This reminds me of a discussion with a parent who was distressed about Parler being deplatformed. She was never on it, but her choices of news media told her this was “bad”.

I argued that threats of violence were viable on the platform. She didn’t seem to believe me. I later sent screenshots of violent rhetoric that I found with a quick web search. No response.

There are people who refuse the validity of reality right up until they can’t anymore. Then silence.
Ah. Thanks. Not sure when they added the "Set as parking location." Exactly what I was looking for.
Tyranny in whose opinion? Seems something like 7M don't think so, or not enough to take anyone up on the offer.
Looking only at the cities, and especially tier one/tier two cities, is not a great way to get a picture of the real-world living conditions of the average person in China.

While it is true that hundreds of millions of Chinese live moderately prosperous lives, and enjoy many of the same luxuries that people in developed countries do, there are also hundreds of millions of Chinese who are still living in relative poverty (both relative to people in developed countries, and relative to the country's own urban, educated class).

In November last year the government declared that they had met their target to lift all of China out of extreme poverty by 2020, but that just means that nobody lives on a dollar a day any more. There are still a lot of subsistence farmers in rural areas, and there is still a large underclass that powers the urban economy by working for very low wages in factories, on delivery routes and so on.

China has come a long way in a relatively short period of time, and that's worth applauding, but it still faces some big challenges in raising the quality of life for all its citizens. I'm not an economist, but I expect that there will be a point where the growth can't continue because there won't be enough of an underclass to provide all the services that the current "middle" class takes for granted. I think the government is hoping that by that point either automation or outsourcing will be able to fill the gap.

You need to check on how communist regimes were handling their environments.
Housing-wise yes, agreed. But London is hardly affordable either.
Are we reading the same article? There is absolutely nothing in that link about anyone being censored, isolated, or discredited. It instead describes overall public opinion shifting as Germany took more of Europe and Britain held them at bay.

You did violate the rules, by using ideological flamewar rhetoric ("The masks are now off for the Liberals", etc.).

It's common for users who get moderated for this reason to feel like it has nothing to do with anything they said or did, and therefore that the mods must be against them. But if you look closer and more objectively at your comment, I don't think it's so hard to see that it's not in the intended spirit of this site. There's no question that it was a battle comment as opposed to a curiosity comment.

I will say standard of living is a bit subjective.

But my personal opinion is that having lived in the UK, I never saw a people living so poorly, yet thinking they're rich.
I too appreciate the humor. That said, homelessness often means limited or no restroom access. I’ve had someone turn down food on the basis that it would cause them GI distress. What an awful balancing act.
MVP website, for content creators (photos,videos,+), scaling?
I think that is an unreasonable request for rigor for a casual internet forum comment. That amount of rigor you have to pay for, and at this point I think it's reasonable for you to do your own research and present such normalized numbers.
Literally nobody says that free markets solve all problems. Also, nothing does. Lastly, homelessness is WAAAAAY more complicated than markets simply having failed these people. It's also way more complicated than saying that our social safety nets lack the resources to help these people.
As a counter to your anecdote, I managed to conquer most of my vices during lockdown. I cut my drinking to a couple of beers a week, stopped doing recreational drugs, checked out of a bunch of toxic interpersonal relationships, and sorted my finances out.

I'm not sure what your situation is, but I'd highly recommend going to therapy or finding some other form of support. Signing up for therapy during lockdown was possibly the best decision I've ever made. It was something that I should have done years ago, and finally managed to do it last year, but having that extra support during lockdown was a huge help too.

I don't want to go into more detail publicly, but I can send you an email with some links/resources/advice if you want?

Full title of Paper:

The evolutionary psychology of mass mobilization: how
disinformation and demagogues coordinate rather than
manipulate

Available from the usual places.

Highlights

• Violent mobilization is often attributed to manipulation from, for example, demagogues.

• The human mind contains psychological defenses against manipulation, also in politics.

• Mass mobilization requires that the attention of group members is coordinated.

