I completely agree with my sibling and I want to expand a bit on it/make it more clear.

You are fogetting something in your three step svn tutorial: svn add!

svn up <whatever> = git clone <whatever>
edit files = edit files
svn add <files> = git add <files>
svn commit -m "commit msg" = git commit -m "commit msg"

Now at this point in the simple workflow, yes you do _have_ to learn something new. You have to learn that git is always offline and you do need to actively push your commit.

git push

That's it. That is the _only_ difference to doing the same workflow you did with SVN with git.

Now if you were using SVN with a code review workflow, it is very likely that you used something like Atlassian's Crucible and you would use branches. Let's say you just for the first time pulled/did the initial svn up to get the code and now you're gonna work on your ticket using a code review based workflow with branches. So on svn you have trunk checked out and on git you are on master.

svn up <whatever> = git pull (this can be skipped in both, if you just svn upped/cloned for the first time before)
svn copy trunk branches/<branchForMyTicket> = git checkout -b <branchForMyTicket>
edit files, create new files etc.
svn add <files> = git add <files>
svn commit -m "commit msg" = git commit -a -m "commit msg"

At this point the same difference comes in that you already learned in the non code review workflow. You push, big deal, already learned.

git push

As the sibling pointed out, since we're using the command line here for the example, adding new files is the same for both, while editing existing files can be done differently. I.e. with svn you could skip the svn add, because svn commit will commit all changes files. With git you will have to learn to just always do `git commit -a`, which you might even alias. Personally I just add it myself when needed because sometimes I do _not_ want to do that. But I can totally understand why a newbie might not want to.

Now if we get away from the command line and just think in concepts that someone has to understand on top of svn while using a GUI, there really isn't much more than the "You need to push to actually publish your changes instead of commit always talking to the server right away". Most GUIs for version control present these simple workflows in _exactly_ the same manner, i.e. they do an implicit "git add" and "git commit -a" for you by default and you can select which files to actually commit by checking and unchecking checkboxes just like they allowed you to do for SVN.

Now we're actually at a problematic stage. How do you merge your branch into trunk/master? Maybe your code review tool allows for it via the web UI or maybe you need to do it yourself on the command line/GUI locally and push. This is where you will find that it's a pain in the rear with SVN, including lots of conflict potential, slow operations etc. and git will just be a breeze.
In a free society sites like liveleaks and wikileaks absolutely have a right to exist. As well as all the fringe conspiracy sites.

The problem with censorship by Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and Google is different. Here the government is putting pressure on the tech companies to censor content they don't like. Censor the bad people or risk antitrust action.

It's so gross and so clearly in violation of the first amendment. Even elected officials and professors are not exempted. It doesn't matter if you're elected by the people or if you're an expert in your field, if you say something that is considered 'misinformation' by the Ministry of Truth you get censored. It's outrageous, and if big tech doesn't change course we need to start building alternative platforms. But it might already be too late.
As triclops200 says, lossy image compression algorithms have long taken advantage of this. You might be interested in this page, Your Eyes Suck at Blue, which shows an image with the blue channel increasingly compressed:

The truth can also lead to real-world harm.
It's my understanding that the deepfake is voice only - but I might be mistaken.
Is this why I can't focus my eye on a blue LED while focusing on the surrounding area?
> since it necessarily requires the government slowly align, and converge, with those people, so they they are never offended and never cause harm.

"Those people" are not the ones who dictate whether something is hate speech. Whether someone is offended is not a factor in hate speech laws. When I said "incite people to harm others" I am talking about physical harm or violence. It is perfectly legal to offend people in Germany.
Indeed. One commenter below mentioned family getting evacuated in anticipation.

Also worth noting this event is still ongoing, so the "at least 120" number is likely lowballing.
Which effectively makes it a wealth transfer "for a good cause" so people will vote for it.

That made me chuckle. If it were the US, I think it would have to read, 'Which effectively makes it a wealth transfer "for a good cause" so people will vote against it.'

Or at least, a large number would, and the checks and balances put a heavy thumb on the side of "no". So in fact a majority of people would likely vote for it, but it still would not happen.
Agree totally. Both parties in the USA have had public hearing of the large tech companies. They were effectively given the ultimatum, censor or be be broken up. There was a fair bit of overlap but during the questions, the democrats were pro removal of fake news (this was during Trump's term) and the republicans were anti non competition, anti monopoly.

I doubt that platform to publisher is a wise move but it's probably the only one they could do.

As an aside, during the hearings it was Amazon that seemed less concerned...
You are not immune to censorship.

