I would think it should be covered by the same doctrine.

Just as an exercise. Suppose a private club is where all members are know to the owner and all associate members are know to a member. A public square is a place where people can stumble into without any direct affiliation (search, directory, discovery, recommendations, shares).

Under this definition it matters not who is hosting your pictures, it only matters if strangers are welcome. And if they are then all strangers are welcome.

Now my idea here does cover the hypothetical theater - you want people to discover it, but you don’t want them causing noise during the performance. So it’s not a great definition. But it serves to illustrate.

Exactly backwards. Copyright is control of data.
Steam was always a high target for hackers and a low target for law enforcement (who cares about your stolen games?). It makes a lot of sense for them to implement every security method conceivable.

They need more than a simple majority to convict in the senate trial, so it seems unlikely to be successful. The best they can hope for is to force republicans to vote in favor of the insurrection and hope that is still an unpopular choice in 2022.
I'm aware you can opt-out of this in other browsers, but the default is to emit user input to Google, without the user being made aware. In Brave, if you wish to send your keystrokes to a third-party, you must opt-in. That's the key difference here.
Slashdot's moderation system is quite unique. It's fairly hard to get mod points and they expire quickly, so brigading is almost impossible. Posts have a very low mod cap (5) as well so it stays fairly flat. There is also a meta-moderation system although it's never been clear to me how effective it is.

Probably the biggest thing keeping it in check is that they still a fully editor driven website. No article shows up that hasn't been seen by someone at Slashdot HQ, so it's nearly impossible for trolls to flood the zone with hate speech, and even if they try it's easy to filter out by just changing your post threshold. Also, the community is so small these days that nobody would even bother.

Aether (https://getaether.net) has some of these features:

- Distributed content delivery. Every Aether node hosts the content. There is no centralized server hosting the data.

- Customizable moderation. You're free to ignore a moderator that who is being unfair and you don't see the results of their moderation. What they delete is only hidden to people who trust the moderator.
"All he has to do is say there are five lights"
Well, your internet already is billed like a utility, but just like how there is no utility tracking utilization by person in a household, I would expect no such requirement for data. That doesn’t mean ISPs and other players won’t try.
I think this is the crux of the issue - Rockstar seems to be pretty heavy handed in keeping their marketing department in check, it's a thing more developers and publishers need to learn. Early and inaccurate marketing is a liability - quantity does not equal quality and marketing departments generally feel like they're judged based on quantity (and often escape issues with over-hyping in favor of shifting blame onto developers).
But they're not being backed into a corner. They're factually wrong about almost everything that motivated the riots on Jan. 6th. They're self-insulating in a media bubble designed to cater to them. When engaged in dialogue, they're aggressively ignorant and accusatory.

What do you do with a group of people claiming they don't have a voice under those circumstances? What do you do when they're acting out violent insurrectionist fantasies under those circumstances?
Rogan seems like one of the most un-polarizing forces in media right now. He can support Bernie Sanders, a left wing position, and oppose trans rights, a right wing position. Almost everyone else is more pushed into either the left or right pole.
By the way before anyone shouts at me, I know email isn't E2E encrypted. As I've said before on HN: if you are looking to communicate securly, you shouldn't be using anyone else's infrastructure. That includes Signal et al.

Most people chatting to their friends and family don't need that level of security.

If you don't want China listening to you: don't use someone else's system.

It wasn't from private posts, it was from deleted posts. Parler left them accessible and so they happened to be caught when scraping.
I've read the GA and PA lawsuits in full, and was on the conference call to hear the PA court arguments for the motion to dismiss. Your take on it is not even remotely accurate. There was plenty of evidence, but it's apparently a thought crime to say so.

If there was nothing to hide there wouldn't be a need to censor it.
I don't think it's all that surprising:

- The PC version is by far the most playable

- CDPR games haved worked well on Linux through proton in the past

- Stadia targets are very narrow set of hardware and I would assume Google added a couple of patches to make sure it plays well.

You probably still get the logic bugs that you see in all platforms but from everything I have seen it seems like once the games passes a "performance threshold" the graphics hold up pretty well.
One attacked during, and one suicide after. 2 total Capitol officers dead.
This is where it gets interesting and the devil really is in the detail on this one.
If you define hate speech according to this:

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states that "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence shall be prohibited by law".

You are saying that this group cannot broadcast a message if that message tells transsexual people that they cannot be transsexual and be approved of by this groups god. Yet broadcasting such messages is a core part of their religion. So are you now discriminating against that religion in an effort to avoid discriminating against transsexual people?

