Every video conference must send streams to the SPLC, ADF, and FBI to make sure that no ideas or theories that might incite violence are being shared.
I enjoyed learning the difference between NixOS, nix (eg, nix-build, nix-env,...) Nix Language, and nixpkgs.

Knowing the difference of tools in the belt is like knowing the blades themselves. You can always make your own tools.

If I can't package something with nix, then I call it "metal"
Yes, this exact issue frustrates me to no end.

Another related issue: when saving something from Firefox, the file picker opens into _a random directory_ each time. Like maybe 50% of the time, it will be the most-recently-used directory, but the rest of the time it is a random directory that I had saved something to at some point in the distant past.

It boggles the mind how these bugs can persist for years upon years, but my occasional forays into the GNOME bugtracker indicate that the developers just don't seem to care one bit about this stuff. They often seem downright hostile and defensive and dismissive of the bug reports, either closing them as WONTFIX or ignoring them until they rot.
Well if you're just renting the CoL difference is nowhere near the salary difference you'd get in other locations/careers.

This is in my experience emblematic of GNOME in general. I've shaken the dust off my sandals and don't use anything gnome-y if I can avoid it.

Here's the thing that convinced me, a while back: https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAske...

They address this in in the letter.

> Accordingly we have a zero-tolerance policy towards threats of violence and unlawful speech. As to controversial but nonetheless legal speech we believe, as Justice Brandeis did, that “sunlight is the best disinfectant, electric light the most efficient policeman.

If Gab doesn’t have the resources to operate responsibly, and also cannot garner the support needed to do so, then it’s arguable that Gab shouldn’t exist.

This is no "play". I hadn't known until now that SV's ideologically-motivated hatred of alternative social networks had kept Gab from having decent CSA mitigation tech (I thought this was something you could get under more-or-less FRAND or as-needed terms), but apparently you need their blessing to do so.

Forget partisan politics for a moment. How is that not anticompetitive?

I've never noticed such issue, quick search shows that one has to start on edge and movement in vertical direction [1]. Vanilla edges are 8% of the width on each side [2]. There was a proposal to add configuration option [3], rejected — they've tried this route before, it was impossible to test.

Fortunately source is there and it is easy to patch (try to set 0%). That's quite common, for example there are several patched libinput on AUR [5].

Algorithms are not editorial decisions. This kind of change would make any kind of recommendation algorithm unviable.
It was not the first thing they thought to include, it is an amendment -- literally something they did not bother to include when the wrote the original constitution. It is also very clear from the context and time at which it was written that the "speech" referred to in the first amendment is political discourse, not speech in general. Plotting a violent overthrow of the government is not what the Founders had in mind, something that they themselves made clear:

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

See the part about making false statements critical of the US government? Funny how Gab was created in response to Twitter taking action to stop people from doing exactly that on their platform. Whatever free speech ideal Gab stands for is not what people who ratified the first amendment had in mind.
Did you read the letter? Gab specifically said that their efforts to block calls to violence and help authorities investigate suspects have been hampered by big tech's blacklisting of them from services (such as PhotoDNA).
He knows how they work — but he also knows his constituents don't know how they work. And they don't care how they work. So he says what his voters want to hear.

It's bad faith, intellectual dishonesty, and cowardice. And sadly: it's the norm.

Too many elected officials value their political career over doing the right thing. I think that's probably the strongest argument for term limits: being a professional politician just shouldn't exist as a career track.
I’m an American so I always thought it’s cool you have NHS because we have to either pay for our own health insurance or we get it from our employer. What do you mean by health insurance there - are those additional offerings that NHS doesn’t provide?

I have never used Pulumi, I've used Terraform a bit. I like Terraform so this isn't a dig at the tools.

Abstracting your cloud provider is similar to abstracting your database. At a high-level they appear to be the same, they do similar things however the are very different when you get to the fine detail.

Pulmi / Terraform are useful in the provide a common language / API between cloud providers however you will never just switch cloud provider with changing a few lines of code.
Ok, lets put our entire communications into the hands of a handful of corporations. What could go wrong.
I don't have any particular affinity for Gab, but TFA pretty clearly addresses your concern: namely, they never claim that free speech compels SV companies from associating with Gab, rather that the lack of cooperation makes it difficult for Gab to police illegal speech. I don't know the extent to which that claim is true, but it's a different claim altogether than the one you are perceiving.
>In their zeal to bend to “woke” political agendas or outside pressure groups, our contemporaries in the Valley forget the social importance of letting off steam and of exposing bad ideas, and bad people, to public scrutiny.

I just have no time for this. You aren't exposing people to "public scrutiny" when you both give them the anonymity of the internet, and gleefully create an echo chamber where things like racial superiority and violence against others are glorified and re-affirmed.

