Yup, and often those tempting bulk discounts, if calculated, only end up saving a few cents or a dollar or something, so the trade off becomes -- Do you want to be payed 50 cents to store extra supplies at your house? Sometimes that's a good trade-off, but often it isn't.

Bulk-buying mentality is so prevalent in the US, it can sometimes be hard to avoid, and I think US urban planning has a lot to do with it as well - e.g. in many cities I've lived in the US, it would take longer to walk to my car than to walk to a grocery store when I was living outside the US, so you get trained to focus on economizing trips.
How do you solve the problem that misinformation is profitable?
I'd say yes, in fact.

The notion that you'd need moderation should not come as a surprise to you. It's not 1997, so it's not like you don't know that this kind of thing happens. If you want to build a social network, handling the moderation load is part of your job, not an afterthought.

We absolutely allowed large social media platforms to get away with it for far too long. It's not the only thing making them a monopoly -- the network effect of having all of your friends in one place is also a significant barrier to entry for any new social media site.

Fixing that after the fact isn't easy. But it doesn't mean that you can act as though you're not very, very, very late to the party in trying to establish a new social media site. In 2021 it's part of any new site to make sure you're not being used for crime -- or at least making enough of an attempt that authorities don't see you as being implicated.
I'm not against it as much as in aww because the device itself is made of A LOT of legos, so not only do you have a lot of legos from building the sorting device but then you have a lot of legos for the sorting device to be useful.
Having the CIA AND the Mossad as your opponents will not work out well.
It would be great if the code for GitHub was on GitHub so that people could host their own.

How far are we removed from: “please remove this book on C++, as individuals may learn how to pirate music from Britney Spears using the knowledge herein”
The youtube-dl demands were from the RIAA (Recording Industry Artist’s Association). This is from the MPA (Motion Picture Association), the only one of the three major supporters of SOPA and PIPA that GitHub’s parent company (Microsoft) is not an official member of (the third is the ESA — Entertainment Software Association).
Really? How did past revolutions and terrorist attacks get organized? You realize most of world history existed before the Internet, right?
Bought four handsets for my work. They worked through concrete over a distance. Your comment is 100% inaccurate based on my observations.
Violence is categorically bad, regardless of what the intentions are. Referring to violence as "doing things" purposely avoids recognizing this.
The idea that this summers riots were at all comparable to an attack on our nation's legislative body as it certified results of an election is repugnant and absurd.

Its easier to point fingers at the other side than take any blame for your own.

The insurrection at the nations capitol is a singular event, one that Republicans need to reckon with on its own terms. Some have done this, and I applaud them. They are proving to be the grown ups in the room.
It's actually GitHub that contacts AWS even before the commit finishes being sent to GitHub so it is indeed very fast.
ya man what they did to that target was an atrocity lol someone call the hague

I can tell you that the content on Parler was, on a percentage basis, far closer to incitement of violence than, say, Reddit. I saw this for myself. I cannot tell you the motivations of the founders since I’m not a mind reader.
Is the internet a channel or is Facebook a channel? Both?

Why?
I don't get it. Why "markdown-like". Do people writing novels have some need that is unmet by an existing flavour of markdown? Because I have to say that the last thing that ecosystem needs is yet another flavour. I thought the entire point to markdown was that you didn't need a special editor. Which of course has done nothing to reduce their mushrooms-in-a-damp-cellar proliferation.
In the US (at least several decades ago when I was in school... I'm old) this was sadly not true for AP English.

It's very much about understanding the themes not just recapping what you read. But there was no propagandization involved. Mein Kampf was a summer reading choice although I think I ended up reading Grapes of Wrath.
State isn't the devil. Nor is it a necessary evil. State is essential to many, if not most, interesting applications.

Poorly managed state or ad hoc state machines are the devil. Once you model your system properly as a state machine, many of these issues fall out during the initial design and development (not to say they won't happen anyways, but this mitigates many of the issues). If you design your system so that whatever variables define your state are mutated together to ensure your invariants hold, this helps a lot with addressing poorly managed state. And if you can (you can't always) use a system which is aware of state machines as part of the design then you can mitigate the ad hoc state machine part.
The medical field, or at least its public-facing portion, seems to be full of people who are reluctant to propose anything novel if there aren't rock-solid studies justifying it, even when it's clear (even to laypeople) that an analysis of the expected costs and benefits does confidently justify it.[1][2] It's a similar kind of thing to "no one ever got fired for buying IBM". And if you look at the incentives of medical spokespeople, do they actually suffer if they give bad advice? Is Dr. Mike Ryan still executive director of the WHO health emergencies program? His Wikipedia page still says so; its link to the WHO website has rotted.

