Regarding medium, I think the biggest barrier is the network/promotion you get from medium. Discovery and sharing within the network brings audiences you'd otherwise have to work quite hard for on your own site.
Right. 230 is probably fine as is for a small message board or discord server. All of the objections (or at least the non-trolling ones) are about giant global services with algorithms for optimizing engagements.

RequestD - An Elasticsearch backed dashboard and interface to track and monitor websites and APIs. Great tool if you need to monitor error rates and other SLA related metrics for a web service.
I have one but I think it's almost baked: https://www.usertrack.net - Self-Hosted Analytics

What I still want to do before calling it truly "ready":

* Add a trial version

* Implement a secondary session recording system

* Improve documentation/onboarding/tutorials

* Add some integrations (data import/export, alerts, weekly digest)

Also, the landing page design is really poor, I should work on that too.
Where did he clearly incite an illegal action? As far as I can tell his speech just told his supporters to walk to the Capitol. He didn't say anything about committing illegal acts. In fact, he explicitly said people should be peaceful. Courts are not going to try and parse secret messages from a speech when there is an explicit disavowal of any criminal act.

The rule people seem to be advocating for here is that if a politician directs their supporters to protest at a particular location then they are responsible for all illegal acts their supporters carry out at that location. That seems to be unreasonable standard and it is also a standard that legally has not been applied before. In terms of politics/media I'm sure people have tried to apply this standard but it is very wrong. It seems every time some whacko commits a crime one side will accuse the other side of inciting the crime with their rhetoric. I don't think this is at all fair and I also believe it could lead to an equilibrium where people are incentivised to commit crimes. It is often quite hard to murder a politician (ask the baseball shooter) but if you can take a piece of the board by committing a crime and getting caught then that might be better option for a whacko. Obviously, this has not happened in this case but if this standard is enforced then this is something to worry about in the future.
Unofficial Google Calendar Extension with More Than 4M Users to Be Discontinued
Keep working on it. I don't need it right now, but I could definitely see something like this be interesting, the only solution I can think of right now is just searching for different things in a traditional registrar and that's been a frustrating process. Good luck! Biggest challenge is well. One coming up with good recommendations, but two getting it into my head when I need it. I don't know if traditional advertising will help with that you almost just need to be come a household name.
Of course there is a cabinet around him, and if his condition is really serious he will step down.

What strikes me, and what I want to say, is why pick someone like HIM out of all people available, and why does everyone seem to ignore his condition? Seeing him talking, it seems like himself and everyone around him try really hard not to put something cognitively challenging in his head, that will have to translate to comprehensible speech.

Do those in charge think one's name and past deeds campaign on their own, as opposed to the actual candidate showcasing himself with his present words and image? Does the need to bring Donald down give a blank canvas to the other side to put in front someone unfit?

I am semi-sure the President can be a puppet - not by definition, but can happen sometimes I guess - since Bush Jr, that creature with the obviously sub-par IQ and cognition, was elected - and again, nobody in the US seemed to actually freak out 24/7 with having such a man as the president. Just remember on the reason he cited for deciding to attack Iraq - and I am not talking about the false WMD claims, but for "God told me", which he stated in complete seriousness. So, when I saw that guy governing, I said to myself - it can't be this thing having the actual power here, he does not have the mental capacity to achieve that on his own.

Same with Biden. He obviously does not have the mental capacity to rule, and Donald going away is not enough reason to be ok with that. I don't even see a consensus of the type "Yeah he is an old senile guy, we'll just use him to take down Trump and then we see how it goes" - everyone pretends he is normal, and that's what baffles me.

It has been in its half-baked state since 2012 when I wrote it in a single night so that I could share solutions to mathematics puzzles my friends and I used to challenge each other with.

Somehow the use of this tool spread from my friends to their friends and colleagues, then schools and universities, and then to IRC channels that involve mathematical discussions.
Phrases that are overused: in regular speech that is quite normal. Also in other languages with less borrowing there are way more stock phrases that are used over and over and it's normal.

So being exposed to example French or Chinese you learn that the perception of overuse of a phrase is mostly an English language thing of the upper classes —middle and lower classes don’t observe this aversion as much.

