> You appear to no longer be claiming that blasphemy laws were a direct contributor to the holocaust.

I'm claiming that they were a necessary condition. Am I changing my position? No. I've no idea how you came to that.

> Yes, widespread antisemitism was a contributor to the holocaust

We agree.

> but that wasn't primarily or even really particularly due to blasphemy laws

In which free speech zone did a similar situation occur? Your statement is pure speculation. At least try attribute things to conditions that are present or have something to compare with to show the contrast.

> blaming it, in any significant part, on a lack of free speech, is not something that has any mainstream historic support.

I'd like to know what these mysterious "mainstream" historians think was behind the anti-semitism that was so rife in Christian Europe for so long. Where did Nazis get the idea of blood libel from? What ever could be the reason…?

On a less sarcastic note, I hope they don't blame the Jews for their predicament, as the only other explanation would be that the hatred arose from nothing but some rousing speeches by Hitler. That to me would seem incredibly childish a notion and not in the slightest supported by the accounts of prominent Nazi party members of the time but at least it's better than victim blaming.

Of course, we could rely again on looking at the conditions present and what effects correlate - what happens when blasphemy laws are present, and what happens when freedom of conscience (free speech + freedom of religion) is present - does support for Christianity go down? Does anti-semitism rise or fall? Is this consistent across the world? Is the same true for Europe?

> for example, Germany blasphemy laws pre-WWII, as written, actually protected Judaism

On the one hand there are the hate speech laws that were in place for a few years, and on the other is the rampant anti-semitism for at least hundreds of years prior (supported by blasphemy laws), and to top it all off the hate speech laws didn't even work! On the contrary, they contributed to the rise of the National Socialists.

In both cases a lack of free speech resulted in a negative outcome. Yet, you seem to be against free speech. Maybe it's your comfort levels, and I agree, that really is a problem with free speech.

I'll take it over the alternatives though.
I realise now that it came out wrong.

I meant they would be patroling the street to protect the democracy from the insurrectionists.

What happened the other day to the US it already happened to Italy in 1922 when Mussolini took power literally marching on Rome.

There was another (failed) attempted fascist coup d'état (the Borghese coup) in 1970, that Borghese stopped few hours before the final phase (the plan included kidnapping the President, killing the chief of Police, occupying the National TV with the help of members of the CIA and NATO).

it's a very sensitive topic here.
This wasn't true in the past either. I2P would share bandwidth with other nodes, but not out to the public internet. It was always built as an anonymous network with various services hosted in it. Basically it's like a stripped down robust version of Tor that only has hidden services. HTTP proxies to the public internet are just a hidden service essentially. Unless you chose to set up one yourself it never just allowed random I2P nodes to proxy out to the public internet through your connection.
> One side went full kinetic

In 2017 a leftist gunman (2016 presidential campaign volunteer) shot up a group of federal Republican legislators, hitting one in a ten minute gun battle with Capitol police. Hitting only one wasn’t a failure of intent but of the gunman’s skills.

I’m not linking the events, but considering that a literal (not hyperbolic) deliberate mass assassination attempt was carried out on Republican congressional leaders in 2017, isn’t it a bit disingenuous to say that “one side went full kinetic”.
> Empathizing with someone and addressing their concerns is a textbook opener. It is not the same as condoning their choice of actions.

I was responding to that. That's how it relates. I proved that he condoned the actions through a comparison.

Re your edit:

How is it cherry picking because I chose quotes relevant to my post?
This is an article from a little known French website that links to an article from the International Business Times (their Wikipedia page does not fill me with the outmost confidence) that quotes an "Internet finance industry insider" who claims that this is what the Chinese government is going to do.

This is as unreliable as can be and the title is as misleading as can be.
The capitalist economy can function as long as it can find new ways to expand profits. That's the core of capitalism - somebody owns the ability to decide what is produced, they use that ownership to choose production that is profitable. If some capital-holder chooses to direct production towards something other than maximizing profit, they end up with less capital than someone who does, and thus less of a say in future decisions, so in the long run production decisions are mostly owned by profit-maximizers.

It's mostly worked for us since there's plenty of profit to be had by satisfying human needs and charging for it. But, if people run out of needs or money, then the capitalist system will find some other way to grow, whether or not that involves doing anything helpful to anyone.
>Now that Amazon, Microsoft and Google are setting up shop right here in Canada, the talent drain away from Canadian companies is only accelerating.

Maybe. Canada is bringing 400,000+ new immigrants per year until 2023 for permanent residence status, most of which are skilled workers of some kind. Probably a safe bet between that those three are setting up shop here in part because they can bring in international talent into North America more easily then with the US cracking down on it's immigration policies.

