A saying from a nation with collective psychological trauma of over 100 years. No thanks.

That's an idiotic saying. The person's comment above you is also idiotic.

When Twitter is banning feminist women for saying something as so patently obvious as, "Men are not women." [1] then don't be surprised when people choose to make accounts at any available social media service because 1) people aren't creating blogs that get 100 million visitors anymore (if such blogs ever existed) and 2) no one has any idea which social media platform will become the next 3 billion user juggernaut and which one will be converted into a shitty music-focused platform.

[1]: Meghan Murphy, banned in 2018 for "hateful conduct" following a heated exchange which involved misgendering a transgender woman. The fact that someone could be banned for fucking misgendering someone indicates just how pathetic our society has become. These services have a block button, and apparently no one knows how to use it.
It's not unreasonable for a person instigating something through negative posts to receive negative reactions in return. That seems self evident.
> You're purposefully being reductionist about this.

I'm really not, and I'd prefer if you started off responding to me by not (mis)characterising my intentions. I'm 100% sincere in my support of free speech and stand 100% behind my comment.

> People having their brains hit with racist or violent rhetoric over a long period of time will be changed by that

Yes, they will, which is why it's good to allow every voice and every kind of viewpoint a chance to be expressed and hence challenged. Unless you think that echo chambers are a good thing?

> people have been moved to violence and facism in human history, that's not difficult to find

Did they occur in places with high amounts of censorship or free speech? The Holocaust wasn't caused simply by one of Hitler's speeches, for example, it was also (among other things) primed by the rampant anti-semitic prejudice that came from the pulpit every Sunday for hundreds of years - which was unchallengable due to blasphemy laws.

Another "win" for the repression of speech someone in power doesn't like, eh?

Just yesterday I have been wondering what it would take to run inside iOS userspace the API (and vm) environment AOSP is providing to apps. Isn't Microsoft working on something similar for Windows as a host? Clearly it would be the biggest violation of the "no language interpreters in iOS!" rule ever, but given the incredible decline of non-phablet Android the i12 mini is just so very attractive... and I'd rather bet on a userspace API container on top of the vendor OS than replicate the customary experienced of Android custom ROMs on devices with even less hardware support/documentation than usual.
Sure - there are repairs where the costs are higher than replacement. There are repairs where the costs are lower than replacement. The latter should be a low-hanging fruit for regulation to assist with. And we have a model how this could be done - car repair. Because of historical factors, there are regulations that mandate car manufacturers to provide diagnostic tools and replacement parts to independent mechanics and though car manufacturers gripe about it, the system works well. And yes, in some cases, your mechanic will tell you that a particular repair isn't worth it because the car isn't worth it.

Independent mechanic shops are also a sizable market (around 150k+ businesses in US alone) providing good paying blue-collar jobs for hundreds of thousands of people .. and this competition also lowers repair costs for consumers.

No reason why it couldn't be the case for electronics.

I'd be happier with something like:

"parler is just not worth the aggravation" - they are likely to be a minuscule revenue source that requires constant monitoring to make sure we not facing any liability, as well as potentially pissing off our existing clients. Therefore, its in our best interests just not to bother with them.

Anyone that thinks corporations care one way or another about anything except their bottom lines, has a much higher view of corporations then I do.

I mean when MC & Visa decided pornhub was a potential liability, they cut them off. When companies decide Trump or Parler are a liability - they do the same - they cut them off. That's just capitalism. No master except the almighty dollar.

but if they were at least honest about it, maybe we could stop re-hashing this everyday...
I beg to differ. This stuff is called reverse engineering and it's all but trivial.
Please remind me when Nicolas Maduro led an armed mob into the US Capitol.

We judge threats not only on their intent, but on their success in executing that intent. On that measure, Parler is much more dangerous than Maduro, Putin, or the Ayatollah.

Parler had the option to police their users but put an unqualified volunteer moderation team in charge. As you can imagine this leads to suboptimal results where the most egregious content isn't removed.

Right, but the article says that Haskell pushes these side effects to the edge. I am not saying haskell claims this, I'm saying the article claims this. Haskell actually doesn't do this in practice as tons of people use do notation and state monads. The more people use do notation, the more they are embracing side effects. Literally I've seen haskell code where all function definitions had some form of do notation which is basically against the claim made by this article.

To push side effects to the edge you have to only use do notation and monads when you absolutely have no choice, which is not done in practice with haskell.

>The presence of monads does not necessarily mean side effects

The presence of a functor does not mean side effects. The presence of a monad implies composition and binding which does imply a side effect. Even maybe monads composed have side effects that can produce output that the function itself can never produce on it's own.

For example let's say I have a maybe monad that will never produce "Nothing."

b :: int -> Maybe Int
b x = Just x

but I can produce a side effect by binding it with Nothing.

Nothing >>= b

The above yields "Nothing," even though it is not part of the definition of b. It is a contextual side effect passed on through monadic composition. Normal composition outside of monadic composition usually does not have this property.
I did the exact opposite as you. I was a commuter biker before Covid and then once that stopped, I got Strava and took my bike all over the five boroughs. I was biking 100 miles a week until December when it got a little too cold for me. I added a gravel bike to my collection and took that out of the city on weekends. 2020 was the year of the bike!

My reading of the situation is that Twitter etc. we're fine turning a (not very) blind eye until President Trump did something that is arguably illegal. At that point self-interest kicked in as they realized "oh crap since he did this with the help of our platform and we've been letting him violate our own rules we may have legal liability OMG ban!"

