+1. I was in Peru last year and one of the most memorable thing that happened was eating a Changalikodan banana that is only found in India (Asia?)/Latin America. I missed it so much (hard to get it in the US) that I ate like 3-4 right there in the market. We now find them at our local Mexican store but it's a hit or miss.
You think Parler has a page that says they know a big percentage of their content will be hate speech and plotting violence. Like an official unofficial policy page?

Maybe don't hold your breath waiting on that.

You’re comparing GCC and clang 12 years later. In a world where Apple didn’t put out clang I think the GCC project would look extremely different. Competition is good because it causes projects to analyze why they are popular and what things they’re doing that might not be wins.
It is unclear what exactly you are objecting to.
Associating Ethereum to Parler "domestic terrorist platform" is genius. Regulators are watching.
In i3/sway, windows are organized in a tree structure where application windows are the leaves. Non-leaf nodes are called containers and can be tiled vertically, tiled horizontally, stacked, or tabbed. Windows and containers can be either floating or tiled on the workspace. It seems like i3's layout model is a superset of wmii's.

wmii's tagging does sound unique if I understand correctly that you can have 1 window in multiple workspaces and correspondingly in multiple positions and sizes. Something like that sounds like it would be problematic for handling multiple monitors, though. If one window is to be in 2 workspaces, what's supposed to happen when you want to show both workspaces at once in separate monitors? Can't show the same window in 2 places at once with different sizes.

It depends on what kind of WiFi you need.

You are probably right about the problems with many clients, I would not know.

While I have a network with more than a dozen computers, most are wired and I seldom connect through WiFi more than a single laptop.

In this use case, I did not have problems, and I much prefer to use as router a computer over which I have complete control instead of some appliance that does whatever it wants, but I have not tried to see what happens with many WiFi clients in this configuration, because I have not needed that.
There will absolutely be, but at least then restriction of speech in the public square will be driven by some sort of legal process. Not everything is subject to first amendment protections, and inciting riots clearly falls into the category that isn’t.

The danger is that almost any difficult decision has some kind of danger associated with it. Disagree with Covid restrictions ? Dangerous. Challenge the efficacy of a vaccine? Dangerous.

But I think we’d be better off if the decisions on takedowns and censorship of those positions were legislated in courts of law that yield clear guidance, not decided arbitrarily by a select few members of an oligopoly.
>it's actually extra scary to cut off a politician's fundraising for disagreeing with their "politics"

Except that's not what happened. Stripe didn't cut off the Trump campaign's ability to raise funds. They didn't block access to their bank accounts. They didn't freeze their assets.

Rather, one company (and they aren't even close to the largest player in that industry) chose not to process online credit card transactions for them.

The Trump campaign has many other online payment processors that it can do business with. They can still accept donations via many other means (checks, bank transfers, cash, etc., etc.).

A single company (which is just a group of people) decided they didn't want to do business with another group of people.

Stripe, it's shareholders and employees are under no obligation to do business with anyone.

And the fact that the customer is a political entity strengthens that, as their right to support (or not) any particular political entity, candidate or position is integral to a free society.
I’m confused, I thought clang was a frontend for LLVM so how does it make sense to compare clang with LLVM?

From the clang Wikipedia:

> It uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure as its back end and has been part of the LLVM release cycle since LLVM 2.6.
>Just the thought of an organisation not being allowed to apply its rules really does shock me.

It shouldn't. Think about this - hierarchically these organizations (companies) exist because of charters authorized by the government. The less your company impacts the greater society to the negative, the less likely you are to be regulated. As your company amasses power, influence, and data, your activities may be regulated by the government as they have a greater impact on how society works.

Your organization is only authorized to exist because of the government. Tomorrow they could remove your leadership, shut it down, or break it up - the only thing that is needed is a plausible justification and reason for social acceptance to overcome resistance.

This is all new territory for the human species, in many ways.

I did go on Parler a few days before the Capitol attack and it was pretty crazy. Not everything was violent, but definitely a different take on virtually everything. And definitely calls towards violence and overthrow mixed in. Haven’t been back since.

Note, Parler does have a Twitter account too. I have not heard people looking to ban that — so really not hypocritical at all.

If you rely on media (traditional or social) push technology to drive your narrative, you will always be easily controlled.

Follow media from both ends of the spectrum. That will give you about 60-70% of the issues you need to watch acutely.

In AWS’ letter to Parler (https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/acc4b9b6a31b55bf/2/ou...) they explicitly called out the fact that Parler told them their plan moving forward was to use volunteer moderators.

AWS also pointed out clear examples of illegal content that Parler did not remove.

You are misunderstanding/misrepresenting what he put out there.

1. His post is to get the State to divest of equity and debt positions in any of the listed companies, not stopping them from operating or from him using it to communicate. His point is they can choose who they do business with and so can the State of Florida, which if large States back out of buying bonds and prevent state retirement plans from investing in those companies it is a significant impact to the company, especially the more that do it.

2. Twitter, Facebook, Google et al have all advertised in Newspapers, on TV etc to tell people to use their platforms and to pull eyes away from the place they put the ad. Hence they "posted" on the "competitions" platform to get peoples attention cause that is where they were at that point, the same for this politician.

3. Last point, no where did I see him say people shouldn't use the platforms, just that the state & local governments shouldn't spend tax dollars on ads or allow state equity purchases etc.