• Demagogues and disinformation can be explained as tools for achieving coordination.

• Mobilized individuals are predisposed for conflict rather than manipulated into conflict.

Programing at work and programing as a hobby are very different activities.

One should never consider it a requirement, but it's not a recipe for certain burn-out either. (But yeah, if you are doing it because it's a requirement, then it's work and it will lead to burn-out.)
_clap_ _emoji_ _doesn’t_ _improve_ _your_ _argument_

Here’s a slightly amended story:

* Player A pre-orders TLOU2 for $60 from Amazon
* Player A beats game, sells to GameStop for $20.
* Player B buys “used” disc for $55
* $95 net player dollars have now been split $40 dev / $20 Amazon / $35 GameStop
* Bonus! Player B sells game back to GameStop for $20. Who sells it to player C for $55. Repeat a few more times if you like.

You are probably happy with the story. I am not. I want content creators to be rewarded. You want middle men to extract value.

I know what first sale doctrine is and how it works. Thanks for the claps.

> That has nothing to do with the Gamestop's business decisions after they sold the new copy. The studio is trying to milk it for more money post sale.

If you would like to argue that game developers do not alter their business model in the face of used sales go ahead. Anyone who sat in meeting centered on “how can we prevent gamers from selling the disc back to GameStop in the first six months” will laugh at how wrong you are.

The good news for you is that the rise of digital distribution made the debate around used sales moot. Used sales don’t matter and GameStop’s old business model is dead. I hope they fail to pivot and their whole business goes with it.
The Dod Frank Act ensures that the financials of American companies are correct and trustworthy. It’s not uncommon for companies in other countries to be faking their numbers but they can’t do that here.
Eventually - but initially it could probably be done with purchasers simply entering a lockbox code into the delivery address lines.
There's some anime I'm really into, and some that make me really uncomfortable, like Made In Abyss, that has specific sexualization of children around fetishes. As cool as this technology is, a lot of these images seem to draw on pedophillia and sexualizing children. This is an example of a "neutral" training set with results that I wouldn't want to use to represent the entire genre.

I have no idea if this comment is off limits for HN. I'm surprised to see no one else voicing their discomfort with the results of this StyleGAN output.
DJI I think is another good example of chinese tech exports. Phone & TV manufacturers also do a lot of exporting, huawei makes some of the best cell phone cameras out there and if we don't count that then we can't count samsung's TV & handset tech exporting too, which is responsible for a good chunk of south korea's exports in general.
I think thats an argument for reducing the time between elections and when people assume office, not for taking away administrative powers that can also be used for good things and for emergencies.
I had a forced labor exception in my statement.

The concerns people have raised are fairly pedantic namely working in developed or semi-developed economies. That is the not the topic under discussion - 8-12 hour shift in iPhone factories is the topic under discussion.

My dad who grew up in a fairly prosperous family of humble origin in the third world worked through from age 10 to age 18 in the family concern. It is what everyone did.
I was able to install my own extensions. It was the same exact process as for Chrome.
>It's not just most-improved, it's actually the best economic system in large countries (thus more easily corrupt) that were not benefactors of classical imperialism if all you care about is development. This is simply an incontrovertible fact - India, Nigeria, Congo, etc... were in similar initial conditions and fared much worse economically.

Compared to countries with a similar culture/demographics: Hong Kong, Korea, Singaporem Japan and Taiwan, mainland China's growth has been way slower.

>It's also set on escaping the middle income trap in 2-5 years as GDP per capita goes above 12500$, which is something that most liberal capitalist economies cannot achieve.

This is still only around a fourth of the GDP per capita in the other East Asian countries.
I’m a computer “scientist” and haven’t read a single one of these. And now I’m even more ashamed because I want the StackOverflow cliff notes. Seriously, this should be a book with commentary. Does such a thing exist? Maybe a project for Walter Isaacson.
Just because he didn't make money because he's a failure at business and his particular ventures were negatively affected by the coronavirus (the explanation given in your article) completely ignores that he funneled a substantial amount of tax payer dollars into his private ventures by spending so much time there with his security detail.

