This does not compel social media to follow Polish law throughout the world. It only means that social media should be able to filter content per country as they should anyway because what's legal and what's illegal varies from country to country.

An example, which often pops up: Denying the Holocaust falls within free speech protected by the 1st Amendment in the US. On the other hand, it is a criminal offence in many European countries.

It may not matter if you have no legal presence in countries outside your own but the FAANG have legal presence in most in not all Western countries at the very least and must follow the laws of these countries.
I've been working on this idea of a news site that presents the events of the world in two columns. In the first column is a dry, wikipedia like list of events and facts, with references to how those facts were established, or who testified to the fact. (with lots of links thorough to related events)

Then in the second column is the commentary. Its where "journalists" and the community discuss the event.

A clear separation of "reality" and our interpretation of that reality.
That's typically the reason why I get into a debate.
If you want to do business in a country, then you have to follow the laws of that country. Polish courts would enter judgment against the company for violating Polish law, premising their jurisdiction on the activities of that company within their borders (e.g. accepting payment in polish currency, selling ads to polish businesses, charging for polish views/clicks). They can then seize the company's property in Poland to enforce that judgment. They can also introduce that judgment in foreign courts to do enforcement actions there. Those foreign courts would examine the validity of the Polish judgment (e.g. by reexamining jurisdiction) before issuing orders to enforce it.

There's nothing novel about this. This is how civil judgments are enforced across borders every day.
> the point is who decides if the democratic election was fair?

That one is easy: it was approximately 60 different courts of law that laughed the "evidence" of fraud out of the room
It's already happened. China is about 1/4 of the internet.

But even without legal barriers, the internet has most always been that way, due to language. Most people don't fire up a translator to visit sites on the other side of the planet; they just use the same sites that the rest of their community does.
There is also the component of building hype via marketing in order to generate pre-orders. With CP2077, they had made back the entire development costs immediately after launch. This means, refunds notwithstanding, that by the time your customers notice the state the game is in, you are already profitable, and have all the time in the world for PR damage control and patches.

What makes you think that? They mark those as disputed but haven’t generally touched the ones which aren’t calling for violence. The court filing in question clearly shows that Amazon wanted them to deal with violence, not dishonesty, too.
When comparing the outcome of covid, I think we need to consider more than the response of the government. The civil society played a key role, too.

Regarding covid, Taiwan did very well, despite being very close to China.

- The government responded quickly, tracing everyone who entered Taiwan to control for spread of covid.

- The civil society took it seriously, with the experience of SARS.

Taiwan beat covid because the society has trust in science and the government [1].

P.S. your link has a very pro-Beijing tone throughout:

You're right, there's no way this could reasonably enforced.
I think you're reading in things he did not say. He seems concerned he will be unpopular not illegal. Whether or not that is a reasonable concern is debatable... but history certainly has examples of that sort of thing.

That said, there are plenty of websites that do conspire to do illegal acts and seem to get away with it, for a time at least. (pirate bay, sci-hub are two im ok with ethically. The silk road is an example im less ok with)
So what?

How is that relevant to Stripe? They aren't the government. They're not even one of the top ten biggest payment processors.

How so? UX/UI for beginners is a big priority for Signal, your feedback could be helpful.

I might agree with you for Signal-Desktop: installing another application is always more friction, and it will get out of sync if you don't open it regularly, which doesn't happen with WA since the messages are retrieved from the phone.
That is sort of inevitable. Remember the cartoons mocking Muhammad?

It is not as if there is a worldwide consensus on whether mocking him is even legal. Some people consider it a crime worthy of death and others their natural right. You can't get much bigger polarization than that. Compared to the Cartoon Question, differences between R and D are not that big.

In Firefox this is not an issue and adding a custom search engine there is trivial.

I've just dug a hole in my back garden, and created 21 million tiny slices of air that now occupy that space. It took work to dig this hole, so it definitely has value. And I'm only digging one hole, ever, I promise.

I've also made a list of people who own the different bits of air in the hole. I'm using pencil and paper, but it works. If you give me some money I can write your name on there and you can "store value". Later if you tell me to write someone else's name, I can rub yours out and you can "exchange large values".

