My guess is that the conversation with Parler's law firm went something like this.

Parler CEO: "AWS terminated our services. I want you to sue them for violation of antitrust laws!"

Established Lawyer or Firm: "AWS had rights to terminate this contract for $reasons and their contract specifies binding arbitration. You have no case and if you pursue this we decline to represent you."

Parler CEO: "You're canceling us! I'll find another firm!"

You can always find a single proprietorship to file anything but a respectable firm or lawyer will decline cases like this.
I don't doubt that it could be used as a hint among other points, but doesn't that approach scream "tyranny of the mob"? How often in the past has a minority view been objectively right and a majority view been wrong? For example, Galileo was accused of heresy due to his belief that the Earth revolved around the sun. The "maybe that someone is the problem" view would say Galileo was the problem.
It perfectly valid for you to dismiss my account as anecdotal because admittedly that's all it is.

But man, wow. I joined Parler several months ago and that's literally all my default feed was -- various flavors of right wing rage. Not all was violent or racist. Some were verified celebrities and right wing politicians; those tended to be rather mild.

But typing various slurs or words like "shoot" or "hang" into the search box returned some eye-watering results.

The difference between it and Twitter was not subtle.

I'm glad to see TeamSpeak is still out there. I totally dropped it as soon as Discord became popular, not because I didn't like it - but literally everyone moved over, I didn't want to be left behind.

Totally can see how some folks out here value their data a lot more and want to keep things private! That's where TeamSpeak will always thrive!

Here's a little bit of a story-time anecdote: Back when I was in school, we used TeamSpeak to talk after hours, it was like the equivalent of people double (or 1.5x) my age spending hours and hours on the phone and their parents yelling "GET OFF THE PHONE".
It was a win win situation because with ADSL (3mbps lol) I could be connected all day and not hog the phone line, additionally the in-built chat to whisper things was good enough that we could exchange links for funny images/flash games etc.

The voice quality was never bad, it took a little server configuration to get it just right, and the ability to record your voice and the conversation made for some hilarious clips compilation throughout the years, sometimes we still share some of those clips to remember what it was like to have a squeaky teenage voice.

I spent thousands of hours on TeamSpeak and also tried Ventrilo/Mumble - but I was defo a team TeamSpeak kid...Also I really liked the fact that TeamSpeak had a public servers list that we could just join when someone forgot to pay the bill for our own server. Yep we rotated...so it wouldn't be the burden of 1 person paying for everyone!

Speaking of paying the bill, it was always just a couple of dollars PayPal'd over to someone who had a larger servers, basically sub-renting a whole room and subrooms...made us feel like adults paying our own bills :)

Thanks for allowing me to drive down memory lane!

Our political representatives are corrupt and generally represent whomever gives them the most money, namely large corporations.

We, the people, are represented through our wallets now by the corporations that control our politicians because social media has unionized us. We're able to use online platforms to leverage companies into giving us what we want socially by threatening them when they step out of line. The companies that led to Parler shutting down were acting on public sentiment as a boon to their brands, thus ultimately reflecting the will of the people.

It's kind of like a single payer system for social justice.

It's weird end run back to representation but I'll take it for now. The radical right is a scourge that, unchecked, will lead to us having no rights at all. They need to be repeatedly smacked down until normalcy is achieved.
> if a business owner refuses service to people based on political opinions or similar they are in for a world of hurt

That surprises me. "Political opinion" is not a protected class [1] in most jurisdictions in the US, and I assume that the same holds for whatever the local equivalent is to protected class. Especially considering that a lot of European countries also have laws that prohibit Holocaust denial--which are unconstitutional in the US per the 1st Amendment.

[1] Protected class, in US discrimination law jargon, is an attribute that you cannot legally use to discriminate against. The usual protected classes are sex, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity, although there is some variation from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (e.g., military service is protected in my state).
I would not join, we’re I a Google employee. It is fine, IMO, to work on projects for my employer and privately, outside of work, to apply efforts to lessen and eventually remove the need for such work. But those efforts are my own business and not the business of any other person at the company. If the conflict of interest becomes too great, then I feel the company is within their right to reassign or terminate, or more likely, for me to remove myself from the conflict.

But, I also have a strong tendency and desire to leave my politics at home. I’m also careful to choose who I work for.
>>It took commercial vendors nearly a decade to build 5G and the only reason they were so "fast" was because they had already experienced engineers on their payroll who understood the basics of 3G/4G.

100% agree. Also, many of the large domain players (Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia, ZTE) actively participated in the 3GPP standards process to ensure they were kept abreast of what was being proposed. This is a pretty steep hill to climb for the US to build out a competitive domestic solution.
I enabled Handshake in the NextDNS settings and it resolves fine for me.
Yeah. Maybe they get used to the majority of patients who don't want to read things, and systems even reflect that. I watch the displayed fine print just in case it actually says something, but maybe I should ask more questions.