It's the same next door in Indiana (my home state) as well, although there are a few other exceptions, not just licensed radio amateurs (law enforcement, emergency services, journalists, etc.)
That’s not what the article says at all. It says that his hotel businesses went south due to COVID. That’s orthogonal to the myriad ways he extracted money from being a president.
Let me guess, American.
> where something like that doesn't qualify.

Desperate people mislead by skilled con-artists. You can focus on the fact they got conned, and judge them harshly for it; or, you can focus on the fact that they're that desperate in the first place.

I think we only stand a chance at solving the latter problem, so sorting the "idiots" from the enlightened doesn't seem like a meaningful activity.
Lower level roles almost torture you with stupid questions.

' Do you get upset easily? '

At my senior level I rarely spend more that 20 minutes before confirmation of a phone screen or a rejection
Qanon and friends have been talking about "the storm" for years now.

January 6 was either luck and foolery or clever planning.

A year ago I would have said luck but the weekend before super Tuesday last year with the centrists clearing the lane for Biden all within 36 hours convinced me there's capable skilled political actors who can orchestrate things.

January 6 was perhaps the least harmful version of the storm possible. The people there, they are the kinds of people that follow crazy conspiracies and do mass shootings, tens thousands of them. They've been antagonized and fueled this antigovernment narrative, some of them for almost 30 years by the shock jock grifters.

They got their storm, the pitchfork moment and relatively little violence happened, it lasted just an afternoon, then they left, not returning the next day and now people are being arrested in a way that doesn't martyr them as revolutionaries or put them into any kind of overarching constructive narrative.

They weren't lined up against the wall and taken care of like revolutionaries but instead individually arrested like common criminals. There was no clear "deep state" repression or large arrests to stoke the conspiracies of prison camps etc.

The storm happened. It was a dud.
Afterwards the conspiracy social media accounts were denouncing the Republican party. Almost like the Republicans were able to shake off this toxic part of their coalition in the exchange.

This is an extremely favorable outcome for the establishment. They even got to shut down a bunch of the biggest troublemakers in the process. So really I don't know what to think. Brilliant execution or dumb luck, maybe a bit of both...
still so confusing! and in the conclusion portion it seems to leave users in this unnecessary complexity of languages and toolchain confusion still? why would someone go through all this to use these?
>First he didn't call for violence, until I provided proof he did. Then the violence was justified because "they rushed the stage" - which they didn't. Now it's OK to advocate assault because someone is peacefully protesting?

You are outright lying about what I said. I said that the "violence" called for in the article linked wasn't any more than kicking disruptors out of a private event with force (something justified in that case), and the exact words I used were *IN ONE CASE* regarding the stage-rushing incident. It's up thread for all to see.

The fact that you have to lie to make your point means that this conversation is over. I stand by my original point that the original march was legitimate, and that Trump told the crowd to go home. Trump DID NOT tell any of those assembled to storm the capitol, violently or otherwise, and to insist that he did is a further lie.
> Parler refuses to moderate content.

Is this documented anywhere? From what I've seen that's simply not true.

"the lack of moderation on Parler is not the issue. they actually have very robust moderation tools and all new users start out shadowbanned until enough of their post get approved for rightthink by their user moderators"[0]

[0] https://twitter.com/donk_enby/status/1347939939120533506

It sounds to me like the actual issue was about how quickly and thoroughly Parler could moderate a platform that blew up overnight and whether Parler's moderation standards matched the expectations of AWS, Apple, and Google.
When Trump himself is one of the bad actors, all his supporters are bad actors. The bad subset of BLM supporters weren't leading the BLM movement.
I’m pretty sure the Arizona fab is comparatively very very small, although a step in the right direction.
I am a CS PhD student, and I have to say, I really can't stand lists like this. First, why is Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine included? No computer scientist I know cares about such things, except perhaps as a historical curiosity. Do all modern architects need to read up on the Pyramids? No. Second, I am skeptical that there are papers that all computer scientists need to read. Does a computer vision expert need to go read a paper on computational complexity? Does a roboticist need to understand lambda calculus? This list is pretentious and silly, IMHO.
And the robo mod? The auto-ban?

