Well, it wasn't. It was about economic and political integration and competition with the South.

Here's a very tame source: "The Civil War in the United States began in 1861, after decades of simmering tensions between northern and southern states over slavery, states’ rights and westward expansion." [ https://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-c... ]

Which of those 3 items you think the North could not care less about (much less go to war for), if it wasn't for its economic impact?

Continuing from the same source:

"In the mid-19th century, while the United States was experiencing an era of tremendous growth, a fundamental economic difference existed between the country’s northern and southern regions. In the North, manufacturing and industry was well established, and agriculture was mostly limited to small-scale farms, while the South’s economy was based on a system of large-scale farming that depended on the labor of Black enslaved people to grow certain crops, especially cotton and tobacco."

The tie with slavery is all about the economy:

"Growing abolitionist sentiment in the North after the 1830s and northern opposition to slavery’s extension into the new western territories led many southerners to fear that the existence of slavery in America—and thus the backbone of their economy—was in danger."

And that's the general causes. The immediate causes for the declaration of war have even less to do with it, and it was all about the secession of several states - i.e. whether the federal state has control over them or not.

Because apple provides a tradeoff - a VERY trusted ecosystem that folks are happy to spend big money in knowing they are pretty safe (no impossible to cancel subscriptions).

The ecosystem as well is pretty aggressively updated - even old devices (by most company standards) remain supported AND updated - so your development target is not terrible.

So in short - you can make good to great money on the apple ecosystem as revenue per install is higher and ecosystem support costs lower.

You can do that. The only extra step is you need to have your app signed by Apple. Not App Store review, it just scans for malware and signs it.
Could even break those companies up further, at least Visa since financial censorship is becoming prominent with their monopoly share of the market
No, what software you use is none of his business.
My policy is always to be considerate to other people, never to try to hurt someone's feelings on purpose, but beyond that, I feel like I'm generally being somewhat guarded even when it's anonymous.

It's not impossible that there could be some kind of leak, or that an algorithm could look at what you wrote, and compute some kind of signature based on what you wrote (eg: n-gram probabilities), and match it up with your other online identities. In general, you kind of have to assume that anything you write online could eventually be tied back to your public identity.

That being said, I tend to assume that if you said something your employer might disapprove of, it wouldn't be a problem unless what you said somehow gathered a lot of attention online. For that you'd have to be famous, or stir some serious shit on twitter. Even if the identities of everyone on HN were outed, I'm guessing mostly nobody would care, except if they found out Jeff Bezos was secretly posting hateful messages.
needs proof of life. none of the "vendors" will consider it without proof. in-fact they would likely verify if they were real dumps.
You can find it on Wikipedia as a start and read the founder’s (Pavel Durov’s) posts. The founder is in exile and is a citizen of St. Kitts & Nevis. The Telegram team is currently in Dubai, but has been in other locations before. Telegram was attempted to be banned in Russia a few years ago, but that failed terribly.

As a U.S. person, you have a lot more to worry about the three letter agencies there than about Telegram. And theoretically, you’d also have to worry about Signal being based out of the U.S.
Something which may be disturbing to think about in this context is how limited our access to our own electronic "memories" has become over time, in comparison with how much it was before.

For example, if you were using MySpace or LiveJournal, or early Twitter, you could see your entire history, and in some cases do query and search like "between 2 and 3 years ago" or "everything with X tag".

However, with today's services, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do that kind of querying outside of the, if you're lucky, 3 different sorts of hot/top/new. Some places will also limit the number of items you can see.
They want to make as much noise about it as possible, because Parler has an axe to grind. If they got back on air too quickly they wouldn’t be able to make such a fuss.
Rubber and glue FTW, eh?
What red tape?

Your app is signed and that's it. Not App Store review, just signed by a bot. The rest is all just discussing things like copy protection, where to host, etc.
We also don't, in general, shout our political opinions on street corners or in farmer's markets.

What seems to be changing is the online space looks more like those spaces, only our voices online are very loud.
A lot of things happen with the inaction or perhaps with the deliberate ignorance of government regulators.

