proprietary software is better though!), but at least I am in full control of that which I need to fortify.
I hear you, and I understand your reasoning. And yet...

Let's say it's an election year, and the decision is going to be made just a few months before the election. Let's say that the lives saved by a stay-at-home order will be mostly saved after the election, but the pain of the lockdown will be before it. (If any of that sounds familiar, it should.) Now how much do you trust your elected official? Still more than the doctor?

I trust the doctor to be non-political. Sometimes I really need that. I trust the elected official to more politically cued in. Sometimes we need that. I don't know how to pick. I want a balance, not one or the other.
While I agree you shouldn't be able to sue service providers, I think it is different because Twitter and Facebook recommend things for you to read and amplify the message.
The recommendation/amplification aspect is what needs liability.
This is a good start, but I'm not a huge fan of this the way it is now.

First, the font is tiny for my old eyes. Not all of us, especially hiring managers, are still in their 20s and can read these tiny fonts. I measured it with a ruler and the text is 1mm tall. Also, the font is gray on white, which is pretty but hard to read. In contrast, Linkedin is three times bigger and black on white, much easier to read.

Second, after looking at the example, I have almost no idea what you've done. All I see are job titles. I don't see any accomplishments or even job duties. It looks like I could add those things when I create my own profile, but having them missing on the example isn't a good look.

Third, the face circles. I see face circles under each job, but they aren't clickable nor are there tooltips. I have no idea what those are. I assume they're other people who worked at the same place? Maybe connections of yours who have worked at the same place? That's a cool idea, but it needs to be more discoverable. At the very least a tooltip would be good.

Overall, when I'm looking at a professional profile, I'm usually doing it because I want to hire or work with someone. The main information I want to know is 1) Do we have anyone in common I can ask about you? 2) What did you accomplish at your previous workplaces or otherwise? 3) Have you worked anywhere that I recognize and when, so I can ask my other friends who worked there if they know you?

The face circles accomplish #1, so that's great. #2 looks possible, but the design seems to minimize the accomplishments, as opposed to Linkedin which sort of puts it in your face. And #3 seems to be covered but again the design minimizes the information I want most.

I would say a good place to start would be asking yourself, "Why does Linkedin look the way it does?". A lot of their design comes from customer feedback, and their main customers are recruiters and hiring managers. Steal their good stuff and leave their dark patterns behind.
All schools are to close as he very clearly said.

This is not the only change. Overall this is back to full lockdown as it was in March, which is quite stricter that the current situation (aka tier 4 in most of England)

Edit: yes, children of key workers are still accepted although schools are closed, like in March. He said that, you guys clearly understood that. Let's not be disingenuous here...
The will of the people isn’t static, in 2012 Oregon voters rejected marijuana legalization, only to approve it in 2014. Is it your position that once there is a referendum it can’t be revisited by the legislature at a later date? The last driver’s license initiate was voted on six years ago.

Also, there’s nothing stopping another initiative campaign to repeal the law. If the people voted it repeal it, it would be repealed. That doesn’t sound like tyranny at all.

The writer is Taylor Lorenz - most of her stuff is pretty awful.

Earlier this year she attacked the Away CEO Steph Korey, she then spun Balaji's tweet that used Taylor's own words with a misleading crop to play victim:

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-July-2020-Twitter-spat-bet...

She defends Tiktok and the CCP out of ignorance because she prefers writing everything as anti-facebook, anti-US tech (this was a similar twitter thing a couple months ago, but there's no quora summary).

Recently she was tweeting NIMBY style things about new housing ruining the character of the neighborhood and blaming tech for wanting more housing.

Everything she writes starts with a massive anti-tech motivated reasoning bias and then crafts a story around it. I think she also defended recode here, but I'm not 100% sure (I've since blocked her on Twitter): https://medium.com/@balajis/citations-for-the-recode-handsha...

I wouldn't put much thought into her articles, she's the main person that comes to mind when I think of the decline of the NYT.

meh, a bunch of generalizations that are true enough some of the time so that they sound deep and thoughtful to anyone not thinking too hard.

The fact is, anyone giving "truth" on hyper success is full of it. There just aren't enough hyper-successful people out there to generate a large enough same size to discern meaningful patterns. Hyper successful people are, by definition, very rare, and any attempt to find broader patterns and commonalities is silly.

Most of us would do well to focus on avoiding a bad life instead of pursuing an epic one. Don't neglect your health, your friendships or your marriage. Don't hold grudges or give headspace to toxic people. Quit your job when you start to hate it. Do those things and you may not become a billionaire, but life will probably be pretty good to you.
A good start would be to end the need for medical licensing. It creates an artificially low supply of doctors thus increased costs. Before medical licensing there were more breakthroughs and competition.
Looks like a continuation of the Gebru show: the SJW leaders are threatening to unionize. If they really cared about the workers, they'd talk about non compete agreements.
Because then you have to wire it all up manually which is a lot of work and likely won't look good. No one sells fans, gpus and mobos in the exact color you want so its easier to buy RGB everything and configure it to be the color you want.

