> But if “planning and executing crimes” is the standard by which platforms should be shut down

Planning an executing crimes is the standard by which those doing so should be shut down. Ideally, by the actor as close as possible and able to do so with minimal collateral damage.

But a second-order platform that determines a first-order platform is systematically incapable or unwilling to do that does not act improperly in cutting service to the first order platform .

Surely then it is much simpler/cheaper to ban fascists and delete content that incites violence?

Unless of course... you aren't really a social platform, and what you really want to be is a fascism platform. Parler pretending to be social media is transparent as glass. There's a fabricated narrative that "right wing ideas" are being censored which is simply untrue. Twitter does not care if you post that you think healthcare should be private. But Twitter obviously does care when people start spreading objectively false information with the express aim of inciting violence.
I agree, what for?

I would rather reduce the wages of those richer than SWEs by taxing them more and using that to reduce housing prices, increase wages of health workers and educational staff, and pay for more social programs to get the poor out of their misery.

Optimally, it's my firm belief that we should be working towards UBI to reduce bullshit jobs everywhere. I want people to be able to work on things that matter and things they care about, while living in a place they care about and for without having to constantly sweat about money.

If European SWEs wanted to raise their wages, we would have to unionize and demand a greater share of revenue. Also, we would have to vote for politicians that want to force large companies to pay their fair share in taxes. Google, Amazon, apple and others have a leg up because they can make billions without paying our countries their due taxes.
That's how every ARM server project ends. This is not going to be different.
There's quite a gap to be filled between the current US situation and "everyone has a house with ocean view". You might not be able (and not want) to bring inequality to 0, that doesn't mean the current level can't be lowered a good deal with good solutions. And yes, education can scale a lot - it's just that many gatekeepers don't want that. The story of humankind is making exclusive things available for everyone.
If you have children, you lose out on child benefit between 60k and 70k, which adds an equivalent 10% in that margin.

Between 100 and 120k there is also the loss of personal allowance, which results in a marginal tax rate of 62% in that bracket. If you have children between the ages of 3 and 4, you also lose out on 15 hours/week childcare, resulting in that marginal tax rate hitting 89%

Not cheap if USD keeps falling compared to EUR. My income dropped about 12% since the last peak. Not that I'm complaining, but given the current USD circulation I'm thinking it might lose 50% of value in the next years.

I’m doing substantially better than before. Now I have been working from home for decades so that hasn’t changed. I have an online business that went from slow decline to growing noticeably.

But the truth is I have thrived for kind of a dumb reason. I have been paranoid all my life and by the time Covid hit I was ready for everything. Somehow the fact that my family was totally prepared lifted me out of a depression I have been in for a long time.

To be clear, it is not that I am happy others are hurting. I think there was some kind of unconscious bit flipping where my slightly embarrassing habit of expecting the worst paid off.

Also I sold my office and bought an insanely beautiful farm 5 minutes from my house so I am over the moon about that.

That is an american take on censorship.

Racial discrimination is a crime.

No one has been banned from Twitter for being black, or jewish.

You see now how absurd that argument is?

If you go into a restaurant and start screaming at people that the election was rigged, or waving a nazi flag, or telling everyone they should storm the kitchen to demand gluten free pasta, they will kick you the fuck out.
EU would very likely be delighted to have an excuse to ban Twitter and start their own clone.

Obviously, this is here and now because of Trump.

My vantage point is Europe and I remember the Bush era, and I have seen this article before too. Bush came across as dumb, true ( I am looking for another word, something like not too smart ).

Northern Western media lean heavily towards US Democrats, I remember Reagan basically being described as the devil. In the same vain, Trump is painted as an imbecile.

The question I ask people who share these beliefs is : do you really think you can win the presidency of the US when you are below average? Of course not.

edit : dim might be the word indeed, borrowed from sibling comment.
AFAIK yes. This is why I never get people that use AWS. DigitalOcean or any other VPS provider for that matter gives you a flat monthly rate so you know there will never be any surprises. Why take the risk?

Interestingly, in Poland, it's the renter who is responsible for taking care of all problems, except structural ones and perhaps stuff like mold. Everything else is on the renter, and he is expected to return the house in "no worse" condition on the lease's end - meaning, repairing all the white goods in the house if they break etc.

Yeah, absolutely. There's still a lot of excellent engineering being done at Intel that you can't find elsewhere. It's not like Apple where their core product had eroded into irrelevance, they were making tons of undifferentiated products and they literally had nothing of value except the dying embers of fan loyalty to sustain them.

