I (gp) agree and would go further, there’s limits to free speech everywhere online and off. What the ggp was saying was that further limitations to speech are welcome. The level of speech control that changes from moderation to controlling the public narrative is what I caution against - and with the lab leak policy Facebook was already there.

A quick Google search reveals Booking's net income is two orders of magnitude above those figures. The Dutch State should ask themselves if Booking ever needed those €65M and review the process that got them that money.
This is such an overly simplistic take. Depending on where you are in the country, you could easily suspend some combination of power, water, heat, road access, banking, or internet connectivity to individuals purely by restricting access to private property somewhere down the line. Simply accuse them of violating the terms of service. We collectively agree that is unacceptable, because those things are basic utilities.

We’ve let only a half dozen websites more or less completely control the internet on the front and backend - far fewer than the number of utilities it would take to turn off someone’s electricity. That kind of power is not just a free speech issue, it’s a national security threat and it’s only being celebrated because it’s being wielded, for now, against people we don’t like.

Imagine a future election where one candidate wants to classify social networks as utilities, and the other candidate wants to do nothing but set puppy orphanages on fire. Candidate 1 has her social media pages cancelled for nebulous violations to a labyrinthine TOS, and she loses the election - because that is how people are reached in the modern world.

How China Beat the U.S. to Become World's Undisputed Solar Champion
They weren't suppressing his content on the basis that it was "objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient" though: they banned him because he posted something which explicitly violated EULA, which had clearly defined stipulations. Perhaps if he didn't read or understand those rules I'd understand where he's coming from, but his treatment is nothing atypical.
If a manufacturer could easily design the circular saw to be safe (á la SawStop) with little added cost, but decided not to, I think most people would consider them grossly negligent.
There are times when a go application needs a lot of additional files for configuration and anything else. Docker is a great way to bundle those in instead of needing to ensure those files are already on all of your compute nodes.
Well, the information that you can gain might be more than what they will gain from you. Options are not to talk and just to check what will be said on the other side. Also, not sure if there is a way to blacklist phone numbers by regex, but it is worth exploring. :)

You: The problem wasn't that he banned travel from China. The problem is that he didn't ban travel from Europe, until it got way worse than China.

Okay. Yes, you're a very pro-lockdown Seattlite with access to almost every comfort you could want without leaving your home. I believe that you were probably not mad at Trump for stopping flights, and wanted more to be stopped. That is within your character as read by your comments. I'm skeptical you understand what lockdowns actually meant for other people, but that's besides the point.

Me: [Democrats and the media called Trump racist for shutting down travel from China]

Okay, so we agree then? I don't think I said anything about Europe or if Trump Admin had gone far enough and when.

If only tabs were the only design problem with the last two releases.
The extremely frustrating thing about this current instantiation of the postmodern critical approach is that EVERYTHING is problematic. By it's own logic, by the only logic that makes any of these arguments stand... the whole point is that ALL "structures" and "narratives" (in other words "ideas") are problematic -- by their very nature, in a multitude of ways. Problematic doesn't mean "immoral", it means "not the objective, absolute truth."

So -- Yes, virtually any element of US history is problematic. So is every concept from every culture/nation that came before it.

And even if we recede to this newspeak version of "problematic" as meaning "immoral" (in one way or another)... it's a completely facile exercise to see that every human society has struggled and/or been oppressed throughout history. So the unerring tendency for the current wave of critical postmodern-inspired social rhetoric to focus on one set of targets rings extremely hollow. "US History is problematic" (and awful and deeply shameful and requires this raft of policy prescriptions I like, etc)... but god forbid you try to discuss extant social structures or historical conflicts in Africa.

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing. Also, this little bit, "... I really wanted to talk about WarGames because it’s the one movie I can think of that’s had the most direct influence on any technology policy issue." made me think of another film, which I would argue had a great effect on technology policy. The film was Disney's "Victory Through Air Power" [1]. (See, specifically, the "impact" section [2] of the Wikipedia article.)

The film is an astonishing piece of animation (which in places resembles an almost manga style), education and propaganda. I cannot recommend it highly enough and it is available at the Internet Archive [3].

>> but is not sufficient to explain why it would be a brand new priority for Republicans to regress trans rights.

Because 1/ adressing some issues means not adressing other.. the public debate cannot handle so many things at once and 2/ from the point of view of a french person america is particularly confrontational when defending pretty much... anything.

In practical terms, republicans feel for 1/ that if you defend trans rights, you are going to forget more important fights such as the obesity crisis, the opioid crisis, the absurdity of your healthcare system, the economy. And for 2/, that they are going to be shamed if they disagree with the actual issues such as letting men compete in women categories.. so yeah i have 0 problems with trans people but understand the republicans motivation.

Im rather left but i feel the left has too much moved to defend minorities issues, wich is a shame because historically left wing movements were workers rights which were more about the mass vs the few "elite". Thats why, in france at least, a lot of the working class now vote extreme right, and in usa, trump.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you thought I meant left/right bias, I was looking at this from the lens of Facebook being a global platform.

To expect an even response across all political parties across all governments by the metrics they gave around incitements to violence and danger to the public is a bit unrealistic.

