They were working on applying mRNA technology to other diseases, including (and in particular) cancer, well before the pandemic. While it is true that they have received significant funding this year, they had a $7.6B market cap on Dec 31, 2019 and were already conducting several clinical studies for mRNA-based medicine [1].

Sorry, I don't think that is censorship. It is just the bar owner deciding he had enough about you insulting the patrons and kicked you out, but you can keep saying your shit. Just not in his bar.
I see a lot of people saying that Parler was only used to promote hate.

How where they able to determine this?
a big issue is being missed.

Apple, while accusing Parler of not monitoring what it users send, technically is guilty of the same, when users send SMS messages to each other to bomb a place.

Now that Apple is enforcing tenants on its platform such as de-platforming Parler, it should also be held responsible for the actions of any other app ( left or right wing), since it has stepped up to do that.

If this is not acceptable, all talk of free speech is really hogwash.
It depends wildly on where that single employee is placed within that hierarchy.
> you are saying free to redistribute copies with or without change but you are saying connecting to official server is bad for brand. what happened to copies without change? how can you justify that? arent you restricting that line?

Nobody is stopping you from distributing copies without change. Do it right now. Announce it to the world. It's 100% fine.

> if moxie is so worried about the sugarflake brand, why does it not copyright the brand name? shouldnt that solve their problems? why pretend open source when its not

Signal is actually trademarked. Scroll to the bottom of the signal website: and you will see "Signal is a registered trademark in the United States and other countries." Nothing new about this. Firefox is trademarked as well (hence e.g. iceweasel)

I'm sure the author of openssh runs an ssh server somewhere. He doesn't let me connect to it. That doesn't make ssh less open-source.
It is the same thing when they take down any other hate site: bye bye haters. Intolerance cannot be allowed to be free speech. Just like you can't walk into a club and yell fire without consequences. We have tragic historical events that set precedence.
Per capita it's really most of western Europe and the US that are struggling, and the US is doing better on vaccinations so far while it has had a higher case and death rate than most but not all of Europe. It's rather misleading to just cite a total confirmed case count.

The process is why I don't bother. I was baptized when I was little and I don't consider that a proper contract. If they want to use bad input data, I'll let them deceive themselves. Going to the church and pleading is not only somewhat humiliating, it validates the contract between a little child and a very large organization.

"Colorful" people leaving because of a war implies a racist society where unusual people are merely tolerated at best of times. History is more complex than that. Duke Mieszko I, the first recorded ruler of Poland, gifted a camel (according to Thietmar) to Otto III, future emperor. That was in A.D. 986.
How to lose weight just by eating
There are many misconceptions about fat a lot of people say fats cause obesity, heart disease, and so on.

In this post, I will be explaining what’s right and what’s wrong about fat based on science all this information is proven and trusted and, I am responsible for what I am writing here.

So, be confident and follow the plan I am telling you in this blog to live your life in the form without any disease. Let’s get started.

65% of your brain consists of fat, all your cells have lipid membranes, all hormones without any exception synthesized from fat, Vitamin A, D, E, K, K2 and, F from fat. Also, fat is a pure source of energy this tells the importance of fat it’s illogical to say fat harm you. But of course, you have to eat them in balance.
This is so obviously fake news. Latest research backed by carbon based spectrum analysis proves that it was "invented" by a tribe Alphabetians (or Aphapet-es as they called themselves). I'm saying "invented" because it was passed to them by the Giant Lizards From Space in visions inducted with direct brain 5G transmissions. Turn on your thinking and do your own research.
So, I absolutely do not believe we should go making a "Nazi umbrella" and throwing every anti-socialist, western chauvinist, Republican, etc. into it.

With that said, I agree 30 may seem like a lowball and it possibly is, but I've seen so many cases of people who went to the initial protest being doxed, and it's been some random kind woman from the Bay Area, some random woman who works at a hospital in Massachusetts, and so on. They very much just appear to be regular people brainwashed by Trump and his cronies.
> I've read posts inviting people to hang and quarter democrats on the streets in front of their families, as well as posts inviting armed sedition against the institutions.

And I've read posts on HN saying we should hang and quarter Trump supporters; should HN be wiped from the face of the earth?
The PBS series NOVA had a great show on the alphabet and more generally went over how such things develop.

I think it was this episode:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/a-to-z-the-first-alphabe...

One of the things that was striking was that the process for coming up for an alphabet or pieces of it seem like they easily could have developed in multiple places at once, or come and gone here or there.
No it won't. People have. Twitter doesn't to shit against left wing racists, left wing violence advocates, or anything china does.

This is a flat out lie.