Amongst other things:

- SGX is really far ahead of AMD SEV. The latter is probably easier to sell because it's marketed as "drop in" (encrypts whole VMs), but SEV has been repeatedly hacked or shipped with obvious gaping design holes that they patch later and call features. SGX is a lot more focused, a lot more flexible and frankly a lot more secure.

- Optane NVRAM is completely unique, as far as I know. It's only 10x slower than DRAM which is nothing, but it's persistent! It totally changes the whole IO hierarchy.

- AVX512 / DLBoost are able to hold their own against mid-range GPUs for some AI tasks, which is impressive and useful.

- Their core chips are still very fast. AMD chips are selling more for less, which is a good position for them to be in, and TSMC's process advantage is helping them out for now. But they don't have a truly massive edge in tech like Apple's competitors had when Jobs returned.

- Intel have a long tail of obscure features that AMD doesn't, although it's often hard to know this. SGX and AVX512 are high profile but there are others that are less well known.

I don't count side channels as an issue because it's also an issue for all their competitors, and frankly I found the near single-minded focus on Intel by the security community to be rather misleading. I even read a side channels paper that admitted they suspected AMD had the same problem but they didn't bother to check simply because they didn't have access to any AMD hardware in the first place, which was unusually honest.

Apple's M1 is very impressive in its space, but for high performance cases like servers it's only quad-core - you can't use the little low power cores for much. Apple have shown no interest in making server parts for a long time, and Apple's engineering is bespoke so it tells us nothing about what other ARM vendors can do. So in that space it's still just AMD vs Intel and Intel is a long way from being on its back yet.

This is good example of how browser APIs have gotten better:

// Edge 12
document.querySelector('.class').remove();

// Edge 17
document.querySelector('.class').after(...);

Where jQuery shines - but also hides a lot of complexity- is when operating on an array of elements, e.g. if you want to remove all elements with a certain class.
$1 per user/year sounds about right. I use Telegram more than any other chat app. People send lots of media (and even large files) and Telegram archives them forever. One group Telegram I’m in is 6 years old and has 500+ VIDEOS (and 10,000s of images) permanently archived in it.

I’d estimate I cost over $10/yr to telegram.
> what principle prevents Amazon from arsing some other group that we agree with?

Honestly, none. It's their business and they can handle it however they want.

What you can do (and this is exactly what Kolmisoppi was suggesting) is build your platform to work without relying on other people's business.

I'm happy that companies like Amazon don't want to get associated with people who organized a failed coup. That should be the bare minimum. But there is no law which forces you to be hosted on Amazon if you want to be on the Internet. You can self-host. You can buy/rent servers in another country, where what you are doing doesn't have direct consequences which might lead people to want to get away from you. Use the blockchain, use torrent, develop your own P2P protocol. Those people just got locked out from the easy way, something they should have expected to happen (and plan for) since day one.

We require software to be resilient because it is used as a building blocks for large (sometimes exteremely so) systems. The deeper in the stack something is, the more costly the failure. A human may not input any of those strings. Another software (which does not reason in any way about the data it is processing, unlike the human) may do whatever.
Assuming I'm going to need the complexity more than 1-2 times in my source code, I'm going to be writing my own abstraction. Which takes time, needs tests writing, and I am going to make a typo or other silly mistake somewhere.

Run into a couple of examples of such complexity, and the dependency is well worthwhile.

A jQuery that can be tree-shaken would be awesome, as there are parts I use regularly and others I have never used. Ironically the -lite bundle leaves outs parts I use frequently...

> I've always felt this, I've never seen a business actually _do_ this.

I do this. My business has linear growth (which means if you look at year-to-year percentage increases, they decrease over time). I'm very happy with it — I have no pressure from VCs to achieve crazy user growth at all cost, no pressure to show exponential growth. The business works well, the customers are happy, things are good!

There are many businesses like this, they just tend not to be the fashionable ones. You won't read a techcrunch article about one of them. Press will call them disparagingly "lifestyle businesses".

And yet — these are the businesses that make most sense for the users! In a company like that, business goals are 100% aligned with user goals. The business makes money if the users continue paying the subscription fees, which they will do if they are happy and get value from the software.
Wow, just yesterday I was thinking and discussing about how and why to ban tiktok for my kids, but this is great example of the tech being used to create something amazing! Really melts my heart when I see how humans can create marvelous things together, spontaneously!
A few anecdotes from my side:
- I had one colleague and a former boss, both staunch Democrats, who knew GW Bush from Yale; they both independently mentioned to me how likeable he is in person vs. how bad he's in his policies. This comes in contracts to Obama (who my ex-boss had met in a fundraising dinner) who's super likeable/charismatic publicly but a bit distant/aloof in person.
- As for the WMDs in Iraq, it's the classic intelligence fallacy; "send my people to find evidence for X", and guess what, your minions _do_ find plenty of data to support their boss's view! This happens to all organisations from govt. to companies - and will be only made worse with "Big Data" and "AI"
GWB involved the US in expensive wars. What was the benefit of those wars? The defense industry could innovate and the military earned experience... but, was that the best thing to do with trillions of dollars in resources?

