The Banning of Donald Trump, and How Decentralization Makes It All Better
Only on Hacker News could an out of date 2 year old article about Facebook be the no.1. story.

Less popular articles posted around the same time include Intel's announcement of a new processor, a new prototype operating system, and a plan to create a vaccine against AIDS.
Which statements contradict each other? I'm not seeing it.

What I do see is mass hysteria surrounding his statements.

"I condemn in the strongest possible terms..."

But he didn't call them terrorists (in a quote I could find) in an off the cuff statement, so you're entitled to telepathically divine another meaning from the statement?

Take another angle. When Trump said, "There will be a peaceful transition to a new administration", some of his supporters imagined this meant he isn't leaving the Whitehouse.

For myself, I have no telepathic abilities. Nor do I believe that those who are passionate about their love or hate for the man have telepathic abilities.

What I observe is mass hysteria. From the left, this is buoyed by media spin. On the right, you have the Q types. Again this is buoyed by media dishonesty. If media institutions were less misleading, perhaps there would be more trust in establishment sources. Instead there is a vacuum where deranged conspiracies can mix in among perspectives the media would rather not cover.

Not to be negative, but teamspeak and ventrilo represent some of the biggest failures of 'getting stuck in your lane' ever. They got fat on hosted server revenue and never iterated. Both of them had years (decade?) on discord and never thought to make their product free, web based or have a better chat. Ventrilo still has no official ios/android app (lol). Both remind me of craigslist, actually- Except that craigslist is still going strong (for now).

Both still exist, granted- And many still use them. Its just that discord really shouldnt exist, it should have been one of these players. The head start they had should have been insurmountable.

Also, apologies for not really commenting on the subject at hand (TS supporting matrix) - Its just I so rarely hear about TS/Vent that I thought it worth me shouting into the ether my disappointment I am not talking to all my friends on vent/ts in 2021.
> Most people in the Polish software industry works on B2B contracts

I'm not sure if it is "most". In every company I worked those were outliers (e.g. max ~10%, and in current company it is only for HR/reception workers), but yeah, it is quite common.

But not all employers allow B2B contracts and if they do, it frequently involves some kind of worse benefits than the usual employee contract.
And different employers have different way of handling vacation (some don't pay for it, some do), so it is another caveat to watch for.

And B2B people are always the first ones to let go (they are hired, because of that "perk"), so you can find another job fast, but not always the one you want (e.g. further from your place).

Generally if your employer allows you to select form of employment it is quite good sign.

If the employer allows only B2B it is usually a way to cut costs for the employer and I would watch out.

As you can see I prefer normal, cosy employment contract, but yeah I have children so that probably influences my view.

Sample translated tweet:

Last night, a checkpoint near the center of Kunduz called Houz, which fired mortars at civilians, was destroyed.
Two tanks were destroyed, one soldier was killed and three others, including two commanders (Aman and Majid), were captured alive.
Also, 2 tanks of the auxiliary enemy were destroyed, 1 soldier was killed and many weapons and ammunitions were recovered from them.
Here is a Sieve filter I use on Protonmail (free account), which shows some of the things that are possible. The labels it assigns have to be created manually first:

require ["vnd.proton.expire", "fileinto", "variables", "imap4flags", "relational"];
## Detect email forwarded from Gmail and set them to automatically delete after 60 days
if anyof(header :matches "Return-Path" "*+caf_*@gmail.com*", header :matches "X-Forwarded-For" "*@gmail.com*"){
expire "day" "60"; # set expiry to 60 days (uses custom Protonmail extension)
fileinto "Gmail"; # file into Gmail folder
}
## Add name field as label
## 1st * matches sender name as ${2}
## This doesn't work because automatic label/folder creation is not supported by Protonmail
#if header :matches "from" "?*? <*" {
# fileinto "Gmail/${2}";
# fileinto :create "Gmail/${2}";
#}

