> Its time we recognize the power these platforms have.

We have. That's why millions of people have pushed these companies to take a stand against hate. None of these companies are doing this because they want to lose money. If they thought it would be profitable long-term, they would keep doing it. It's the invisible hand of the market that you're really upset with here.
This is sound advice that I can definitely get behind. However anecdotally it's not what I've observed to be true. In my above mentioned example, the people with the most and strongest relationships throughout the org were not the most upwardly mobile, nor was there a correlation with positive attitude.

Rather, aligning yourself with the correct (choose wisely) new executive and being a yes-person even to things that you know might have long-lasting negative impacts on the company (and thus your peers) was too often the winning strategy. Even then, it's navigating a political minefield, and one misstep could spell disaster.

The approach tends to put personal gain ahead of the well being of the company. I've seen too many people get ahead by setting vast fires and then walking away. That's not something I can get behind.
Every time I travel abroad, I'm amazed by how much Huawei has penetrated every major market except U.S.
People on the left (and right) have been booted off platforms for years, so I don't know about "eventually".
I just love seeing Atlas Obscura here on HN. They're always a good read. This is no exception.

That first photo collection made me laugh: "Clockwise from top-left: Rasakadali or ney poovan bananas; a plantation of Kerala’s beloved nendran bananas; and ducks on the farm."

Just a seemingly random picture of some ducks he's raising on a banana farm.
It could be argued that FAANG-type corporations are now the centres of political power.

If you want to go _very_ cheap and dirty you can get some FlexibleLOM/PCIe adapters [1] and some HP FlexibleLOM NICs [2]. This results in a 2x 10G NIC for around ~$15, including the adapter.

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?

I feel like we've all been a bit brainwashed by the government in our notion that "free speech" must have limits. I very much doubt that that is true. I think the speech part should always be 100% free. Of course any crimes that derive from it are and will always been fully enforceable. I just question whether or not the speech itself should be viewed as illegal, or something that should be regulated.

Obviously all of the insidious planning and hatred that presumably occurred on Parler is abhorrent. I think I can hate all of those things without believing that the site should be censored.
This looks very neat.

Why do you require a GitHub account to test it?

What is wrong with that explanation?
Up to a certain point. No amount of money would prevent congress from toughening bank regulations after the financial crisis. I also doubt that the republicans are going to give big tech companies a pass when they come back to power.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted because you're completely right. The petty legalism around the issue does nothing to further the conversation. The 1st amendment is about the US government censoring people. It doesn't own the concept of free speech as a whole in the same way the constitution doesn't own the idea of God given rights, or democracy, or republic, or numerous other concepts mentioned.
We've built a society without physical public squares, for the most part, though, and substituted them with the virtual.

>a retaliatory move by a regime trying to silence the opposition. I don't think this has too many parallels with the current US events

You're right, in the US the government doesn't have the right to shut down private businesses because of the political beliefs of the users, so the hard left gets Big Tech to operate as a cartel to do it for them.
And the US government should bring a case against them. I don't think you'll find me inconsistent in that thought, I also argued an ISP yesterday that blocked FB is fully within its rights to do so.

Personally I think we need anti-trust action against a lot of larger tech companies and second that they have now opened the door on further regulation regarding content moderation. I think getting rid of Section 230 entirely would be a mistake but I won't be surprised to see it amended in some form.
Ask HN: Open Sourcing Everything
Hello people. I am CTO of a small online travel company. We provide our users to book different types of trips.

Last a few days, I am thinking an idea about publishing our whole codebase as open source but I have 2 concerns:

1 - Security issues: publishing server side codebase can make our security problems open for others to attack. I feel closed codes are more safe especially for the first days.

2 - Business issues: our competitors can make some benefits by copying our technology for free, it may hurt our business part.

Benefits of open sourcing everything:

1 - Building trust: our customers and partners will know (or able to know) what they are using, what data we are collecting.

2 - Building stronger codebase: opening codes into front of the lots of people will give extra motivation to our team to build cleaner, more secure, stronger codebase.

3 - Allowing others to contribute: anyone who is interested our libraries, codebase can contribute our projects in someway(pull request, creating issues, etc.) which enables us to see from another eye.

I just want to hear your ideas, advices about this. What do you think? Thanks.
Well he absolutely supported a movement that turned violent in many American cities so yes.

In fact he and his running-mate have both played with this support to attract more votes.
Any solutions for doing the reverse, namely running arm64 binaries on x86_64? Use case: building ARM software packages (like Docker containers) on x86_64 CI servers.
If I convince you falsely and knowingly that someone has tortured and murdered your child and I tell you "we can't let that happen, the courts won't do anything, we have to fight much harder, he's at this restaurant right now, you should go" and you go and kill or maim that person, am I not responsible in your mind?
Casual reminder that the slippery slope fallacy is ultimately a fallacy.

I think the issue isn't really controlled speech with these platforms but more often a loss of control of the narrative. They are ill-preppared to deal with hate speech and often will act as the very propagators of it. (See FB in 2016). The real issue to be found is the massive control they have in light of their blindness to the context of their product and inability to enact real censorship of things that are truly intolerant. Personally looking from the outside in, I think that makes them a long-term risk to themselves rather than just a risk to society. It's worth noting that this will likely lead to a platform that intentionally 'free' to intolerant behavior that will compete and likely compete well as it will be additive to those looking for hate.
The tiny fraction of the populous who spend hours a day on Twitter might have panic attacks, the rest of us who realize that Twitter (and social media in general) is a cesspool of toxicity and who never use it would carry on like normal.
Downvotes here sadden me.