If that is so then your comment could be classed as hate speech. I don't think it should be but I do think this highlights the risks and the need to limit what we consider hate speech. That to err on the side of free speech is the safer option.
SnoopDogg shows up in NYT article’s comments to praise his Amiga 2000
Their voice, democratically, is more powerful per-vote than your typical Democratic voter due to their geographic distribution (and, in the house, gerrymandering).

I can't find it now, but I saw some data that showed if the votes were split 50/50 Republicans would control the white house, 57 Senate seats, and hold a solid house majority.

Democrats are able to win marginal victories because they are a big tent party that tries to build a more moderate coalition of voters, while pulling in the country's left flank. Joe Biden would be a center-right politician in most western democracies, despite being considered the "left wing" candidate in the United States.

Republicans need to take fewer steps to the center to build a winning coalition. For example, there's a real chance Trump could have won with a 2nd round of COVID stimulus checks, but he was ultimately talked out such measures by conservative economic advisors (despite majority of his own supporters wanted a more robust stimulus plan for COVID) So it would have been a win-win. Unfortunately, by capitulating to a specific niche in his party it cost him popular support and ultimately the election.

The sad truth is, if Trump listened to his own supporters and actually governed as a populist he would have easily won reelection and this whole mess would have been avoided. But instead, he merely communicated like a populist but chose to govern more like a crummy Jeb Bush. If you look at the bills passed by the 115th congress[1] nothing looks particularly populist or even "Trumpian". Branding vs execution.

Payout totals are coming soon to that page; I've been working with our team to establish those APIs so that the build-script for that page can pull in that information
Thanks for sharing that, I hadn't seen that post.

I can see how you would take it that way, but honestly people have been saying a lot worse on the internet for a long time now.

I believe he's saying that we should have military tribunals to try and execute traitors, but of course those words were implied, not explicitly said.

I agree it's inflammatory for sure, but after all the crap I've seen on the internet, this is hardly a post to justify removing the entire platform this was posted on.
I'm mostly just looking for a brief, clear overview, rather than a bunch of links and questions. Thanks!
This is a good point. And with the tech giants banning accounts, tightening screws, de-platforming and demonetizing whomever they please, I don't see how those can possibly feel like they do have a voice.

I think it's poignant that the Russian opposition to Putin is up in arms about Twitter banning Trump. Because de-platforming (web, TV and radio) is how the loss of freedom of speech started in Russia after Yeltsin resigned and Putin started getting rid of voices critical of him.
> Neutrality is not a realistic goal

I didn't ask for the source to be perfectly neutral, just "mostly neutral." I'm pretty sure I won't make the best choices all of the time, but I still strive to make good choices.

Furthermore the idea of a neutral source comes from TFA; I was merely trying to point out that, even if such a source were to emerge, there doesn't appear to be a stable equilibrium in which that source can persist to exist and be trusted.
Their voice was claiming there were cases with merits.

There weren't.
Your post reads as if it's downplaying the significance of Wednesday's failed coup attempt, and the incredible ramifications of it.
"Epidemiologists lied about masks (or they really didn't know better 3-5 months into the pandemic, also not good)..."

Technically, if my timeline is right[1], about 2 months into the pandemic, for his example. 3-4 months generally. Plus they had a prior belief that masks wouldn't be useful.

[1] The world outside China learned about the thing at the end of December; his example is the first week of March.
> For HFT purposes, it's hard to hide an intercontinental range HF antenna, particularly a directional one. I know at least 3 locations not far from the illinois CME datacenter, out in some fields, with huge yagi-uda antennas aimed at London and tokyo.

Got any pictures?
From the other side of the coin, I see that technology can be controlled if certain events happened. I remember the time when people discuss if artificial intelligence will take control of human, and we can't do anything to stop.
Perhaps they cannot price in reliability? How many people know that Miele offers long lasting and repairable appliances, instead of just expensive ones?

I for one "know" this by weighing HN anecdotes I've seen over the years - couple dozen saying that they sell solid stuff, and one or two saying that they used to sell solid stuff, but are now following the trend of replacing metal components with cheap plastics. How do I evaluate that? Brand trust isn't that strong a signal.
I dunno, Trump supporters were rejecting Fox for projecting Biden wins in close states. The Fox decision desk has perhaps the best track record on calling elections (maybe tied with AP). If not even a right-leaning institution that was formerly adored can sway them, what hope does a neutral one have?
Don't get your point here.

