Trump was a very odd presidential candidate. He basically was super-populist (fund Social Security/Medicare, get rid of immigration), and indeed seemed like he had no firm commitment to the Republican party. I actually hoped that he'd end up governing from the center (especially after the Dems took the house).

But then he got elected, and essentially governed as a standard trickle-down Republican, with a side order of conspiracy theories and showmanship.

Like, it's important to remember that Bernie Sanders was anti-immigration without stronger labour standards, and that many Trump/Sanders voters (in 2016) liked the other candidate more than those in their respective primaries.

The US just needs one set of people who'll actually do good things for the lower half of the populace, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Why do think, then, that there are so many homeless people in the US? They aren’t all mentally ill or drug addicts.
Facebook and newspapers are both private companies and are subject to the same law. They can't do whatever the hell they want. They can't publish slander, for example.

However it seems that limits to free speech are expressed differently for newspapers and Facebook.

I am still thinking about this.

Newspapers always have selected expressions. This is just because it is unfeasible to let everybody express themselves in a newspaper. It is a lot of work to print someone's free speech, so the newspaper has to select. This is not limiting someone's free speech.

And for social media companies the barrier to let someone express themselves is a lot lower. As a society we are still figuring out what this means for free speech.

Five hundred years ago with the print press the balance shifted, too. Monarchs in Germany were ousted. Society learnt to appreciate the freedom of the print press and to draw lines in the sand with slander and libel. We need to find out the rights, obligations and prohibitions concerning social media.

It's a process. It needs time.

I think, a novel concept will be that society's trust in information is a worth needing protection. It's similar to the concept that public health is also something that needs protection. This means: five hundred years ago with printing presses people learnt to extend protection from insults to newspapers. A few hundred years later protection of personal integrity from slander is part of Human Rights.

And now this seems to be repeating with society's trust in information.
they apparently blocked FB and Twitter

No, they hadn't blocked anything yet. It was a proposed feature to begin the 13th.
People meaning what they said is a really defensible position to argue. Trump is pretty proud of the people who vote for him.

Hypothetically speaking, the tension could die down over the next few weeks and the context could become a single violent protest against the background of BLM. The right wing are not known for competently organising sustained protests. There is a future here where unless something surprising happens Twitter gets a lot of egg on their face for, in a panic, ejecting a sitting president for things that are pretty banal when read literally.

Twitter accepting this risk is not something that bodes well for them.

You are using identity yourself all the time. You just mentioned philosophy, this TV series, gold, that ship and that plank, and on close inspection there would probably be a thousand more cases in your last post where you relied on identity.

Identity is one of the most fundamental concepts, without it you would have a hard time splitting the universe into more than one distinct piece in order to reference and talk about them. You can only refer to this TV series because it is an entity with identity, equal to itself and not equal to any other thing in the universe.

And yes, it is a very hard problem, as Theseus illustrates one can not simply define identity using the atoms or some other kind of parts something is made of in the general case to define identity. But that just shows the difficulty of the problem, not that identity is a useless idea.

I am not a philosopher but it seems to me that without a notion of identity or equality you can not have more than one distinct thing. Well, probably someone has spend his entire life thinking about that, so maybe there are alternatives to identity and equality?

A good politician is never blatantly racist, that's political suicide.

Anyway, it's not enough to "not be racist", that's like the default, like "being nice to others" is. What are you when you're not nice? Just "there"? No, you're a prick.

When it comes to racism, if you're not openly against it, you condone it, and you're part of the problem.

Take Trump; in his position, he can take down the extreme right paramilitary organizations, the Proud Boys, the KKK, the conservative churches, etc. But he chooses not to, instead dogwhilstling his approval and support; statements like "stand back and stand by", encouraging the crowds to storm the Capitol, etc etc etc. He knows he'd be booted out hard if he starts to hard-R his way through speeches, but dogwhistles have no consequences, and inaction has no direct consequences.

> 'Because Twitter and Facebook are private companies, their bans on the President do not violate the First Amendment, which protects speech from being limited by the government.'

Actually, Facebook and Twitter, just like Google et al, are the product of intelligence agencies.

Completely changes the meaning of everything that is said or written about these 'companies', when you understand this.

There's a reason China blocks FB, and it has nothing to do with "censorship." Yes, it is really about protecting their citizens from data mining by foreign intelligence agencies.