Bias can easily be introduced in every phase of these cases being accessed. Arguably, long before the political and activist leanings are considered.

From that it's not to difficult to see it being extended to other groups.
We will evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm confused by this line. Whose restrictions on whose peaceful assembly?, and why is it worded so that restrictions on peaceful assembly is included in the list of "markers of civil unrest"? If I recall correctly restrictions on assembly started in response to disease outbreak, and later were sometimes applied to some left wing and some right wing protests. What if it's an unjust restriction on a righteous protest, or an unsafe lack of restriction on a "riot"? Is either situation a marker of civil unrest?
Sorry my literal mind is having trouble parsing this.

I agree, but would Walmart paying their staff like Costco to help them have some happiness in their life be enough to get customers like us in their stores?

There’s still the whole, all very poor people shop there dynamic that isn’t going away unless someone can undercut Walmart significantly.
Sure, but in the spirit of the original argument, the taxes still aren't about regaining funds to help the little guy. It's not like paying more taxes is going to go to something beneficial to society.

And in my opinion (not verified or anything) we're seeing such strong Cantillon effects that inflation is being regulated via soaring asset prices.

So it's harder to buy a house and or a share of SPY, but everyday goods are inflating way below the increase in dollar supply atm.

Edit: Lol, except lumber.

>And I agree the population in general would understand, but I think there'd still have been plenty of people that would've hoarded every mask possible

And many people did hoard masks, and toilet paper, and sanitizers. So Fauci solved nothing except destroy trust in public health authorities. It also wasn't the last time that he lied for 'people's own good'.

I believed him. I did. I don't believe him anymore.
>I've always been skeptical about how consumer pricing is done

Consumers seem to mostly favor memberships/subscriptions. Even utilities like electricity and water and pretty much predictable in practice. Pair per view/pay per listen/pay per read seem a lot less popular in general for media. The counterexample may be books, but then most people don't read a lot of books per month/year.

Which makes sense. A lot of people want to budget fairly tightly and subscriptions are better for that.
A person would have to live a Kaczynski-like lifestyle to not interact with services that aggregate and sell data. No credit card, no cellphone, no internet. Cash only.

Integrating sales or classic customer support is boring.

I mean, I get that it pays the bills, but when I've got a million priorities, boring work that I don't really get credit for goes to the bottom of the pile.
I like the new tabs. They don't confuse me. And they look less noisy/calmer/less crowded. The Windows task bar also works nicely without a tab design.
Of course, and it will show great executives what a swell place to work booking.com really is. Even if the comp is a bit low by executive standards, at least they have your back.
No, I wouldn't use a much older Apple phone.

One of the things I really dislike about Apple is that they don't give clear statements of how long they will provide software updates and in particular security updates for on each product. For a device like a phone that is inherently connecting to external networks all the time, I regard those updates as essential. There also seem to be some vulnerabilities inherent in the design of older iPhones that have been addressed in newer models.

Another thing I really dislike about Apple is that iOS Safari lags behind everyone else in the industry when it comes to new features and supporting high performance pages. Regardless of why you believe this is the case, again an older device that either no longer gets updates or is unlikely to get many more is a liability.

Finally, while the camera on older iPhones might be half-decent by today's standards, I prefer one that is actually decent.
I suppose that the long lines go next to aisles with some last-minute stuff like candy, chewing gum, small toys, etc, which the bored people in the line have to see and may feel a craving to grab. If not them, then their children who experience boredom more acutely.
I think the pragmatic answer to this question is another question: do you have any operations that fall under EU jurisdiction?

If yes, then they have the ability to punish you and you need to follow the GDPR. If no, then the GDPR is just as irrelevant as any other EU regulation and can safely be ignored.
Yes, it has to be one or the other. No other types of housing exist.

I wonder what they switch to at WhatsApp when they become medium scale.
We can't really stop the Data Economy. If we're bleeding data all over the place then we can only maintain good habits of data hygiene. But then we know that will never be perfect. Some fingerprints will always remain, some breadcrumbs will always be hoovered up by the bots.

I use adblockers and vpns and other such things but then I have accounts with facebooks and whatsapps. Could I camouflage my 'scent' with perfume? What's more - could I feed misleading data in? I really wouldn't mind being a VIP in the eyes of these shitty algorithms.
I believe it, but what were they trying to optimize?

If all of their changes are focused on near-term bottom line, is it really surprising if that comes at the expense of customer/employee satisfaction and brand reputation?

Then don't use those companies. Problem solved. There's plenty of decentralized and federated platforms that are perfect for people worried about being censored, same as it ever was. If you're too ignorant to use those platforms, I'm not taking pity on you.
Short answer: no it is not.

Here's a little bit of background from an article at the start of the pandemic. The company had originally announced that they would cancel bonuses in exchange for government support. They even promised to protect jobs, which they didn't, and laid off around 5000 anyway.
The Hays code might not be the best example, since it was "self-censorship" but done in direct response to imminent threats of government censorship all over the United States. Several states had just created censorship boards in response to a Supreme Court ruling which declared that freedom of speech didn't apply to movies.
This is cool. However, Universal robots (in the video) sells collaborative robots which usually have lower repeatability than industrial arms.