If the mob (these weren't protestors, they were a mob) hadn't stormed the Capitol, nobody would have died.
Wow, nice concept. It looks promising.
I know what the first hit of google says. It's the only thing anyone can give me when they assert that the O&G industry is the recipient of subsidization. And it's a total joke. It mentions stuff like asset depreciation and LIFO inventory accounting. Basic accounting principles are not subsidies, and are not specific to the oil industry. The author was clearly stretching to try to prove a political point; it is not an accurate representation of the facts.

The point is that the government does not pay you incentives to consume oil like it does for electric cars or solar panels.
“I” not “I’ve”
Parler obviously only existed to cater to right wing extrimsm and violent rhetoric. It's the reason they "couldn't" moderate it, as if they did there would be no reason for it to exist.

Reddit is still around even after r/thedonald and other violent / hateful subreddits were on the site and finally banned. The difference is reddit doesn't primarily exist to foster violence and extremism.
> The violence we saw is just the start, some parts of the MAGA crowd have been radicalized.

What parts aren't radicalized?
> It costs money to host content. Forcing a business to host content costs them

We force businesses to do a lot of things. The compliance costs here, for example, are a rounding error compared to GDPR compliance costs (especially around the ability to look up your own data), or right-to-be-forgotten compliance costs.

It's possible this is a bad law, but this is a sorta weak argument.
The first impeachment attempt seemed to have a reasonable chance on paper - but quickly fell apart because Democrats demanded running up the list of charges such that the entire process became a farce.

Unless Democrats can really stick to one well aimed narrow charge, this one will likely fall apart too. They only need to include one ridiculous charge to have Republicans nope out.
I think you underestimate the power of American politics and its influence over other countries.

Many politicians are publicly supporting Trump despite sharing none of his values and none of his political stances just because he is branded as a successful right-wing politician. Most people don't know how skewed the political window is in the US anyway.

Even moderate right-wing politician from a European perspective want to be associated with him because he represents the right.

Because of that, news reporters in Europe tend to be gentle with Trump and the Republican party, glossing over their most egregious acts, to not appear biased, despite the small number of people actually supporting the same policies locally. And they still need to report on the USA because of their importance in the world.

Also at play, the incomprehension in translating American problems to other countries'. In other events, the BLM movements was imported to other countries with little knowledge of the US systemic problems and used/criticized in different ways.

This is how American politics can drag the political discussion over the world and impact the political spectrum everywhere.
I haven't seen the one with Cruz, but I did see the one with T**p that was pretty internet-famous a few months ago. The interviewer didn't seem so much "excitable" as exasperated that the subject couldn't provide a coherent answer and frustrated he had to re-phrase the same question over and over before giving up and moving on. It would have been easy to set a gotcha trap, but I thought the interviewer did a good job keeping it professional and asking real questions that deserved answers.
I bought a Unifi Dream Machine last year because it was an all-in-one device that seemed like the simplest way to have multiple VLANs on my home network, in order to segregate my IoT devices and security system from the rest of my home network. At the time, I didn't see any similar products.

Are there any other "prosumer"-type devices on the market that could replace a Dream Machine? If Unifi is going downhill it doesn't seem like I'll be going with them for a replacement.
Getting Ready for Launch
Breaking the law is a storied tradition for protesters. Not historically open-carry laws, granted.

Anyway I'm not sure why that means the state will have a rough time. It may mean they'll have an easier time, as they have a readily-available reason to arrest the protesters.
OP forgot to mention the 2 pipe bombs, the long guns found and the famous zip tie guy. Also forgot to mention the chants to behead Pence and Pelosi.
This would be a nightmare for anyone trying to host a family-friendly forum.

“Hey, no pornography!” “What are you gonna do about it?”

Completely reactionary and fails to consider practicality.
Isn't it about trade-offs? As long as my carrier provides my family with free iPhones, I will bear the inconvenience of requesting device unlock every few years. It takes 2 minutes to unlock it. If I am to pay full price for the device I will not get a locked one.
Tech Censorship Is the Real Gift to Putin
Are there any in-depth, not too speculative studies on the interrelationship between the right-wing and law enforcement in the United States?
Penalties for non performance is like the most standard thing possible in a contract. Its hardly some unfair clause like you agree not to sue ever. Hell, even without a clause specificly stating penalties, you could still probably sue for damages from breaching a contract. (Obviously in the parler case amazon probably didnt breach, but if you are negotiating your own contract it probably wouldn't allow for arbitrary termination with no notice)
One of the medical issues was a trampled protestor... another supposedly had a medical issue unrelated to the riot while going to their car before or during the riot.

