>>Is it really the modern equivalent?

yes, lets look at it from a legal stand point.

Utilities like the phone company are granted special privileges under the law, in exchange for society granting them those special privileges they must service all persons in their service area provided they pay the bill (and in some cases even if they do not)

Now lets look at social media and other platform, we as a society have granted them special provisions under the law, the most well known today is Section 230 but there are others. I do not believe it is unreasonable then to demand these platform be require to allow all persons to speak provided their speech is legal speech.

This is standard would be massively more open than the current moderation standards of the platforms today

Now each one of the platforms are free to fore go those special legal provisions, and be treated as publishers, like say a NYTimes, or a DailyWire publication. Under those rules then they have full and complete editorial control over everything on their site but they also assume more legal liability.

What the platforms today want is a little bit of A, and a little bit of B, I think that is not what we as a society should allow

They need to choose, are they platforms or publishers
The government already puts stuff out on websites, right? People just don't go there, the audience is on FB, Twitter, etc.

But my guess is Trump will be the first guy to set up his own network, looks like he needs it, plus he has enough of a following that people will install an app just to hear his content.
AFAIK a reboot would trigger a reset from mic off to mic on. If true that is a very poor choice for a privacy switch.
Do you think presenting the conclusion up-front could detract from the “story-telling” of the piece? By walking the reader through the investigation and its findings in chronological order, perhaps the article aims to make the reader feel like they are performing the investigation themselves?

Don't confuse home ownership with wealth.

In Australia, laws are very biased to the landlord (despite the opinions of Australian landlords). It's an absolute pain in the arse to rent there.

In Germany, laws are very biased to the tenant. Renting is a totally viable option, people can and do rent their entire lives.

I've lived in both, and seen people trapped in shitty mortgages in Australia because they didn't want to rent, spending half their lives commuting to work. And people paying tiny rents in Berlin because they started the rental contract 10 years ago and the landlord can't raise the rent.

Getting banned over harassment in a DM is not the same as getting banned over expressing your opinion in a DM.

Not as true as you might think. I’m from the UK originally, live in Berlin now, and while I can do a lot with English, there are doors closed to me by not being C1/C2-level German.

(I have of course been doing online language courses for ages, but as the locals say: Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache.)
Containment sites are not necessary. Instead of containing people, you can ban them. It works better than containment.
Autoimmunity is so scary. It sucks that pathogens evolve to hide by exploiting the body's friendly fire avoidance.

Btw. the molecular mimicry of the spike protein may cause autoimmunity as well. Time will tell if that only applies to SARS2 or the vaccine as well.

No source: There was a paper on a model for cross reacting to normal cell proteins in /r/COVID19, but I am on mobile and blocked reddit everywhere now. Should be easy to find.

Those are all inputs, which are nice, but the outputs which we care about, are negligible.

Where are the exceptional companies employing a lot of people, doing 'important' or 'impactfull' things? Or the exits? Or even externalized value creation?

Edit: I will give an interesting answer to my own equation and that is Element AI. A ridiculous concept from a startup perspective, but very rational regional investment argument: round up the AI talent and give them something to do. In the end, they couldn't make money - but - they didn't lose money and they may have secured at least a foundational location for AI researchers to be employed in montreal, which is not nothing. It remains to be seen if it can be expanded, and if all those AI researchers will just end up moving to the US for more money.

It's a little bit like the 'Boston Dynamics' of Montreal - clearly something going on, but difficult to commercialize so it needs a massive company to see the strategic benefit. I feel the staff of Boston Dynamics will stay put though - they're not moving to Korea (i.e. new Hyundai owners) .

> Would Twitter by OK to ban people complaining about stolen elections in some Latin American country

This seems to suggest that because we can't always tell facts from lies, we must never act on information as being factual. That to me just seems wrong.

> Would Twitter by OK to ban people complaining about stolen elections in some Latin American country (where we can all agree that they might very well be stolen)?

They indeed were (e.g. Maduro in Venezuela is a recent one). I hope Twitter doesn't ignore such situations. There will always be a need for biased and subjective action.

> There has been no shortage of actual stolen elections and/or election fraud worldwide (and one would presume, in the US historically).

One should be really careful when talking about election fraud, to not confuse widespread systematic outcome-changing fraud (which is extremely rare) from instances of fraud (which is almost universal in any election but usually doesn't matter).