They have zero access to IPs too right?

Mods human or otherwise is what I'm referring to.

Hey Jonathan, big fan of Brave, and I meant no disrespect with my comment.

Serious question — how does BAT distribution work with ETH fees being in the same range now? Have you considered doing atomic swaps with a network like Stellar for a low fee transaction environment? They have a Metamask alternative called Albedo that you could probably effectively integrate into Brave.

I've worked a lot with Stellar and would be glad to help (not shilling, I don't own many XLM, I just know the network well).

Watchdoge: Anti-theft alarm for your laptop
Not the OP, but it's the reason AWS gave:

In an email obtained by BuzzFeed News, an AWS Trust and Safety team told Parler Chief Policy Officer Amy Peikoff that the calls for violence propagating across the social network violated its terms of service. Amazon said it was unconvinced that the service’s plan to use volunteers to moderate calls for violence and hate speech would be effective.

“Recently, we’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms," the email reads. "It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.”

No. Copyright prohibits you from changing the license on copyrighted code. Do some licenses allow binary redistribution? Sure. Do Some licenses allow source redistribution? Sure.

Can you include Apache 2.0 licensed code in a GPL project? Yes. But you can't change the original license for the code.

> The call was before voting had ended

No, it wasn’t. AZ polls closed at 7pm local time, Fox’s call was ~11:20pm EDT, which is 20 minutes after any polling locations in the Navajo Nation (which uses daylight time) closed, and 80 minutes after those in the rest of the state closed.

They need to shut facebook down as it was the key platform many Trump supporters used to spread lies regarding the election.
This seems like a good strategy, I recall the medical startup from yesterday. It felt like some random person thought he could hire a bunch of contractors to address a field he doesn't know anything about.

In my mind projects should fit into,

A :I've been working in this field for five or six years, I know the market well enough where I'm ready to take a shot.

B: hobby projects
Ah, I see your arguments a lot more clearly now, and I agree with many of the points you've made.

To address your final points, because I think they're the most salient, yes, we need to move away from "free" services, and the sooner the better I think. Gmail / Hotmail / Whatevermail people are using has perpetuated the idea that email has no real value, but I think that's easily disproven by simply locking someone's account for a month. I guarantee you anyone living in the modern world without email for a month would immediately see the monetary value. This is why I pay for ProtonMail, among other reasons (chiefly privacy).

I think people really need to get into the mindset of paying for social media services as well. I don't think anyone can argue that Facebook has real, tangible value. It not only connects you to your friends and family, but the storage of media (videos, pictures, etc.) is also useful. I know some people whose entire family photo albums exist only on Facebook's servers. I don't know what kind of pricing would be reasonable... maybe as little as $1 a month for basic services, and then you pay more to unlock more storage for your photo uploads or something, but its a model that I think a lot of people might be interested in, if Facebook respected your privacy, etc.

Once again, I don't claim to know the answers, but I do know that we need to move away from the "free" model. My older brother told me 20 years ago, "If you go to a website, and you can't tell what the product is - you're the product." Seems as true now as it was then.
I wonder about that. Knuth pronounces TeX like "tech" and Kleene pronounced his name like "Clay-knee", but are these wrong or trolls? Are folks who say "liberry" or "nukular" wrong or trolls? There are deep linguistic questions here, and they won't be reached by simply dismissing heterodox pronunciations as wrong.

It may interest you to know that GIF is pronounced "jif", because of the pun that "choosy developers choose GIF" [0][1]. Rather than dismissing you as wrong or a troll, I'd like to acknowledge that your heterodox choices are valid and enrich our language.
