People often forget how insanely varied life on earth is. Often we see anthropomorphic aliens depicted in media while it’d be so easy to look into the ocean to find any possible shape or life that doesn’t resemble humans in the least.
"Who have shown repeatedly to be user hostile; especially towards privacy conscious users."

What examples were you thinking of.

They are still the only CDN offering TLS1.3 with ESNI. Problem is they do not necessarily encrypt backend connections. TLS version and SNI are relevant IMO because even with DoH, without TLS1.3 plus ESNI, the ISP can still see domain names in the clear on the wire in client hello packets sent and TLS certificates returned from remote IPs. All those AWS-hosted sites you visit all require SNI, the domain name sent in the clear over the wire for your ISP to track. For many, you can use the cloudfront CNAME as the SNI but it would be easy for an ISP to keep lookup table for all AWS CNAMES. HN's hosting provider will not even support TLS1.3, it's TLS1.2 at best.

SNI is hostile toward privacy conscious users and makes censorship easier.
It's genuinely terrifying to realize just how much power mass media holds over shaping public opinion. Without even lying usually, simply choosing what to report and who to give a platform.

American media isn't even particularly bad in this respect, it looks generally fair and reasonable compared to eg, the British media.

Please name one time censorship has had good outcomes that did not also lead to more censorship?

Because this time clearly doesn't count.

Legality, like all things to do with morality, is irrelevant. Legality is downstream from cultures, not morality.

Yeah, Android really dropped the ball with "allow data that can potentially be used to derive your location" and "allow access to system APIs that give the app your rough/exact location."

It's a historical scientific paper describing work that lead to a Nobel prize.

Yes, see monopoly.

Why? See tragedy of the commons.

> If I operate the world's biggest single-political-party discussion forum, is there a point where the forum is now legally compelled to host the other political party's opinions?

The point in which you become monopolies that actively collude with other monopolies to shut down alternative platforms enabling discourse you disagree with politically is probably a good bar.

Then again, I think all censorship is immoral so basically there is no bar in my view on the matter.
Sorry, but that's not correct. As a counterexample, Google Cloud is not a "loss leader for ads". The hardware division is not a loss leader for ads. There are a myriad of counterexamples.

A loss leader is a product which is used to acquire revenue through a different channel, such as game consoles which often sell at a loss on hardware to encourage game sales.
I think part of the source of that myth is that middle-class Californians look wealthy to the middle class citizens of the more affordable regions they are moving to. Because while the cost of living is lower, salaries and wages generally are as well.

Do you have any evidence for this, or are you guessing?

Going back to your original analogy about a telephone that calls you, Facebook doesn't preferentially show notifications. They show notifications whenever something happens according to how you have your notifications set.

Anyways, you have the causality completely incorrect here. It is the person that has the preference, and Facebook caters to that preference, regardless of what it is. If your point is just that people cared most about their conversations related to the capital riot on Jan 6, of course you are correct. It was the most important event of that day, month, and maybe even year.

But maybe, just maybe, if you keep blaming FB hard enough, you'll fix society's problems.
And why does the real source remain obscure?

You can blame the chicken/egg problem, but ultimately the reason why decentralized systems don't overtake centralized systems is that they don't offer much of an advantage over them, so nobody cares enough to learn how to access them.

I mean, suppose Cloudflare/whatever goes down and the site is inaccessible: would you:

A) Grab the link, and go figure out how to pull it out of IPFS directly

B) Grab the link, and paste it into archive.org

or

C) Go grab a coffee, then come back and refresh the page (because when Cloudflare does go down, it tends to be only down shortly)

B and C aren't perfect, but they're close enough. Doing A takes effort and frankly isn't worth it unless you're doing it as a hobby.

One of the most frustrating things to me, as someone who works for an automotive manufacturer (and acknowledging my own bias here), is the fast-one Musk pulled over on the general populace.

Instead of acknowledging that self-driving is hard, Musk sold Tesla as some magic wunderkind of technology, ignoring when it fell short, and overselling it’s capabilities as somehow light years ahead of the competition. It ultimately turned out that the competition, having collective centuries’ worth of experience said “We need to be really cautious with this technology.”

I think some of the people responding to the comment about solving the energy problem are missing the point. There's solving the energy problem in the sense of finding an energy source that can power human civilization (preferably without melting the planet I live on, but that's a discussion for another thread). Then there's solving the energy problem in the sense of accelerating a spaceship to ultrarelativistic speeds. The latter is a very hard problem.

A good rule of thumb to remember is that if you're going fast enough to experience large time dilation, then your kinetic energy is to be large compared to your rest mass. It's the same factor of γ=1/√(1-v²/c²) either way. So if you're traveling 1000 years in 15 years ship time, you've got γ=67 and your kinetic energy is 66 times your rest mass. Ouch! (And here I'm making the incredibly optimistic assumption that you aren't carrying your fuel with you, because if you are then you also have to expend energy to accelerate your fuel, and to accelerate the fuel you use to accelerate your fuel, etc.)

If the rest mass of your ship is about the same as that of an aircraft carrier (the USS Enterprise, CVN-65, seems appropriate), then 66 × 86000000kg × (3×10×⁸ m/s)² = 5×10²⁶J. That's a lot.

Nuclear energy in the ordinary sense is nowhere close to enough. This is thousands of times more energy than we could get with all the U-235 on Earth. Or we could imagine getting this energy from fusion, using the big fusion reactor located a cozy 8.5 light-minutes away from us. Earth gets about 123000TW from the Sun, so another way of looking at this number is that if we captured 100% of that energy, it would take us 130 years to get enough for the ship's kinetic energy.