The things that you say and write now are very likely going to be put under a microscope in the future and be found wanting.

And you will have to choose between lying, keeping your mouth shut, and having your entire life (digital and personal) torn apart for not agreeing with whomever is deciding what's true that day.

If you want to have freedom of speech you have to have the freedom to say things that some people think are lies. And let other people do the same.

There are laws to deal with edge cases that are seriously damaging, like libel. Which, unsurprisingly, is quite hard to prosecute in the US due to first amendment protections.

Google banning illegal content is entirely reasonable. Kicking out users who are disruptive to the platform itself is also justifiable. This is not that.
50 Republican senators representing just 43.5% of the US population constantly bring the entire legislative process to a halt. You need a supermajority in the senate to get anything done in government these days.

If you think granting DC citizens federal government representation is a power play relative to what republicans get away with on a regular basis, you must be purposefully not paying attention.

That is rational, yes. I think pretty much everyone thinks this way, with differing definitions of both "promote" and "oppose", and "wrong" and "right".

Look into the PinePhone, it runs Linux and there are several distros. You can open the back of the phone and even swap it out with other backs that add functionality. They're working on a keyboard that looks a lot like the old Psion Series 5 keyboard. It replaces the back of the phone and turns it into a clamshell style device.

I keep hoping to see a fully end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer, uncensorable communications channel catch on... but if it hasn't caught on yet, I don't think it's ever going to. Too many people believe that "if you don't have anything to hide you don't have anything to fear" - so they figure if it looks like they're hiding something, they should have reason to fear.
I don’t see this as any different than getting an actor to play the part. This happens all of the time in docos for a more immersive experience. JFK voice comes to mind quite a bit as an example. Is it unethical to get an actor to play his voice?
Russia responding with direct action on American soil will play very poorly. I'm not convinced that, politically, they can do any such thing. They depend very heavily on motivating genuine Americans to do their direct action for them.

The IETF WG DBOUND tried to find a better solution to this problem and did not reach any consensus. fwiw.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dbound/about/

The current way most of this is handled is via a list published at
publicsuffix.org (commonly known as the "Public Suffix List" or "PSL"),
and the general goal is to accommodate anything people are
using that for today. However, there are broadly speaking two use
patterns. The first is a "top ancestor organization" case. In this case,
the goal is to find a single superordinate name in the DNS tree that can
properly make assertions about the policies and procedures of
subordinate names. The second is to determine, given two different
names, whether they are governed by the same administrative authority.
The goal of the DBOUND working group is to develop a unified solution,
if possible, for determining organizational domain boundaries. However,
the working group may discover that the use cases require different
solutions. Should that happen, the working group will develop those
different solutions, using as many common pieces as it can.
I would recommend you read the actual law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the PUBLISHER or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

So yes. In the actual law, there is something called a publisher, and the law is distinguishing the website from being something as opposed to a publisher.

So yes, there absolutely is a "distinction" being made here, regarding something that the law itself calls a publisher.
That's a pretty good idea for emailed PDF documents. Typically, I have received a link to a signing service, and editing is not enabled by their UIs of course.
You may have missed the various bits of the story that make it apparent that he was an intelligence asset, and connected to others.
And to be completely consistent with their censorship and account termination on Youtube, their app store, and ads, their justification for banning "misleading content" will be opaque and frustrating. And if they screw up, you'll get the old "inadvertent error" or "administrative error" catch all.

The support and excuses for why this should be acceptable is pretty much summed up as: as long as it's not my ox being gored it's fine!
Not a book, and not Cold War, but I think this talk does a good job outlining just how much of the silicon revolution came directly from WW2 military research. It also does a decent job of explaining how technologically advanced the aerial part of that war really was.

So this company has layered AI on top of pseudoscience and is selling it as an automated hiring tool. I guess the hiring decisions are 100% unbiased if the results are indistinguishable from noise? Or maybe your hiring decisions are "unbiased" if you launder them through this software to produce a team that looks like your existing team?

Either way, this Talview company is doing some really evil stuff.

>speaking ill on certain topics is modern-day heresy

The AUP would be more transparent if it simply banned "modern-day heresy". Folks would then be tagged as tech-heretics, and many would wear that badge with honor.

Calling questionable, unproven, unpopular or ambiguous information "misleading"-- it's a doublespeak. Worse, having my cloud drive spontaneously dumping or blocking my data because some algorithm or faceless reviewer disagrees with the content-- that's totally unacceptable as a consumer proposition. Is my Android phone next simply because I'm posting an HN comment Google might disagree with? Seriously, it's completely unworkable from a consumer position for Google to arrogate to themselves that power.