I think the argument in such cases is that making a custom cake celebrating something is (in part) an artistic creation, a kind of speech, and (you can argue) should not be compelled.

Whereas a grocery store refusing to sell things off the shelf to some group of people would be a very different matter.

(To be clear, I'm not taking any position on the particular cake case linked. There are many & details differ.)

Or rather that they have a hierarchy of morality in which privacy is significantly higher than any other major tech company, and yet are willing to sacrifice it to fit local laws if the market is large enough.

Unless you have proof they are actively exposing your Siri data behind the scenes in the west, your point is simply fear mongering.

They have invested and spent beyond-significant resources in a wide array of world best privacy technology - all the way down to the chip level; and all the way up to their entire structure of the way they do machine learning, including many novel papers and a lot of work into maturing the field of distributed, differential, private ML. It’s well beyond simple marketing. They also are actively making huge and risky moves that upset large competitors and partners, ongoing, re:privacy. If they were just paying lip service to this, they’d need not to do even a tenth of what they’ve done. To try and claim they aren’t is ridiculous, especially when literally no one else even remotely comes close.

In fact, there exist no platforms you can use today that would come near the level of highly scrutinized, tested and invested in top to bottom security in privacy tech than Apple devices. It’s not even a contest, and that includes all open firmware/stacks.

Regions probably vary.
Gamma can occasionally be constant for a single contract. It doesn't work out that way mathematically, but in practice it is the result of IV being spot dependent (spot up vol down, spot down vol up are two common phenomena) or reset lower due to a passing catalyst. This tends to be rare and localized, but it's important to think about charm vs speed if you trade weeklies around earnings because your true gamma will affect your decisions about how many shares to use to hedge delta. Let's look at an example. Say that you're long an OTM call into earnings, around 40d. The earnings reaction is muted compared to expectations, amounting to a small gain. You're now closer to your strike but still OTM, and IV has reset lower due to the catalyst having passed. In this case it's entirely possible that the speed of your gamma was counteracted by the charm of the passing catalyst (event theta), leaving you with delta that corresponds to what your first-order gamma would have indicated. Aka constant gamma for that particular contract in that specific event.

So am I. But the antidote to fake news from those in power is not even more fake news from random cultists and foreign intelligence services.

Facebook is one of these companies that are so disconnected with their user base they cannot even comprehend why people are upset.

In large parts of the USA, cities are cut into small parts by wide 50-mile per hour streets, it’s illegal (and dangerous to try, if not made impossible by barriers in the middle of the street) to cross streets between road crossings, road crossings are a quarter of a mile or so apart, and there aren’t any cycling facilities. Those wide roads often don’t have sidewalks.

Also, as to ease of parking: the USA loves parking space, for cars (https://www.mba.org/documents/18806_research_riha_parking_re...) That makes cities larger, further discouraging cycling and walking.

There's exactly a call to violence, because that's all you left for the person you're censoring.

Can you evidence that? I've seen absolutely no evidence of the CCP being dynamic or creative. Chinese history forked the day Taiwan became independent, and Taiwan has been well ahead of China in basically every way for my entire life. The CCP seems to hold China back quite drastically. It gets praised as having brought about some sort of Chinese economic miracle in certain western circles, but the evidence from Taiwan, South Korea etc shows that they'd probably have joined the first world in the 70s already if not for the CCP.

Sometimes on fora I encounter pretty hostile attitudes towards bikes/bikers in the US, things like: They claim the road! They are dangerous! They claim the pavement! And I'm looking at the movies and pictures thinking, but where else can they be?

In the Netherlands everybody is a biker at least some of the time and a driver at other times. A hostile attitude towards a biker is just simply very weird to see and read about. It's like people being hostile to someone for breathing your air or something.

Actually what I'm saying is that if the voters want either censorship or after-the-speech rules, then establishing that as part of the political process is much better than establishing it by having the same voters (in their capacity as Facebook's customers and audience) push Facebook to do the job. That it could be evaded is IMO irrelevant if it usually isn't. If people largely follow the law and use the legal process, then the law works.

Which you can see in Germany — people use the legal machinery to regulate speech on Facebook. Publish a swastika on Facebook and people will complain about you to the police (perhaps via Facebook), and the prosecutor will apply the law of the land. That you could evade it is true, that most people trust the law is significant.

I completely agree with you on this point, however the alternative should not be 'everyone is at the mercy of the management of private companies'.
