There are directly legal and historical bases for forcing companies to give someone a "platform" to speak, as I have already stated: telephones, mail, and public forums.

The debate is about how much social media resembles those communication media and how much of the philosophy of treatment in one situation is transferable from one context to another.

You cannot disentangle the right to speak from the right to listen, and that is why so many people are frustrated: their ability to listen to their chosen speaker was taken away from them. Which is my only point (having not given my opinion on where I stand): accusing opposition as demanding to be heard and have their voice amplified is uncharitable and misunderstands the extent of the debate.

That is the stupidest thing I’ve heard of. While providing some flexibility it increases the cost for customers who don’t subscribe.
Perhaps, but how does that limit one's freedom to express one's opinion? It only limits one's power, not freedom in forming it.

Having the freedom and the power to do things are two entirely different things. A mute and deaf man is considerably hampered in the power to express his opinion, but not in his freedom to.

Similarly, freedom to own property is an entirely different matter to whether a citizen have the capital to purchase it.
that was unexpected. but I guess I should have expected it given how much islam is iconoclastic. it's probably muslims protesting the use of the name of allah in email addresses that caused it (alternate explanation: the word was raising too much false positives in Xkeyscore)
No. I'm fine with someone orating their opinions. Blogging about them, writing to newspapers with them. What should not be allowed is that they are framed as factual statements, repeated by those in public offices or used to make policy.

That's very simplistic view on military.

Think of a corporations that make all decisions at top level vs corporations that at the top level mostly worry about creating correct environment for the individual contributors and low level managers to be able to make right decisions, individually.

US military won the IIWW war because it created that right environment.

Mobilizing people (people who are not interested in achieving goal are almost useless), keeping spirit (for example US military will always do what's necessary to save individual solders vs Japanese that treated soldiers mostly as expendable), ensuring that people are promoted on merit and not birth, ensuring people are trained and are given right tools.

All those things are so that soldiers can make the right decisions, on the spot.

It is naive to think that a general can say whatever he wants and make it happen. It will only happen if all those people want to make it happen and are prepared to make it happen.
Why do you say that? Anecdotally there are tons of cannabis listings, and from a quick search I found this study [0] (Fig. 3) showing cannabis was easily a plurality of drug sales on one darknet market (31%, with the next most common being dissociatives+psychadelics, which is also a broader category, at 22%).

Does Germany not also play along with Turkey in this to some extent to salvage it's diplomatic relations?

The Dutch government has only recently taken a public stance on admitting it. Prior, they purposefully avoided talking of the issue as to placate Turkey and soothe diplomatic relations therewith.
This matters very little to the one being censored. For them, that is indeed the “final stop,” as it were. As it stands the warnings and fact-checkers on places like Facebook serve only as annoynances to most people, and proof to them that the system is both authoritarian and wrong. This is also why so many want to fact check the fact checkers, and so on... In the end, it has just given a cause for a lot of people to unite against.
Accessibility is a non-issue unless your intent is to become the morality police. You don't get to decide for others what speech they have access to. It's actually absolutely none of your business what conversations others are having, and what debates they're engaging in.

You can also ignore advertising and social media in very much the same way you ignore nudity. Hate speech is not "piped" into our eyes and ears. Is there lots of it? Yes. Are you forced to engage with it? No. You don't report your cousin Dave to the morality police for racist or sexist comments over the dinner table, despite the fact that you're less likely to avoid hearing it than the hate speech on social media.

I think it really depends on the size and type of the app.

As someone who worked on large jQuery apps before React, I think most people would jump back into React or Vue in the first chance after seeing a non-trivial jQuery app. Not to mention there was a lot of "bloat" in those apps, too: Backbone, Bootstrap, Moment.js...

jQuery was amazing for small things, for landing pages, for some Bootstrap components here and there, and for sprinkling the page with progressive-enhanced features. And it still is probably the best choice.

But it was not a great fit for moderate-to-large apps. And it was a terrible fit for moderate-to-large apps that only consumed data from an API.

Not saying React and Redux are good, but I think at least the parts of React, Angular and Vue that replaced jQuery were definitely a step in the right direction.

I'm also not saying that "big apps" are the way to go. If I could I would go back to server-side rendered HTML and modern CSS, but it has become hard to find developers that are into it.
Yes exactly. People get up in arms about things they are told to get up in arms about. Many people either don't know how much of Europe's wealth is concentrated in old families, or don't care because they're not told to care.

For example, BMW. It is simply ugh. At least with US companies you know they'll do right by shareholders for better or for worse. If you invest in a German company you might as well be pissing your money away because they'll always do what's right for the heirs.