Once when at a nearby hospital to just get a blood sample drawn, the documents to sign including those by reference were ~11 pages. Fortunately they weren't busy, & I tried to apologize for taking so long & explained I felt it was a matter of honesty to know what I was agreeing to, and they printed things for me and let me cross some of it out. But I found that another nearby hospital system (a regional nonprofit w/ good reputation) had a 2-page agreement, and I go there now even though it is slightly farther for us. (It unfortunately seems like on medical stuff, it helps to get as much as possible covered before the visit, also for financial questions, making sure everyone is in-network etc etc, so I am now trying to remember to ask for everything in advance sometimes.)
Wait till this guy figures out civilization is the ponzi scheme and there is no rationalization left for his ego to defend itself.
Thank goodness for the transition away from the terrible 16:9 screens that have plagued almost every single PC laptop for years. These are all 16:10 with a few screen options (at least for the X1C9):

- 14" UHD+ (3840 x 2400) IPS, low-power, HDR400 with Dolby Vision™ DCI P3 100%, 500 nits, TÜV Rheinland-certified for reduced blue light emissions

- 14" FHD+* (1920 x 1200) IPS, anti-glare, low-power, 400 nits, Low-power, TÜV Rheinland-certified for reduced blue light emissions

- 14" FHD+* (1920 x 1200) IPS, anti-glare, touchscreen, 400 nits, TÜV Rheinland-certified for reduced blue light emissions

- 14" FHD+* (1920 x 1200) IPS, anti-glare, touchscreen, PrivacyGuard, 500 nits

Also nice that the HiDPI version is low-power. Interesting that the smaller x1 nano is also using the 16:10 screen, what a relief to have this across the range.
I don't need to know what the natural rate would be to know that the current rate is artificially low.

Central banks drive down the rates by buying government debt that would otherwise have to be sold to the rest of the market.

They're therefore adding a massive amount of demand for the debt, thereby pushing up the price (and reducing the interest).
It might.

I think you should do whatever maximizes your chances to work with as many people as possible.

A 50% pay cut sounds big, so you should also look into whether having that extra money gives you more free time. Get involved with projects in your community. Get involved with Meetup groups. Go to hackathons and join teams. Get involved in open source projects. It doesn't really matter what the projects are (as long as you find them interesting and marginally worthwhile of course), what matters is you are getting practice working with a lot of different people and building your network of people you've worked with. In order to find 10 great people you love working with, you need to work with hundreds.

If you'd work with >5x as many people at the new job, then it's probably worth the pay cut.
Yes, but it also super compact, draws very little power and it has multiple network interfaces. It's also fanless, which makes it ideal for long running set-up-and-forget scenarios that home routers typically are.
Whether or not it is a facade is inconsequential, and not necessary for my point. Whether or not the performer on stage is a magician or an illusionist, the trick is of a caliber that defies our explanations and theories. Either way, it is enormously important for us to get backstage to see how it (it as in subjectivity) is done.
Lovely. Because aviation, especially general aviation, isn't expensive enough already.
All PTA tools have in common that they model accounting as a programming language, as opposed to data. This provides for a high degree of epressiveness and flexibility which is hard to achieve with database accounting tools that are typically data-oriented.

The basic instructions are open account, close account, and update account (transaction). In addition, a lot of PTA tools support some form of higher-order directives: directives that generate other directives.

For example, the availability of prices might trigger the insertion of valuation transactions based on the change of value for a balance position, when processing the balance.

Or declarative accrual transactions for a given date might insert "virtual" transactions at specific other dates.

The PTA / language-centric view allows to reason about those very easily, as abstractions which result in AST rewrites.
I recently moved my gf from iOS to Android and searched all over the internet to see how I can move the WhatsApp database from iOS to whatsapp on Android!! You'd think whatsapp would let you do that!
Long story short , there might be a way of doing that if you install an older version of it.
I failed to transfer the data.
But you can back it up as plain text using "share conversation" feature and then uploading or emailing it.
In my experience (USA), most banks will give you the option of downloading a CSV for the last two years of transactions. Beyond that, it’s a challenge.

Some investment brokers will only give you PDFs with tables in them. But there are some pretty amazing libraries for converting these into CSVs, that have worked well for me.

Some people use plaid, but I didn’t like the idea of introducing a middleman-dependency.

What I’ve been doing over time is downloading all of the raw transaction history I can get, and storing it in a git repo. Each month when I “top it off”, I just use git add -p to add only the latest bits. The most annoying part is when they change their CSV format on you (Chase did this recently) and you need to reformat all of your historical data to match.
Can you provide sources for your claims?

Per Qt [1] the only major difference is that open source users only get patch updates for a specific version till the next minor update is out. Only commercial users keep getting patch updates to older minor versions.

No where can I find mention of a year delay.

So whats the point having a Foss setup? Its not for promoting clients and servers? Why dont they instead say its source visible, peope can point put vulnerabilities and all because thats what it is at the end of day today.

Pretending to be Foss and then not allowing third party clients, servers is not nice imo

Apart from being legal, we even have a special field on our income declaration form (which we fill every year) that is specifically for money earned through ways like that. If I recalled correctly it's under "Income received abroad
-> Salary and other remuneration".

I also run a donation based site (which also has ads) and I declare both of these on the form and pay my share of taxes from it. But it is then fully legal money and I can do whatever I like with it from government perspective.