If you or your friends want the money back later, I can give it to you. Probably... mostly. But don't ask me for more money than you gave me in the first place, because I won't have it.

p.s. I lied when I said I dug the hole by myself. I really dug up a billion tonnes of coal and used it to power a microscopic spaghetti noodle which dug the hole. For some reason this gave a lot of people confidence that my hole is the One True Hole.

Yes, the timing matched with the negative media attention, similar to the removals of a few Trump subreddits recently.
"Also, no, not really - that didn't start the crisis in any reasonable meaning of that word."

The entire world disagrees with this.

The issue, in public, is very clear - actions by the the previous government in the summer of 2015 were declared anti-constitutional, and later actions highly undemocratic.

There is no doubt that this was the 'start of the crisis' by any objective measure.

It doesn't matter how much we may not like certain 'current authorities' - History is History - people should stop trying to rewrite it to suit their narrative. Suppressing these unfortunate events is not going to help anyone's cause in the long run.
Just ordered a Chinese box with 8th gen U-series i5, 8 GB of RAM and 120 GB of SSD. Has six ethernet connections, HDMI and COM. Planning to install OpenWRT to it, and with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of traffic through Wireguard.

I've had whatever routers before, but mostly when using some VPN to hide the traffic from your home network, and if having fast enough internet, a good CPU is a must.
IANAL but as I understand it, most governments will consider something to be in their jurisdiction if the user is within their jurisdiction, even if the server is not. See GDPR, which applies to all EU citizens globally- even one residing in the United States using US web services.

Yes.

Someone else pointed out just charging for waste at the time of manufacture/ import and that is an excellent way to resolve this.

Though companies which reclaim/ recycle old products should get credit for that effort as well.

Matrix's resource utilisation is improving very rapidly at the moment.

Dendrite is still in beta, and hasn't been tuned that much yet, but every release has had a substantial improvement. In other words, if you're not using today's release (0.3.5) you're on stale data. For context, dendrite.matrix.org (running 0.3.5) has ~5K users on it, and is in ~3K rooms spanning 162K users... and its RAM usage is stable at 488MB (occasionally spiking to 2GB during traffic spikes). This doesn't seem unreasonable at all for a chat server of that size. Meanwhile, Synapse has been steadily improving too.

On the client side, Hydrogen (https://hydrogen.element.io, https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web) is our next-gen client implementation, which gives you full E2EE, complete with backup (I have no idea what Durov is banging on about in the OP) - and uses 14MB of RAM for an account in 3,000 rooms spanning 350K users (i.e. my personal one). This is an 100x improvement on Element Web which uses 1.4GB for the same account, although there's also a lot of optimisation that can be done there too.

If I was going to criticise Matrix, I'd focus more on the fact that there are still a lot of papercuts on Element's UX which are holding us back. We're painfully aware of this though and are trying to fix as rapidly as we can.
So now Fetlife and Facebook need the same picture policy? Can't imagine that going well.
Yeah this article should not have been posted.

And btw you’ve hit the nail on the head. that’s the thing, I firmly believe the poster I replied to is wrong and a lot of other uncharitable descriptions. It’s hard to let such bad claims just stand unanswered.

Hey justhw, I launched something similar [1] a few months back. I’d love to talk with you about your stack. Here are the three biggest problems I ran into.

1. Request timeouts

Even "fast" blogs sometimes have hiccups or rate-limit scrapers/crawlers. The more I scale the more often I see requests timing out. I've tried to mitigate this with retry buttons and trying the request again, but it doesn't always work.

2. Scaling Puppeteer

I saw from another of your comments that this is built on top of Puppeteer. From my experience, trying to scale to even 3 concurrent renders starts to fall apart when you have to spin up a new Chrome instance for each request.

I've looked into Browserless [2] but they charge per second of usage, and I'm not at the point where I want to have that big of an expense.

3. Getting a relevant image

I love that your tool adds an image to the thumbnail as well! I struggled with searching Unsplash using the text in the title of the article but they never came out that well.

I love it when people make these massively useful services stitching together a few simple tools. Congrats on the launch!

Matrix already has solved it.
Message history is stored on the servers, like in Telegram.

