What white supremacist are you referring too? And what insurrection?
I didn't claim I could. I was just wondering if there was a derivative market yet. Speculation on speculation.
I have no idea what "giving it safe haven" in the context of social media site means (am I "giving safe haven" for everybody that ever posted on HN? am I responsible for every comment ever posted on HN?) so in the interest of sanity I answered the part which is not obviously nonsensical, since X or false == X.
Next step: your internet provider will not resolve parler.com.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist.
For 'normal' companies this definitely would be absurd, but I think a good amount of these incredibly large companies should essentially be regulated as a public utility.

>Unless you're suggesting government should just ban hate speech?

For 'published' speech that is, essentially like libel. I know that censorship laws can be dangerous, but it realistically just strikes me as the lesser evil. You evidently can't just let that stuff openly fester, but I simply can't imagine a situation where the government would suppress 'good' speech but a company with equal power wouldn't.
Yes, the test is sort of a strange one because the read test is reading directly in to the final destination wheras mmap is not and doing a redundant copy instead. So it's not your typical "eliminate a copy and go faster" usage of mmap.

What it actually seems to be comparing is whether its faster if the copy happens in the kernel, in the read() system call, or whether it's faster in userspace.

The results are puzzling because I would expect the kernel to be faster since it would incur no page-faults to access the pages from page cache since those ought to fall under the page-global mappings, or, at least, be in the kernels linear ram map which use 1GB pages (edit: in either case, not incur faults for demand map/demand load). But maybe that's no longer the case in a post-spectre world?

So I think actually it's a test of "does AVX go enough-faster to outweigh the costs of the extra-pagefaults incurred by copying from a user-space mapping which has not been prefaulted"

Sounds like the answer is yes (which still surprises me). And I expect if they MAP_POPULATE it would pull even further ahead...
"Half the country" isn't active enough with their social media to even notice a new platform, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they are on.
That's gotta be a European thing. In the US, cassette drives were pretty much non-existent (in favor of 5.25" floppy drives) from at least the mid-80's onward, at least. I personally have absolutely no memory whatsoever of ever seeing anyone actually use a cassette drive to load programs on a computer. (though I did read about it in books on occasion).
And I was a kid during the era of the Apple IIe's popularity, with machines of its ilk being my first exposure to computers.

Even into the 386/486 era, at least before CD-ROM drives were commonplace, it was common for computers to have both 5.25" and 3.5" drives and to find software in either format.
I never had problems with exercise motivation so I don’t need someone to keep me accountable but I absolutely dread pushing myself and lifting more weight. Fitness apps with pretty graphs help a bit but what helps me the most is to have some goals like “squat X lbs by the end of year”. It seems to help so far!

Your suggestion about making exercise a habit is spot on. Just do it as a routine without even thinking and enjoy the rewards to do important things.
for whatever reason, I thought it was from Altered Carbon..not Westworld. glad i googled to check.

the piece reminded me of altered carbon, season 1.

If you're a small content maker but financially rely on works you've created more than 20 years ago, you're doing something wrong. Try creating something new.
If I was a betting man I’d say the 21st January - because I can’t help but think BTC’s inflated price is predicated on the uncertainties in our political situation.

I don’t mean that in a “collapse of western civilisation”-sense - I mean it more that Biden may normalise relations with countries where Bitcoin is used for-real because of sanctions or concerns over economic disenfranchisement: if people (and oligarchs) in Russia, Iran and Venezuela can participate in the normative financial systems (SWIFT, Visa, Mastercard, etc) then BTC has far less real utility and thus less value.

Heck, I think if more US states and other countries legalise drugs that would also deal a blow (no pun intended) to BTC’s price.
Or use cloud services from companies which historically haven't played politics, many of which are ISPs as well: Verizon, ATT, IBM, etc.

If YouTube or FB used AWS I would be shocked. Especially so if YouTube did.
> but banning the president - who said LEAVE IN PEACE is what we should be doing.

This is not all he said, nor does this capture the key context.

The argument is simple: the risk of allowing Trump to continue to have access to Facebook and Twitter outweighs the benefit.

I would like to point out that the president has an unmatched ability to put out information, independent of social media, including: whitehouse.gov, press releases, press briefings, and the major television networks.
I don’t think it holds in general for all civil rights, but I do think this change in mindset underpins the increased protection of gender and sexual orientation vs 20 or 30 years ago. Even the typical verbiage has changed, from sexual preference to orientation.
I'm doing cervical spine traction right now... it makes my head hurt but I've found ways to do it that are less uncomfortable.

My story is similar to others here, I'm a lifelong athlete with some injuries that are exacerbated by computer usage. I now stand all day, every day with a monitor at head height, which has been the most impactful lifestyle change. Otherwise I do stretching, some exercises like in this article, deep breathing, and massage.