Heck, AWS hosts the National Enquirer, the publication that tried to blackmail AWS's owner with genital pics. It's difficult to claim anti-conservative bias when so much borderline and over the line extreme right content is allowed to remain.

If there's an appearance of conservative bias then I believe it is because between President Trump peddling conspiracy theories and general hatred of those who oppose him, it simply caused more extremist content to be posted, and therefore more to be banned. It's not bias is there really is a lot more extreme right content.

> And you've made no claims about Instagram enforcing only one political viewpoint.

I think I've made pretty explicit claims about political moderation by Instagram. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of racism/sexism/etc. so I find it hard to mind, but as I've shown, they also moderate contested political claims, like stuff about Biden's crime bill, Hunter Biden, etc.

Those are political issues, and I've provided evidence of them enforcing that viewpoint. The original comment provided no actual evidence of Parler enforcing a single viewpoint, but we all know what Parler is so it doesn't take (me at least) much convincing.

I've explained both why my comparisons are not logically flawed (no evidence that Parler pays for a "certain political agenda") and have stronger epistemic backing than the claims being made about Parler.
I didn't know Parler before. I'm not American, and I'm definitely not a right-wing supporter. But that's not the same as Youtube/Facebook/Spotify tries to do? Good for ads and supporting their political agenda?

I volunteered at the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh while this was happening. Most of them were aware of this and attempted to stay ahead of the raids by monitoring some of the groups.

Their stories are horrific and to this day I have bad dreams about what I saw / heard in those camps.

One of my coworkers escaped through the jungle to Thailand where I now live. He lost his brother and father to a group with machetes.

His story is incredibly depressing and makes me extremely grateful every day for what I have. We have spoken several times about the role of Facebook in what happened, and he has said repeatedly that nothing has changed and that it will happen again.
This is to be commended, though I wish the market itself would provide this value as an emergent feature as it does in some other areas (e. g. Leica cameras and lenses, hundreds of thousands of which are still being used after _decades_ - I'm not sure if it's true, but read somewhere that the used market for Leicas is several multiples of Leicas revenue on new stuff)
It seems like you can see it all now, rather than having to cherry pick.

I did this for years, but in the form of backpacking/hiking/cycling and still do it on occasion (when my family lets me).

Meaning much bigger constraints in weight.
10 years ago, it was really expensive getting the equipment, I used a solar gorilla/power gorilla pack. Very nice, but also heavy. I think around 500€.

Today I use 2 Anker 21 solar W and 3 power banks for half the price and at least triple the power.
(downside is only USB charge, meaning not possible for many laptops, unlike the power gorilla)

Also laptops really improved in battery life and power efficency, meaning, when I started doing it 10 years ago, I could only really work consistently, when I had a real power source nearby. Otherwise it was maybe 2 days of full-time working.

Today I can work forever off the grid, on my cheap rugged Asus Chromebook, as long as the sun shines from time to time and I have a safe place to put up the solar panels.
All in all my mobile office equipment is 4-5 kg.
For short trips with laptop, 1 panel and 1 powerbanks, cables,.. 2.5 kg. Which is managable, even when you carry also your tent and food.

Combining working in nature really helps my creativity and I can recommend trying this out.
The tech really is ready today, unless you want to do heavy video editing or 3D Design.

But coding, in my case mainly with chrome dev tools and node, really works fine off grid. There are new insights to be gained, from top of a mountain, tree, or next to a river, compared to your never changing office wall.
I think there's a difference between physically showing up at the Capitol during that event and being present for the whole thing (even if not entering the Capitol) versus just having an account on a site where some planning for the event took place. It seems to me that it would've been quite possible for a casual user of Parler -- or someone like the above poster who signed up as an observer -- to not even be aware of said planning. For instance, I'm pretty sure I have some family members who created Parler accounts in the past, and yet they called me up asking me what was going on at the Capitol and why, suggesting they were just as surprised/shocked as everyone else.

I think folks here are underestimating how many people just viewed Parler as a right-leaning Twitter and didn't realize how far some corners of it had went or were going.

I'm not convinced we need a decentralized model. You provide very specific points as to why and I agree with each.

We need a provider that is willing to host content that abides by the laws of the host country. The provider needs to take a stance such that they are willing to host unsavory content assuming it is legal. The 1st Amendment IS important and we need businesses that are willing to say as such.
This is only a utilitarian ethical argument. If people approach from a deontological perspective, the measurements may not matter.

Suggesting a policy prescription in the title of a scientific study puts the legitimacy of the study in complete question. The researchers must approach the question as one which can be falsifiable, else it's not science.
I think they restrict the 2FA methods since they want tighter control over them. For example, if you use their Steam app for 2FA and you need to move it to a new phone your account gets put into a restricted mode and you cannot use the Community Market for 15 days. This restriction also gets applied to any item you touch, so if you trade an item to someone else, the store restriction moves with the item.

They also strong-arm you into using the app. If you log into a new device (or Steam thinks it's a new device since you cleared cookies) and you don't use their app for 2FA, then the device will not be able to trade or use the market for 7 days. They only waive this restriction if you use their app for 2FA and it has been active for at least 7 days.

It's a bit frustrating since the Community Market/Trading is likely only used by a minority of users, but seemingly a ton of login limitations are imposed because of it.

This is actually a widespread and common business situation. I used to work for a company that made a specialized component, and a customer called us up one day and said: "We have to knock 1 cent off the cost of your component, or WalMart will drop our brand from all of their stores." More broadly, a lot of businesses are at the mercy of a single big customer or supplier. Texas Instruments could discontinue the chip that I use in my product, sending my side business into a tailspin. I had to buy a lifetime supply of another part when it was slated for obsolescence.