The message of "poor me" has been fine-tuned. It falls apart pretty quickly if you spend 10 minutes actually looking at the content on the site.

Furthermore, if your end goal is truly "public scrutiny" to the ideals being posted on your site, why are you complaining that the public scrutiny has resulted in everyone in the valley telling you to go away? Isn't that EXACTLY what you claim the site is fostering?

> Gab is an absolute cesspool of delusional QAnon conspiracies

I see a lot of people say this but I've never seen anyone back it up with sources.

What is the metric for "absolute cesspool of delusional QAnon conspiracies" and what makes Gab fit that metric better than Facebook or Twitter?
I love how the grandstanding of pointing out they don’t make public remarks becomes a public remark. Get real. Gab is allowed to operate how they wish, and we are allowed to ignore them and not engage them. Let them die out as the only online island of neo-nazism and nationalist white pride. Good luck with that.

The whole crusade to make ANY published content ANYWHERE to be classified as free speech is misguided and twists what the first amendment says.
Unless you have a very strong reason to continue working there (Visa tied to the job comes to mind) then it's probably time to leave. It's highly unlikely that your manager will change, and you shouldn't waste your energy on trying to remedy the situation. As the age-old adage goes, people don't leave jobs, they leave managers.
> it’s a common retort meant to shutdown discussion on censorship

For your reference, I did not say it to shut down the discussion.

I purposefully said it to open up the discussion in order to hear viewpoints like this.

It's something I'm very interested in seeing discussed and I would like to learn more about both sides of the argument in general.
the poster you are replying to seems to be arguing that Qanon people should be a protected class under the civil rights act because it's a hokey pseudo religion with prophecies, shamans, and everything. That absolutely does apply to private companies. I don't really know what to make of that as I am not a lawyer, but I'm not making a legal argument but a moral one.

Internet businesses are natural monopolies and being banned from one can ruin your life without trial in a way that was unprecedented for private companies to be able to do in the past. In the near future somebody who is banned from both Paypal and Stripe will be close to being perpetually unbanked in some lines of work. The way progressives have cheered on giving tech companies this much power over our lives has been dispiriting
This sure seems accurate to me, from what I've personally observed, but I don't understand what motive they might have. What's the point of controlling popular software by making everybody hate it?
¿Por que no los dos?

But wait, there's more!

- Monopoly / antitrust

- Free speech

- Sedition / insurrection

- Property rights (of vendors)

- Freedom of association (vendors)

- National security

- Incitement, accountability

Interests and values require balancing. Some may weight more heavily than others.
Given the diminishing appetite for free expression in most of the online platforms these days, this letter is particularly refreshing.

I've been thinking a lot about what a modern suppression-free platform would look like.

I recall fondly the wild-west crazy freedom of the early IRC in all its magnificence and horror.

I wonder if something could be done with inspiration from Mastodon and IPFS over WebRTC. I've also been thinking a lot about what a distributed web index/search platform would look like with indexeddb and WebRTC.
> - Speech without a platform isn't speech at all

Free speech is the freedom to say what you like without punishment. It doesn't mean that everyone has a natural birthright to an audience, or to free, global distribution of their speech.
As pritambaral mentioned, they can make some minor changes to the server that are just enough to cause the client to no longer work.

If you think supporting free speech is a moral imperative even for private companies, why do keep posting on a heavily moderated forum like HN that regularly bans people for trolling and being rude? Is that a tacit admission that censorship is sometimes desirable? If you were consistent about applying your principles you would boycott HN too.
This is what happens when people don't read and just spew stuff. Go read "Wealth of Nations" and see Adam Smith's words about monopolies.

...did you skip the part where you're wearing an Apple Watch?

Because when the watch isn't on my wrist, I have to either enter my password or hit TouchID, waking up the computer gets me to the password dialog box. Which, to be fair, I can start typing the password directly because the cursor is in the correct place.

And this is what you would want, if waking it up meant no authentication then J Random Badguy could in fact walk up and pwn my computer.
Thanks for the links, particularly the second one. It looks like something I may have experimented with before but I'll try again. It could be that my touchpad does not support ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR (Dell XPS 2-in-1 2019).

I believe the point is that it denies them the tools they could use to put an end to the sort of behaviour SV is actually boycotting. You'll see in the 'screed' they referred to PhotoDNA by microsoft which is used to detect, disrupt and report child abuse material.

Can you defend denying Gab the tools it needs to efficiently remove material of that nature?
Conspiracy theories that might drive someone to violence are protected speech in this country. Many “conspiracy” theories have proved true, e.g. the CIA’s insane antics in the 50s-80s.

