I think the difference is that social media acts as a massive amplifier for minority beliefs. In the Civil War, people who lived in the south were already surrounded by other people who lived in the south, so no amplication was needed to fan the flames. But with social media you have these individuals who would normally be surrounded by reasonable people in their social circles, instead being herded together by engagement-optimizing algorithms.

Yes, the determined will always find a way to socialize with only like-minded people, but tech companies don't have to optimize for it. They could sacrifice some ad-revenue by optimizing for diverse thought, not echo chambers. And that would be a hell of a lot more aminable to free speech than picking and choosing what opinions belong on their platforms.

Thats right, corporations have legal person status & protection (kinda odd) like any other American citizen, but you can argue they have more rights than the average american citizen.

Anyway, corporations, for-profit that is, are driven by one tenet & one tenet alone, which is their bottom-line. And they only answer to their ruling shareholders. Customers, employees, their own product, the USA govt, etc are all secondary.

Just to clarify (belatedly), my point was that whether or not it's protected speech doesn't matter when we're discussing Twitter - because Twitter isn't beholden to the 1st Amendment. They are free to block speech even if it is "protected."
Actalis (the italian CA mentioned in the article for S/MIME certs) generates the certificate for you, i.e. they have the private key.

This is of course completely unacceptable. It's insulting, really.

There are no providers of free S/MIME certificate for private consumers with a duration of 1 year or more.

competitor as a technology company and as a platform. amazon just wanted to participate to something "good" so that they look like the good guys... How about them destroying small businesses and coming out of covid as one of the only marketplace on earth that made billions out of people misery and despair? Id rank that way higher than a bunch of conspiracy theorist on a shady and bad twitter-clone.

I wonder if they'd do same when the CCP is hosting stuff on their server such as list of people or software that directly help to put people into jail.

There is a tendency within tech to think there are bad guys and good guys. I see 0 difference between palantir/parler and amazon,fb,google. Or yes there is. the scale of the later is way scarier and way more dangerous for us. aaron schwartz sad death anniversary was 2 days ago and yet we never learn, we don't understand that this is just showing how dangerous those platforms can be for the people.
> I know that in the past 15 years lots of tech-savvy people have opted for Apple products because "they're still UNIX under the hood, and unlike Linux they just work out of the box". But being Unix-like DOES NOT mean to be developer-friendly! Apple is still an opaque developer-unfriendly company even if it provides you with a native bash!

That was true over 10 years ago (was certainly a big factor for me), but i'm not so sure it is for most people anymore. I remember back when I bought macs (more than 11 years ago now) they used to proudly advertise their "UNIX" certification and tout the BSD/Mach origins, I think this is when most of the original OS team was still there.

But today it seems to be one of the most neglected aspects of the system. Each time one of my colleagues with a mac tries to run one of my considerate bsd/gnu friendly scripts I discover most of their userland has not actually been updated in 10 years. I end up getting them to install brew and replacing every binary used in the script... and yet bizarrely things like ZSH suddenly pop up as the new default shell.
Maybe they are glorifying the scientist who did the experiment on themselves, knowing the risks?

It isn't heroics. It's desperation.

There are ways to self experiment that make some sense and there are a lot of ways to self experiment that are a good way to get harmed with little hope of upside and describing people who get badly messed up this way as "heroes" is probably a good way to increase the odds of more people getting badly messed up.

I wish there was more support for reasonable self experimentation as an alternative to "You are so completely and thoroughly fucked and no one will help you" but I really don't want to see something like this glorified as heroics because that will tend to get a lot of pushback against more reasonable methods of self experimentation and make it harder to find a constructive path forward.

Context matters.

Censorship by a state would include reading mail/e-mail, controlling what is said on social media, controlling what is published in newspapers, what is broadcast on television or radio.

That's problematic. And that's clear censorship.

What you describe is far more murky territory.

If I build a public database which curates newspapers in my local region and I decide to not include a particular outlet, am I engaging in censorship? Not really. As a private actor, it's my prerogative to curate by my own standards. Moreover, one can always go to the library and find that journal in their holdings.

The same principle is true at the scale of search engines. These aren't public institutions. These are private enterprises. They are free to curate content in their own particular fashion. And if one doesn't include your website, well, others might and will.

The issue here isn't that Google doesn't show the website in the search results.

The issue is that Google dominates the search market, and has locked the attention the usage and the vast majority of people using the Web/Internet.

That's a different issue which has less to do with censorship, and everything with being able to establish and hold a monopoly in a particular yet massively important market - information dissemination and communications - for almost 2 decades.