Bottom-line, if anyone feels they've been unjustifiably downvoted, or even "sour" for being downvoted, the feature is being followed by a negative experience for the user. If there is nothing that can be done to improve the experience, then that is the price you pay for the positives that feature brings (in this case moderation), but if there is something that could be done, then you have no excuses not to do them, if you are to put the user experience first.

What I would immediately do to improve the experience on HN:

1. As others have suggested, add a score for upvote/downvote total. So 50 upvotes and 51 downvotes = 101 points. Any points cancelled out could even be double Karma, or just the negative flipped to a positive. Engagement is worth valuing, and an upvote/downvote pair is healthy intellectual drama.

2. I would have a small list of keywords to select from displayed next to the comment title AFTER you click downvote. Downvoting should be a rare occasion (and I think it is), and adding one more step to add nuance to the downvote should be positive for the downvoter and the downvoted.

So a comment after downvotes would look like:

unabst 16 hours ago [–] troll 1 tone 2 incorrect 4 flagged dead

This could be done for upvotes too, but maybe make the selection optional.

I have a feeling on HN the shaming and bitterness of downvoting is not a bug but a feature. It's democratic, it's power to the user, it's fair, yada yada yada.

Personally, at this point I am certain downvoting features lead to polarization, toxicity, bullying, group think, hesitation of substantive discourse, and a lot of negativity with the experience. And all the notable platforms with downvote features have suffered.
If Ukraine legitimately has an average net salary of 2k for a SWE it's better than the actually good parts of the EU. I really, really doubt that this is true.
The fact that their competitors are as bad or worse in this regard does not make Apple saints - and this has all the hallmarks of an intentional addition to position Apple apps differently from the others, which is a classic Apple move.

Compromise in security and prviacy clearly has been deemed worth by someone at Apple before the stink was raised.
"This is implying there is always a Right™ answer or way to do something" suggests to me that you assert there is not a right answer when there certainly are in some cases. I definitely agree that some policies require nuance and changes with new data.

> So what happens if we have multiple theories that no one can accuse of being wrong because we simply don't have enough insight into some very complicated matters? Which one do we put in practice? Or do we wait years before we gather the data for it, by which time it might be irrelevant anyway

I wasn't addressing your statement that policy is often difficult to pin down, only the inference that there are no right answers.

Does anyone know what happened with the faulty door handles? There was a lawsuit in 2019 but I couldn't find any updates since then.

Two separate accidents in 2018-2019, Model S crashed, fire started, owner (and passenger in the second case) survived the crash but couldn't get out of the car because the flush electronic door handles didn't unlock and present themselves out. The police officer on scene couldn't open it to get them out. Both cases everyone inside the car burnt to death [1][2][3].

In all modern cars, including the Model S [4] the doors are supposed to automatically unlock on a crash or airbag deployment. I haven't heard this happening on any other car (not that many cars use those flush door handles anyway).

Radiative heat loss scales with the fourth power of temperature. I don't know what temperature the ISS radiators are but suppose they are around 300K. Then I think the radiative surface to keep something cool at 10K would need to be 30^4, or 810000 times larger per unit heat loss. So realistically I think you would need some kind of wacky very low temperature refrigeration to raise the temperature at the radiator, and then maybe radiate the heat into the lunar surface.
Folks in Norway would go to Sweden pre-COVID to buy alcohol. The in-country alcohol sales rose enough post-covid that the government is actually lowering the taxes on alcohol slightly, though whether it is enough to keep folks buying in Norway is debatable. I'd not be surprised if there wasn't a thriving black market even with all this.

> not only can we show that anti-vax beliefs are wrong

But can you? The CDC was supposed to publish reports every 2 years on child vaccinations, since 1986, in 2018 it came out that they never had. An independent peer-reviewed study found that the health of unvaccinated children was better than those of vaccinated [1][2]. For freedom of speech, you could argue that the studies are wrong, but you could argue that _any_ study is wrong, that's science and healthy skepticism. But then we would need to do more studies, something the CDC doesn't appear to want to do. Opposition spurs us on to find out more, to study more; science dies in unopposed silence.

The main point is-- sometimes we assume things that we really _don't_ know. We assume the evidence is all there for our side and there is none for the other side. The truth is usually more nuanced, both sides are partially right and partially wrong. The danger is attempting to silence others, even when we haven't looked at _their_ evidence. What we should do is let all sides speak, find the nuances and fuse together what is wrong. If all sides are allowed to fairly argue in the public, then there is no shame when someone is eventually found to be wrong. Otherwise we risk becoming little dictators by silencing those we "know to be wrong", but later find out that we deceived both ourselves and others, and did it by force and coercion.