It's politics and anyone pretending differently is lying.
HIV/AIDS is definitely frequently considered a pandemic, and at least a global epidemic. In any case the obvious difference is that it isn't as contagious.
Would also put a huge burden on small businesses. I run a little forum for by business. I want to remove spam and off-topic posts, so I'll be classed as a publisher, but I don't want to be subject to restrictions of "Publishers may be held liable for omissions, mistakes, and transgressions of their authors". What if a user quotes somebody else's words but doesn't use proper quotation marks? My problem!
My experience so far with companies that operate in this manner, has been something like:

1) Community member asks question.

2A) Answer is already in documentation, which can be easily linked to.

Or

2B) Can be answered in-line, with an action item to add clarification/more details to the docs.

This feels like a pretty scalable solution for the most part. If there are still recurring questions you might want to look at the discoverability/layout of your docs, but usually I've found that other community members start linking each other to docs if the same question comes up again and again.
The Problem with Vaccine Websites
I mean the number of people who are willing to commit forgery and lie to border patrol is probably pretty small. This is a huge step in the right direction that will prevent loads of air transmission. We don't really have time to wait years for a "fully baked" solution, and this is a solid compromise.
If you have over $500 per month of AWS spend, you are still free to use the product (no credit card required to get started) and everything will work but certain features will be restricted.

For example, cost transparency reports will require an upgrade to use for spend over $500 per month. The specifics are detailed on our pricing page here: https://vantage.sh/pricing

We are taking a look at what it would take to offer a free trial on our end in the future as well.
I think the comment above meant that the `any` keyword specifically is a synonym for `interface{}`, not that all generic types will be.

>I'm a Thunderbird user, but I don't really think that there's a clear winner in that comparison. Outlook has features that Thunderbird has been missing for over a decade, like reliable send-in-background (and other database operations in background unlike Thunderbird that likes to interrupt you to ask permission) and a far more mature calendar product.

A fair point. As someone who has used both Outlook (professionally) and Thunderbird (personally) for decades (IIRC, the oldest message in my Thunderbird email store is from 1996), calendaring in Thunderbird isn't as robust as in Outlook and some of the other weaknesses you mention are absolutely valid.

However, I'd say that many of the advantages of Outlook that you mention are more related to better integration of Outlook into Exchange back ends than to the Outlook client.

If Exchange had better IMAP support and appropriate plugins for Thunderbird, Thunderbird would be vastly superior to Outlook in most respects.

As it is, Thunderbird is already vastly superior to any web-based MUA[0], including OWA[1].

This argument has been going on for decades. Chat vs. threaded discussion vs. email. The best one for me is where the people I need to communicate are listening. The hard part is getting everyone to listen in the same place. It doesn't matter how good the UX is, if you need the CEO in the chat and she only does email, then email it is.

My code before a transitive dependency pulled in the k/k universe took milliseconds to compile. Afterwards it took about 10 seconds to compile. Laboriously compiling thousands and thousands and thousands of lines of nearly-identical code turns out to be much slower. There are no clever shortcuts for a compiler that cannot deduce a higher intent.
This will now place a strain on the testing facilities of small countries (islands) that are a popular destination of American tourists.

In Jamaica, every lab that has been approved to conduct the PCR test has been overwhelmed by a flood a Canadian tourists who now need a negative PCR test result to return home. Mind you, smaller countries have been having an uphill battle with procuring the reagents needed for the PCR tests because countries like the US is grabbing up everything COVID related, and not using them.

Had the US implemented these measures 9 months ago, the entire world would have looking at the tail-end of this pandemic, instead of waiting for the US to catchup with what every other country considers as a best practice.
When I got the PCR COVID test administered when I had a suspected case, I was required to fill out a form stating my name, DOB, email, phone, physical address, full social security number, and student ID (I'm a college student). Since these are all attributes bound to identity, I'm sure it's not too difficult to make a database of test results.
The rapid antigen tests have a significant problem with false-negatives: the BMJ reported that Innova tests have 49% sensitivity.

That makes it pointless to use as a border control - for every two cases, at least one gets through. (Or, potentially much worse, under this system: I throw away my positive tests and show whatever false negative one I have).

You ideally want to be conservative and permit some false positives at an effective border control, because you don't want to risk infectious cases getting through and causing an untraceable national breakout.
I've been using Outlook for 20 years or so, and I generally like it. Lots of features, some of them are borderline unique. For instance, I wonder which e-mail clients allow to create complicated rules that are then running on the mail server as opposed to that client?

The necessary conditions are (1) one needs to learn it. Too many features are making UX non-intuitive. (2) fast connection to e-mail server (3) ms exchange on the server, some features only work there.
> The impulse to change things is just too strong these days.

