But with moderators on a forum, it is private censorship all the way.

The issue is when at gunpoint people take my money from me, then use that money to fund more guns to point at the Twitters et al. of the world.

If I don't like moderation on a forum, I just leave the forum. I don't _have_ to give my support to it.

I can't just not support the US government.
> No one has ever had a “freedom to demand others broadcast my personal speech at great technical and financial cost”.

Common carriers cannot moderate message contents or discriminate based on senders/receivers. Social media now does both, but they could arguably be regulated under common carrier laws. They are of course not obligated to do this for free, but that's their business model.

We had a recent discussion on this from a paper written by a legal scholar, so I suggest you check it out:

The starlink satellites are traveling a little bit faster than your average car though. They complete an orbit about every 100 minutes. So your 8000 satalites are covering much more ground than the same 8000 cars.
I don't think I understand that either. My view of family is definitely one of obligation not understanding.
it’s not simply wordplay when they defined their understanding of these terms explicitly.

with that said, neither moderation nor censorship should be tolerated for (political) speech by any (large) organization or bureaucracy, because they are using outsized power to influence opinions unduly, and thereby stripping us of our independence (literally coercing conformation). we can otherwise quibble about drawing a small line at the very far end of the slope where child porn lives.
I spent a fair amount of time with this yesterday!

WOW
Starlink is at low enough orbits that even if the entire constellation spontaneously exploded all the debris would deorbit within ~5 years
2040 is so far off it’s as if they just punting the ball down the line for the next generation to deal with. Why not 2050 or 2200?
On most days there are up to 20,000 airplanes (which are 100-1000x larger than satellites) in the sky. And the satellites, being at 100x higher altitude, are 100x more spread out than the airplanes.

So just from a "unusable space" point of view, it's on the order of 10000x less of a problem than airplanes. The caveats here are the satellites are moving much, much faster than airplanes, and they stay in the sky much, much longer.

But it's not really a huge problem unless stuff goes wrong and you get Kessler Syndrome. This is more of a risk with the higher constellations like Amazon's and OneWeb's than it is with SpaceX Starlink (which is in a low enough orbit to de-orbit all debris within a few years, rather than centuries).
That’s a blatant lie, or more generously, harmfully ignorant perspective.

Academics, thinkers, have been warning about private power eroding public for decades.

Oh sure SV specifically is new NOW, but they haven’t done anything Walmart didn’t do to little communities decades before, or ATT hasn’t done; co-opt control of public government for private gain.

I’m done with this community. It’s a bunch of ostriches who are equivocating their failures as political agents; don’t login. They lose their power.

Stop living in the bespoke simulation in your head.
Running over the public internet does not mean you rely on unknown third party mail servers. If I address a message to foo@apiendpoint.mycustomer.com, only the servers configured to handle mail for apiendpoint.mycustomer.com and my sending server is involved in the exchange. And that is if you trust MX records for this exchange rather than have the customer input the address of the receiving SMTP server directly.
You probably have resist fingerprinting turned on
I understand this even less. A child being forced by the economy to be a white collar urban worker would automatically cause their parents to behave toxically towards them? Again, I feel like steps are being skipped here. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that I don't understand the connection and would appreciate elaboration.
I don't know what you mean by "large" then. In the context of this discussion, I meant train stations served by high speed rail and airports with regularly scheduled commercial service. The former vastly outnumbers the latter in continental Europe.
> but it does sound like you probably couldn't keep detailed logs.

Or backups.
Yeah, legally you own nothing buying NFT. NFT is just a record in blockchain that some digital stuff is in the exact link. And if the host server goes down, this digital stuff will be lost.

But from another point of view buying NFT you get an everlasting record telling that some piece of digital good (art, collectibles, etc.) belongs to you.

I can understand the motivation of collectors that buy NFT not for speculating purposes but for an opportunity to have mathematical proof that some piece of the internet belongs to them.

What if we see NFT like that? Maybe I see it wrong, what do you think?
Think of it more of "integration with a host environment's runtime" than a "adding a runtime to wasm directly."

Server-Sent Events are very reliable. What you might be thinking of is the fact that you probably shouldn't rely just on server push. But that doesn't mean you should use long polling.

You should use normal short polling and Server-Sent Events.

Also it makes no sense to say long polling is more reliable than SSE, because SSE is essentially a non-hacky implementation of long polling.
There are two probable problems:

a) debris damaging other satellites or space stations. There currently is no proper liability currently and different monitoring systems are still in development

b) astronomy from earth will see problems.

As long as they are on their orbits there is enough space (haha) and if they don't cause conflict with radio frequencies they also don't cause issues

"Actually, for some time now I have given some thought to opening a film school. But if I did start one up you would only be allowed to fill out an application form after you have walked alone on foot, let's say from Madrid to Kiev, a distance of about five thousand kilometres. While walking, write. Write about your experiences and give me your notebooks. I would be able to tell who had really walked the distance and who had not. While you are walking you would learn much more about filmmaking and what it truly involves than you ever would sitting in a classroom. During your voyage you will learn more about what your future holds than in five years at film school. Your experiences would be the very opposite of academic knowledge, for academia is the death of cinema."

