230 is a legal protection afforded to platforms which host user-generated content. It absolves them of legal liability for the content posted by their users, providing they moderate illegal content properly.

> Should 230 remove the right for companies/individuals/platforms to have a say in the content they publish?

If they wish to be afforded the legal protections offered by 230, yes. It is a choice - not an obligation. A trade-off.

> Should platforms not be able to make decisions about how they moderate their own platforms?

They should be able to, but, again, accepting the responsibility of being a platform rather than a publisher means that there should be limits to what can be considered inappropriate. There is certainly no easy answer for where that line is drawn, but it does need to be drawn. A heavy-handed moderation policy can effectively become publishing requirements.
I'm tired of NN stuff being opaque to me. Tell me, how do you do this? What do you use? Is this something I must program myself, or is there somebody else's application out there that does it anyway and better?
Other way round: if a company can market cars so well they're selling out faster than they can be built, it doesn't matter how well they actually work once they've arrived at the customer. The market cap is down to the effectiveness of Tesla marketing.

Shouldn't you also factor rent into your calculations? I don't know how high it is on 200k property, but I assume it's significantly higher than 5k/year. Owning a house is risky for the reasons you've mentioned, but might give you higher returns.

"..a bizarre problem that was clearly caused by thermal issues..Tesla appeared to mostly fix this problem with its "cabin overheat protection" feature (which it sold as being to protect dogs and children, despite the fact that it held the temperature at +40C which is about the temperature where a child's organs will start shutting down)"

So they chose to intentionally reduce the car's range when parked in hot weather (e.g. a day hike in a forest where you need the range the most to return home) because they didn't get an automotive grade (Grade 2 instead of Grade 4) screen like every other auto manufacturer? wow..

So, do people think Trump is going to be a one-off, or is it going to become a regular occurrence that politicians that are deemed to be beyond the pale get digitally annihilated?

And if the latter, only losing politicians, or politicians still actively running for office?

Not having access to social networks would obviously be a huge disadvantage for a candidate. Arguably this precedent could in practice give the big tech co's something like a soft-veto on any political candidate.
> It is unlikely US will lose power soon. But it is also unlikely US will hold power forever and ever.

Since US may lose power to an authoritarian regime four times its population, US should act sooner or later while it can do so effectively, and the question is when and how.

> It is okay to be conservative, but it is wrong to be paranoid.

As to whether US is acting paranoid, you may be interested in the resources listed in another thread [1].

Those resources argue (agreeable or not) that China has been playing the long game, declaring ambitious goals (to dominate production of key technologies by 2025, build a world class military by 2035, and be a superpower by 2049) and consistently acting towards those goals (including technology transfer). Some strategists suggest protecting the technological lead and outrun China on innovation [2].

For a war to be supported by people (soldiers, and in democracies, civilians as well), they need to view the other side as the Other side. The Enemy. The Others.

Nationalism is about building a strong us/them split, about having people internalize clear categories of Our Nation and The Others. This directly facilitates war.

> For the most part, yes.

No.

> Lots of the harm comes from the fact they're not legal and cheaply available.

I fully agree with this.

> For example, heroin, I would say nearly all the harm comes from the fact it's not legal. Overdoses are prevented because they can happen in safe places where people will notice.

Even if that is true, the harm that does not come from the fact that it's illegal would be magnified a hundredfold if it became as widespread as alcohol (which is, please keep that in mind, the scenario I was talking about). That's not hyperbole: Accodding to the European Drug Report 2018 (https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/system/files/publications/8585/...), the prevalence of injecting drugs (chiefly heroin) is between 0 and 0.9%, which consumption of alcohol is pretty damn near 100%.

> Considering tobacco is more addictive, and we have way less crime to buy tobacco, it seems logical to assume crime would drop if drug addicts didn't have to spend 20-30 a day on drugs. Then you have the violence and anti-social behaviour which for most drugs is non-existent.

Even if that is not exaggerated (which I strongly supect it is), those are not the only kinds of harm: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/hero...

Because only one cop was murdered in a fashion that was probably unintentional, he was beat up. But even so that’s not representative of the whole. Also death threats happen all the time. And I know everyone thinks these people are idiots but the fact none of those Molotov cocktails burned down buildings, and none of those guns shot people, proved they weren’t trying to murder. Because if they were lots of people would have been murdered. That guy in Las Vegas is someone who wanted to murder. And lots of people were murdered when he fired from that hotel. These people did none of that. They are all idiots true but that’s about it.
One of the highlighted characteristic of this recording, is it is a live conversation, not something rehearsed.

So, while what you said may be true for radio broadcasts, I am not sure it is at play here even if the interviewee knows he is being recorded.
Basically no chance of this. The crazy thing is people have been yelling about deplatforming since the very beginning of his presidency, and he used his position to...do absolutely nothing.

The ironic thing is that despite all of the hysteria about him as the "orange hitler," he was completely toothless as president. It was bizarre to watch him tweet complaining about people and things that he himself could change, as though he were not president, but just some dude on twitter.

Now he's not even that.
Known purity, quality control, known quantity. If you actually know how much it’ll take you to get high you’re not going to overdose because you coverage got a stronger than average batch. You certainly aren’t going to get fentanyl sold as heroin.