Is "wow, people say lots of things in the past were racially motivated" really supposed to be a compelling counter-argument to "here is something that was evil, here is why the effects of it still are being felt today"?

Commit enough fouls in a basketball game and they aren't supposed to stop calling fouls on you because it's tedious to blow the whistle every time! ... though... there are teams that have employed exactly this strategy, so maybe it's an even better metaphor than it seems on the face of it!
This is different because Google makes money from AdSense. Like all of it.

The guy is trying to run AdSense campaigns. AdSense runs on what, millions, billions of websites. It has presumably very complicated system for detecting malicious links. An alternative Analytics solution has, at least for OP, been caught in this filter.

I don't think it's likely that Google is scheming to sabotage analytics competitors by blocking their customers AdSense campaigns.
I'm not sure of the politics in the Wiemar Republic. How many Jews supported the National Socialist party? How many of them voted for the National Socialists during the Great Depression economic crisis? (Not many, I suspect. Voting against a group is, by definition, not supporting them.) (https://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%2077...)

Once the National Socialists had achieved power, in 1933, German Jews protested the actions of their government, leading to the Civil Service law and further restrictions on Jewish activities. (At this time, there were many German non-Jews who probably didn't like their government's activities but benefited a great deal from those activities.) By 1935-36, Jews in Germany had essentially no power, either to support or oppose the government. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Germany...) Thus, those who could left.
I don’t believe the word ‘black’ should always have a capital ‘b’
Right that doesn’t mean we should continue to censor and remove people from public discussion. My comment isn’t specific to Facebook, it’s directed at all the tech giants who usually “coincidentally” all ban the same person(like Alex Jones). This doesn’t lead to a good place and it’s odd to me that you would dismiss this so easily. Imagine AOC had been banned from FB and all social media platforms while she was running her first election, doubt she would have had the same result.
> I expect trade unions and calls for mandatory certification in next decade.

That makes sense. Certification, or more specifically licensing, is ever the go to tool for people protecting their industries from what they see as encroachment by others.

> The rise of remote work is 100% misunderstood. Good software engineers can work anymore but I haven't met many engineers that can mentor well remotely.

Absolutely this. I love working remotely and will probably not go back to an office until at least the kids are out of school. But both being new and training new people are skills that are just _different_ from being in the office.

Open offices were not a good fit for me, but one valuable thing from a past job was sitting close to both my manager and their manager. That was a way to learn "Oh, that's how you talk to <client A, department B, etc>" without having to be told "this is how you talk to these people." Training a remote new person requires so much more intentionality that most people are not accustomed to.
And yet, from an optics perspective, it’s still not a good look. Police ushering people in might be even worse. It’s really just teaching other agitators how gullibility and some forceful lies or confusion can start something stupid yet iconic.

It should be a “how can we not let that happen again” situation not a “oh lighten up it was just a parade.”
Cyberwarfare will be used to further terrible agendas (and already is) - that must be fought politically, but I am plenty jaded enough to see where that is likely to go. Unfortunately not participating in Cyberwarfare is not an option.
This is an interesting problem. On one hand, FBI probably knows that by figuring out the viewers for a specific time they can perhaps catch someone relating to child pornography.

On the other hand, if it's allowed it can be abused in the future. It cases like this that I wonder if one-offs should be allowed instead of creating precedent.

It's pretty much what happened with charging underage children as adults. Created a precedent and now 10 years olds can get tried as adults.

I am bitter too, and for similar reasons.
The funny thing is - if Apple made Find My opt-in - most users would chose not to use their device for Find My, though it benefits them all and hardly has a downside.

The sheer fact of asking the user to opt-in automatically decreases opt-in rate a lot (like a LOT), even if that tech is super good. It is way easier to dismiss a dialog than to think what it even does.
A reasoning given for the change in tabs was a lot of user feedback that people didn't know you could drag and drop to rearrange tabs, but also kept requesting that ability (despite it already being supported). I can almost see the reasoning behind "the attached tab looks far too attached and 'fixed' to the rest of the window so floatable buttons would appear less so and 'easier' to move" and I don't entirely fault it for bad logic, though I also think they could have found a better alternative that didn't feel so drastic a departure from decades of tab UIs (in Firefox previously and elsewhere).
Most of what you're observing is simply a reflection of the area demographics.

It's similar to visiting a small town DMV.

Your description of gambling machines reminds me of my last visit back home in IL, after they legalized gambling. It's very jarring to walk past locals glued to video slot machines at 9AM in a gas station. It's depressing as hell, I'm sure the walmarts have cashed in on the action too but I didn't visit one while there.
Thanks - I enjoyed that. I'm tempted to track down my own copy of the language book.
>Maybe elsewhere, but not in America. This is one of the most selfish/individualist countries on earth.

That's a disgusting statement. People are people. And the vast majority of people in every country are good people.

It's also not true, but even if it was, he has no right to lie to people about their healthcare and well-being. You can't do that because this kind of lie actually hurt people who would have wore a mask (homemade or otherwise) but didn't (and maybe got sick or died), all because they trusted him.