No idea on what effect it will have on salaries here though.
This is a question that would need experiments to settle. AFAIK the original research around mRNA vaccines had to navigate the gap between "not stimulating enough" and "stimulating too much" very carefully.
I believe the other kind of specific immunity mechanism is referred to as "cellular immunity". But yeah, I had the same thought you had.
That's all right then
> You can also look at the proportion of field leaders. Are more from the developed nations or the developing ones?

Lower cost of living does not imply developing nation.

Czhech Republic or Poland or Taiwan are developed nations, all with the cost of living a fraction of Bay Area.

I see Ubiquiti dev center apparently moved to Latvia. You can argue it's a depressed region of the EU but it is not a developing country by any metric.

I use the LinuxServer.io Unify controller docker container, it updates very often and everytime it asks me if I want to share data. It feels so dirty, my lan traffic is so personal and I meant to upgrade security and privacy by switching away from my ISP provided modem/wifi. I'm beginning to regret this decision and maybe should have chosen another solution.
Yes, and Wayland is a pile of shit, so what's your point? Xorg has this one problem, Wayland has countless problems.

Xorg is stable and proven for decades; Wayland has been incomplete and buggy for decades.

I don't run Wayland, PulseAudio, DBUS, or SystemDumpsterFire on my system, and don't miss any of them.

I don't run strange binary code on my system either, so keyloggers aren't really a concern.

I find it ironic that people who routinely shovel foreign binary code onto their system (even automatically downloading and installing it, no less) from untrusted and untrustworthy third parties, are so all-fired concerned about these trifling imagined Xorg security problems.

> You seem to assume that any process reasoning or thinking has to be scientific to be useful. A very dubious proposition.

No, in fact, I clearly said that they were useful but not scientific.

My problem with The Ship of Theseus, is that it prætends to be scientific, whereas it is merely a futile quibble of semantics.

> Giving your example, thinking about who is beautiful and who isn't (not "Scientific Study", just thinking) would be pointless is well, and in reality, in practical objective reality of a lot of people, isn't.

Indeed it isn't. Now imagine the existence of some thought experiment by a philosopher who tries to use deductive logic to decide what is and isn't beautiful absent any rigorous definition of beauty and thus indeed ends up stuck.

I would indeed call that a very futile exercise, so I called The Ship of Theseus.

I will be shocked if this doesn't have multiple test cases. Hosters have been choosing which kind of content they will host for decades with porn being the largest theme that is banned on many hosts. AWS pulling them from their servers is for me the least controversial of all the things that have happened.
That's correct, it's an authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange. I'm not sure why they don't show the actual public keys anywhere but I suppose it doesn't make a lot of sense for the general public and it'd only be confusing.

In fact, the cryptography is even more complicated: The Signal protocol uses a so-called double ratchet algorithm[0] which derives from the session/conversation keys a new ephemeral message key whenever possible (again using a DHKE). This has the added advantage of providing forward secrecy.

I'm not a Wayland user and do not plan to be. Instead, it is a criticism of the current abandonment of the Xorg project, which I toy with the code from time to time. I also do not use any DE and use X in the leanest way I can, and I still notice such input lag, whether it's playing games or some gui application seeming to register input at a different x,y position than it was clicked. This does not mean I'm a xorg hater, quite the opposite. Studying the codebase, it seems pretty well written and documented and it proved me the "X is unmaintainable" mantra is a lie. I can elaborate more on other issues of the async & client-server nature of X. I'm not spouting nonsense.

This comment along with your previous one give the impression that in effect any solution that is favorable for the user is not only going to "cost too much to do just for the customers" but is also bound to be less reliable. It's how every privacy invasion or abuse of position of the past decade+ has been justified: "we made the product cheaper and better for you, any change will cost a lot and break it".

Because yes, this can be used to justify close to anything that is in the interest of the company even if it's to the customer's disadvantage. Those features usually bring money to a company so removing them would be a loss. On top of that you can always attach that generic claim that any change will cause the system to implode and will also make your cat feral.

Well, some of that may be true but it doesn't mean we should use it as a justification to keep doing things like that. Products can be built with the consumer's best interest in mind at little additional cost if any. The problem is the consumer's best interest usually brings in less money.
> ... but I do prefer government oversight over monopolies ...

Harshly but speaking honestly, this attitude is why Google is in America and not in the EU. Google is better at ranking search results than any parliament or regulator on the planet.

They are in America because the US government knows to leave them to it.

