This is not my area of expertise so I could be 100% wrong, but the idea is basically you have to do what you've advertised to your shareholder that you're doing so growth is valued in a C corp over everything else because that's what the shareholders want and expect. If you want your company to value something over money you could establish a non-profit or a B corp and that's equally acceptable, but you can't just decide one day that growth isn't the primary goal of a C corp because then you've misled your shareholders. The same way if you established a non-profit or B corp with a specific social purpose and then decided to prioritize growth over accomplishing that social purpose, that would be misleading your donors/shareholders

there is no reason to reduce tariffs in the immediate future and tariffs are typically a long term function for them to work. the true winners of this is embraer, Bombardier, and a few others.

I used to oversee elections in the Third World and Nov 3, 2020 was the most fraudulent election in recorded history in my humble opinion. You are of course welcome to deny the overwhelming evidence of this but it won't make any difference to what happens in a few days time.
Unfortunately Lenovo reduced key travel in this generation yet again (to 1.35 mm).
> 139 Representatives and 8 senators voted to overturn the will of the people after rioters had gone home. Most, I assume, know full well that there's no credible evidence the election was fraudulent, but their fear of a primary challenge outweighs their oath to defend the constitution.

This is a very common meme that I think we should combat. In the absence of evidence that these elected officials believe something contrary to their actions, we should instead assume that their actions actually do follow their beliefs.
> Do banks have anything you can use to automate getting data off their websites?

There's an Open Financial Exchange (OFX) standard that's supposed to be for this, I think. I came across it when someone mentioned the ledger-autosync [1] tool that tries to use it to get your data from your bank automatically. If I understand correctly (no guarantee on that), this automation would work for institutions listed here [2].

There isn’t really anything related to free speech here. No one censored parler, let alone the government. Amazon and Apple didn’t even censor them, just refused to support their product because they failed to live up to the terms of service.

The only element of free speech ironically was that Parler was found to censor left-leaning and moderate messages in its forum.
Parler absolutely moderated content - many went on and posted something left leaning and had their content quickly removed. It was moderated by ideology instead of by any attempt at "decency" though.
>Open protocols, or non profit open source projects will never compete with true entrepreneurship and hardcore entrepreneurs creating products. They just can't move as quickly, or deliver good enough products.

The best products don't win (Windows's monopoly is proof of that, Linux not being based on Plan 9 is another), and then you have the game theoretic threat (lock-in, insecurity, existential jeopardy) of proprietary products thrown in to boot. Those are usually more important for fundamental, backbone kind of things though (OSes, browsers, servers, crypto, etc. -- as opposed to your music player or a game).

I haven’t seen groups in the games I play use Teamspeak or Ventrilo in probably 5-10 years. There was a push to Mumble a few years back and it seems like as soon as Discord hit the market it just took over.

Do certain games still lean towards these? Perhaps older MMOs? I’m curious to hear which games are using it.

A hacker named donk_enby made a back up that will soon be available for researchers to answer just this question. We will be able to look at this data set and see if Parler incites more violence both in absolute numbers and in percentage terms. My best guess is that twitter/has has more calls to violence in absolute terms because it is several times larger and has been around for several years. They have a large moderation team but they're not as responsive in all languages. In percentage terms, that can't be answered yet without looking at the data.

If you have the current iPhone and the new iPhone close by, you can transfer all conversations from the old one to the new one through a direct transfer mechanism built into Signal.

But if you don’t have both devices close by or if you’re setting up your iPhone as new due to some issues and the restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup, then you’re out of luck because Signal prevents its data from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes.
Right. So a somewhat rough analysis would be: sample a range of "average" tweets on both platform and somehow aggregate an average "hate" value.

What I'm getting at is, I understand Parler is generally a right-leaning platform, and therefore the types of "hate" will be right-leaning. Twitter is a generally left-leaning platform, so I would expect their type of hate to be generally left-leaning. So I think a tweet about storming the capitol isn't good evidence that Twitter is better. Because, for exmaple, perhaps a violent Antifa tweet would be left alone on Twitter but moderated in Parler. Perhaps some ML bot can quantity sentiment of tweets.