## Try to detect newsletters based on header
if exists "list-unsubscribe" {
expire "day" "14"; # set expiry to 14 days
fileinto "Newsletter"; # Assign "Newsletter" label
}
## Add label based on size
if size :over 8M{
fileinto "8M+";
} elsif size :over 4M{
fileinto "4M+";
} elsif size :over 2M{
fileinto "2M+";
} elsif size :over 1M{
fileinto "1M+";
} elsif size :over 512K{
fileinto "512K+";
} elsif size :over 256K{
fileinto "256K+";
} elsif size :over 128K{
fileinto "128K+";
}
## Add label based on spam score (score of 0 means no score assigned)
if header :matches "X-Pm-Spamscore" "*" { #detect Protonmail spam score in header
if string :value "ge" "${1}" "1" { #if spam score >= 1
fileinto "spam score ${1}"; # assign label with spam score
}
}
That's extremely obnoxious, why?
The opposite. They're closely related compared to the rest of the world, but still come from different families, while living in substantially similar environments, which in many way have "maxed out" advantageous factors (health, stability, stimulation, etc.).

Remember that the heritable component of intelligence is polygenetic; it'd not determined by the presence of a single SNP, and two people could have similar intelligence originated in very different genetic profiles. People who are relatively closely related will have similar profiles that interact with the similar or shared environments in similar ways, meaning that the effect of small genetic differences will be more pronounced. Someone with the same "potential" for IQ, but from a different set of intelligence-related genes, interacting with the same environment might be said to have had the heritable component of their IQ become less efficacious.

For example, nutrition is a component in IQ. Everyone at this school is able to drink milk and benefit from the nutrition value-add. Someone less related to the other students also attends the school; they're lactose-intolerant, but benefit from eating certain fruits native to their homeland. The school doesn't serve such fruits, but it does serve milk. The student subsequently tests at a lower IQ. I would say at this point that variation between the LP students' intelligence is likely to be more related to genetics than is the variation between their IQ and this lone student's, which has a more substantial environmental component.

Instead of pushing such voices underground and hoping they go away (they won't!). As unpalatable as it sounds, I feel having a tech platform where posters cannot hide behind pseudonymous usernames, should instead have their full identity (name/occupation etc.) attached.

This way they are individually accountable (and liable) for their posts.

You seem to know what's going on, do you mind answering a question about the schematic?

If the transistor is a PMOS like the author says, when the output of the NAND goes low wouldn't both the LED and the transistor turn on?

The way the LED is drawn it should turn on when the NAND output is sinking current, right? Maybe the LED is drawn upside down? Or am I misreading/misunderstanding something really simple?
I suspect most people who use this type of tool keep their accounts files in a version control system. (That's what I do)
Being man-made doesn't make identity any less real. As a particular example, there's a big semantic difference in Python between `foo is bar` and `foo == bar`, with the former based on the interpreter's memory allocation and the latter allowing a custom class to decide its own answer. And the former is actually really implementation-dependent, with the following being True in cpython for any integer in the range [-5, 256]:

`a = 257; b = a*1; a is b`
Mueller determined the Russians were interfering in the election, but there was no evidence linking Trump to those efforts.

Given it was the largest such investigation of it's kind in history with hundreds of witnesses, many of them 'flipped' and singing like birds to avoid jail including Trump's own personal lawyer - it seems there was no collusion.

Trump's friends were dirty with Russian money, they were caught lying - and even worse, Trump was apparently trying to obstruct justice.

So it's all very bad, but there was no collusion.

Many Americans believe there was collusion, which is a belief not based on evidence - you can see the massive irony here.

As far as the RNC - if they were involved in the insurrection, then ban them, otherwise I don't think the should be banned as this is going to get out of hand very quickly.

Many citizens and police officers died this summer of protests, even if they had more of a kind of legitimacy, they were still obviously dangerous and destructive, and many people supported the violence directly.

