They are well audited already. Does every step possible need to be taken to ensure that no data can be leaked ever? No.

You can walk out your door right now and hop on a bus. That driver has a CDL, a good first step. But how do we know that the driver isn't drunk? Through threat of possible audit (breathalyzer) after any incident. We don't test them before handing them the keys every day.

We trust people all the time with things far more critical than a facebook user's data, and we audit them far more loosely, if at all.

"completely unethical and unreasonable" > This seems to be influenced by the belief that tech is some utopia where everything is solvable and the world will be a better place. There is room for good enough in trust.

There is a big difference between throwing guardrails up so people don't do wrong and beating them down with requests for permission over and over all day during their work, driving home the point they can't be trusted. Eight hours a day of being told you can't be trusted is about more than the worker's convenience -- it's about their morale at least and possibly their mental health. It also instills the attitude of "if I can do it, it's legal, because otherwise they would have stopped me from doing it."
Thanks. A key reason for starting Fluvio is to democratize data. Make data streaming & data engineering accessible to everyone and remove barriers much as possible.
I remember these articles, but sadly didn’t save them either. I believe the author was Peter Turchin, who studies “structural dynamic cycles” and advanced a theoretical framework called “cliodynamics”. He certainly seems to be onto something…[1]

SMTP servers supports SSL. Using client certificates and/or HMAC signed messages takes care of the security. You have the same security consideration for HTTP.

As for "setting up an SMTP server", the point is that compared to the current requirement of a webhook, you're going to need a queuing mechanism or a pull mechanism or both anyway. So you can build a custom solution, or you can pick an existing queuing mechanism that people have spent literally decades providing a vast array of software options for.

And yes, you're right, you can always ending up needing a way to trigger a replay because no matter what you do the customer might do something stupid. Nothing you do will get you away from that. So either you require them to always pull, or you provide an option to push and an API to trigger redelivery for when they've done something stupid. If you opt for push, SMTP is an option worth considering, because no other queuing mechanism has as many available ready-made and battle hardened queuing options.

There are many cases where it'd not be suitable, but in the situations where SMTP is a bad choice, webhooks are likely to be an absolutely awful choice.

I speak from actually having run messaging on SMTP both as an e-mail provider with a couple of million users and having used it as messaging middleware in production.
Side note: It is depressing that the question winds up being asked this way (EDIT: while ignoring how depressing it is that it is an existing question in the first place) !

Instead it should be: "Is it generally easy for employers to get permission from their employees to be assigned all rights for code they write in private?"
I think their AI is already doing that.
Stupid car analogy:

Introducing spy cars with real time state captured GPS, remote control and killswitch and always on police surveillance (audio/video).

I assure you everybody noticed peak conventional oil though (peak production in north sea was 2005 i think?). According to WEO the conventional/crude oil production peaked in the west in 2007 (between 2005 and 2010). This could've caused a production slump and might have affected other markets in the US. A bubble burst rarely happen in a nutshell.

Oil-dependent countries like Italy and Spain realized their "euro crisis" was a production crisis (and certainly not a liquidity crisis), caused by a lack of energy availability (Lybia war did not help with oil import tbh, and algeria/Syria peaked around 2010). There is a reason why they are changing their energy mix, its not only because "green" is better.
Well done, This is amazing app.

I don't want to get into the free speech issues, or banning orders in general, but this seems to me to be that moment we look back on and say "oh yes, online and offline stopped being separate things".
But, again, that's not something a country can unilaterally control.

If a nation's neighbors have the capability to fight a years long war, but that same war would bankrupt the nation, then the

The game theory of the situation (again, from an individual nation's perspective) means no one nation will "remove the ability to do this" unless there's a massive collective action.
>> Our government isn't supposed to do this stuff.

Except that "our government" regularly does this. There are all sorts of speech that we censor (copyright violations, violence, porn, hate etc). We don't think of it as wrong that our laws restrict such speech. Other countries have different laws restricting different speech. Certainly some countries have greater restrictions than others, but absolute freedom of speech is not a practical reality anywhere. Real anger should pointed not at twitter but at the countries who implement restrictions with which we disagree.
> Being blocked from twitter is ... a non-event.

Good, then by extension leaving the person on Twitter is also a non-event. So it seems there is no need for censorship here!
>The younger generation get social value by being the saddest person in the room.