The right wants to repeal 230 because they think it will make FB/Twitter keep up all their Q-anon insanity. The left wants to repeal 230 because they think it will punish/harm/shut down the FB/Twitter cesspool.

The reality is probably closer to regulatory capture where only the existing large platforms can afford to moderate leaving us with a heavily moderated, but stronger/permanent FB/Twitter. /shrug
If I'm understanding correctly, here, the semantic value of the <code /> element is ignored to increase DX.

I personally wouldn't make that compromise, why is pre-processing not simple enough?
Anything can be challenged in the courts. And I believe there are some (limited, mainly religious based) exceptions that are pretty recent. But there is nothing that protects the political beliefs of a person as this isn’t a protected class. Protected classes protect things people are, not what they think.

Trying to conflate 230 here is disingenuous and has no role in a strictly business decision about whether of not a business has to accept a customer.
So you're saying, if I understand correctly, that private orgs (not anyone), unconstrained from what constraints they are allowed to apply, will eventually include inconvenient speech.

Probably, but as long as the government isn't putting undue constraints on, the market solves this problem. Parler is right there if a person doesn't like Facebook.

>The only thing I disagree with you is the collusion aspect, even if they were colluding to "fix" speech, and not just towing the same line, that isn't actually illegal. Price fixing on the other hand is.

A persuasive argument can be made that coordinated efforts by tech giants to block rivals such as Parler is in fact illegal. In many ways it reminds me of the (ultimately successful) 1998 anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft which ironically allowed the rise of Google, Twitter, and Facebook who are today engaging in similar behavior. Although perhaps if the Microsoft lawsuit were brought today, Microsoft could simply argue that they were afraid of the "hate speech" that might occur on these new platforms and were therefore justified in using their massive market share to stifle all competition.

"Stop the steal" groups have imagined a coup for weeks. More than a few people stormed the Capitol. All coups need impressionables.

The insurrectionists thought most voters and at least 150 members of Congress supported them. The commander in chief egged them on. Coups have succeeded with weaker allies.

Some insurrectionists thought they could pressure enough members of Congress to block certification and send the election to the House. Some wanted Trump to declare martial law. Some openly welcome civil war.

Congress has executive functions too. Like counting electoral votes.
Best advice I can offer, is disconnect for 24 to 48 hours and find out for yourself..

This is the sort of question a young person asks, with the greatest of respect, so I recommend spending time with older generations and learn from mentors who will gladly guide and advice based on their decades of life and experience "living" an actual "live".
All actual conservatives, or all present-day Republicans? If we're talking about the latter, we disagree over whether it's a bad thing.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the existence of sites like Parler that cater to extremists (I'm using 'extremists' in a historical context here, rather than by present-day unpopularity).

What I think is harmful is the 'hey man, it's all cool!' environment, in which a ten year old can start out at PewDiePie and wind up two years later as some Qanon nut with cranial tongs and a poster of Dylan Roof in his locker.

So let a thousand Parlers bloom, as far as I'm concerned, but give mainstream sites strong enough moderation to allow rational, humane people a place to discuss issues.
> IMO when you decide to start disconnecting parts of your country because they are inconvenient, you're one step from disconnecting the disagreeable, undesirable, or just different. The disconnected form their own beliefs and eventually take actions that are destructive to the whole because they haven't been connected to the whole.

I had to read this twice to realize that you were disagreeing with me, because of how well what you said maps to the ongoing forced segregation of the political parties onto separate social media sites.

Where I would disagree with you with respect to the Post Office is the assumption that not having universal direct home delivery is actually disconnecting people. Even historically, having mail delivered to your nearest town rather than directly to your house adds a few days of latency to a form of communication that already has about a week of latency in it. You're still participating in the same network, with the same people. You receive the same information.