I don't speak any Finnish at all, but if the wording is so important, wouldn't it work if you ask the money to pay for the services cost instead? Not as a donation to yourself. Servers cost, your time costs etc. Could all be counted as an upkeep of the project.

Right. By "I am not worried that X", I didn't mean that X is the case, yet I am not worried about it. I meant that I am not concerned that X could occur.
CHAZ was radically smaller in scale and scope. It was a far, far cry from violently storming the nation's capital. I'm not condoning it, but it was never an existential threat to our democracy.

I can remember very well calls for violence in twitter against Nick Sandemann. And I remember very well those calls for violence not being removed at all.

Also, during the riots of 2020, it was extremely common to find calls to violence in twitter that weren't deleted.
I mean clearly the blink tag had to go. It was annoying, unsafe, a blight on the web; not at all like CSS3, JavaScript, WebAssembly and whatever that DRM thing was called, encrypted media extensions, was it? Priorities, man!

Thanks for coming out, the X Windows Chapter was my favorite in the book. :)
i imagine twitter has more in absolute terms, just due to the relative size of the two sites. I think the major difference is worse than just refusing to remove it, Parler advertised itself as the place where you can say things that most sites would moderate away, it actively encouraged it, so as a percentage it was much larger

It's important to understand the historical context. Aaron was arrested in 2011, when a lot of other internet politics was happening. Occupy Wall Street, Arab Spring, LulzSec (remember Fuck FBI Friday?), Wikileaks, SOPA. "The block was hot" so to speak.

The attitude in DC was, "those people on the internet think they can do whatever they want, we'll show them." Well, they showed us and we lost a truly inspiring person.
I don't know what you're talking about. What "payback" would they hope for? What's my side? No terrorist insurrection and madness against me and my loved ones? Quite difficult to see that play out.
"In fact, Twitter’s abuse policy is so flaky that the platform couldn’t seem to decide if my tweets broke the rules or not.

Now the tweet is deleted but he is not banned.
Definitely, not arguing about that. Although my iMac Pro begs to differ -- I hear its fans only if it maxes out all cores for more than 20-30 seconds. Otherwise not at all. But it's an exception (and that machine is quite the marvel of engineering, too, minus the flimsy VESA mounting stuff where it's an absolute catastrophe).

I have no qualms with my Win10 gaming PC being slightly audible (I use FractalDesign case with Noctua fans to it's not easy to actually hear it). I have no trouble with a machine spinning its fans here and there.

But for my former work Lenovo T490 killed all my desire to work. Sometimes it even started making noise (again for a full minute) after I saved a file in Emacs (so the language server kicked in for 2-3 secs).

From here on I'll just be only on desktop machines and will soon buy a Linux desktop workstation plus a MacBook Pro M1 with which I'll only do work outside when I absolutely positively can't do it at home. And use it for remoting to my machines as well, of course.

How are goods valued when it’s transferred across borders within the same organization? Parts from France to be assembled in Alabama aren’t necessarily “sold” so don’t need a value. How are tariffs calculated then?
The legality of stuff is something the is judged in a court of law against the laws emitted by the representatives of the people.

From this things get complicated. Some stuff is obviously illegal and people know it. And other stuff some people agree with and others don't.

What do you think happens when a public corporation takes the role of a judge and sides with either party? Where is the legality of this?

Since you mention children. WTF is going on in USA with the gender changes on children? This should be considered child abuse and parents should be stripped from their rights. Or is this not on par with child pornography?

> the notion that the government should be allowed to force at gunpoint a private entity to amplify speech that such entity disagrees with doesn't strike me as particularly democratic.

"Private entity" is a very broad category that encompasses everything from individual citizens/entrepreneurs to trillion-dollar multinational corporations with armies of shareholders, lobbyists, and lawyers.

I think there are plenty of scenarios where the law should discriminate between the latter and the former, and this is one of them.
Many of these are still allowed on Twitter, so I’m not sure what your argument is.

And I’m saying they “could”. They might decide not to.

Although I don’t think anyone could have foreseen level of censorship we have now, even 5 years ago, so who knows what it will look like in 2025.

And I think if you ask the average HN reader he wouldn’t be opposed to blocking websites for political reasons.

I think the argument is that the fact these services represent a monopoly that means they shouldn't have absolute power on who gets to use their platform.
> The market decided they wanted nothing to do with it.

I don't think this means what you think it means, because it doesn't appear true.

The market usually means 'the free market' i.e. raw consumer demand - 'are people buying it?', 'vote with your wallet' e.t.c., By all accounts it looked like the market did want it - because they had a rapidly growing user base. Left to the free market, Parler would have continued.

The market does not mean the CEO's of other tech companies want nothing to do with it. It also does not mean that popular opinion is that it's bad.

Would she have told a white man that she was going to "call the cops and tell them a white man was threatening her"?. The prevailing opinion of the situation seems to be that she wouldn't have. IIRC this was also steeped in the context of a number of other videos where people had been explicitly mentioning a black person's race for "help" in contrived/unthreatening situations that they had often started.
