Have you tried asking pe— sorry, “market research”? If you can make something that people want to pay for, that goes down a lot better than trying to make them buy what you're selling via an elaborate multi-agent optimisation algorithm.
Probably not a good idea since the caller won't know what the return type is at that point, and the return type would become dependent on the implementation, which breaks function abstraction.

And imagine what would happen when you get a few more 'auto' variables in the return expression. Suddenly your return type will depend on the implementation of your callees. And the code can then quickly become impossible to understand.

auto is overused.
AWS said:

It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.

They didn't say "98 people posted bad things so you suck", they said that Parler was lacking a system to prevent those kinds of posts and provided 98 examples.

I didn't say anything about removing moderation. In fact I talked about reporting the offending posts and making sure the website owner took action within a timely fashion, action which includes reporting the details to the authorities.

Why do you think that Parler should be able to moderate their users, ban them or report them to authorities, but AWS should not be allowed to do the same with their own customers?

This thread is about the ethics of what they did and this is clear

That's the funny thing about ethics -- everyone has their own set of ethics. I think that if a site abuses the ToS of a provider and allows their platform to be used to plan an insurrection, then that provider ought to be able to terminate services.

Parler was one of the few sites that required a photo ID verification to make posts, precisely for that kind of reason

You don't need to give ID to post on Parler. Becoming verified gives you some additional access/visiblity (for example, users can block posts from unverified users), but verification is not neccessary to post.
The fact that you’re blind to the hypocrisy in this post makes you look like a brainwashed shill.
This is not true, Parler was actively trying to be right wing and saying they're just about free speech. Their moderation says otherwise.
Gab is abandonware. It hasn't been updated since September of 2020, IIRC. I'd be careful with that app.
Bizarre. There are no other words for it.
Here are the AWS Service Terms (https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/) and the AWS Acceptable Use Policy (https://aws.amazon.com/aup/). You are responsible for understanding and following these as well as the appropriate laws (which probably require the assistance of a lawyer, which I am not, and which is probably a good idea in any case).

If a service provider refuses you service and you believe it violates the terms of service that you agreed to (that's going to be a hard row to hoe), you should have legal recourse. (Still not a lawyer, though.)

Technically, the safest approach would be to build your own geographically-distributed server facilities and get your own Autonomous System Number. Remember to take care---the legal responsibilities in individual countries differ.
Hmm, I confused xterm with urxvt.

Now consider the scenario where all the large agriculture firms and distributors cut off the Bay Area. Sure, the Bay Area could start their own farms to meet that need, but I could hardly imagine the whole population living there saying "This is fine, they're well within their rights."

This feels to me like a situation of "fine for anyone to do, problematic for everyone to do". With political ideology not a protected class in many states, anyone is free to refuse service to an outspoken Democratic voter, but if a whole town did that it would be unthinkable. The specious answer of "just make your own business" wouldn't be practical in that scenario (are you going to start your own grocery, gas station, etc?).

To be clear, I'm not trying to make a defense of Parler; my understanding having never signed up is that it was an unmoderated cesspool.I am, however, trying to point out that the end result of individuals making totally reasonable and rational decisions within their rights can produce outcomes that most people would view as wrong.
Just emotions that sacrosanct capitol was breached by fascist Trump's supporters.

That begs the question which platforms were used for organizing BLM riots for months and why there aren't any consequences?

Companies claiming to uphold democracy are the worst offenders if it makes business or idealogical sense yet HN crowd is cheering. Look at how they are willing to suck upto China, Iran, and even Taliban.

Disclaimer: Trump is a unreliable character so I don't like him personally a lot. But cheering up one-sided suppression without looking at the full picture is distasteful.
They make it very easy on the federal level with PACER and in the majority of states with an equivalent.
Perhaps but that should be an unstable equilibrium, i.e. temporary.

As long as real competition exist, if it is possible to deliver what consumers really want then sooner or later someone will discover it, make a killing and prompt everyone in the market to follow suit or die.

It's easy to blame corporations but in fine I believe that the current situation has been driven by the choices of the consumers, i.e. all of us.

Sure we want better quality, repairability, longevity, but we also want cheaper, among other things. I think product ranges simply reflect where our priorities really lie.
You can be aggrieved, blame the west, assign whatever morality you want, it doesn't change the fact that the planet doesn't have enough resources for everyone to live a middle class lifestyle.
Maybe your analysis make sense. But I often look opposite analysis to defeat the algorithm of social media. Personally I think it's partially responsible for there are 2 different realities that lead to the Jan 6 Capitol event.

Here's a piece that draws quite different picture from yours.

https://worldaffairs.blog/2020/12/31/from-terrified-to-trium...
The author (OP) proposes community generated and shared block lists.

I’m imagining an opt in block list, where with enough downvotes, if you are a member of the block list, the content is hidden.