Looking forward to getting back to lifting and sprinting full-time, meanwhile though my cervical spine needs to become more stable. I'm never going back to sitting at a computer, because I literally can't! I suppose that's good ultimately but I do find it hard to concentrate on certain things while standing.

>Where the hell was the outrage then? We begged people to support us and tell these companies to back off but no one did.

>The inaction of everyone has lead to this. Welcome to how "free market capitalism" actually just means dozens of small unaccountable governments with more power than hundreds of countries combined. You asked for this. Take it.

There was no inaction. The inactivity was intentional. Things were going great. Bank balances were going up, everything was centralizing, everyone else putting off the difficulty of learning to actually make something and keep it free.

The last 4 years has injected more jade into my worldview than the rest of the years of my life combined.
They self host
Because just calling for it does nothing. It’s clear that a top-down approach would be much more effective at solving systemic racism in law enforcement than a bottom-up one. The racists get witch-hunted and fired? Good. People being scared to be overtly racist is a good thing.
AWS doesnt need to wait for a service to violate the law to remove it.

They have a TOS and policies like any other company. You can get kicked off AWS for much less than hosting a service that willfully turns a blind eye to domestic terrorism.

What existing law do you think prevents Amazon from removing Parler?
Each province administers it's own health care. So the level of service and time you have to wait varies significantly depending on where you live in Canada. Waiting six months for a specialist appointment is not unusual, for example, in say Quebec.
That's very shortsighted.

You may not, but who knows about your friends, family, coworkers, etc.

Even if you didn't have ties to China, or know anyone who does, foreign agents can still use that data against you in your home country if they decide they need you to do something (maybe you don't work on classified stuff, but you're a janitor that has access, or one of a million other possibilities).

Lots of spying isn't done by foreign adversaries, it's done by the locals they recruit either via money/gifts, thrill, blackmail, etc.

>Why is a moderation strategy required at all? If I wanted to create a platform which followed US law and nothing else, I would be instantly deplatformed. Really, all I need is a legal department.

I know you created a throwaway to troll, but I'll humor you anyway. I could come up with endless reasons why a company would want to require moderation, but at the end of the day: because they say so. Amazon created the platform, Amazon creates the rules.

I find it mind numbing that the same people that want to live on Parler because "freedom" simultaneously think a private company shouldn't have the freedom to choose who they do or don't want as a customer. Meanwhile gay people can't buy a wedding cake and that's A-OK because freedom.

On what basis do you think Trump has the interest in calming the fringe elements? And if he did have the motivation, on what basis do you think he would be successful?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

Maybe things have changed in 10 years, but even the most racist southern farmer I knew in the officer cprps wouldn't have bombed am American city, for several reasons.

The US military is responsible for many atrocities, but I'll eat my own dick if a US military officer ever bombs an American city.

Also, thanks for the patronizing remarks, no one uses that phrase as intended and it's now become less likely anyone would use your version. The bad apples in the military officer corps get removed very quickly, I bet your example will be court martialed and ejected with dishonorable discharge by springtime. If I had been his CO, I'd have him on literal bread and water on his way to federal prison for life for his acts, and most officers I know would do the same; the rest would probably want to shoot him.
Just commenting to clarify that "hang Pence" trending was associated with folks sharing and retweeting videos of people chanting hang pence at the capitol. It was NOT an incitement to violence and to hang Pence. If anything, it was actually a condemnation of those calling to hang Pence.
I was talking about the Russian sparsely populated far-East. The city of Vladivostok is in Qing China territory and was acquired in the Treaty of Aigun (which is considered an "unequal treaty").

In the area the Russian population is dwindling and the Chinese population is increasing, so those watching the region are expecting China to 'salami slice' its way to control over that massive amount of land.

It would also bolster China's claim of being a 'near-Arctic state', so it's almost a foregone conclusion that they'll be moving to do this.
I think the best plan of action is creating a new decentralized free speech platform, as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub.

I’ve sent a message to sama & pg asking to add this to the YC list of ‘requests for startups’. I hope they hear.

For those lurking, this is a tremendous opportunity and real need as you have half the country desperate to let their voice be heard while being aggressively silenced and de-platformed for political reasons.

> "if trump can calm down the fringe elements, that's what he needs to do."

Trump has never given any indication that he would do this if he could. He's had plenty of opportunities to call out bad behavior and has been at best equivocal when's he's gestured in that direction.