Given that, it's precisely these guys, outsiders who think they're smarter (or less bound by rules or whatever) than those spokespeople, who are in a position to give us some of these important pieces of advice. Of course, that means you have to take them on evidence/argument rather than on authority. But it seems like the evidence/argument here obviously stands up.

>Copyfarleft[1] has been discussed for almost a decade now and has spinoffs like Copyfair[2].

But not in the context of open source. At no point have any of these licenses made a successful bid for qualification under the OSD.
Totally agree. I am not advocating for the West to start a revolution.
In reality I think a Lego(or screw, or x) finding tool on a phone would find a 1000x more users vs a sorting machine. It's also a much harder problem.
Storming Reddit's Moat
That's one of the reasons I love ADTs and pattern matching in systems code so much.

For instance in rust where both self and Event are enums

fn on_event(&mut self, event: Event) {
*self = match (self, event) {
(State1(data), Event1(args)) => {
.... processing event1
State2(new_data)
}
// All other events in State1 are ignored
(State1(data), _) => State1(data),

(State2(data), Event1(args)) => {
.... processing event2
State3(new_dat)
}
..... pattern match the rest of the matrix
}
}

will do a great job highlighting missing transitions of the state machine's transition matrix.
> Antifa and BLM burned and looted for months

This sentence fragment appears deliberately vague and it assumes the conclusion. Compare, for example, "The Capitol Attack" vs "Right Wing Violence in America". One references a specific event with specific actors, the other is a vague non-specific description of a phenomena that may or may not exist.

I'd encourage you to be more specific -- which instances of fires and looting do you feel were not adequately described as attacks? Who is failing to describe them, again, specifically.

Right now, this does not read like you are interested in discussing this in good faith.
In the defense of the falsely-assuming people the actual legally actionable bits are all the way at the end of the complaint, and the first few paragraphs sound like the MPA is alleging that merely publishing the source code of a BitTorrent tracker is itself infringement.

I swear, it's almost as if the people who work for these publisher trade groups are trying to pull aggro and look crazy.
Facebook, Twitter, and Google have not tried to take a stand against moderation; the worst you can say is that they still need to improve their moderation policies and techniques. Parler was created as a protest against the moderation that happens on other platforms, to be a place where the people who are too extreme for Facebook etc. can communicate, recruit, and so forth. Likewise with Gab, which was created in response to Twitter's own efforts at moderation.

Nothing unequeal about the treatment, because Parler's efforts at moderation were never equal (in either commitment or scope) to the other platforms you mentioned.
Yep. "City of Refuge"
Phones don't broadcast, but the two human callers can.
The issue with the youtube-dl case was that certain copyrighted video pages did have a different structure, so they needed to test they could parse that page correctly.

There's no technical difference between a torrent containing ArchLinux.iso and TheBeatlesDiscography.zip however.
But don't go inside at the golf club, don't travel more than maybe 5km, don't use public transport, deep-clean the rental house when you arrive and leave.

Seriously, it's easy to think that sitting in a rental house for 3 weeks is harmless, but then you go shopping, and even with a mask you still have a ~10% chance of spreading it, and then you're spreading it to a community likely a significant distance from your own.
I think your historical assessment is fair, as usually legal has an allow-list of licenses and anything else is non-trivial to integrate. Moving forward, though, with multiple companies trying to solve issues via licensing (Mongo, Elastic, Confluent), I think we could see some of the new licenses become legal allow-listed (Which allows for some of the moment open-source can give as you mentioned in the link).

Honestly, I think the biggest issue with Elastic-style licenses moving forward is API compatibility. It is just a question of how much money is at stake for a company like Amazon to go from just operationalizing ElasticSearch to running and maintaining an API-compatible fork, just as they've done with Mongo. It would actually be a bit hilarious if Amazon open-sourced said fork with a more permissive license, given that their buck is usually made off of ops.
To me the connotation has always been something like Hatfields and McCoys, not exactly positive, but not linked to race.
- The BLM movement is, while poorly framed and easily co-opted by other people, about genuine problems with policing in the United States. Problems that are backed up with verifiable facts rather than scummy used car salesmen and the Inventor of Email™.