I think this ISP's action is a good first step, but they don't go far enough. What people really need right now is a new-age Information Service which is not an "internet service provider" at all, or is only such in the loosest sense of the term; a service that gathers up useful data and information from the internet and other sources also, datamining and collating it and presenting in a convenient form for the customer, minus all the ads, Javascript, malware, etc. Sort of like a CompuServe/AOL/DMOZ/BBS renaissance. Limited direct access could be provided to certain whitelisted internet sites, with the vast majority of the cruft excluded.
I guess this takes some knowledge of Polish politics. Polish Justice Minister is the leader of a small party which is in coalition with the ruling party. They are similar in beliefs, but more radical. So every now and then they throw some radical proposal, which never makes it into the law because it's too extreme or against EU laws/Polish consitutions. This law has been proposed every year and nothing really came out of it.

Everything he's tweeted since election day has been inciting violence. In fact since much earlier, since he was trying to delegitimise the election long before it happened.

Adendum: why _must_ they ask themselves that? Do you think Facebook ever has acted in that way? Do you think that Fox News does?

Your brain can store a finite amount of state because it's a finite piece of matter. You are therefore a finite automaton manipulating symbols outside of your brain, e.g. on a piece of paper. That makes you no more powerful than a Turing machine. In fact, since your lifetime is bounded, the amount of paper your can write on is bounded too. You are in thus less powerful than a Turing machine.

The fact that you can recognize some paradoxes means exactly nothing about your computational power. There is a sufficiently large lookup table that contains the correct answers to any question you might be able to read during your lifetime. Evaluating it requires nothing more than a finite automaton.

I'm annoyed with the histrionics. Making arguments from places of moral outrage. Of extreme emotion. Each looking at the other with righteous indignation. Unable to see that what they feel is what the other side is feeling. What is needed at a time like this is for people to step outside of themselves. To understand that they do not know everything, that there is more than one way to think and to live. To be humble. When their amygdala screams that the other is dangerous, that the other is alien and dark and inhuman... To breathe, to understand their own weaknesses and move forward from a place of humility.

>AWS has competitors, big ones. You can probably name two, and Oracle deeply wishes that you’d name three. Even if we just restrict ourselves to “the cloud”, you already have at least three or four options; more options than you have purchasing a cell phone in the US, both in terms of contract or ecosystem.

Yeah, so? This is still disingenuous weasely argument if I ever read one.

Between those 3 (or 4) Cloud infrastructure providers they have a huge chunk of the market.

Even if they did, AWS alone kicking a webpage/app out for non-technical censorship reasons, is enough to cause huge migration and other costs to the app. Enough to obliterate a webpage/app without much runway.

(And if those other big cloud providers would wish to get into the same game, they could successively ban websites/apps they decide, one after another).

AWS shouldn't be involved in such decisions, the same way we ask telcos for net neutrality.

This could be done with the mRNA technology, where you basically "print out" the requested mRNA overnight. Encoding several proteins is possible.

How the organism would react to such a flurry of foreign proteins, that is another question. 175 unknown proteins is a lot, the immune system could be roused beyond safe levels. It is possible to kill a person (or a mouse) by overstimulating its immune system.

Driving on this road before the redesign was very strange -- it was essentially two-lane but without stripes and no explicit bike lane. Since the redesign, the turn lanes, bus stops, and bike lanes are clearly marked and it has lead to a significant decrease in accidents.

Yes, there is a reason: the time of all the authors involved in creating these reports is a scarce resource. Reaching consensus on the final text of one report within the body of authors is already a tedious and lengthy process. Having them go through all that for another, separate text will just keep them from doing more of the research that actually matters.

See, that's been Google's defense in most of these cases; they (claim to) defer EVERYTHING to "the algorithm", a magic, top secret, unknowable and ineffable deity that calls the shots, so that Google themselves can deny culpability when it comes to anti-trust cases like this. They insist HARD on minimizing human intervention in search results and rankings, because if they allow it, they become more liable.
Specifically we guess based on the other hemisphere since flu is mostly a winter illness -- People report "flu" year round, but the deadly Influenza virus is most "flu" in winter, whereas in summer most "flu" was just a bad cold, in medicine the term is ILI (Influenza Like Illness). This gives us several months between the worst of their Influenza cases on the far side of the world and us needing to inject our vulnerable populations with a vaccine.

This means the relatively mild flu load in Australia and especially New Zealand actually hurt this year's Northern Hemisphere guess - they were isolating because of COVID-19 and so they had far fewer than usual cases on which to base guesses.