You're right, that it is strange and surreal.
>losing 60-something court cases

This is misinformation. They didn't lose 60-something cases, the vast majority of cases were rejected for lack of standing, i.e. the courts refused to even hear them.
True, but the article talks about the violent protesters, not the non-violent ones.
Putting aside the fact that I have no clue what you mean when you say "YouTube and FaceBook's compute resources on AWS" (Google and Facebook have their own datacenters), Google and Facebook have robust content moderation policies/procedures. That alone explains why "the same pretenses" wouldn't apply.
Amazon can freely choose to do business with whomever they choose to. They have no legal carrier responsibility to host hate speech with violent calls to action if they choose not to do so.
"In context," when you remove Trump's say-the-quiet-part-loud advocacy of beating journalists and harming arrested criminals by bashing their heads off of the frames of cars while putting them into cruisers. And also ignore what he's said repeatedly in other speeches where he thinks he should be "given" another term and, oh right, where he straight-up mobster-ranted at Georgia's Secretary of State demanding he find him votes.

Sorry dude. We don't play half-blind here for the sake of your argument.

And if you want less "partisan rage"--well, plenty of the chumleys who stormed the Capitol are still at large, we can sure start there! Somehow, in comparison, I think me chuckling at Parler getting their just desserts doesn't even rate. ;)
The confidence problem is unfixable with these people. They will never have confidence in the system unless their side wins - as such they are a threat to it and society should do everything it can to peacefully ostracize this.

If the goal was to truly add trust they would not have stormed the capitol at the behest of Trump and his allies. This immediately proves the goal is not trust - it is power.

Now you must prove to me why I should trust these challenges - as they are filled with lies and conspiracy theories. The trust problem is with the insurrectionists. You have not dealt with this or have proven the system has no integrity. You are using ambiguity, like a flat-earther. It won't work here, sorry.
Correct. You can't falsely shout "fire" in a crowded theater, you can't obstruct an existential war, you can't spread anti-vaccine propaganda during a pandemic.

These are all legal arguments with a well-established history.
Agreed.

It doesn't sound like the platforms that profit off of our collective division want to do anything to defuse tension.

I'm baffled at how far these companies will go to keep people viewing ads.

Something needs to disempower the newsfeed-driven media companies before the violence snowballs.

Things will only get better when we start trying to find common ground. These media platforms are designed to ensure that doesn't happen.
Shouldn't Wall Street be more concerned about the Capitol insurrection?
They do. But that doesn't mean Amazon is obliged to do business with any particular group if they decide it's not in their best interests. Freedom of association is a right.
Beekeepers will go out and gather swarms or extract them from unwanted places if they know about them, and they have capacity. Beekeepers losing their hives drives up demand for harvesting wild ones.

So even if that weren’t a two way street, the wild ones would still be under duress.

Lol what the fuck are you even trying to say.

Edit: To clarify, I do think Trump is the KING of promoting peace. You are correct, and also might I add, very cool. Please give me kiss.
They vandalized the whole country during a god damn pandemic (how many thousand lives lost?) and their leadership has strong ties to anti semitism. So yes they very much did, in addition to this autonomous zone bs by lunatic anarchists running under the flag. Pretty sure the body count was larger than 5 too.
The fact that you think his post is violent and want to tattle to the moderator is all I need to be afraid of censorship.

Parler has users who are actively trying to overthrow the government, after their first and failed attempt 3 days ago. It's become their safe space because they have already been banned on other platforms for months/years now. This situation is vastly more unique and organized then the standard hate speech that appears on every other platform (and gets removed when caught or amplified). This is ISIS level radicalization in the United States.
It's not clear to me if letting people "rape" robots would lead to increase or decrease in human rape (which would be the only thing that matters in this discussion).

Best I could find is this: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2013/dec/08... which implies it's an ethno-centric religion, so a hostile observer surely could call it "racist" (in an extended sense, where "racism" means exclusion by any ethnic origin, not just specifically the color of one's skin - just as antisemitism is commonly considered under the same term, even if majority of Jews it's directed at are of the same race as their persecutors).

Actually it's not that long a list:

I think it's in the interest of the FBI and CIA to covertly run a service that caters to the extremists, so that they can monitor their activities. If they get driven underground, it will be harder to maintain tabs on them, but the create a platform that let's them talk among themselves, it seems as easy as shooting fish in a barrel!
There is, however, a feedback loop. Those candidates weren't as antagonistic or openly immoral as Trump. The tribalism drives us to support more tribalistic politicians, who naturally aggravate the tribalism further, and so on.

I'm in favour of it, and hope it does well. But at the same time, constant growth itself doesn't mean that much.

There's a big difference between slow constant growth and explosive constant growth. Something can constantly grow yet still remain something most people have never heard of. I think Linux on the desktop is a reasonable example of this.

The alternatives will likely be constantly growing as well.