Ask yourself this: Would you or the author of that tweet have made the same loud objection if a website didn't appear in DuckDuckGo?
Pretty sure he gives zero fucks about this considering the juiciness of his golden parachute.

Why should google link out to a site known to help organize a violent march against democratic processes? Yes Google censors search results, this is nothing new. The only issue you seem to have is that this time instead of it being some ISIS people getting hit its some larping Nazis that performed an actual attack.

Google can choose what is served from their index, end of story. Anyone saying otherwise is tyrannical. If you don't like the results you are getting use something else.
When armed militias set up an "autonomous zone" in Seattle did Airbnb work to identify participants and ban them from the platform?

This is a weird year. The Trump-supporters who attacked the capitol are completely indefensible and should obviously be arrested and incarcerated, but all of these extrajudicial actions from companies which are extremely hypocritical compared to their response to antifa makes me uncomfortable.

All I see is bad responses to bad people doing bad things leading to more bad people doing more bad things in response to the responses. I guess I'll hope things get less "us vs them" in a few months.

1. Facebook itself runs on PHP

2. Wordpress runs on PHP, as do Magento and others. They power 35% of ALL websites.

3. If you look, you’ll see that PHP is still the most widely deployed environment on commodity hosts, and the whole point is to create a free market of hosts. They kick you off one, or prices get too high? Set up your backups on another. The software and data is yours.

4) It’s a social operating system for the web. Here is why that matters: https://qbix.com/QBUX/whitepaper.html#Distributed-Operating-...

5. Why did people need The Web when America Online, CompuServe, Prodigy and MSN existed? Same answer. They like to own their own brand, data and followers and not pay rents and be kicked off.

6. Google and Amazon could have never started on top of AOL. The permissionless nature of the web unlesshed trillions in innovative business models like E-Commerce and SAAS. You think a feudal society with AOL and MSN would have led to that?

7. Governments control and spy on these large social networks. People expect them to be everything to everyone, and have all the responsibility. Even EFF said that’s ludicrous because they are TOO BIG: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/eff-sues-invalidate-fo...

> If you want to further reduce latency with parallelism, you need TBB, the Intel thread building blocks.

That's not how latency works and there is nothing too special about Intel's TBB library. It is a big bloated group of libraries that doesn't actually contain anything irreplaceable. Don't be fooled by marketing or people that haven't looked under the hood. It should also work on amd cpus.

> Raytracing? Intel embree.

Embree is a cool convenience, but also doesn't marry anyone to intel cpus.
I'm very skeptical that increases in agricultural productivity and political stability, two leading preventers of famine, were a direct result of a single book. The Population Bomb was controversial and had many detractors at the time. It seems much more likely that he was simply wrong in his predictions (which he insists were simply possible scenarios). Otherwise, you'd have much more evidence of the book being cited in public policy and industrial investment strategies.
It's a very productive ecosystem. It doesn't have the same level of enterprise factory wartiness that Java does; its Windows IDE is extremely integrated; it lets you write functional-ish code in an imperative environment; and it has LINQ, which is fantastic.

Having cut my teeth on C++ and being reasonably familiar with Python, I'll choose C# for anything larger than a script that doesn't need direct memory layout control.

I agree with your last sentence. If that's what actually happened, the situation is completely different and the general debate is really missing an important point.
Microsoft broke a lot in the past few years when they got rid of their dedicated QA department(s) but they are very keen of fixing backwards compatibility issues. I can still run my desktop application that I compiled in 1998. Try that on a Mac.

Yes! 100% agree.
I also am extremely frustrated by the inability to export and backup chats. In combination with mobile/desktop sync problems, it means that I have lots of personal memories on one device, with no way to get them off and protect them.

There was no warning when I first installed Signal that the usual phone backup mechanism (via iTunes, in my case) would not backup this data, or that mobile/desktop syncing problems might mean that hundreds of messages just don't get synced to my other devices, and that this is expected behavior.

So I'm angry, and I can't recommend Signal to others for this reason. And the devs just don't seem to care.

I appreciate that it's an open-source project, and the developers have no obligation to develop new features. But this isn't really a feature request; certain sharp edges in a product are actively destructive if you don't warn the user about them. It's like someone handing out free food which turns out to be poisonous, and then saying, "What are you all complaining about? The food is free!"

If any Signal developer sees this, I would personally be happy to have a discussion about compensating you for your time to fix this problem for the community. My email address is in my profile.