Wouldn’t stop overdoses entirely obviously.
Interestingly enough, I wrote above about this as well but with the opposite sentiment. The Spitzensteuersatz of 42% is applicable for income from 57k€ onwards. That's hardly rich and hardly deserving of so much tax. Meanwhile I could earn millions through investments and dividends and would only pay 25% capital gains tax. Also, 25% sounds ridiculously low when you add up the income tax, social contributions, sales tax, capital gains tax etc. Not to forget yes the 7%/14% you pay for health insurance. Or you have cherry-picked a family of 4 with one person earning 45k€ a year and drawing the most Kindergeld possible.

Hey! OC here

I save a bunch of interesting links by liking tweets, but after time passes it's almost impossible to find them. So I made a small project to store them on the cloud and make searches on them easily

BMW’s Digital Key Plus to let iPhones unlock the iX from a pocket or bag
"BMW has announced an upgraded version of its mobile car key technology dubbed Digital Key Plus. It promises to allow iPhone owners to unlock select BMW cars without having to take out their phones. The feature relies on ultra wideband (UWB) which has been included in Apple’s flagship iPhones since the iPhone 11 thanks to the U1 chip. Digital Key Plus will debut on the all-electric BMW iX which launches later this year in Europe and next year in the US."
Wait how? It's quite contrasty, plenty for comfortable readability, more so than many other sites. Even without my glasses (strong astigmatism and near sightedness), this is not a bad site.

The font differs, as usual, significantly between platforms and browsers though. Is it possible that you have poor black levels and maybe an overly blurred font rendition?

Astigmatism could also contribute here, as it leads to lines in certain orientations (e.g. vertical) being harder to distinguish than others—this can severely limit font legibility.

For syncing I set up „FolderSync Pro“ to automatically sync between my WebDav server for PDFs and also automatically upload the notes folder (where the explicitly exported notes are saved). It is just too bad that the later are only rasterized PDFs whereas if you enable a sync service from the OS like Dropbox, the notes are uploaded as vector PDFs.

One thing I am not happy about is the constant phoning home to Chinese servers (multiple domains incl. alibaba) This can be disabled via NetGuard but then you also lose the ability to automatically upload the handwritten vectorized notes to Dropbox.

I studied French for many years in high-school and college. I've since forgotten much of it, but I was able to easily follow this "uneducated" accent. At times I found myself not even needing to read the subtitles. I had forgotten some of the meanings, but I could pick out the words and structure. Compare this to when I was learning French: most of the spoken material was in a more modern accent and was spoken much more quickly (as is de rigueur). I wonder if some of these older accents may be useful in teaching.

Similarly I've been learning Spanish the past few years, and the most comprehensible accents are those from Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras--some of the poorest Spanish-speaking countries. I cannot for the life of me understand a heavy Mexican or Chilean accent, but I can easily follow Guatemalan. It's interesting from a socio-linguistic perspective if nothing else.

You don't have to be French to understand French. There are other countries where French is the main language, and you can speak French as your second (or third, ..) language.

You can use DeepL or Google Translate to translate to a language you understand.
You learned well from the 20th century,a time when mass communications were invented and when they were almost exclusively operated by the politicians in charge. The politicians knew what was good for their dumb populace and the populace listened attentively. And acted accordingly.

Problems with this approach were taught to 6th graders in the United States. Now the wisdom of it is taught instead. All for one and one for all.

They don't care and don't want that. But the government could host their announcements, comments and videos.

Using twitter/youtube is the same as stating that we will put all information for our citizens in <SomeRandomNewspaper>.

Of course then it's unclear why some elected official couldn't have their own private account anywhere on the web, and it's really hard to tell what's job related and what is not for somebody who is ranking high enough.

One way or another, as it's been for ages, money rules the world and with quick technological advances corporations are ending up with more of it than governments. I just can't quite figure out China in that viewpoint of mine.
> So does that mean if I am hosting a dinner at my home on my own private property and someone starts spewing hate at people

Well, if that "private property home" is the only place where people in your surroundings can get something to eat; and if that someone "spew at others" but says something vile quietly to his friends, so that only people actively listening in on the conversation hear it, then - maybe you should not be able to police what that person says.

Only POTUS can silence POTUS.

POTUS has the biggest bully pulpit in the world. whitehouse.gov, daily press briefing, C-SPAN, etc.

No third party should serve as alternate bully pulpit, allowing a democratically elected leader to speak directly to their audience, bypassing the fourth estate.

I'm not saying Twitter was right to shut down POTUS. I'm saying never should have hosted POTUS in the first place. Further, no leader should be allowed to speak as a private individual.

If Twitter wants to feature POTUS, then let Twitter attend the daily presser along with all the other reporters and journalists.

Everyone is responsible for allowing this undemocratic violation of norms. Social medias are just the one that profited most.

Yes, cannabis is an example where evidence seems to support the idea that full legalization, while still causing some harm, is probably less harmful than criminalization, and might even overall reduce harm if it partially replaces alcohol.

But it's a bit of an outlier in that regard, among illegal drugs.
It’s legal for these congress men and women to carry firearms. In many states you can carry a firearm anywhere, openly. That’s because there are not federal laws baring that.

These Congress men and woman were legally able to do this. It was and is illegal to stop an elected Congress person from entering chambers.