Accelerating big things to ultrarelativistic speeds isn't easy.

Your link doesn’t support your argument. California’s COL index will be dominated by the fact that it’s one of the nations most urban states, with two of the largest and wealthiest metro areas.

Two somewhat inexpensive NUC substitutes I've used:

a) Asus Chromebox CN60. Under $50 used. You have to open it up to put it in dev mode, then go to https://mrchromebox.tech/ to get a BIOS that can boot Linux. Uses removable DIMMS and M.2 SATA so it's easy to upgrade if needed. Includes WiFi.

b) Older Lenovo Tiny models, like the M72, M83, M93P, etc. A little larger than the NUC form factor, but not by much. You can find them under $100 with an i3 or i5, 8GB ram, and sometimes an HDD or very small SSD. Most of them also include WiFi.
> It's ludicrous to suggest that ideas should be protected classes in commerce just like race is.

Religions are ideas. These companies also protect certain religions and don't protect others. Hypocrisy at its finest. Also based on studies, our political view points are built based on our brain activities (which are built based on experiences).

> Clarence Thomas's opinion is based on the premise that social media companies are the same as utilities like electric companies, which is nonsense. You can start a social media company tomorrow and everyone could switch to it.

Yes, you, a random person on the internet who misses Thomas' view point must know more than the most experienced Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Your "go start your own company" excuse is what Parler & Gab did and they got kicked out by Apple and Google and banks. I guess Parler should just started a phone company and a bank too right? Railroad and telecom companies could have also just "gone and started their own company" right? You would be the type of person few decades ago telling blacks and jews to just "go start your own company".

Fauci, a government employee is working with Facebook to censor valid viewpoints and you are totally cool with it.

> The same is not true of any utilities in the US. Some are even impossible to compete with (e.g. broadcast networks) because they use limited public resources (e.g. spectrum) granted by the government.

You really think one can compete with Google/YouTube's 95%+ monopoly? Wait until the government gets run by your political opponent.

> You can also just... not say anything, and no one will know which one of those you are.

And you call your political opponents authoritarians? Lol. You think Trillion dollar companies are the good guys and the 50%+ population which is censored are just peasants who should go build their own companies. Rich elites must be the good guys! Lol. Wait until the political pendulum swings in the other direction. Only then will you learn your lesson.

I've come to the conclusion that there are many perfectly valid, but incompatible, ways to run a team. A strict process with strong requirements can work. A self-managing team with autonomy and design input can work[1].

The model should be chosen based on the needs of your business and your product. But, most importantly, you can't mix any match approaches. If you want teams to use creativity to build novel solutions, but your business is driven by a sales team who only want cookie cutter features on a strict deadline, you're going to have a bad time.

Design at my current place doesn't include loading and error states in their designs so we have to free hand those ourselves.

IMHO, loading states and error states are one of the more important parts of the design since they'll be seen often (for loading) and when the product isn't working for a user (error states).

No one is motivated by snark. They are motivated by ideals which, by their very nature, cannot be expressed as a negative.
Anecdotally as someone who's been doing some casual house-pricing over the last year around California, it is surprising how expensive a lot of the state -- including areas that were pretty cheap, in relative terms, just a few years ago -- has gotten for new home buyers. It's true that people kind of forget that there are cities outside the Bay Area and the LA Basin, but it's still dismaying how much a 1500 square foot, 3BR/2BA home that isn't of the manufactured variety is likely to set you back even in pretty remote towns in California.

The article uses the premise that we have 15 years to avert a runaway crisis - and points out that nuclear won't be able to scale by then.

That second part is entirely true. But most people don't actually think the world will stop existing then even if a few points are knocked off of GDP. Clean energy production will still be important 50 years from now.
I posted an interview about the open-pricing surgery center of Oklahoma which actually goes into how a free market healthcare system would work.

A free market system would make for even more uneven differentiation in health care quality - with some people not being able to receive care at all at the end of the day. Yes, on average we would have better health outcomes (same as most people would have better outcomes on average if you didn't require car insurance, since most people don't end up using it), but the few outlier cases would be significantly more tragic than they already are.

And that's fine. But you're putting a lot of energy into trying to convince me of that.

Do you see the contradiction? You claim that the nomenclature isn't a big deal, but then you go on to defend it - and even in this defense, you make an effort to wash your hands of the entire matter as quickly as possible. It's a weird appeal to the status quo, which I don't understand. Either the terminology matters to you or it doesn't. Does it? Do you prefer to refer to a "Sub-Saharan Africa"? If you do, why? And if not, why can't we just call it something else?

I am really curious. I think this sort of discourse is perfectly reasonable because it unpacks the meanings behind our initial reactions.
libertarianism has some good traits like ending the drug war, respect for individual rights, and capitalism. Their approach swings to far in the other direction and believe that pure capitalism, a very sue happy populace, and minimal policing to protect property rights and individual rights is enough. They don't believe in regulations for the most part and only a very minimal military. Problems with this include minimal military->your country is over run within a generation or two, unlimited capitalism->money always flows up and the big guys don't give a damn about your rights and have the money to buy off the police. Very active judiciary to allow suing for infringement on property and individual rights --> the judiciary will be bought by the monopoly companies. It does not account sufficiently for all the money eventually working it's way up to the 1% and they essentially control everything and everyone else is a wage slave fighting over the crumbs of the 1% of wealth/pay left.
Californians moving to Texas seems new. But for the rest of the West, California had more people than Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Combined. A tiny % of Californians coming to town with coastal equity can upset the balance in these much smaller states. It’s a joke not joke that people sell their 60 year old bungalow in LA and buy a 20 acre horse ranch for cash in Boise.