If you insist on dehumanizing people you disagree with, violence is the only destination.

We have got to stop demonizing people who don’t share our perspective.

The outcome is predictable, avoidable and undesirable. Maintain the current course and you will pull everyone over the cliff with you.
"But private services are free to operate by different rules."

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.
>>I guess it’s theoretically possible to set up an arm of law enforcement whose sole job would be to monitor all social media, along with a judicial division that could stand at the ready to issue court orders for comment takedowns

I got that point (in your comment and in the paper), but that is just a lousy argument, the _harming_ problem is fed the _halting_ problem, and since the second is undecidable the first it also is. So in essence the argument boils down to my original point.

The Domino's website. If I want to order a single pizza I have to click through like 12+ pages. They have a page for each question!

- I want to order pizza

- Delivery or checkout?

- Which pizza?

- Extra chesse?

- Modify ingredients?

- Go to checkout or order more stuff?

- But wouldn't you like one of these desserts?

- How about soda?

- Here's your order, click to continue

- Would you like to donate?

- Oh you wanna pay now? Input your password again. We'll silently screw the whole process if you type it wrong.

- Now you can finally click to continue

- Want SMS? Click one last time.

They could just, you know, put safe defaults on everything and let me change them if I want. I am less likely to order pizza form them again just because it takes so long on their website. Compare that to how easy it is to buy something from Amazon. Heck, even Grubhub is miles easier.

This was confusing. The narrator leads by saying that cities are ponzi schemes and supports this by showing a cash flow graph, but that graph doesn't seem to be grounded with any examples. I find it surprising that long term maintenance costs more than the long term tax revenue growth. I would've liked to see more evidence that these cities really are unsustainable.
You could argue that people are a more complicated system than any software system you would see in a talented shop, and people change in real time.

The average tenure of a sysadmin at Google is 2yrs. They burn out. In the USA, the shortening of work weeks and work hours, the reduction of unfair responsibilities, and the overall improvement in health and safety for working conditions are all directly attributable to union action.

Googlers suffered Apple's Techtopus salary-fixing collusion. In the USA, collective bargaining is an important component of breaking wage-fixing situations, and "labor union" is legal shorthand for such collective-bargaining groups.

Google routinely appropriates code from its employees using a Microsoft Clause, which reassigns employee-produced code to Google unless the employee can rigorously prove that Google had nothing whatsoever to do with the production of the code. Thousands of commits are appropriated every year, and there is an internal lawyer-driven process for automating the appropriation. Labor unions of artists have successfully attacked such practices in the USA before.

Google owns Youtube and Doubleclick, large advertising systems which both inspire great amounts of abuse and also themselves are abusive tools of user coercion. If Googlers wanted for Google employees to not damage their mental health by working in user moderation for hours on end, or wanted Google to be less of a part of our societal disinformation and spam problem by reforming advertising policies, then a union would be the natural place to start that argument.

It sounds like you've never worked at Google before. Just because Google does not threaten its employees with regular violence, does not mean that Google is a stellar employer above reproach and without need for redress.

Your overall attitude towards unions reminds me of a classic movie scene where disgruntled and confused folks wonder whether the Romans ever did anything for them. Here [0] is but one of many lists enumerating exactly what unions did for us.

From my perspective, we're still talking about the actual events of Jan. 6, rather than whatever inane thing Trump would have tweeted this morning to deflect that conversation. In my mind, that's a HUGE win that far outweighs any backlash. I also, personally, wonder how overstated that backlash actually is. I don't know anyone IRL that is lamenting the fact that Trump lost his Twitter account.

I think the appropriate way for the employees to have a say in the direction of the company is probably to give them voting shares. Otherwise the employees may end up disagreeing with a decision that the shareholders voted on and that seems like a recipe for a bad situation. I could be wrong, but I believe the officers and directors of a C corporation (unlike a B corp) owe a fiduciary duty to the shareholders so to some extend they must prioritize growth over social purposes

Edit: to clarify, letting the employees of a public corporation decide the direction/priorities would be like if the employees of a non-profit had a union which could force the non-profit to change from planting trees to something unrelated like washing dogs. The people who donated money would probably be upset that they were deceived about what the donation would be used to accomplish.

> I think we'll see the angry mob go end up at less discoverable, but more robust distributed platforms. Which is a shame, because it means eventually, when I say that you can find me on Mastadon/Scuttlebutt/etc, the average person will say, "Oh, you're on that extremist network?"

This is what polarizing actions do, they force people to choose sides. And as the American right coalesces into two camps, pro-Trump and everyone else, the left is forced to harden around it's majority mindset. And that mindset includes, platforms and megaphones aren't free. The people that built Silicon Valley are liberals, and until called on to protect those liberal values, they'll allow (and make money from) everybody else.

If the finger-quote conservatives want their own platform with which they can plot the downfall of American democracy unrestricted, they're going to need their own infrastructure and their own apps and, it's starting to look like soon, their own banks and financial industries to handle their money.

You have ANY idea how hard it is to get a bank to overlook a pecuniary interest for a moral one? Apparently you have to erect a gallows on the Capitol lawn.