I don't think the writing is on the wall at all here. I think the company over shot a little, by trying to be a general-purpose enterprise platform instead of a tool (or suite of tools).

But from what I know the core business and the team are still really strong. They're just more of a Slack and less of a Microsoft, and probably have to adjust for that realization.

That's how it works in the Scottish NHS. National stool screening program every two years after you turn 50 (you get mailed a sample tube and send it back to the test centre). If it's a positive, you're called in for a colonoscopy. *But* if you show suspicious symptoms outside of the screening program you get a colonoscopy anyway.

(Source: am at very high risk of hereditary colon cancer, had a colonoscopy when my GP learned of the family history, then screening thereafter. All clear so far ...)
While this might be a good idea for this particular scenario, I don’t like the trend it sets if we continue toward monolithic tech companies replacing established, power-distributed industries. Airbnb is now worth more than the three largest hotel chains, so they are a dominant market player. When they lead, others will follow.

Sorry, you can’t get an Uber to that location because it is the site of a taxi driver protest against ride sharing.

Pat Gelsinger fits the second option better, he has an actual engineering background and worked on some of the most important Intel products early in his career.
Even in the 'best' of times, YT's banning and strikes system is pretty awful. It'll ban channels for playing random static noise in the background while letting children see some very adult content. And that's considered 'normal' for YT. HN is filled with such stories and data. Honestly, at the scale YT operates, I'd imagine it should be worse that it already is.

Obviously, YT's ban on Donny is not random or capricious, it's very intentional.

But the larger issue remains that YT is a bad host to begin with and has been for nearly a decade. Maybe the larger YT community, including advertisers, needs a better choice than what it currently uses. Or a better legal framework in which to operate as YT.
I don't think its very fair to claim people who don't think the content is any good 'just dont understand it'.

Plus the conversation is about under 16s, I highly doubt what they're seeing is the same as you, so it's not really relevant what your feed is like.
The underlying idea here is that people can't be trusted to consume any information and must be shepherded towards more specific content.

This is what bothers me with much of the discussion surrounding Parler or any attempt to "subvert democracy". It ironically exposes the fact that most people are more interested in technocracy but label it as democracy and don't even see the irony.

I think there are two components of school life: socializing and education. While remote socializing is hard to imagine, I don't believe you can beat high quality videos on youtube (like 3blue1brown) to understand most of the concepts. You also have to keep in mind that level of education in most of the countries in the world is quite low.

Huh. So, what if we revisit this concept with the actual balance of ethnic power in the United States, as revealed by actual income and status statistics, rather than the WASP bogeyman that may have been true in 1963?

Is it no longer possible to be racist toward Brahmin Indian immigrants, second generation children of Chinese and Korean immigrants, Jewish people, and the broadly English/Nord stock that comprise the vast bulk of the Mormons?

OK, let's assume you're not interested in "nudging" the poster. (I don't think downvote is a nudge, because that requires an explanation or direction, but put that aside.)

"The other case where I might downvote and not respond is when it's a tired debate (usually political, often over diversity/equality related topics) and the comment is arguing with common talking points that use incorrect facts or is arguing with common bad faith talking points."

Well, consider that these common bad faith talking points are repeated because nobody bothers to rebut them properly. If other people (not the OP) see these, they might think of them as valid arguments. If you respond to them, you are also explaining to others, why they are not valid. It is a lot more helpful (you can actually convince someone) than just downvoting. And if your counter-argument is really good, it might be picked up by people on your side, too.

I think you forgot to finish your thought:

- The site is hosted on Yandex

- Yandex is owned by the FSB

- Therefore, visiting the site is unsafe because..? The FSB will embed an exploit in it in attempts to hack you? Because you will divulge private information(beyond playing the game) to the FSB? It's unclear what the threat you are trying to combat is.

This is besides the point(I am ready to believe for the sake of argument that Yandex is indeed owned by the FSB), but the wikipedia page you linked doesn't seem to support your argument. It seems like Yandex is trying to thread the needle between legal law enforcement requests and the safety and privacy of their users. Here's the full quote you ellipsed:

> In June 2019, RBC News reported that Yandex had refused a request by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) under the Yarovaya law to surrender encryption keys that could decrypt the private data of its e-mail service and cloud storage users. The company argued that it was possible to comply with the relevant law without compromising its users' privacy.[82] Maxim Akimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, said that the government will take action to relieve FSB pressure on the company.[83] Alexander Zharov, head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, subsequently said that Yandex and the FSB had reached an agreement where the company would provide the required data without handing over the encryption keys.[84]