With the difference, that the end user has a secret. This secret can be written down/saved and/or be implicitly passed through his/her own devices by e.g. scanning a QR code.

This works simultaneously across arbitrary platforms with arbitrary many devices including web.

Telegram seems to want to create the illusion that there is nothing which can provide the experience of Telegram with encryption.
It is not true.
Domestic terrorists deserve no quarter. There is no double speak, this group of insurrectionists wanted to destroy the rule of law. Pettifoging this reality to play the 1984 card is weak.

Incentivise consumers by giving them a cut of the charge to manufacturers when they report trashing an item. That is, if you recycle a phone within 5 years you get £5 (or some percentage or sale price) which is charged back to the manufacturer.

Wikipedia says 2011. So yes.
The United States Government decided it was fair, in many administrative and legal venues, across the country. Many Republican officials and judges affirmed it, even under intense and illegal pressure from the President and his cadre.

This platform was used to coordinate an insurrection against the United States Government, and refused to act against those doing so.

The severity of insurrection in US legal code is such that the military may be deployed domestically, and those service members who abetted it are guilty of an offense whose primary punishment in the UCMJ is death.

This isn't just another political issue. The most existential issue facing the state is the integrity of the Constitution.

> lighter footfall is likely minimizing impact on joints somehow

Simple: less stress (impact) => less damage (impact).

Listening to you body helps a lot. You body will (usually) tell you when you're doing something wrong, but it can be hard to understand.

I wanted to warn, because misconceptions like: I'm running => running is good for body => I'm doing good for body, even though my knees hurt every time; they can ruin many knees. Usually it won't get far, but there are always those who push.
Many may not support it, but nearly half do including many elected Republican politicians. This isn't a fringe Trump supporter issue, but a major issue within the Republican party and with American conservatism in general. Maybe the perception of conservatives being censored is just a reflection of the reality that they support using violence to obtain their goals at much, much higher rates than liberals do and are just suffering the consequences of their actions?

Don't make it about consumers then.

> The answer must be yes

This does not logically follow. It is entirely possible that going even further would require greater resources than even the superintelligence can bring to bear.
> This is a common error in reasoning by the way: looking to the way current law happens to be and inferring from that what the right thing to do is.

I understand this, and the understanding is implicit in the way I phrased: "our society has agreed that we shouldn't force people to change their religion." It's also worth noting that "religion" here usually refers to practices and beliefs that don't infringe on other people's rights. To evaluate whether these practices infringe on someone's rights, one should take into account their protected classes: i.e. you're not allowed to discriminate against a person's skin color even if your religion says that you should.

Our society has also agreed that certain beliefs are reprehensible and deserve no place in society: both major political sides think that advocating for violence is unacceptable, and therefore both the Democrats and the (centrist) Republicans cannot claim that private companies who refuse to host a platform that allows calls for violence are unjustly discriminating — if the politicians want to be logically consistent. (This is what I meant by "When your political beliefs include inciting violence by spreading unfounded conspiracy theories, then private companies have a right to kick you off.") This is a positive statement, not a normative statement.

Normatively, alt-right beliefs should not be given the same protections as religions because they infringe on other people's rights. For example, repeated, false allegations of voter fraud indirectly infringe on people's right to vote because they effect court cases that call for legitimate voters to be disenfranchised.

I don’t think it is fair to compare it to Ghost of Tsushima or RDR2.

Both games have worlds that are mostly empty, with few buildings here and there. As far as I remember, RDR2 dropped to ~25FPS in Saint Denis on my PS4 just after launch (not sure now), and Saint Denis is tiny comparing to Night City.
>In either case, best this be settled in courts and legislation, not corporate meeting rooms that are echo chambers of opinion.

I'm really confused by what your points is. You spend most of your post talking about how laws against hate speech are ineffectual because courts can't determine a persons emotions and beliefs, and then say it's best handled by laws and courts.
How exactly is decentralisation related to the idea that there should be no governments?

That said, governments are just organizations and very powerful organizations at that. Like any powerful organization, a government can become corrupt or tyrannical and start working against the populace. It is always a good idea to keep it in check so that its power cannot grow boundless.
> They opted to TELL people about it which is a good indicator.