Reading greenwald's take on it I come to feel that it seems likely that this cabal of corporate hegemons, utilized multiple private intelligence security firms to stoke and instigate the riot for the purposes of destroying their competitor as well as sending a message to people who dared utilize that app instead of one of the conventional apps that you're not safe if you do that. it was an extremely effective and coordinated campaign and I respect their ingenuity and will to dominance. fledgling startups should be aware of these sort of tactics and take steps to mitigate them for their own success, but I think aside from the purely political and free speech problems that poses I think and the important corporate monopolistic issues are companies should not be delivering these negative results for consumers who want to choose to use an alternate app, they shouldn't be using their monopoly power nor coordinating with other monopolies in order to shut out a competitor.

Perhaps this operation was a favor to the incoming administration who promised to go soft on the antitrust stuff if the techs would pull off this coup against these politically inconvenient free speech enabling technologies that go against the dominant ideology advocated by the group trying to maintain control. Win win.
Fox news is not a credible source of information.

Anyone read the book Daemon by Daniel Suarez? Sometimes it feels like we're heading in that direction, where each person has a reputation score, and everyone can see it.
> I guess "Creation Date" refers to the original registration of the domain anywhere rather than with the current registrar.

Correct. Even more interestingly if you backorder a domain name owned by another person and that domain name expires, the creation date reflected in the WHOIS record once you obtain it will be the previous owner's creation date, not the date you obtained the domain. I think this behavior varies by registrar but that is how it seems to function on GoDaddy.
SCOTUS has said that electors can be punished for not voting according to the rules laid out by the state. I'm not sure to what extent the various remedies available have been settled; that is, what can be done procedurally after a faithless elector casts their vote. AFAIK so far the effect has always been that their vote was counted and certified.
I don’t need B, I use C.
Yes, Signal has also seen a large influx, so much so that the registration OTPs failed to deliver and Signal was working on that (with carriers) to sort it out. This was in the news a few days ago.
Twitter and Facebook regularly ban people for violating their TOS with inappropriate content. Parler did not.

Sure, corporations will turn a blind eye to a lot for a little more profit, but this does not extend to supporting a platform full of people trying to violently overthrow the government.

Just think about this for a second: every major provider shut down seditious media shortly after what happened on 1/6. When's the last time Apple, Google, Amazon, Shopify, etc., agreed on anything in the same day?

They are not going to risk the lawsuits and possible market share loss to competitors unless they have an iron clad insurance policy. In my opinion, the only thing that offers that kind of policy is a very clear signal from law enforcement.

Who knows if it was a friendly tip or a boat load of subpoenas under seal. Whatever it was, it was scary enough to move every single cloud provider in the same direction within hours of each other. Despite this kind of coordination being more evidence for monopolistic behavior, they all came to the same conclusion: create space between us and anything related to the 1/6 sedition. Now.

Parler set themselves up for this by not going with their own servers but wimping out and using a cloud provider. Get a high speed line and host it yourself straight up. Save money too.
great profile
Who owns the company, the employees, or the shareholders? This feels like shifting the blame. It's possible that the employees bullied the owners into allowing this, but at the end of the day, they allowed it. Period.
This memo contains no new information. It almost certainly confirms multiple vying factions within the military, otherwise why release this.
I guess I'm curious to understand who has the money and motivation but not risk to spend $1M on stolen data?
Start with assembly. And yes I’m absolutely serious.

Not “real” assembly, a simplified one that operates directly on memory without registers.
It's ad hominem, and Greenwald has always been incompetent. Just look at his PRISM reporting, which he still hasn't issued a correction for and just never talks about anymore (not a single mention in his pardon rant on Substack) after apparently finally realizing how embarrassingly wrong his reporting was.
It was slavery.

It was slavery.

It was slavery. (The states’ rights to maintain slavery.)

It was entirely about slavery.
As much as I criticize Facebook's UI and design patterns, the amount of connecting with both people I know and people with common interests I can do there is pretty amazing.