> Out of curiosity, who do you regularly watch that has been pushed off the platform?

No-one formally banned yet, but people like Chris Martenson, Joe Rogan, a couple of libertarian types. The usual suspects. I don't like their odds of being on YouTube in 5 years. They 'spread disinformation'.

If I'm wrong then I'll stick with YouTube. I don't mind what they decide to do, even if I have opinions on whether it is good or bad.

You guys realize you're simply arguing about preferred definitions of the word, right?

I refuse to believe they've got banned because of the lack of user management features. In fact, the existence of very crazy people on the platform shouldn't be a platform problem, you can always let know authorities about any danger, report and ban users. If we apply the same rules for everyone, Amazon and Apple should be banning Twitter too, because you can see dozens of messages everyday of people death threatening others, in fact, you can still read old messages of politics inciting rioting, reporters doxxing other reporters, etc. and nothing happened since.
I've never used Parler but credible articles I've seen claimed that you could create an account and read/follow without uploading your ID, but you had to provide ID in order to be "verified" and allowed to post/share photos and video (and maybe text? Not sure on that).
There was speculation Starlink could be used for HFT once it gets laser links, but this would even beat that since you don't need to travel up and down an extra 500 miles, plus any buffering in the satellites. Starlink would have more bandwidth, but you probably don't need much for HFT.
Also worth mentioning that while we don't have an exact "cure" for HIV, we do now have treatments that (if you or your country can and will pay for it) can make having HIV into something that not only doesn't ruin your live, but that even can't be spread from you to people you have sex with.

>But when the limited collection of players in the system all act in concert to prevent access to opponents of their preferred political party, isn’t the effect nearly the same? Arguably worse, because there’s no legal recourse. I think that’s the point being made here.

What evidence can you provide to support your claim that various corporations are colluding to block folks?

What evidence can you provide that said corporations have a "preferred political party?"

You have no such evidence. What's more, whether or not the nebulous set of entities to which you refer (let's have specific names and specific actions).

I'd further say that "cloud" (read: someone else's servers) services, a few large social networking sites and a small subset of payment processors (I'm guessing that this is the set of corporations to which you were referring since you don't bother to be specific) do not constitute an "oligopoly."

I'd further add that there are hundreds of hosting and co-location providers, dozens of payment processors and a variety of mechanisms to share data, information and messaging.

I find your diatribe to be sorely lacking in evidence, reasoned argument and factual information.

Finally, your analogy concerning airlines is deeply flawed, as that isn't even close to what's going on.

Please provide some evidence for your claims.

Otherwise, I can only conclude that you are arguing in bad faith.

Could you clarify? Of the companies that you could be talking about...

- Planet Computers are a very different company

- Mediatek don't seem to be mentioned at all in the project you've linked

- IndieGogo (and others, like Kickstarter) are simply platforms (like Facebook or Ebay) and yes, while they definitely need more protections in place ACROSS THE INDUSTRY, indiegogo itself is not inherently scammy. And to their credit, Planet Computers - without being required by any law to do so, seem to be processing refunds when asked.

The very concept of crowdfunding is, by definition, a risky proposition. The point of the original post was not to complain about the crowdfunding model, because that is not really in question. The problem is when established, supposedly reputable companies pull the rug out from under smaller operators, and then those small companies are left with a choice between building an inferior product or abandoning the project completely.

>Whether or not that's the correct decision, it's not an inconceivable design.

It's easy to imagine. Someone kept a variable for the current selection and instead of copying it during the enter event they just read it when the delayed action happens. It often takes time for a second window to open or a page to load. If that new window references the current selection you are going to run into bugs.

It's a design that has caused many video game exploits. You can do impossible things like disassemble a Fat man barrel and put it on a pistol in Fallout. You will get a rocket launcher that has the fire rate of a pistol except it shoots nukes and only uses bullets as ammo.

I did not repair any of my fridges (they never failed in all of my adult life), but I did repair my washing machine (AEG 15y.o.) and my beans-to-coffee DeLonghi (10+ y.o). Both were very repairable and it was a matter of identifying the failure and finding the right part on eBay.

How? Doesn't seem to me that most people think of it that way, but maybe I am not aware of some things. How can it even pretend be scientific when even the basic category in which it's placed is "a thought experiment"?

I agree, identity doesn't exist really, not in the physical, natural sense of existence...

Which is what the "silly thought experiment" is pointing at. He wouldn't have taken it that far, but the philosopher was trying to make a point in that direction.

Just because you reached such a level of enlightenment without silly thought experiments is no reason to be dismissive of the ladder that takes others to enlightenment. /s