> I definitely haven't heard a good pro-censoring argument

First of all, I think there might be 2 sides to this. I'm not sure which you are referring to. 1) whether a centralized platform is allowed to moderate/censor. 2) whether a centralized platform must moderate/censor.

The best argument I have in favor of 1 is that the owner of the servers gets final say on what they host. It's their systems, after all. Most times it's not like members of these platforms pay to have their posts hosted, so the platform owner doesn't owe them anything.

I'm not in favor of 2 (with the exception of content that's explicitly illegal, e.g. pirated content, of course).

The “cult” (if you insist) was once much smaller, so something must be driving this phenomenon, which means there is hope that we can stop or even reverse it. What makes people go from believing the media, science, etc to unwarranted skepticism? Specifically, what changed in the last couple of decades that might’ve yielded this result? My pet theory is that our institutions increasingly pivoted from truth-seeking to left-wing activism, so the right lost considerable incentive to play the game, and indeed some of the right is breaking away and finding their own institutions (and less savory than those that we’ve built up over decades and centuries).
It appears you've linked to a comment about the lack of a way to backup signal messages on iOS. That is separate(ish) from the importing of messages from WhatsApp.

So, no, they're not interested in WhatsApp import (per the closed ticket liked by the parent).

Additionally, the statement from signal is just PR spew. It boils down to "Nah, we won't make a way to do that.". The "privacy preserving" bit is nonsense because they have an export/import to a file on android.
To elaborate on your point here, gun store owners choosing not to sell firearms to particular customers because they suspect those customers are a danger to themselves or others for any reason (including just the owners' hunch) is very commonplace, and not generally controversial.
My back yard has about 7-8 banana trees and I get fruit from 1 of them every year. I dont know enough about them to know what variety they are, but this year I got 20 6-8" long 3" diameter (yes, they are stubby and fat) bananas that once ripe were among the tastiest and sweetest Ive ever eaten. My goal now is to see if I can start encouraging the plants to make more next year...

Edit: most likely they’re Orinoco bananas

> But that's just it, isn't it? Parler tried to make a new service that plays by a new set of rules. And they were crushed, because it turns out that you actually can't have your own rules unless you are already at the scale of Apple, AWS, etc.

That's not at all true. If I recall the same thing happened to 8chan/8kun. Yet somehow they live on. If Parler has a market, they'll find a way.

That said, it sucks but, well, that's capitalism for ya.

What else would you suggest? Regulating these various companies such that the government gets to decide who can use their services?

Because if so, a) that would require new laws, b) it'd probably fall afoul of the first amendment, and c) it doesn't seem to align well with free market conservative ideology, and so should be opposed by the very users of Parler that are being affected by this.
> Could you imagine the telephone company shutting off someone's phone service over something they said or who they associated with? Unthinkable.

Actually, yes, in most parts of the world the telephone company was under no obligation to provide service to anyone who wanted it and there were laws about what you could say or do over the telephone.
The most powerful passports for 2021
I agree that corporations should be curtailed in both their size and power. This would resolve the paradox of speech being free, but it's platforms being controlled by a few large organizations. However, to say that free speech is absolute is absurd, because absolute free speech in this context would require the limitation of rights of organizations and owners too.
That's a fair point. As a self dubbed 'free-speech' platform I'd assume they'd shy away from the excessive moderation seen on Facebook.
People seem not to realize that every action spawns a reaction by the other side, especially extreme ones. All this censoring will almost undoubtably cause some people on the other side to double down, unfortunately. :/

> It's also very susceptible to a fungal blight, the Panama disease

Cavendish having good resistance to Panama disease is why it replaced Gros Michel, which was devastated by Panama disease. I think the current threat to Cavendish is black sigatoka, a different fungal blight.

EDIT: as pointed out down thread, there's a newer mutation of Panama disease threatening Cavendish. So the parallel to Gros Michel is closer than I remembered, and parent is correct.
> Many people spend upwards of years before going to trial.