In other words: "It's contrarianism when those I don't agree with do it".
The earliest note of an apology I can find was June 11th. It took Mike Milley 5 days to realize he'd been lied to about the purpose of him following Trump? I could see this being political where he was hoping it would blow over quickly & he wouldn't be dragged in, but only apologizing when it didn't. That's politicking though & I would hope that military generals, in an age of misinformation, are proactive about correcting the record. Another interpretation is that he was 100% on board with the President's plan & miscalculated the impact it would have on him.
Here we go again ...

I'd be happy if Rust evangelists would stop trying to steal every post on other languages to praise the superiority of Rust.

I won't go into details on how to choose the right tool for the job or the many very relevant disadvantages of Rust in the real world of getting stuff into production compared to Java, Go or .NET, but if Rust was so superior: Why is it still a niche language after reading for years how superior it is?
Yes, there's also a subtle shift in incentive from being contrarian organically to being contrarian strategically. Incentives matter, and can introduce bias and distort one's perception of reality. People who base their identity and id around the notion of being contrarian are setting themselves up for being incorrect, a crank, or worse.
I would say you're being pedantic, but your emotions tell me there's something more going on?
They could create radio interferences, maybe? or just destroy the satellites?

Historically, that was trueish thanks to CDMA in the usa, but it's significantly less true now that the CDMA networks are dying.

For instance, the only band an S20 is missing that's commonly found in the US is 66.

https://www.deviceranks.com/en/phone/bands/16582/samsung-gal...

These days it's purely a patent licensing agreement. Samsung doesn't sell Exynos modems (and thus Exynos SoCs) in the US or China (historically markets with lots of CDMA), and Qualcomm doesn't hassle them about the rest of the world.
I'm definitely no expert, but what I'm shooting for is:

- Set minimum effective goals in a well-dialed manner (somewhere in the sweet spot between big enough to make an impact and small enough to do on a reasonable cycle)

- Get the goal done. Quickly if at all possible.

- Figure out what isn't optimal from there and iterate

Honestly my intuition for #1 is... among the non-optimal things, and I may well have some shortcomings on #2.

(I'm really good at part of #3, though.)
It could be that. Or it could be the start of something brand new and very big/exciting. Afterall, the hype of the tech stocks did come to fruition...but 5-15 years later. I don't know.
I get it. You feel special and smart being contrarian. You kind of proved my point.
You’re right. But Apple, Google, and Amazon all colluding for the singular purpose of warning others that conservative speech will get their businesses instantly killed by the largest and most powerful companies on earth? That sure is.

Not anymore! With Java 11 you can (finally) have top level code immediately execute as if it was run in main method. Only took 25 years.
Definitely. My iPhone 12 pro is 200g, with the screen titled slightly this is putting quite a lot of extra load.
no analogy is perfect so every analogy is valid, huh
When it comes to baking cakes for gay weddings or offering birth control in health insurance plans the far-right considers the discretion of a business to determine how it is run inviolable.

When it’s their own interests at stake for the same reason, suddenly it’s unconscionable that a private company should exercise such unilateral control.

Funny how that works.

Yes, it's called confirmation bias.
I've never found that one particularly compelling. Flood myths are common across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and even Australia. There's isn't a reasonable argument to be made that all of these areas were in contact to share stories of this one event.
Does Raspbian yet?
Totally. At the same time, Samsung has made it clear they aren't really interested in producing SoCs without built in modems any more.
>makes as much sense as treating the New York Times as a state-directed utility.

This just reminded me there are laws, such as changing one's name, which require things to be announced in one or more prominent local papers (which laws depends on your state and local governments).

I'm not totally sure if that's evidence against making a "utility" social media or for making a "utility" newspaper.
Like all moral principles, everyone interprets it differently, and your interpretation probably differs from my interpretation.