- The BLM movement, while the source of many large large scale protests (several of which turned into riots and outstayed their welcome) never, at any point, even pretended to stage a coup or murder a member of the Capitol Police.
While watching college b-ball with my son last night, I noticed that the field-house at Louisville is (now?) named the "KFC Yum! Center". I can't really eat KFC but do appreciate brands that can poke fun at themselves or otherwise advertise with some humor. The melting Colonel Sanders snowman was a little creepy though!

If you generally use anything as a crutch it will start wearing off and you will build up a tolerance unless you start enjoying it for the sake of enjoying it and nothing more.

This can apply to pretty much any substance or routine. Right now for me it's video games :(
Yeah, it's weird that the discussion has centered around censorship, rather than like... why didn't law enforcement shut this down sooner? Or at least properly prepare for it?
I'm about as pro EU as it gets, but I don't want the EU to integrate into a superstate modeled after 19th century nationalist ideas.

What makes the EU awesome to me is precisely the fact that it's a nation-like structure without all the bullshit designed to tickle people's apeish tribal instincts.

The EU is not a country and I don't want it to be. It's a new kind of thing. I'm happy to be a EU citizen, but certainly not proud of it - that's just nonsense, I did nothing to achieve that.

And that attitude, plus deep curiosity and empathy for the ways of life of people who grew up differently is exactly how you do end up with what to me is close enough to a universal society.
That's fair feedback about the price and this is not for everyone. We're hoping people will experience value in prizes, a trained host, team-building aspects like ice breakers, and a high-quality game experience.
You murder this rapist/murderer, and now you're in prison, and for what? Because you were mad, because you feel you'd lose face if you don't? Who benefits from this macho bullshit? The rapist is dead, your daughter is dead, and now your life is over. You've basically amplified the rapist's impact on your life- in a very real way, you let the rapist control you and ruin your life even more than it was when your daughter was murdered. What's so brave and manly about that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Rosenberg

> Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7]

She was charged, served some of her time (16 years of 58 years is 27.586%), and then a president pardoned her.
When will Apple remove FB then?

FB has said it is too big to moderate effectively, ergo in principle it is unmoderated just like Parler.

FB has a point, for example, in Myanmar the platform is being used to organize genocide. There is no way FB could hire enough local moderators to deal with this without turning off the service.
“The process of creating something like this is anything but simple,” R.J. Scaringe, Rivian’s founder and chief executive, said in an interview. “It’s a complex orchestra, several thousand parts coming from several hundred suppliers. It’s definitely far more complex than people think and far more complex than I thought it would be.”

Not a reassuring statement I would expect of moonshot efforts or speak to the competency of being able to undertake the task at hand. Also, several hundred suppliers is not congruent with the whole startup/vertical integration fad or valuation model. Why would one want to invest in a strategy that is as dependent on suppliers as GM and Ford?
It's worth noting that "American" styles like v60 pour-overs, chemex, and cold brew iced coffee often have more caffeine per typical serving than traditional espresso drinks.
I think that House of Leaves can be left as an unaddressed edge-case for most novel-writing tools.
I would define terrorism as forced coercion of an outside group (or group perceived to be "outside") through violent actions. Controlling through fear.
So yes, any assassination, and especially that one, would be terrorism. However, terrorism committed by independent actors makes them terrorists, but terrorism committed by the state is more appropriately classified as military aggression, or acts of war.

The whole point of the military doing anything short of all out war is to scare an "enemy" into compliance through threat of violence. So it's not classified as terrorism for the same reason as lethal action by police is not murder. The blessing of the state changes its definition.
From the replies given, it seems that Medium facilitates monetization. I'm just curious to know how much that's actually worth vs. the public good.
IANAL

If I fork the commit before license change, rename everything to not clash with trademarks, can I then pick commits from their repo into my still-Apache licensed forks?

EDIT: Can I use SSPL licensed software in my commercial server-side application for free?
I imagine MPA would also be emboldened by this if Github removes the Nyaa repository forever on what is basically a pretty flimsy basis ("Nyaa.si uses the code and that's a piracy website so the code itself is piracy").

What's next? Transmission and rtorrent?
These days I have different computers for work and play but I used to just have one for both.