Allegedly, the real reason was to control oil. But was a war necessary to achieve that?

While the US spent trillions in war, China invested in infrastructure, manufacturing, education, etc. And as a result they're now catching up.
I think it boils downs to the objectives. Was the objective perhaps to reinforce US supremacy?
Forth is not just another language for the sake of it. I am currently learning Forth from Leo Brodie's excellent books "Starting Forth" and "Thinking Forth". It actually changes the way you think. Just as Lisp does - almost a feeling of "a new planet swims into his ken".

The main feature of the Forth style is to write lots of 1 to 2 line functions, in such a way that at the high-level, you have essentially a domain-specific language that looks like exactly what you want a program to look like - for example, "RINSE WASH CYCLE SPIN STOP" for a washing machine program, and "RINSE WASH RINSE WASH CYCLE SPIN STOP" for an extra clean option.

People claim that once you learn Forth, you start programming Forth-style in other languages like C, Python etc. I can already see the appeal.

While I agree that one should remain suspicious and be vocal about privacy violations and security issues, I find your attitude of continuing to attack Apple inappropriate.

Apple competitors Google and Microsoft which control the great majority of OS installs both for mobile and desktop don't even pretend to care about privacy. I have collected over the years reports about dozens of underhanded tactics they use to manipulate users into sharing data, when they're not downright forcing them to do it.

Currently Google is showing in the EU a modal pop-up asking users to accept to be tracked or fuck off to a labyrinth of "See more" and "Other options" which are obviously violating the GDPR. They got fined five times already for GDPR violations.

Microsoft have told their non-enterprise customers to bugger off and learn to live with telemetry. They're actively working around people blocking telemetry and they're being investigated for these practices.

How about a thank you that at least someone at Apple listens to their customers?
I do not own anything substantial. Saving for a house in the capital city would take about 15 years of frugal living as a programmer. I could also take a loan.

What I also dislike is the tax prepayments for business owners, which is basically legal theft. The government takes tax in advance and then gives you back the money if you overpaid after about a year. I wouldn't mind this if taxes were low.

Imagine being a business owner and there's a period of irregular income yet the advance tax payment arrives and bankrupts you.

The taxes here are just insanely high and everything is insanely inefficient. Healthcare, education and municipal services.

After moving from Croatia to Austria, it's much worse in Austria, a wealthier country but still, I see all of the same patterns of inefficiency and they are even worse because Croatia can't afford being so inefficient.
Maybe slightly trite of me to reply only to the title, but there's actually a rich and interesting study of peace and peace processes which is more relevant than war, which only signifies their failure.

That makes no sense. Intel's designs are fine, industry leading actually. Intel's biggest problem by far is the repeated inability to launch new process nodes. It makes no sense for Intel to give up on what it's good at to focus on the part where it's struggling.
From my experience talking to the people whose job it is to provide support and services to those who abuse substances. Most experts in substance abuse normally say Alcohol is the worst of all the substances. With many stating, it causes more havoc in families on scale than heroin. More people die because of Alcohol, not just from drinking it but from drink drivers, drunken fights, etc. The general violence caused by it is more than any other drug. The amount of families dealing with alcohol abuse with their family is more than any other substance. Drugs like heroin cause crime problems and family problems not because of what the drug does but because of the cost of the drug. It generally causes lots of petty crimes instead of murder, rape, etc.

The vast majority of companies are in the business of providing you something you need or want, be it a service or a product or both, in exchange for monetary compensation. That's kind of the definition of "serve", to provide a service.

Am I right that thinking of everything as waves isn't a bad mental model?

If everything is a field, then light is simply a three dimensional wave in that field. This makes the double slit experiment seem much easier to grasp:

A single photon (which is a wave with a discreet amount of energy) travels through both slits at the same time. This causes the wave to interfere with itself and when it hits the wall it registers as a single point, as the photon must always be a discreet quantum of energy.

To me, this makes intuitive sense and removes a lot of the mystery and confusion that gets invoked whenever pop-sci writers explain the experiment. They tend to say something along the lines of: photons are like billiard balls, so they can only go through one slit or the other, but if you don't detect which slit it goes through it seems to go through both.

Am I close to what's actually going on, or am I way off?