My personal belief about why free speech should exist is that it helps us discover the truth, both morally and factually. As such, I think we should make spaces accessible that allow any idea to be discussed, even the ones we currently think are wrong, and if we limit speech we should do it such that no idea is rendered inexpressible. However, I understand that not every space should be a complete free-for-all, and I have no problem with limiting the way in which an idea can be presented to ensure politeness or harmlessness.

Within the scope of this belief, I find it obviously okay to deplatform speech up until doing so harms our overall ability to discover the truth. Past that point a tradeoff exists. I think that the removal of Parler is a tradeoff between the free speech of its users, vs the self-determination of Google, the potential harm done by Parler, and the existence of other spaces where ideas can still be discussed. While I therefore find removing Parler to be acceptable, I still feel that the moral principle of free speech must be applied to that decision, even if it's outweighed by other factors.
Have never really had problems with keepassx apart from what you mention:

> copying and pasting with poorly-behaved sites

Do find myself doing this with some sites with different subdomains, there's probably a wildcard setting that I haven't seen. Multiple redirects can also be a problem but that's also handled well.

The only real issue I've ever had is firefox as a snap not being able to use the browser extension due to non-standard file locations. This is entirely a snap problem though.

None of this hassle is caused by password managers though, they behave properly when websites follow basic practices.

I wish mutual TLS authentication took off, even with all the issues of cross-device usage it makes a lot of sense.

While I understand the value of anonymous public communication, I think it comes with a huge "bad-actor" problem that we haven't figured out how to offset.

Anonymity is a problem when it is used to commit crimes and law enforcement seems inadequately staffed to police cyber crimes even when the perpetrator isn't even anonymous or pseudo anonymous.

Do we need something like an Internet "drivers" license for anyone who wants to post content to the public? Analogous to needing a license to drive on public roads? Maybe that idea can be tied into Section 230 concerns? I'm sure there are obvious difficulties, just spitballing. Balancing liberty and safety isn't easy.
Nice idea. Hopefully gain a traction.
No, the global average temperatures over the last 8 years don't show a pause. There was never a consensus that there was one.

I like how you cutoff the my quote at the exact point that shows you how you are wrong. As I said "The only piece of information that matters for that are the aggregate numbers".

Whether there is 1 version, 6 different versions, or 1 million different versions of colds is irrelevant to your odds of having COVID when you show symptoms. What matters is whether there is 1 person, 6 people, or 1 million people with colds. The variety is meaningless. What matters is the aggregate number of cases.
The consensus among European historians (that don't have to tow the party line and be "patriotic" about it) was that slavery was just a pretext.

That is, if by "it was slavery" anybody means:

- "the North cared for the welfare of blacks and wanted to save them from slavery and went to war for it"

as opposed to:

"the Northern interests wanted to take away that advantage/economic mode from the South and the westward expansion states". The rest are nice stories to tell to children to make them feel patriotic and proud.

The US continued being racist and seggragated just fine, including the "all caring" North for another century (or more).

reports of content that violated its community standards and remained on its service.

They were clearly lying when they claimed everything had been deleted... Their content moderation strategy is based entirely on volunteer moderators. You can keep claiming that AWS is just trying to deplatform conservatives but that's just not what happened.

No. That life is sadly dead and gone, the damage of politics / identity politics as most dominant identity, bias enforcing algorithms and creepy behavioural psychology manipulation as “user experience” has not just corrupted the internet permanently but likely how we see and deal with one another online also.
I think parent meant they both have same "truth" but pissed that they cannot have all the eyeballs.
I think part of why the signed apps system feels onerous to me is that I can't really trust it for the things that matter most.

Even if I'm assuming no exploits, everything working as intended, the permissions don't map well to what I care about.

I don't really care which app has access to the camera, I care about what gets done with the recording (or even metadata/inferences from the images) or about it taking pictures at surprising times. Some fitness tracker needs a lot of data, which is fine as long as they aren't selling it to third parties.

I would love the feature if it was something I could rely on, with audits of the client code, backend infrastructure, transparency in regards to data use, etc. As is installing software is still caveat emptor.