If the block list starts blocking content you want, you can fork it, keep the parts you want, remove the parts you don’t.
It's an early boot problem. If they tried to use the kernel facilities it would block, making boot take much longer. Fixed in recent kernel versions.

I know it's in vogue to rip on systemd, but let's at least try to be fair.
At first I very much agreed with you, all these posts have < 10 'likes', so it seems pretty unfair, as I'm sure you could find the same content on Twitter or Facebook.

However reading the exact complaint made me change my mind; they specifically provided them with content which they found to be inciting violence, and Parler took no action on them. If they actually wanted to remove them, at the bare minimum they could have at least removed the ones directly sent to them from their hosting provider. They also have no plan to moderate content themselves. Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc all have report buttons which then trigger an employee to review the reported content, and Parler needed to at least say they had plans to do the same.
At its core it’s a decent game. The issue is with so many bugs (many of which preventing a player from finishing a story quest) it’s hard to focus on the game when your copy keeps crashing, glitching, frustrating you.
Everyone nowadays is one-sided it seems. Its very sad..
Tell HN: Cloudflare continues to protect Trump websites, Gab, and TheDonald.win
The big problem is that if you draw a line, everyone is going to toe it and try to push past it. Trump has shown that he is willing to push the boundaries of what is acceptable his entire presidency.

That’s the “slippery slope” argument. If you define what’s allowed, people will ask for more, and others will push past it saying it’s not much different than previous.

And besides that, the line has been drawn many times by the Supreme Court. Hate speech is allowed by the First Amendment, but inciting violence may not be. There’s “tests” for these sorts of issues that lower courts are supposed to apply.

Yeah, I like it. I've seen some bugs, like NPCs walking 10 feet above ground, or vehicles clipping into each other. Nothing seriously immersion-breaking though, and definitely nothing game-breaking.
>If they were removing the illegal content, then why did AWS say they don't have an effective process to remove it?

Because you get a Sympathy-Star-Sticker in your book and Amazon is the good guy who try's to safe the United States, it's more Marketing then real fear being extreme right wing.

>Did Jack Ma think he was going to tell the CCP how it is?

The thing is that [even allowing for the fact that any news coming out of China that we get in the west is heavily spun to make China look bad] what Jack Ma is alleged to have said seems very mild to me, to be provoking such a massive response. Apparently he said "Chinese banks operate with a pawnshop mentality"[0] --hardly calling for the overthrow of the state, is it?

It all seems so over the top that I'm almost convinced that the US has infiltrated the higher echelons of the CCP and is working hard to make China shoot itself in the foot economically. Is that any crazier a notion than the pretty widely held belief that Donald Trump's election was a Russian plot to undermine the US on the world stage?

Because, the only results of this over-the-top crackdown by China are likely to be that:

* More Chinese entrepreneurs are going to 'get the hell out of Dodge' as soon as they can, rather than risk the same fate. By emigrating from China and setting up elsewhere.

* Western businesses are going to be extremely reluctant to enter into any partnerships / large contracts / investments with Chinese companies, for fear of the rug being pulled from under them.

* AliBaba & Ant will stagnate under government management

It just doesn't make sense to me:

* Lots of reports recently predicting China will become the world's no.1 economy before the end of this decade.

* China's economy first out of the starting blocks on the road to recovery, after the Coronavirus pandemic

* Chinese companies outdoing technologically & commercially their US counterparts [so much so that it led to Trump's spurious sanctions against HuaWei et al].

All of this should have led to the CCP becoming more pro-capitalist in outlook and more supportive of Chinese entrepreneurship from people like Jack Ma. Why suddenly shoot yourself in the foot, when you're finally 'winning'? I just find it really hard to believe that the leadership of the CCP which, if nothing else, has demonstrated itself to be extremely pragmatic over recent decades, is so thin skinned as to risk massive and ongoing damage to their economy over such an innocuous remark.

As I say, in my tinfoil-hatted opinion either the CCP has been infiltrated by the US who are attempting to destroy the Chinese economy from within, or there's a lot more to what Jack Ma has actually done than we're being told.

I've never quite understood why I would want to use Brave as its just another chromium browser with some ideas about advertising. I found your post interesting.

The paper you linked to is limited in scope to the browser itself calling home with unique identifiers. The paper says nothing about what happens when the browser visits say Facebook.

In terms of the browser calling home and uniquely tracking you all by itself, the paper says Brave does a good job. But Brave still calls home for things and Brave can still collect IP addresses and browser fingerprints the same as any other site.
the damning thing for Parler though is that they didn't remove those posts - which I remind you are illegal because they unambiguously incite violence - after AWS reported them. there is no excuse for Parler not to have removed those posts. they chose to ride or die with their jury moderation system, and died.

this isn't a 1A issue. incitement to violence is not protected by 1A - that's been settled by the Supreme Court. that's why I have no sympathy for Parler's plight. also note that they're not protected by section 230 - these posts are a criminal offense, akin to not removing child porn.