Haven’t found a reference for the other.
People aren't complaining about arbitrage, they're complaining about microsecond-level timing optimizations. The same benefits to smaller players could be obtained from trading at a human time scale (e.g. something around professional StarCraft player actions per minute).
While I largely disagree, it’s a fair opinion.

However, to your last point:

> to have, it is suspicious to me that you don't trust the FBI on this. I'm no blind supporter of LEO (Ha!) but how are you suspicious of the claim, given the behavior and events of the past week/two months? It makes no sense.

No one had firearms at the capital, at least so far as I’m aware. Had they brought them that would be a different story. I also built a platform to monitor social networks (check my profile). I haven’t picked anything up like all 50 states protesting. A few surely, but idk not some crazy coordination or anything (honestly seems more from the left). Could be underground, but idk. The capital protest had far more going on.
Oh yes. I remember the stories. They read like reports of the first western anthropologists to reach the highlands of New Guinea in the early 20th century.

"Who are these strange and mysterious people who call themselves 'Iowans'? Why are they so different from we civilised folk? Tonight at 8PM, Sienna Cichlid has an exclusive report."
At times like this, we should honor the fallen and remember their name. If only for the short time to honor their duty.

Someone in the mob threw a fire extinguisher at Officer Sicknick's head. Later on the 1/6th, Sicknick collapsed due to a stroke (probably related to the beating he received). A day later on the 7th, he succumbed to his injury and died. I don't believe he ever "returned to duty", but now that we have his name, his story is at least more easily searchable.
I believe we have had patches accepted by Google. But the idea that Google controls Brave because Google controls Chromium is not exactly right, IMHO. There are a lot of contributors to Chromium, from various companies. And there are a lot of projects that don't contribute to Chrome (or haven't been successful in doing so), but do patch. Brave patches Chromium (as does Microsoft). You can read more about how we deviate from the project here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...
In 2020 a major theme was "de-escalation" when it comes to policing. Instead of ratcheting up the intensity the police should try and calm things down. I think most people on HN can agree with that idea. Let cooler heads prevail.

So why then are people applauding Big Tech and the politicians when they do the opposite? De-platforming the president, cutting off Parler, these actions will inflame already high tensions. Impeaching trump again with 9 days to go before he's gone? It's a major escalation. The media and the politicians seem to want armed rebellion. It's so totally fucked up. And half the country doesn't see the other half as anything but "racist".

The media has ruined America. Game over.
For God’s sake, they were chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, make no mistake this could have been way worse if it wasn’t for the Secret Service and some brave police officer who mislead the mob away from Senate.
> The claims in 2016 was that it was for all intents and purposes stolen by a foreign adversary’s interference

There were some who made an argument like that (and given how close the states necessary to swing the election were, its not hard to see how if interference had any effect at all, it could easily have been a decisive one); and, sure, also the same kind of complaints occurred with regard to the Republican FBI director’s last-minute misconduct with regard to the handling of the Clinton email investigation, but for both of those it was in, at most, a moral sense of “stolen” with regard to the election; the legal allegations were never about an invalid election.

Even though the fact of foreign interference and the allegations of collusion (and, the much less complex facts of Comey’s behavior) were present well before the election, there was no issue raised in the electoral vote count meeting the minimum member-from-each-house requirement for challenging any states electoral votes. There were no lawsuits against states votes predicated on either of these objections. There was no rally with either the sitting Democratic President or the defeated Democratic candidate and other Democratic elites riling up a mob that proceeded to attack the Capitol to use violence to alter the outcome of the count based on the objections. There was no even remote equivalence, and the both-sides-ism here is not something anyone with even casual familiarity with the facts could plausibly argue in good faith.
It is downplaying. What happened was unprecedented political violence and the only reason to make an argument like the parent is because you cannot admit it deserves a serious, judicial response.
Note that in the past AWS has been more than open to hosting platforms organizing potential mass murder of targeted groups, to the point of issuing a lawsuit after a competitor was chosen to host the platform. [1]

My understanding is that the Mayor specifically asked other law enforcement agencies to stay away. Draw your own conspiracies from this.

Democracy requires people to put a very high value on the preservation of democracy. It requires work, more than any abstract principles. Hiding behind those principles to excuse doing things that directly endanger democracy is shameful.