Which is the thing that doesn't happen if we purposely segregate people with differing political views from communicating with one another.
There are two approaches:

* The federated approach, where many Twitter like sites can interconnect and exchange messages. One current example of this is Mastodon, older examples are Status.net/Identi.ca

* An indie approach, where everyone basically hosts their own profile and there are no Twitter like sites at all, one instead uses readers that are completely separate from ones hosted profile, just like it was in the blogosphere days. One example of this is https://indieweb.org/

I favor the indie approach as the federated approach seems to in practice often end up with interoperability issues and mono-cultures, at least historically. + there’s still central providers, just a few more than in the case of Twitter, whereas in the indie world everyone is basically a provider themselves and one can eg. put up a static site and use that (through various Micropub tricks and such)

Ask HN: Buridan's ass paradox when choosing tools
I constantly struggle with having to choose between two different but also equally powerful tools, where it is hard to see a clear winner. Whilst working I just keep bouncing between using one of them for a while, then rewriting or doing some other project with the other. What makes matters worse is that I constantly have this debated in my head on which one to choose. This really feels like Buridan's ass paradox :D Just instead of being frozen in indecision, I keep re-doing stuff in some other language or framework barely progressing forward.

I know flipping a coin won't work here. The only two options that sound reasonable are:
1. Choose the "worst" one, since they are all clearly pretty equal anyways. This way you just trick your brain to stop "optimizing".
2. Choose the most "popular" -- use external referee to break my deadlock. Basically, I assume that this is a case of game with correlated equilibrium and I need an external tiebreaker.

Anybody else had any experience with this and found some tricks that work?
> we’re in a situation where even the speech of the POTUS is beholdent to corporate censors

This is not true. The POTUS has the most prominent platform in the world, he could walk out to any random street corner and anything he says will be broadcast to every corner of the planet, he is not in any way beholden to "corporate censors".

I think it's a little bit beyond "half" baked, but I built a thing I call Logsuck last year: https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck

The idea is to have a free Splunk alternative which you can set up with just one binary. I use Splunk at work and love it, but it just doesn't seem like a product for solo developers (I can't even find a pricing page on splunk.com), and the primary free alternative, the ELK stack, seems a bit complicated to set up.

I am sure that I'll never be competitive with Splunk or Elastic in terms of features or scalability but I'm trying to build something that is at least useful for my own projects.

I built it in Go and use SQLite with the FTS (https://sqlite.org/fts3.html) extension to store the log events in a way where they can be searched quickly.

I stand corrected, in particular that my formulation is unfair to the author.

However, in a formal framework of pure deduction we have no moderation of truth. Either a sentence is true or it is not (or it is non-deducible).

The sentence `some people who live in Brooklyn do speak with a Brooklyn accent` is not coercible to `People who live in Brooklyn speak with a Brooklyn accent`.

I follow his argument that a syllogistic world view is not practical in a distributed, collaborative semantic web sense. But this is kind of far away from his statement: "Syllogisms are Not Very Useful".

>US does not do either, and any attempt to add security either during registration or on voting day is attributed to racism or classism or some other bigotry

The US already has a registration system. The information just need to be current and the system designed in such a way where a registered person can only vote once (which is not what campaigners are against).

Over here, the local council sends you a letter regularly for you to update your details in the electoral register. If you don't respond then you are not registered to vote in upcoming elections.

They send you a poll card which tell you where to go vote. If you don't have your poll card you can still vote by turning up at the correct polling station. You can't vote at another station.

You have to provide your name and address and they will look you up on the electoral register. If the staff suspect you are fraudulent, they will call the police. After you are provided with a ballot, they cross you name out from the list so that it can't be reused.

There are a small number of cases of error or fraud is very low as you need a lot of information on a large scale over a large area across many polling stations to do meaningful election fraud undetected.

Nice try Amazon
I don't think anybody ever has picked up a paper because they were dying to get the details about that particular scoop - and honestly, that was one of the most memorable ones.

That was over a decade ago yet you remember it and are still talking about it. Obviously that was quite the scoop, which is exactly what newspapers love and how they make money.

A free press loves embarrassing governments by showing them doing stupid stuff. The press in Europe is a mockery of a free press because too many journalists at some point decided that the EU is a morally and ideologically pure vision of the future, so they just stopped reporting on all the bad stuff it does even when it'd make for interesting stories, whilst continuing to do such reports on their local governments. Except in the UK, where parts of the press retained their traditional role.

I think if this was true, nobody would bother printing them. It's not like they make much money.

Left wing super-pro-EU papers often don't indeed. Other papers do make money, plenty enough to justify making them. The Daily Mail made £72 million in profits in 2020 despite COVID. The Guardian bled money and announced job losses.