This doesn't make sense. I have sold every single iPhone that I have owned (about 6), and virtually all were 100% functional at time of sale. Making the products openable will likely to make them heavier, more expensive, larger, and more prone to damage (i.e., water damage), and thus less durable overall. I don't want this as a consumer as it will lead to more waste.

Sure. I'd be all for a more generic waste tax. Include the cost of packaging and as you suggest, the carbon cost of shipping it too.

True, they're in trouble demographically. Projections I have read in the past (before one-child was repealed) suggested they would lose 400m people by end of 21st Century. 400m!

Meanwhile, the West has its own implosion well underway... but, unlike China we have immigration. The U.S. population is still growing thanks to immigration, as is Europe's, even though both regions have replacement-level or below-replacement birthrates by natives. Immigrants tend to have higher birthrates however.
> Although parlor was only used for hate,

There's your difference. Facebook is a network for a couple of billion people to communicate over which incidentally serves to amplify some of their hate. Parler is a niche network to provide a safe space for stuff too extreme for the likes of Facebook.

(and no, Parler shouldn't be forcibly 'shut down' either, but it's unsurprising businesses don't want to transact with it)
If they don't use it, the kernel does in order to initialize the entropy pool, which will also result in broken boots. To work around historically flaky kernel implementations, systemd calls RDRAND directly if it detects it needs to with a heuristic. This is why the fix for the current issue is to set both 'nordrand' and 'SYSTEMD_RDRAND=0'.

"The owner of Times Square relies upon the big advertising signs for their income."

Times Square is just the first public place that I thought of. Not every public place is used for advertising. What if it was the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The point is that, generally, necessary permits notwithstanding, people can enter always public places and communicate with the public. That is why they are deemed public places not private ones.

I am not even sure what advertising has to do with this. Maybe I missed something in the story. I was under the impression it was a YouTube "channel" getting banned not some customer's ability to purchase ads from Google to be shown on YouTube.

Given this is broken over and over again in successives AMD chips, this is actually a little bit likely to be a backdoor. People will e.g. generate keys with broken rdrand, and AMD will later fix it with plausible deniability, just saying "oops, sorry, it was just our silly usual mistake, and we don't even promise we won't do it again, lol!". In the meantime the NSA will enjoy the resulting compromises. And well, even if it was just the same silly mistake made over and over again, the NSA is likely to still enjoy the results?

So it does not really matter if it was intentional or not: regardless of the root cause of this bug, it should now be considered that rdrand should never be trusted (unless you truly don't care that your systems risk to randomly break or you risk to randomly generate compromised keys) and its mere usage (except maybe indirectly in mitigated ways designed by experts and audited for years) considered a very likely security vulnerability.

Am I unusual? When there is hate speech directed at me, I don't really care if I see it or not.

But I do want to prevent other people from seeing that hate speech (I don't want the hate to grow).

The mob nearly succeeded in capturing, kidnapping, or killing democratically-elected members of Congress. Or, as they were chanting, in hanging the vice president. I see no reason not to take them seriously.

The leadership in Iran, in contrast, has not gotten any closer to its goal of destroying Israel since the Revolution.
I find it hard to understand why that should not be allowed to be said. I know it's in extremely bad taste, but still...

>Who gets to define "hate"?

I really dislike this argument. A lot of democratic countries have defined hate speech. In the US, individual companies define it and moderate it as they see fit. In other countries, their legislators and courts define it. The US has defined lots of difficult terms to define already.

>And why ban speech that is actually legal (even if highly offensive) anyway?

I mean if we're talking about why companies should ban it, I'm sure they have a variety of reasons that range from bad PR and loss of revenue, to the founders/owners/employees don't want to build a product that's used for violence.

If we're talking about at the society level, because it threatens democracy, peace, individuals safety

>And if it's worthy of banning on a major platform, why not just make it explicitly illegal?

A lot of democratic countries already have. UK, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland (and yes, they managed to define it somehow): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_by_country

Sorry, but this is bullshit pedaled by people who've never given an ounce of thought to the economics of car buying.

C4C effected 700k cars from the 90s, all of which were worth less than $3,000. There were, at the time, roughly 250 million registered vehicles on the road. There's absolutely no chance that this had any effect what-so-ever on the market for used cars. 700k is literally a rounding error when compared to 250 million.

What hurt the used car market was the fact that new car sales fell from roughly 15 million a year in 2008, to 9 million a year a year in 2009. It took until 2015 before cars sales reached that of 2008.

All told 40 million fewer cars were produced between 2009 and 2015 compared with how many would have been produced if not for the GFC.

Those 40 million cars that were never produced are what caused used car prices to spike. Not the 700k Ford Windstars and Explorers lost to C4C. Anyone who tells you different is a fool.