If that's you, absolutely, definitely, try having different user accounts for work and personal.

Having that separation is very important, and having different accounts is an cheap and easy way that almost everyone's OS already supports.

Why are people consuming news on facebook at all? The idea is ridiculous for exactly the scenario you spelled out. A space that caters to news and to baby photos is not a space that makes any sense to me.
But your argument isn't really meaningful to majority of phone users -- they are not sophisticated enough to do side loadings or installing custom ROMs or using poorly supported stacks. What they do need is reliable phone that does things that they need them to do, and there is no real alternative for this case. It's why Linux desktop is still not a real alternative to Windows desktop (and I say this as someone who runs linux at home and professionally writes code that runs on linux servers).
Can you provide a source please?
This article makes a point that, I think, will be difficult to swallow for many people here: YouTube's Content ID system is helping.

In both the article and the Tweet thread (https://twitter.com/kerrymuzzey/status/1215314012499394560, https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1215314012499394560.html), Mr. Muzzey says he used Content ID to discover the serial infringement. Without it, either the infringements would not be discovered,.

I concede that there might be other tools out there that do the same work as Content ID, but do they work as well? How much do they cost? If there is a cost, then what would the ROI be?

It is also important to note, Muzzey did discover his music (through YouTube search) being used in infringing ways, but ways that he was OK with:

> Muzzey recalls [YouTube's] algorithm surfaced 20 or 40 videos. The majority were fan compilations that teenagers obsessed with Glee had painstakingly put together to memorialize their two favorite characters' love story—and they were all soundtracked to the full version of Muzzey’s music.

> “It was really kind of cool and validating, especially for someone who was a complete independent, to have a kid finding a piece of instrumental music, which is the most uncool kind of music for a kid to find, and to make a tribute montage using it,” he explains. “It was stuff nobody would have a problem with.”

I think this is an ideal example of how Content ID is supposed to be used: The rightsholder (that is, the rightsholder directly, not a contractor) should review when uses of their works are flagged, and then make the call on what to Content ID claim, what to DMCA takedown, and what to clear.
You don't go after the MPA. You bring charges against their lawyers who are acting in bad faith and submitting fraudulent documents.
We can look to China at what effective moderation looks like and then learn that FB would need 2-3 orders more moderators to make it ‘safe’
I agree with your use of “chilling” but more in the traditional sense when it comes to expression: that any censorship/bans/etc will likely have a chilling effect on this type of speech. In this case I think “this type of speech” comes down to people expressing their violent fantasies or plans, and I don’t think it’s bad if we have less of that particular kind of speech. As the classic argument goes, however, you can’t have it both ways with both total freedom of speech and some kind of moderating censorship.

All that said, if we can make our way past the obvious consequences of limiting speech we might get to a more interesting place. In particular I’m more interested in how social media moderation might change our opinions and laws about speech itself. Does everyone’s speech deserve to be treated the same way by the algorithms that decide what gets traction and what doesn’t? Should the algorithms or platforms themselves be restricted in their “speech” in some way? How do we square our desire to allow corporations to develop algorithms to increase commerce when those same algorithms also necessarily foment rage and violence?

I don’t think it’s worth arguing whether free speech is worth protecting (it is, despite the evils you also have to protect) but I do think it’s worth considering how we think about what constitutes speech when commerce, social media platforms, and algorithms come into play.
Their Subservient Chicken website was one of the strangest pieces of marketing I've ever seen for a major corporation.
Doesn't exactly look worthy of losing our collective freedom of speech and right to assemble over. A stark contrast over the story being pushed in the media.

Yet this event will be used as a scapegoat to push those very things in the near future.

Just know that any laws passed or precedents set will be used first on the "radical right", will undoubtedly be used on the anti-vax and conspiracy crowd but will eventually be used on the anti-war left, and then simply "dissidents".

If you haven't realized it yet, the wheels are turning to silence unapproved narratives forever. The media campaign just screams the phrase "manufacturing consent".
The coverage of Anime in some countries (such as the US) are a lot better than before though.

Can't speak of translation quality as I don't watch English-sub, but they have no problem with simulcast. As a matter of fact, lots of popular animes released on Nyaa.si nowadays are directly ripped from Crunchyroll/Funimation/etc. TVrips from Japan, which were the main source before, are actually getting rarer and rarer.