Around the world, there is all sorts of crazy stuff going on, FB is being accused of hosting some genocidal propaganda in SE Asia, it's going to get rough, we need clear thinking and guidelines. I don't trust corporate America to be the world's arbiter of information.
I read awhile back that there was the equivalent of sixteen million pages of evidence. There have of course been the attempts to throw it all out and Holmes has tried to play the victim; she may actually believe she is; in hopes it all lands on her business partner

which leads us to her getting married. part to maintain her lifestyle she was used to during Theranos's time at the top and part to make her more appealing to any jury and doubly so if she can get on stand pregnant. her court appearances that have pictures usually show her without makeup and fancy clothing. So the question then is, sociopath or Psychopath? Probably the former from the assumption of the victimhood

It is the answer to your question* though, along with a practical example of what happens when instead of stopping obvious radicals and extremists you just ask "but how do we reaaally know?".

>> * how would you discern conspiracists from realists that tell it like it is?

If you are willing to take radical action with no evidence, or encourage others to do so you may be called a "conspiracist" and you are definitely a danger to society and democracy. DJT and "Stop The Steal" (whose ban you were objecting to) are today definitely way into the realm of "baseless accusations and incitement to radical actions". And it turns out reality unfolded exactly as predicted. So what was your objection to them being banned? That they were only "telling it like it is"? That it was FB and Twitter deciding? That it's just opinions and won't lead to anything more?

Your comment was in effect a mix of many mostly questions-related fallacies and vague implications but no direct, actual argument. That's no way to carry a useful, productive conversation.

But I will say it again, just not agreeing with someone is not a reason to ban them. Banning should be a protective measure when facing an imminent threat.
Ron Paul authored the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act. He's always been anti war, anti large government, anti militarized police.

Facebook knows regulation is on the horizon. They also know their best bet to stay alive is to kiss up to the new administration and turn the issue into a partisan one. By banning political competitors they're buying themselves four more years of time.
Which group tried to murder members of Congress and fundamentally alter or stop our constitutional process because they were mad they didn’t get they’re way? Who is threatening to have armed rallies to finish the job?

Please, tell me why refusing to follow the constitution or ending the country is on par with a Target being burned down. I’ll wait.
That seems unlikely. Remember that we’re talking about the fringe here - Republican grandparents looking at pictures of their kids and sharing broccoli casserole recipes are not getting kicked off FB or Twitter. Neither are those discussing pickup trucks, beer, blue jeans, Jesus or even guns, to a certain extent. The fringe is much smaller, and serving them profitably is very difficult. It’ll have to be volunteer sites like the N-Chans.

The remaining people on social networks are the centrists. You could argue that the extreme left will also be booted off soon, if not already. Anyone seriously or credibly proposing storming Amazon HQ on socialist / communist grounds will get kicked off as well. Both to preserve the optics of fairness and because they should be.

The only people left are those sharing pictures of their kids and food - and that’s actually fine by me. Political talk will remain, but stay non-violent, which doesn’t sound too bad.
So if I was gonna try to interpret tea leaves, did yields finally increase to where 8 cores on a die was viable or was it just limited to 4 cores before to maximize capacity?

>The question is, can this capitalistic economy function without mass consumption?

Well, it can and that is the fundamental problem. If you are a share holder in a public company you can earn more money from doing nothing productive than from actively doing productive work. The central bank stimulus enters the asset markets first.

It's like having an oil funded authoritarian government. It doesn't have to care about what the rest of the population thinks. It can exist in isolation and benefit from the suffering of it's population because it provides a cheap and desperate workforce.
In aggregate 1000 people starving to death and one Elon Musk are doing "just fine".

Not the "group" you're thinking of. Groups exist along a spectrum of cohesiveness, and a political party and/or political cult centered around one individual, is several orders of magnitude more cohesive than grassroots social movements with loosely affiliated themes, during whose protests some unaffiliated rioters and looters caused the majority of the damage. In effect, you're comparing incidental property damage to a calculated, targeted, and rallied-for/single-leader-inspired insurrection; it's like comparing storm damage to arsonists.

And how do I know it wasn't just random unaffiliated violent individuals causing most of the damage during the insurrection? Because they freaking wore matching hats and chanted Trump slogans...
I cant drag&drop, it's more like drag&hover&waitForTheAnimation&drop.
Making it technically impossible to erase history isn't something any accounting software today does. You could get close to it by publishing data in a blockchain, but nobody does...