Spinning up containers is like the bare minimum I'd expect from an ops engineer, I wouldn't call it "trivial" but it's the job.

That's a business question, not an engineering one, if the businesses doesn't have a plan for revenue then hosting costs are irrelevant.
> Between 2010-2016 was the golden age for these companies actually being free and open.

Were they really though? I'm pretty sure there were plenty of things, especially things deemed to be "Intellectual Property violating", which were strictly banned on all these platforms far before 2010. One example is that Google has been removing search results for as long as I can remember.

In other words, what was in your perspective "free and open" was very restrictive and politically pro-corporate from my perspective --- hardly an "objective stance" but instead a very political stance on what was permitted and what was forbidden.
Actual Content:

Do not distribute content that deceives, misleads, or confuses users. This includes:

Misleading content related to civic and democratic processes: Content that is demonstrably false and could significantly undermine participation or trust in civic or democratic processes. This includes information about public voting procedures, political candidate eligibility based on age / birthplace, election results, or census participation that contradicts official government records. It also includes incorrect claims that a political figure or government official has died, been involved in an accident, or is suffering from a sudden serious illness.

Misleading content related to harmful health practices: Misleading health or medical content that promotes or encourages others to engage in practices that may lead to serious physical or emotional harm to individuals, or serious public health harm.

Manipulated media: Media that has been technically manipulated or doctored in a way that misleads users and may pose a serious risk of egregious harm.

Misleading content may be allowed in an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context, but please be mindful to provide enough information to help people understand this context. In some cases, no amount of context will allow this content to remain on our platforms.

How cool would it be if you could keep something like a sourdough starter (maybe a shelf with a half dozen jars that need tending 1-2 times a week) that would continuously produce the medications people need to live in their own homes.

It would almost certainly be more of a hassle than getting it from a pharmacy, and purification is probably a tricky step, but I think we're just a decade or two from this potentially becoming a reality.

> is that it's hard to tell if a particular C++ or Rust implementation conforms to the spec.

You can use either TLC's graph output or simulation mode to generate lots of TLA+ traces. Then you write an orchestrator that reads the trace as JSON and run the same actions in each step on the program, then confirm they have the same final states. You can go the other way, too, where you take program traces and map them onto the TLA+ state space.

It's a bit tricky to set up, but it's possible. I've had several clients who've built something similar.
I just cancelled my drive subscription.

I don't know how anyone could continue using it after this.

I probably have dozens of docs and hundreds of research papers contradicting government health advice on diabetes and heart disease. These would fall under "Misleading content related to harmful health practices" since they promote a health theory which the government considers harmful.

However I would have cancelled regardless since the idea of automatic bans and/or content deletion based on ML models is crazy. They are obviously going to find a lot a false positives and I can't deal with the idea of trying to speak to google to explain that their algorithm mistakenly flagged my innocent content. In other words even if you are the perfect citizen, there is a chance you will get flagged anyway.

But that is precisely the lesson history taught us. Misinformation, fundamentally, cannot be identified. It's easy to say "oh, everyone who believed that was an idiot" when talking about Galileo being thrown in prison for heliocentrism. If he was alive today, we'd be calling him a "far-right conspiracy theorist" or something equally as nasty.

I’ve read Little Pink House, and know very well the bastardization of eminent domain for private gain, corruption, and outright theft by government. I abhor it but eminent domain, and eviction, are not the same thing. They may lead to the same outcome, but they are two entirely different processes of government. Perhaps you might find the same read educational.

Paxos is a family of algorithms which are aimed at distributed consistency / monotonic state guarantees. However, Paxos allows for leaders with out-of-order logs to be elected leaders (provided they then reorder their logs) whereas Raft requires a server’s log to be up-to-date before it can be elected leader. Moreover, Raft has a reputation for having better understandability than Paxos.

edit: It looks like the linked paper covers the main differences, albeit in a more detailed manner. Also, it sems as if the author rejects the idea that Raft is more understandable and makes a case why he thinks Paxos is more understandable.
Reputation does not reset with every article Fox writes.

I think most religion is wrong, yet I'm not opposing that. I also think genocide is wrong, and yes, I'll oppose that. Same with anti-vax rhetoric.

While religion can be a real negative, it isn't generally the goal and often, there are good intentions. Genocide hurts people, though, through its nature. Anti-vaccine propaganda hurts folks as well. You simply cannot have these movements without hurting folks.