This brings to mind the South Park episode "I'm a little bit country" (Episode 100)

Hancock:
Mr. Franklin, where do you stand on the war issue?

Franklin:
I believe that if we are to form a new country, we cannot be a country that appears war-hungry and violent to the rest of the world. However, we also cannot be a country that appears weak and unwilling to fight to the rest of the world. So, what if we form a country that appears to want both?

Jefferson:
Yes. Yes of course. We go to war, and protest going to war at the same time.

Dickinson:
Right. If the people of our new country are allowed to do whatever they wish, then some will support the war and some will protest it.

Franklin:
And that means that as a nation, we could go to war with whomever we wished, but at the same time, act like we didn't want to. If we allow the people to protest what the government does, then the country will be forever blameless.

Adams:

I was estranged from my parents, and I am also in the process of adopting a child. This led me to think a lot about the sort of relationship I want with my children, versus what my parents and I have.

I believe my parents had me because they feel like it was their duty, and they fulfilled their parental obligations fairly well in that regard. The trouble is that they didn't consider what it was like to have an adult son. Now they probably realise that I'm not the sort of person they like (I'm gay, and living in a different country). They don't call anymore, and even when I call them they only talk about themselves. They have no interest in me or my life.

I hope that whomever is having children right now should think very thoroughly about what kind of relationship they want with their kids once they grow up.

Yeah, talking to strangers is not a thing in my country.

that's not a design disaster, that's a company privacy disaster. The cookie laws just make transparent and explicit the amount of tracking that businesses engage in. The target of your criticism should not be the EU, it should be websites who put stumbling blocks into the user experience because they want to force you to consent to their data gathering. Compliance could be very simple without any cookie banners, just let the user opt-in and turn it off by default.
Databases and other 3rd-party daemons go in Docker because I can install the same version with the same tools pretty much anywhere. Even if it's not being deployed with Docker, the docker-compose file documents exactly the version and config the project expects, and is guaranteed to be correct assuming everyone developing uses it. This also means it's trivial to run several versions, and to add/remove/update/start/stop them independently, including any data or "cruft" files. If Docker were to vanish, the answer would become Vagrant running some very common and stable Linux distro with either a config shell-script or ansible yaml, for similar reasons. Documentation, consistency, and isolation.

Some people use the above for their projects themselves, for similar reasons, but I just use the now-ubiquitous env and version-manager programs for that (nvm, rvm, that kind of thing). Again: documentation, consistency, and isolation. Even if your dev set-up isn't used for deployment, if it's scripted then it's also accurately documented. As for language-specific libraries and tools, even if a few are in some package manager, I wouldn't rely on them. The language's own package manager will work everywhere, will probably be more (maybe much more) up-to-date, and you're going to need it for some stuff, inevitably, so you may as well use it for everything the project needs from that language.

[EDIT] notably, this way of working means none of my/our projects give a shit what OS or package manager anyone is using. Prefer macports to homebrew? Running Void Linux? Slackware? Probably even Windows (I dunno, who cares, it's Windows, but probably it works)? Go nuts with that, live your best life or whatever, the projects don't care. You'll likely need to manually create a Linux VM for Docker if you're on a BSD, but if you're on a BSD that will be the least inconvenience you face this week. I truly don't get why anyone would just "brew install postgresql" or "apt install postgresql" and use whatever happens to come down as an implicit project dependency in this, the year 2021. Because you actually want to directly use a local database to do database things? Sure. For a project that will be distributed or deployed elsewhere? No no no no no. Not even if you're running the same OS as your servers. Or Ruby, or Node, or even your compilers if you can help it. You have to be more specific and keep your shit tidier than that if you don't want a bunch of pain, both now and later, and almost all of that's very easy to do now.
It seems to me that if you really want to be a despot, you should own the companies that control the flow of information. The beauty of it is that the Bill of Rights don't apply to you and you're not obligated to respect the rights it gives citizens because you aren't the government.

I’ve noticed a trend amongst other 30-somethings I know to adopt this sort of pop psychology which encourages people to look very, very closely at their childhoods. It’s a great idea to understand your upbringing, but it’s not a trivial effort to do it properly.

I don’t think it’s always a great idea for 2 reasons. One, it’s known that our memories change over time. Traumatic memories can become better than they should (it wasn’t that bad, right?), while frustrating memories can become worse than they should (every reiteration of the memory solidifies just how frustrating it was!). In general, this kind of reflection, unless we have external sources to affirm our recollections (siblings or a parent/adult we trust), seems like it could easily become counter productive.

Two, without understanding ourselves reasonably well in our present state, seeking out past events to construct an explanation of who we are can lead to some very bad science in which we attempt to explain things we poorly understand in ways that don’t make sense.