Slight hijack, but this is a key reason behind the movement to abolish cash bail. The thrust of the argument is essentially that people with more financial resources can pay bail. Those without those resources cannot, so the pre-trial period is often a de facto prison sentence whose length is unknown in advance. This setup obviously results in a tiered justice system.

There are ~500k people in jail who are innocent under the law. The elimination of cash bail is intended to eliminate this disparity.

I think that "responsible news" and "responsible government" are two things that are achieved by societies by pure luck and cannot simply be willed into existence. Given what's happened in the US with the emergence of the alt right I've been wracking my brain over ways we could safely accomplish free expression of ideas and I don't think it's possible.

Either you allow for hate speech to be empowered and gain a megaphone or someone needs to be the decider on what is false. You don't actually need to kill off misinformed reporting or slanted reporting - you just need to censor reporting that is knowingly false and presenting non-facts as if they are facts - if you can kill that sort of information dead then I think society is able to sort out and prevent bubbles from forming around publications that choose to focus on certain stories - or that consistently frame stories to suit their agenda.

I think that the stars aligned from about 95-2010 where all the news outlets were still afraid enough of the government that they mostly kept in line but the government didn't really have the resources to actually police things.

People rioting under the guise of "antifa" killed innocent people in Portland. They even bombed a court house. There's videos of "antifa" who tried to molotov police but accidentally self-immolated instead. It's a meme that the media will call these "peaceful protests".

As someone who has no dog in the race, and hates violence -- is this "fake news"?? Do these rabid maga idiots actually have a point?

If these protests were organized using FB or Twitter then why aren't they also removed from the app stores?

FB profited from radicalizing people using "engagement metrics" and machine learning at a massive scale just to sell ads. Now they want to wash their hands clean?

These billionaires weren't democratically elected and they shouldn't be shaping our democracy.
If a site did nothing but post links to copyrighted/ pirated songs, it would get banned. We know this because we've seen it happen over and over.

If a site posted links to houses where people were on vacation and discussed best ways to break into them. It would get banned. Nobody would complain.

Why is it that a site which is essentially built to allow people to discuss violent crimes against people is supposed to be tolerated? We should tolerate it because it's discussing violent crimes against politicians? I don't even think it's limited to that regardless.

Parler was created so people could discuss things which were banned on other sites for being too violent and had too much hate speech. It's unofficial charter is based on supporting criminal activities.

I don't understand why people are acting like this is free speech when so many similar crime-based sites are not tolerated.

I have a commercial box which connects an analog phone to a Bluetooth connection. It even generates ring voltage. (88 volts, 20hz). In this video of our old steampunk telegraph office, the phone in the foreground is fully functional. It's tied to a cell phone and can be used to make and receive calls. It's not really an antique phone, though; it's a 1970s reproduction. Strangely, it came with the connector for Japanese phones, and I had to find the mating connector for that.

We let kids try it. One 7 year old said, picking up the handset, "It's so heavy".

At home, I have several analog phones tied to a VoIP box on Sonic. They use the old house phone wiring, which is no longer attached to the telco. Plugging the VoIP box into a phone outlet drives them.

It is much more complicated then your asshole guest example in reality.
"Brainwashed" is not a very honest way to frame this discussion. You can be convinced of something without being brainwashed.

I genuinely believe that free speech should have limits in order to maintain the cohesion of our societies and protect people from mobs. I don't think I've been brainwashed into it, I've just seen what unbridled and unchecked hate speech can lead to.

Of course there's the problem of where the line should be drawn and who should draw it, but in order to have this discussion we need to move away from these strawmen (strawpersons?) and accept that maybe people just have convictions they haven't been brainwashed into.

After all, I'm sure you wouldn't be very happy if I erected billboards along the highway featuring hardcore pedopornography with your faced photoshopped in. One way or an other we all have limits to what we consider acceptable expression, it's all about figuring out how this should be codified and enforced.

And I want to add that having taboo topics and forms of expression is probably a good thing overall. For our lives to have meaning we need "sacred" things to protect, things to fight against, things to think about. We need to be able to shock, we need to be able to be transgressive, to make revolutions and counter-revolutions, to express frustration.