So, given that, the requirement must simply be to make erasing history too hard to do accidentally. A simple git commit history would suffice for that. Or just a check when you save the file to see if any lines have been removed.

It doesn't seem necessary anyway though - If everyone keeps a record of every incoming and outgoing transaction, then if I alter a transaction retrospectively, it will no longer match the counterparties records, and my modification will be detected.
Fb, Amazon, Apple and Google ought to keep in mind that the Dems won’t be in control forever. Past history shows that one party controls the presidency for only 1 or 2 terms, the it flips. When the Republicans are back in control, I doubt they will have forgotten the attempted suppression by these tech companies and will be looking for some payback.
I've grown less & less tolerant of logos around me over the years. To the point where I will turn containers around throughout my house so I don't have to look at them.

As a lurker it has been quite the case study to observe - the OI for calls and puts are absolutely insane. Is this normal? What would the option writer be thinking/doing? What would the option owners be thinking?

Allegedly one fund took out a single 50k deep ITM position in a put that could possibly even expire OTM. The tinfoilers believe this was an attempt to deliberately induce selling pressure via these gamma squeeze mechanics you've mentioned.

This world is deep, never would have realised so many layers were going on under just a stock price...
It is a high-profile case. Careers will be made and destroyed on the back of it. The legal team want to get their ducks in a row, because it involves government agencies and wealthy investors who will be asked a lot of inconvenient questions about their role (like "why didn't you act sooner?", "why did you invest in that company?") I think it's a mix of prudence, an overloaded justice system, and the pandemic that slow this down.

> Right, so that's what it takes to get a tech job. And if you can't do that anymore (maybe you're a carer for example), you'll struggle to get a new job.

No that's what it takes to get one of the best paying tech jobs on the planet.
If you lower your criteria there are plenty of other tech jobs that demand less, and compensate less.

Psychopathy is not limited to serial killers. Psychopathy is prevalent in about 1 in 100. If 1/100 people were serial killers, we'd have a big problem on our hands.

In reality, psychopaths blend into society very well. You likely know a few and wouldn't even suspect them unless you know what to look for. They find their way into positions that are highly competitive, where their lack of empathy serves them well. Psychopaths are overrepresented as surgeons, lawyers, bankers, law enforcement (you'll find a lot of psychopaths behind bars, but you'll also find a lot keeping them there), politicians, and yes CEOs.

Honestly, yes? He's never stopped himself from using the term earlier. So why isn't he now (or actually any time it's an extreme right/white nationalist terrorist)? This was clearly terrorism.

> Take another angle. When Trump said, "There will be a peaceful transition to a new administration", some of his supporters imagined that this meant that he isn't leaving the Whitehouse.

Funny example, seeing as that came after the capitol riots, and not say... when he lost the election. Which entirely proves my point.
that's because Facebook is still a very sought-after tech job... I'm in Atlanta and there's tech jobs out the wazoo (Delta, Home Depot, IHG, Turner, etc. etc.) and then there's new tech companies like Calendly, MailChimp, SalesLoft etc. etc. — all of which are easier to score a job AND don't carry the scarlet letter type of branding

This is more akin to you phoning the baker, explaining that you're gay, asking them to write "happy gay wedding" on the cake, the baker agrees, ... the day comes and you call the baker and he's like "you want me to write GAY on your cake?!" and you're without cake.

What salesforce did here is basically collective punishment.
I find it funny that many people are onboard with social media companies banning speech that they dislike. This comes from both the left and right with numerous benign/extreme examples.

Meanwhile the same people supporting social media bans will scream about how traditional news (murdoch as a private example) promote speech that they don't like. Those people will also complain about the speech not allowed/censored from traditional news platforms.

So which is it? Are we talking about the rights of private companies? or are we genuinely talking about free speech? How can you have it one way for social media and another way for traditional news?

I don't think social media or traditional news monopolies should be dictating the voices we hear.