I’ve had several conversations with friends over the last 5 years or so in which they elaborated on weird stuff their parents did. In some cases it’s simply to acknowledge their influences and why they might be the way they are. In others, perhaps most, they appear to be looking for excuses and ways to apply blame externally.

This is obviously anecdotal. Maybe I hang out with weird people.

In any case I’ve always strongly encouraged people to navigate this kind of thing with a therapist or other family if possible. Doing this in a vacuum is very risky. It seems to lead to exactly what you’re outlining here. Children resenting parents for things that they believe negatively affected them, which the parents don’t even remember - or remember differently.

Of course they remember them differently though. They remember them from different frames of reference, different stages of mental development, and for different reasons!
>And if you kill a loved one by sharing COVID19? Or give them brain fog? That's not something I could live with.

The odds of this are far less than the odds of me killing my wife by taking a drive with her. In the same way that I can live with the risk of driving a car with her in it, I can live with this risk. Of course if that actually happened I would feel terrible, in both cases. But life is about weighing risks, and for now I'm comfortable with the risk of remaining unvaccinated.

No, I don't wear masks. That's a different ethical discussion. I don't feel or accept a moral burden for potentially spreading a virus in any case. I wouldn't walk about while sick of course, or have uninformed sex if I had an STD, but if I'm asymptomatic and end up accidentally giving someone an illness in the course of normal life, sorry, but that's just life. People who spread the flu accidentally are not immoral people, whether they get the flu shot or not. Likewise here.

These guys certainly exist but there are probably less of them than you think. So much bitcoin has been lost or stolen over the years that I think many of them are out of the game.

On top of that, they have to be careful. The actual market for cash<->bitcoin is very thin so cashing out is a long slow process. That said, there probably are a number of people who support themselves every month by selling enough bitcoin from their huge stash.
From my experience it's that moderately well-off to well-off older folks rarely recognize that the opportunities that enabled their lifestyle don't exist anymore.

For example, when I was in high school, I was told that just getting any college degree would enable me to get into a good paying career, or talking with older folks about buying a home, they rarely understand how unaffordable homes are now. Lots of older folks also seem to be completely surprised that people in their 20s and 30s don't want kids simply because of the cost. Or student loan debt, how many times have I heard someone in their 50s+ talk about how they worked hard so they didn't have any student loans when they left school while failing to acknowledge how much cheaper school was in the past?

Not all old people are unaware, but a significant amount are oblivious to how much worse the world is today.
This article doesn't go far enough to hold parents accountable for their actions IMHO. It's completely justified to go 'no contact' with a parent who was physically abusive, who is homophobic, etc.

I bristle at the implication that parents are owed anything. My relationship with my parents is based upon mutual respect as adults. Had they not at least made an effort to reconcile, we would not be on speaking terms today.

No, I agree that it's awful. I rarely want the volume when I get in and start the car to be the same as it was when I ended my last trip. And not "fiddling with the UI" is exactly why there should be a mechanical potentiometer knob that is always available by feel to let me quickly spin down the volume and get back to driving without being distracted or annoyed by the radio. The need for that in Reverse isn't any different than in Drive.

I agree to some degree, but what I don't get is the mechanism by which that's assumed to translate into toxicity, let alone enough toxicity to engender estrangement. Parents not understanding their children's world is as old as time, or at least as old as industrialization.

I experienced this myself to a pretty significant degree, and I wouldn't describe my parents' misunderstanding of the modern economy as "toxic" in any way, so my personal data point is not helpful here. Hence my question: what is the mechanism by which this understanding gap is assumed to lead to toxic behavior?

Why does it matter where the data is located?
I don't care what Twitter does. I just don't want the government mandating what it does. If a private company wants to censor, then sure.

But as soon as the government requests takedowns and shadowbans, that's majorly crossing the line into infringement of free speech.

The whole reason we constitutionally limit the governmental repression of free speech is because we're all made to support it. If I could chose to pay my taxes to an alternative, then fine, but we're made to pay taxes to a government that now can take down speech critical of it.
Isn't that abandonment of religion exactly the same estrangement that the article is talking about? The sexual revolution is all about realizing an identity built around personal growth and happiness; the young people who have bought into that idea have high expectations of religion, but get disillusioned with these organizations' failings and cut them off.
Right but they went out to everyone regardless of whether they were fully employed. This is unnecessary money being injected into the economy which results in inflation.

Also, as someone else mentioned the people who did need the checks were also being covered by other forms of welfare by the time the last one went out and you still have people getting checks that could easily go back to work now but are choosing not to.

There's a meaningful and important distinction between restrictions on speech that are enacted and enforced by private companies, and restrictions that are enacted by the government with enforcement outsourced to companies (that may be reluctant to comply).

Using the word "censorship" for the latter but a milder word like "moderation" for the former seems like a perfectly reasonable way to convey this distinction in this context, even if a dictionary might provide a broader definition of "censor".