I don't think that's fair. I don't think those people are doing it to seek attention. What I do see is people get stuck in a spiral of rumination. It's important to understand how your past impacts who you are today, and your base temperament. If you understand that, you can work around your weaknesses. From there, you grow.
do they really do that? or do you just mean DMCA?
>"Twitter is not a government entity. Full stop."

That's exactly my point. You can violate the principles of liberty freely as long as you aren't "the government". And the beauty of it is that people will defend you while you do it.
I am seeing a lot of resentment in this thread. My best guess is that some of it is deserved and some of it isn't.

Something that this thread reminded me of is the fact that several of my friends (millenial like myself) think that bringing children into this world is a bad thing to do- with global warming and other social problems making it so that this choice is just going to cause more suffering. I wasn't too surprised to hear this from them, knowing their personalities.

When the millenial zeitgeist has drifted in a direction where this is a common opinion, I take it to indicate that our socialization has taught some of us that humans have little inherent moral worth as individuals, the values of a family are subservient to the values of globalism, and all is nihilistic considering that we have a poor shot at solving the worst of our problems(the Nash equilibrium doesn't seem to be working out for global warming).

This observation makes me turn back towards family values. They work better than nihilism for me.
US First Amendment:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It prohibits Congress from restricting the press or individuals to speak freely via laws that Congress writes. The 1st amendment has nothing to do with Corporations restricting things in their purview. The 1st amendment doesn't apply to any social media or online commentary by people. It might apply to the "press" since online news is more pervasive than physical newspapers. What would be interesting is a clearer definition of press as it relates to social media accounts.

I have seen many move to VB by following that path on life science research labs that tend to be Windows based, as per reading devices and laboratory robots.

I feel nauseous when I accidentally stumble into Reddit shame and pity fests.

I’m honestly terrified of what my children will blame on me some day.

Just an example off the top of my head: “aita for cutting off my parents because they kicked me out of the house when I was 18?”, followed by thousands of comments digitally lynching the parent in question and wallowing in the terrible trauma the OP experienced.

I wasn’t planning on kicking my kids out at 18, but the responses had me crying for the poor parent.

There’s no nuance in internet discussion. People read a sentence, attach their own worst demons to it, then flay them alive for all to see.

My own step sister has gone full q anon now, but before that repeatedly posted about her traumatic childhood with no real specifics. When pressed for details, the worst she could come up with was that her dad yelled sometimes and introduced her to a few too many girlfriends.

There are many rare events that a country would still want to protect itself against.

"Should be sufficient" and "Will be sufficient" are different enough to cause anxiety for people who have to safeguard against those kinds of outcomes.
I feel like "they are a private company" is a NO U argument - after Comcast spent the better half of a decade arguing against common-carrier/Net Neutrality rules on the same basis. Right-wingers were very supportive of this argument when it protected ISPs, even though the result was more social media consolidation that ultimately harmed right-wingers.

That being said, we do need to be cautious of extending the (legal) definition of censorship out this far. You run the risk of defining censorship to include any sort of counter-speech, or making it impossible to legally moderate Internet platforms for any purpose. "Anyone who provides an Internet platform must be willing to host any and all speech whatsoever" just means nobody will want to host such forums.

Something like common-carriage for large social media platforms could work - though it won't give the right wing what they want. Most of them absolutely were violating those platforms rules, and common-carriage won't let them back on those platforms. The reason why I say common-carrier rules would be a good thing for large Internet platforms is because in practice companies like Twitter and Facebook adopted a policy of "let world leaders do what they want on our platform", up until January 2021. This is not at all a defensible policy. If you have a rule against doing something on your platform, why let people in power do it anyway?
> And the satellites, being at 100x higher altitude, are 100x more spread out than the airplanes.

This doesn't feel right. Shouldn't the right frame of reference be the distance to the center of the earth, not the sea level? Then it is not a 100x difference, but more like a 10% one.

This is just warmed-up McCarthyism. Reading a rant from a right-wing source isn't actually evidence of anything. And the Soviet Union has been dead for thirty years.

It is the same warzone though. But the people fighting it from the right look increasingly like the one Japanese guy who refused to acknowledge the surrender until the 1960s.
I am not sure I agree with this framing.
Equivalent framing: separate the genders since rape is possible, even if rape is punishable by death.