We don’t have a Committee of Truth that determines what is true and therefore legally speakable.

If facts or alleged facts drive people to violence, that is the responsibility of those engaged directly in violence (or actually inciting it).

Incitement in America is basically: “let’s go burn down that building right now”. “As a moral matter, someone ought to burn down that building” is protected speech.

I love this comment. One of the reasons I prefer using MacOS as my daily driver even though I have a lot of complaints.

Sadly, due to the ever-increasing number of non-Cocoa apps (primarily Electron ones), these features are getting the boot.
it occurs to me that one nice example of a systematic disadvantages being used in order to induce mastery in tech is in the Project Euler problems, where the tasks are generally to solve mathematical problems via programming, but under the constraints that generally, the brute-force solutions have wildly infeasible computation time, but when approached with appropriate algorithm design and mathematical foundation, can be (and in order to consider as 'solved' are required to be) made to run in under one minute of computation time on standard consumer hardware.
A bit of an odd letter, since Warner’s letter isn’t asking for documents but rather establishing a “duty to preserve” [1] due to high likelihood of impending litigation. IIUC, the senator’s letter is about all that can be done while the Senate is not in session.

Insurrections are not protected free speech, and Gab may have liability. No doubt this will be litigated, and if Gab were to delete content now (as opposed to removing access), this might constitute obstruction of justice.

>The lesson should be that it was still a mistake to take civil liberties away

I agree. No one should take Stripe's civil liberties away from them.
Haha, you made my day with that reply.

Sure, you’re right.

Compared to the scale you had to worry about 20 years ago, I guess you need less severs to get the same thing now.
Does this still protects people?
Violent speech is pretty strongly protected under modern First Amendment law. Direct incitement to imminent violence isn't protected, but that's a very narrow exemption; even statements like "we need to get violent here" aren't going to be over the line. (One of the canonical free speech cases is Watts v. United States, where the defendant's statement that he'd try to shoot then-president Johnson if he were drafted was ruled to be protected speech.)
(sorry only skimmed the article)

Didn't see anything adjusting for the success rates between the groups of black vs white doctors in general. Are these differences present?
It doesnt sound hard to figure it out.

Let's go with the president/senates of the most powerful country on the planet first.

Ultimately, we should apply to every official leader of every country. But that can come later.

Yes, we can get the court order (or whatever it is, I'm not familiar with the name) to forbid Trump from using Twitter.

We do this all the time while performing investigation (e.g. forbidding a person to travel after making bail).
There are plenty of alternatives though, they don't own anything to porn industry. They just don't want to associate themselves with these people and it's their right to do so.

The engineering job (regardless of specific engineering discipline) is essentially solving business problems using applied science. That's it.

If you don't let your engineers understand the business problem they're supposed to solve, you're wasting valuable resources.
Sadly, these days JavaScript tends to be compressed and minified and bundled into frameworks that are much harder to peer into…
The first amendment doesn’t prohibit discrimination against protected classes though, that’s an entirely different section of the legal code.
Collectively, the tech giants are more powerful today. In the 90s there was at least a robust market for Windows apps (besides office suites or browsers); today the underlying platforms and many of the top apps are from the giants. I would say any individual tech company today is less influential than MS was, though.
They are welcome to build their own system, or find an ideological peer that built a system to partner with.

Why should I, as a business owner, be required to do business with those I find repugnant?
Under this theory, none of the current social media giants could have ever existed.

They all started out small and mostly unmoderated.
So are you arguing for declaring cloud computing platforms public utilities?
I'm not sure why you say that. Bugzilla had a partial patch with some outstanding issues needing polish. Nobody rejected it, but nobody is working on it anymore. You're welcome to take https://github.com/Dudemanguy/gtk/pull/1 and continue the work in a gtk PR on gitlab.

You can jump in and implement it. The last few comments are basically "here's a patch that works", "ok, open a PR then" (and no follow up)
I wouldn’t call that perfect because if your private key is ever compromised, all of your communication ever is compromised. Ideally data would be destroyed after a while, which isn’t really possible to do if everyone ever has the data. Broadcasting all messages everywhere would also be an incredible waste of resources, even if it was theoretically possible.
Maybe a good basis for differentiating “drugs” vs “medicine”?
If I had to bet, most people who talk about Gab, never had a Gab account, and got his info from your average political commentator threads in Twitter and your average media pieces.

Right-wing people has the right to exist, and should have a place to discuss their stuff. If you want to close every platform they have because you find they host people with extremist views, then close all the social media all together.

If anyone here presumes that the conditions that allowed Donald Trump in office will disappear because you can deplatform such people, then good luck.