His point is each of those companies have a right to choose who they do business with and so does the State government.
Legally they have the right to refuse service but ethically they owe the public. However "Free Speech" does not entitle people to Freely Lie. As we have seen the wrong words from the right person can cause the loss of life. The police officer did not deserve to die to further the political ambitions of a few morally/ethically bankrupt individuals.
Parler can recreate itself on another platform if they wish. Gab is still up. It is just as disgusting. The Constitution only guarantees that Congress shall pass no laws prohibiting free speech. The last time I checked Amazon or Twitter cannot pass legislation.

Free speech is prevented by the use of force. We held an election. The results where not what some people liked. They tried to cancel the people's voice. That is the real speech suppression here.

Interacting with a tor browser would be amateurish at this point. Just connect to tor (not on a browser, tor directly), use a script to upload to some random pastebin, disconnect from tor.
It's still a blockchain, just a more complicated one. The "distributed compute" capabilities of Ethereum are entirely a property of its consensus algorithm; as such, they're extremely limited, and cannot interact with external entities or store significant amounts of data.
Hasn't he been refuted repeatedly and decisively?
Wouldn't the platform be protected by section 230? I imagine a large part of the reason Parler even exists is to abuse section 230, or get section 230 removed so they can then go after big tech, or call people hypocrites when only their service gets removed. But as it stands, isn't the service protected?
The issue is that they wouldn’t provide full service because it was in service of a gay wedding. You are splitting hairs and it makes no difference morally.

If EU doesn't have valuable companies and cannot produce valuable products how come that EU is not much different for living standarts than the US then? Is EU a petrostate? Where the money comes from if USA makes all the good stuff and EU none? From pumping out the Bulgarian crude or mining the Spanish rare earth metals?

The thing is, Europe missed out on the Software&Internet and the reality is, it is not the only tech or only high value product out there. However, software creates enormous monopolies, therefore when you do a top list USA has everything.

If you can look further than the toplists, Europe is doing strong on the long tail and that is how you got your 20T economy with no single unicorn in the charts.

Europe's biggest problem is its demographics - People are getting older and dying, not enough young people replace them. That's why it's percentage on the world economy is shrinking, it's not because Europeans can't code.

> you absolutely don't need to use the new internet if you don't want to

Yeah, no, that's not how this works. People don't want your "new internet". People want the Network, and in our era it so happens that's the Internet (previously it was the Public Switched Telephone Network, and before that the Universal Postal Union). But it isn't your "new internet" of a few enthusiasts who are sure it'll work this time even though it hasn't worked the previous times it was tried.

> Is there any good reason why we shouldn't own our own names?

A name is what something is called. In London there is a famous river crossing which was officially named after an equally famous politician. William Pitt (the Elder). But people didn't call it "William Pitt Bridge" or even "Pitt Bridge". People called it "Blackfriars" because that's the district of London it is in. Nobody you ask in London will know where "Pitt Bridge" is. There is no "Pitt Bridge" you want "Blackfriars".

Perhaps you've never visited London. Lots of HN folks are from Silicon Valley. San Francisco has a bridge that joins the city to Oakland, I happen to believe it should be named after the Emperor, "Norton Bridge" seems like a good name. But is that what it's named? No, because even if a few agree with me, on the whole people call it the "Bay bridge" and a name is what something is called.

This seems to be a hard concept for some people to manage, but it's mandatory, so there isn't anything I can do about that.

> Historically, revolutions happen all the time.

Historically most attempted revolutions fail. In hindsight it is often clear they could never have succeeded. I think Americans have a fairly recent memory of what failed revolution looks like.

> So actually, the DNS root is owned by some company that is under the jurisdiction of California law.

In practice (and perhaps this will annoy tptacek but too bad) this isn't usefully true. ICANN's control of the DNS root is by consent, the same way that say, the English Parliament is sovereign by consent, so just because California law says they can do something does not in fact mean it will have the effect envisioned in California law.

I don't find his policies extremist. On the contrary I feel he did more for minority upliftment than any other US President in modern times.

I have always supported Trump over here when no one was coming out in his support. Got down voted heavily too. You can see my comments to know where I stand on this. In fact, he is the least extreme US President I have seen till date.

No matter what the majority thinks I have personally looked into policies that Trump has gotten pushed either through his executive orders or through the Congress and every single policy I have agreed to. I'm not even an American. I'm an Indian. Trump has targeted India when it comes to trade and imposed tariffs. Quite frankly I feel he was completely in the right for doing so. The deficit between our countries was too huge in terms of trade and it needed to be balanced out. There is a time and place for jingoism but not when truth is staring in your face. So you'll find more people in India pro-Trump than you'll find even in America perhaps. We can't forget his help in making sure China comes around and removed the block on UN sanctions against terrorist Maulana Masood Azhar. Obama couldn't get it done as China never took him seriously. Trump got it done. You can read more about it here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/intern...

But I would definitely call the ones who stormed US Capitol as insurrectionists. There is no excuse for that behaviour. If at all, it damaged Trump more than it helped him. I mean the entire premise of Trump supporters being different from left-wing supporters was one knows to protest peacefully while the other indulges in riots and arson. I was extremely disappointed when I saw it go out of hand at the US Capitol. This is not what I expected. But nevertheless it happened and cannot be reversed.