I've never won 1st, but I've won a ton of sponsor prizes at hackathons.

My strategy:

0. Try to recruit a diverse team, you really only need 1, max 2 engineers. If it's an industry hackathon, try to get an industry expert/insider.

1. Try to identify competitions that less people will compete for. For example, everyone does the fun crypto/AI/ML competitions. Without knowing anything about the space, I'm 2 for 2 at supply chain industry focused competitions.

2. Focus on the business solution and your presentation before the code.

3. Focus on frontend/visual code and sponsor APIs before backend code, the backend can almost always be hardcoded.

4. Save time to do a good writeup, readme, take pictures and videos, etc. Explain what you built clearly using multiple forms of media.

I don't think the distinction is as clear as you imply. Facebook is a multinational corporation that is arguably more powerful than many governments, and it can and has swayed elections.

At what point are Facebook's "moderation" decisions "censorship"? You're effectively saying that it's only when moderation is driven by some kind of government policy, which completely erases the factors that actually matter in evaluating the danger of any given suppression decision, ie. understanding of harm, considerations of power and oppression, etc.
I don't disagree. It is dystopian, but so is a single country having access to the majority of the world's transactions.
I agree the impact of divorce on children is often over looked. In many cases the damage is far worse to the developing child than to the people actually getting divorced. The parents get freedom, the child gets a broken family where the top priority is not as it should be biologically, raising a well adjusted child into a competent adult, but rather with the parents meeting their own needs at the expense of the child. Then when the child is an adult and not well adjusted, often in large part due to consequences of the divorce and idiosyncratic needs that were overlooked by parents prioritising themselves, the parents can not understand why the divorce had such a large impact on the child. What they miss in their narcissitic myopia is that while mom and dad already had grown up into stable well balanced person the child had not and the process was interrupted by the divorce and sequelae.

I heard this advice in relation to doing chores-- don't think about the pile of dishes you need to do, then you'll never do the dishes. Just motivate yourself to do a single dish. Once you are in the context of doing dishes, the second dish comes much easier, then the third, and before you know it the dishes are done.
If I look at GMs global sales for 2019 it would be 7.72 million which is almost 800k.

It will be interesting to see if the big global car companies will be able to beat Tesla on things like quality manufacturing, serviceability, and cost. Tesla is not appealing to me due to the premium cost combined with a cheap interior, non-serviceability ($1600 for eeprom from excessive logging!) and over reliance on software. Not to mention the $10k self driving vapor ware Elon pushes.

Excited to see what GM, Ford, MB and BMW will offer in the coming years.
An A380 at MTOM has about 15% payload (pax, cargo) and about
40% airplane, so a full 45% fuel. And kerosene has about 30 to 90x the specific energy (energy per mass) as current batteries, so for an electric airplane the numbers would be much worse. (Plus the Airbus doesn't have to carry the fuel it has burned, while an electric plane does have to carry the empty batteries.)

TLDR: Long range air travel with batteries is a long time off.
The digital clock in my car audio is half of the year correct and half of the year one hour off, except after replacing battery when it's a random number.

No it was due to the officially-endorsed fiber optic cables sitting in plain sight and the fact that they do business with so many other parties.

I work with some intermediate vendors in this space (they have direct access to the credit bureau data), and their security mechanisms are of concern. I am under some very strict NDA constraints, but I can say that there are serious problems and I am not surprised that breaches occur with regular frequency.

You can barely trust your own in-house developers to get these things right. How can you possibly hope to trust many other additional parties to get it right simultaneously as well?

When one government/party (implicitly or explicitly) gets twitter to put content favorable to it to the detriment of its opponents, right there, twitter lost the script, and the moral standing.

the talk of legality is nonsense, because there are jurisdictions where anything can be made legal.

The vast majority of the world will be better off with a twitter/fb etc cut down to size, and the current massive power of social media networks being reduced.

I agree Twitter should be able to censor, but the government shouldn't be able to ask Twitter to do so.

This article is specifically about the government asking Twitter to do so.
It sounds like you're conflating market incentives with government misconduct.

Governments "can do this" because we're letting them get away with it. Plain and simple. The money is mostly irrelevant in the matter.

The fact that Twitter has an incentive to follow the law and preserve its own existence is beside the point.