Installing openrgb is infinitely easier than wiring up LEDs inside fans imo.
For what it’s worth, the typescript type system is at or nearly at a point where these kinds of constraints are possible (with the caveat that runtime validation requires extra work or compiler level hackery).

When TS 4.1 hit beta, I did a proof of concept validating that a `number` was a non-negative integer, and it works[1]. Many similar or even substantially more complex constraints are possible (I’m exploring type level JSON Schema validation of example values, and I’m not quite there but do I believe it’s possible).

I’m sure this kind of thing is child’s play in ML family languages, but it’s really cool to get this level of compile time certainty in a dynamic language.

[1]: my proof of concept was using literals without accounting for exponential representations etc, but I have no reason to doubt these are also achievable based on the ways I’ve seen 4.1+ used.
This looks beautiful, except I have no idea why there are rows of tiny faces under some of the items. It's not at all clear what they mean, and they make the page ugly (in my opinion) by messing up the composition.

As the only circular objects on the page, as numerous as they are, and as intensely saturated blobs on an otherwise calm, white document, they are incredibly loud. They're so loud that they almost make it harder to read the text. Just get rid of them.
Do you have reason to believe there's a problem with the gpg signatures in their repo?
They are technical debt with no monetary impact however. If my servers crash and I have downtime because customers can't use my website or product that's a problem. If I suffer a massive security breach and loose all of my customers personal information, I am not going to face any consequences.
> Why do you only ask about fallible unions?

Precisely because you've added a redundant argument of fallible corporations to the thread that makes a case about corrupt unions that negatively impact law-abiding high-skilled professionals. This was the concern I initially raised.

> My point is simple. These are all human institutions. They're not "problems" with "solutions".

I think they are, unless these institutions have no purpose and do not set any goals.

> And, to answer your second question, I believe the scenario you idealize creates externalities like environmental pollutions which kills citizens

For that we've already got a court system that is capable, after a proper due process, of fining and criminally charging everyone who is proven to be guilty. I'm not advocating for dispersing them, I'm advocating for separating state affairs from economics, in the same manner and for the same reason why religion and church was separated from the state in the western world a few centuries ago.

> consider what the food industry, meatpacking plants, etc, would look like without OHSA

what responsibility do OSHA, FDA, SEC, etc inspectors and supervisors carry for regulatory failure? I know what happens to the producers and owners of those plants who fail to provide safe environment and products, or who commited fraud and got caught, I've never heard of government inspectors and commitee members going to jail for any of those cases that led to citizens' harm. At most, and in very rare cases with a lot of public pressure they get permanently banned from holding similar positions in the future.
Yeah people are "lazy" in that they don't want to spend precious few free hours of their weeks grinding out a gimmicky skill-set that is at best tangential to the actual work they would be doing.

I understand there is no simple solution to how to hire software engineers, but you should be able to recognize why a lot of us don't like the current status quo of interviewing (even if you thrive in it).
Different domain locations have different rules. For example, if you want to get a .sg domain, you need a Singapore entity. If you want a .aero domain, you need to show you're an aerospace business to the registrar.
Natural sand dunes with native vegetation are the best way, large erosion events will always happen and these limit the extent and provide a buffer for sand to be restored. I don't think you can have building on the oceanfront and keep beaches long term though.
That's not true, though. Pre-internet bookstores could sell libelous books without being liable for their contents. You can't sue Barnes and Noble for selling books that defame you, you have to sue the author.

Section 230 extends that regime to websites that host other people's content.

This is a valid possibility, interesting to see such double standards applied to different tech companies based on the residence of their HQ.
Much like certain sports teams and other cult products or companies its loyal supporters are incredibly annoying and turn off people who might otherwise be open to it.
At Qbix, we have recognized the Feudal nature of Web 2.0 for a while. You can talk about this for years and years (as people have done with UBI and other things) or you can build the solutions. The same way that talking about vegetarianism is never going to convert people as much as the Impossible Burger, an actual meat alternative, ever will.

About 20 years ago, the original Web 1.0 has disrupted AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy etc. which were walled gardens. It unleashed trillions in value through new business models like SAAS and E-Commerce. But there is no good open source alternative these days to the Web 2.0 feudal lords, including Google, Facebook, etc. Because it's harder to do.

Without sound overly cocky, I think we are perhaps the closest to do it. You can see for yourself at https://qbix.com/token (you can ignore the token part, as it's optional, but it's basically building a micropayment monetization model for digital content, including journalism and open source software, on the new open source Web 2.0)

I suppose that is one interpretation. The distribution of the controversies is skewed to the recent years though. 14 in the past 34 years seems kind of high to me. What changed that they went from 0 controversies in the first 18 years to this current level?