We then become morally liable for the harm we have done, because we have arrogantly silenced what is true.

You've missed the point.

The biggest chilling factor to speech in the USA is that your employer will fire you because a mob decides you said something wrong. This cannot happen in the country I live. That I could make my employment grievances public and this would give reason to my employer to terminate me with cause is irrelevant to the fact that my employer cannot fire me for wrongspeak on facebook.

Edit: of course I can still feel social consequences since my colleagues can make it very clear they disagree with me or find my view abominable.

According to what the reporter is saying it seems to be an off-the-shelf bug with a microphone and SIM card (though I didn't see the SIM card myself - either it's on the underside of it or I didn't pay enough attention) and is powered off wires soldered to the batteries.

The reporter mentions that the circuit board touches the display and that it must somehow be able to monitor what's being displayed on it but I think he is mistaken given how difficult the task is (this would be a Tempest-style attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename) - why bother when you could just hook into the display connector and get the data out of there?).

In short it seems to be a microphone bug + GPS tracker, all powered off the iPhone's original battery (so that it's essentially always on as long as you keep your phone charged) but it doesn't seem to be accessing the iPhone's data or compromising its operation in any way.
At least they kept a physical volume knob, although apparently its just glued onto the screen and has virtual fingers that emulate a finger touching the screen.
The problem with inheritance taxes is that there are some crazy people who believe that the tax rate should be 100%.

There is also the big issue that you can just transfer most of the wealth well before death.

If I were to suggest an inheritance tax it would not be significantly higher than 30% but it should have a generous tax exemption for at least $10 million.

However, I personally do believe not that this is an effective solution against wealth inequality because it is a very slow mechanism. It would make more sense to just raise capital gains taxes and decrease dividends taxes so that there is no longer a heavy skew towards wealth building in the first place.

You can still get returns but they have to be paid through a dividend which generally correlates with useful economic activity. You can't just flood the market with cheap money and then use the cheap money to pay dividends if you didn't earn the income in the first place.

Borrowing money doesn't increase the value of a company. It is neutral. If the company is spending that borrowed money on dividends then the company is losing value by exactly the amount that is paid out.
free speech is a human right, but it's limited (in the declaration of human rights, maybe read it?!) to things that dont hurt public peace, that dont negatively impact someone else's rights, etc.
I think your point has its limitations but is quite important. "Just turn off FB" sounds similar to "Just build your own social media", it may be seen as too limiting.

On the other hand I think people against non-censored speech often frame the receivers of the message as somehow mindless. Now that I think about it, censoring people on social media (i.e. deplatforming Trump) implies that users have no free will (whatever that means) and can only act as an obedient crowd. From that perspective, everyone who might become a leader of the masses seems dangerous and requires intervention. Not only that, their followers are also potentially dangerous, just not powerful enough. To me such attitude is in contradiction with individual's freedom to express their views but also a denial of existence of freedom to act in accordance with one's views.

Taint mode is a terrible misfeature and modern code should not use it. It's one of those things that makes people think "it's annoying and makes me do additional work so surely it improves the security". No, it doesn't.

For those who are unware what taint mode exactly is: when it's enabled, a string may have a hidden "tainted" flag. Passing a tainted string to many (but not all) built-in functions will result in an exception.
Many built-ins return tainted strings, additionally all strings in @ARGV (cli parameters) and %ENV (env variables) are tainted. You can get an untainted string by accessing a tainted string through a regex capture group ($1, $2 etc.). Taint mode is global, so it affects everything, including third party modules.

You may ask "how do I even validate my environmental variables? What's the difference between valid and invalid PATH?". Well, you can't. That's why programs using taint mode are often littered with code like:

my($untainted) = $foo =~ /^(.*)$/

The worst thing is that you never know whether a function from a third party (CPAN?) module will return a tainted string or not. It may differ between platforms! For example, File::Spec is sometimes returning tainted strings on unixes, but not on Windows (or the other way around, I'm not sure!). In practice that means you will have to run your program, check if it throws an exception, and if it does, you have to use the above no-op "validation" regex.

Well, that assumes that the said third party code works in taint mode. If it wasn't tested with it, it's possible that it won't work at all and there's nothing you can do about it.
Ah, I did not put across my point very clearly. I was not trying to imply that believing in a falsehood should mean one should be prohibited from speaking it (with exceptions). I meant an opinion born from manipulation is not truly one's own, and to express it is not expressing one's own opinion, rather someone else's.