FWIW, I don't think this impulse is there with the Go team. Go progresses quite slowly, from what I've seen as a user over the past 18 months. Generics have been in discussion for a long time with multiple implementations and no real rush to "just ship it".
You've made some good arguments throughout this thread, but this one in particular is disingenuous. You can't market yourself to people that were deplatformed specifically for inciting violence and then credibly mock surprise when those people begin inciting violence on your platform. By the time the limited number of moderators get around to deleting or hiding posts the damage is done, and everybody knows it.
Most of the countries that have sane case rates and many that are doing terribly with respect to case rate already require this. Some such as the Netherlands added it relatively recently for transit passengers as well, although most only require it for arrival passengers.
All of the research on masks published before it became a political issue said as much. The general public doesn't wear masks properly enough for masks to have an infection control effect.

I don't know why it's right to ban conspiracies. Conspiracies are to be debunked, not banned. Otherwise, people who believe such conspiracies simply go underground and we end up cultivating anger, distrust, and cynicism. Is that covid-19 would turn into a global pandemic back in Feb a conspiracy? Is criticizing USSR in the 30s a conspiracy? Is that earth is not the center of our universe a conspiracy 700 years ago? Is that FBI's infiltration and surveillance on political groups a conspiracy? Are all the questioning on the reasons for the US to invade Iraq conspiracy theories? Where are the WMDs now?

In general, are we sure that no conspiracy ever turned out to be true? How many heresies turned out to be correct and changed the course of our history? And how many people were persecuted in the name of spreading conspiracy? Why are we so afraid of conspiracies?

Yes, but as gmail has illustrated, that just shifts the problem. Where before your problem was "It got deleted". Now the problem is search pulls up too many things.

Slack seems to be even worse because unlike email, you don't really have subjects or thread beginnings, just continual flow of chatter.
I think the people in favor of this, and the squashing of Parler, must be modeling the activities of the people most affected by this as something like the spread of a disease; cut off the transmission, and things don't get worse.

I can't help but see it more like cutting off the steam vents to an active volcano.
That's an irony. USA is pretty much a fortress for as long as border security goes, and it had the best chance of any nation to avoid Covid impact by shutting itself off from the world using mechanisms of border security only.

Yet, for some completely unfathomable reason, it didn't.

Forgeries of the international yellow fever vaccine certificate happen regularly. (For example, backpackers to Africa from Eastern European countries where the yellow fever vaccine was perennially unavailable at our local clinics printed out their own copy on yellow paper and put a fake stamp on it.) Nevertheless, the yellow-fever certificate requirement is believed to work well enough regardless. With COVID, too, one could argue that something is better than nothing.
Yup, in its lawsuit Parler said..."AWS knew its allegations contained in the letter it leaked to the press that Parler was not able to find and remove content that encouraged violence was false because over the last few days Parler had removed everything AWS had brought to its attention and more. Yet AWS sought to defame Parler nonetheless."

This take strikes my as a bit absurd. You have to take a pretty all-encompassing view of 'tech' for it to make sense. Apple success on the shoulders of a wide app developer ecosystem, not on the narrower set of other tech titans. Google, via Android, is in a similar spot. And AWS is even further afield.

Two names not included in the de-platforming accusations here are Facebook and Twitter. If anybody of the tech titans were to benefit from this cynical take on the actions against Parler, it was them.

SV is not one entity, and each of the five listed above has very different goals for themselves, so I'm pretty skeptical of this conspiratorial perspective.

I understand the sense that these things are monopolistic, but of course there are real alternatives. They are harder, and more expensive, but the cost is borne by the transgressor of pretty reasonable common norms (don't tolerate promotion of violence).

Parler gets to join Stormfront and all the torrent sites on the lower decks not because Apple, Google and Amazon are knocking out nascent competition, but because those sites violate reasonable, privately set and moderated rules.
But we weren't talking about those who had spent significant time working in C++.
There's really no point. Hundreds to thousands of people are contracting covid every day in every city across America. Over the course of five days in December, there were one million new cases. People coming in on international flights is basically irrelevant. That could start to change if the vaccine causes community spread to plummet.
I’ve had cameras both ways without anaesthesia, is that not common in the US?

> Curious if you feel torn supporting the US highway infrastructure? It can clearly be used for to traffic drugs, humans, blackmarket weapons, etc. It can be used to flee justice, evade police, abets vehicular manslaughter, etc. The list goes on and on. Is it even controversial to support the highway system as is? Do we loose sleep over it?

They get closed fast when the shit hits the fan though. So, where does the analogy leave us ?
Is it censorship if law enforcement puts up a blockade to catch a suspected criminal?

Is it censorship is law enforcement shuts down a section of highway due to safety issues?
Perhaps it would have been considered xenophobic?
Every other country? Have you looked at the recent COVID-19 case and death rates in much of western Europe? Many of those countries, one of which I live in (which still doesn't require testing arrival passengers), are still changing their policies on incoming travelers with respect to quarantining and testing. There isn't some global consensus that the US is blind to.
Generics make working with reactive APIs much easier, which I think fits with a large chunk of Go's target audience (b/e networked services) quite closely.
