Those of us who are cynics saw things of this nature coming a mile away. I'm no graybeard but I'm still old enough to remember Microsoft of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Being a sort of corporate misanthrope seems baked in to Microsoft's DNA, at least from my outsider's perspective. The brief and now-concluding era of tech optimism that was born of "Don't Be Evil" has shown us that corporations gonna do what corporations gonna do.

Never trust Microsoft. You might know Microsoft employees but by and large Microsoft is not your friend.
What we learned is that Facebook knows it's platform is a huge conduit for spreading lies and disinformation and FB chooses to do nothing about that while raking in dump truck loads of cash.
Procuring for a Pandemic: Assessment of Hubei PCR Procurement
Hi, founder of Quest here. Yeah I guess it is! We're building an audio Q&A app where experts answer questions in short audio clips. We're starting with career advice and are already hosting 100+ speakers so far.
That’s the impression I get, not so much JIT but rather limiting supply budgets as much as possible. A lot of companies tout Toyota as the pinnacle of manufacturing without realizing that they are not Toyota and there was more to Toyota’s success than JIT.
Are you intending to claim that the second half of the 20th century isn't contemporary?

I'm not a historian, but I've understood "contemporary" as a term that refers to events that have occurred in the lifetimes of active historians. Given that a decent chunk of the US's population was alive in 1968 and hasn't even retired yet, it probably fits neatly into that category.
"You ain't black if you don't vote for me" - Biden

I don't know the context of the statement you mentioned, but I doubt it points to him being a white supremacist.

Even what Biden says doesn't make someone a white supremacist (though his voting comment was bad), some things are just a slip of the tongue.

The least expensive way, if you have a networking presence in their service region, is to retain the services of a sponsoring LIR in the RIPE area. For example, Securebit will do it for 60CHF setup and 15CHF per year: https://www.securebit.ch/internet/resources

Snapserv is 150EUR per year but comes with an assigned provider independent IPv6 block: https://snapserv.net/services/ripe/

If you really want to dive into the shark tank of cutthroat sponsoring LIRs, look at this thread on LowEndTalk: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/160162/the-aio-ip-rela...

You need to show that you will have connectivity through two upstreams to justify receiving an ASN. This is easy to do, pick two providers from bgp.services (or pick one other provider and also list Securebit's tunnelbroker.ch service).

You will also need to show that you have a network presence in the RIPE service area. This is also easy to do, rent an inexpensive dedicated server or a couple of BGP virtual machines in Europe and have a copy of the invoice ready to give to your chosen sponsoring LIR.

Regarding IPv6 blocks, there are two types of IP space assigned from the registries: provider aggregated and provider independent space. The latter is directly assigned to you as an end user for your own use (you can't assign it to customers for their networks, for example). If you have PI space, you can move it from one LIR to another without changing numbers. The free IPv6 space that LIRs and others will lend you is PA space so you can't take those numbers with you. There's no real distinction if you are just learning, but you might want to choose a sponsoring LIR bundle that comes with PI IPv6 space in case you think you might change LIRs and want to keep your existing IP setup.

Oh, one other thing: the provider independent assignments from RIPE are /48, or the smallest IPv6 subnet that can be announced (akin to an IPv4 /24). If you want to announce multiple IPv6 subnets into the global BGP table, you will need a larger allocation, usually from your sponsoring LIR. Every sponsoring LIR I've seen will give you anywhere from a /44 to a /40 for free and that's many /48s for you to play with.

(It's no longer possible to get PI IPv4 space from registries. You'd have to buy it on the open market and it is expensive. You can either buy IPv4 PA space from the open market or you can join RIPE and get a single /24, and both are expensive.)
> The whistleblower is telling us that FB knows very well (with scientific studies) the harm they're causing, and decided not to do anything just because this would cut their profits.

Do you have a link for the leaked research or the pointer to what we know FB knows? It's been difficult to figure out what exactly this is. The reporting on this has been terrible, what exactly has the whistle been blown over?
Are those positions really ideologically consistent though, or based on any underlying political philosophy?

Were the “anti police” people at any of the protests for Ashli Babbitt? Were any of them any of the protest for the prisoners being held for crimes like “conspiracy to commit interstate commerce” after the January 6th riot? How many anti civil asset forfeiture people also believe in “red flag laws”?

Leftist political philosophy is authoritarian; that doesn’t mean that sometimes left-voters don’t accidentally protest authority when it suits them.

A violent revolutionary trying to topple a western liberal democracy to replace it with a communist dictatorship is locally anti authority, but authority is still the core of the political philosophy. They just want to get rid of the existing authority because they don’t think it is strong enough.
I said they have their faults. I find it much worse that the western world enabled that behavior. We are supposed to be more enlightened. Soldiers are claiming to have PTSD from having to hear the screaming of little boys in the next room. That only happens if you know it's wrong. I don't blame the soliders however this was a foreign policy choice.
This traditionally has not been log level's use case.

syslog() and setlogmask() being the obvious examples.

Many (if not all) companies I have worked out filtered out everything DEBUG at compile time to improve performance in production as well.

The best option I've seen is putting everything in DEBUG or lower into a memory ring buffer per process that's dumped and collated with other logs at each ERROR/FATAL log.
EDIT: I removed a misquote from this comment after another user pointed out my mistake.

There do appear to be a few legitimate concerns worth investigating, but it’s starting to feel like the media has sensed that Facebook is the villain du jour and they’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. These stories seem to dance around the subject of what exactly Facebook did, but instead focus on the existence of a whistleblower. If there was a story here, I feel like they’re working hard on overplaying their hand at the risk of losing the audience once the initial frenzy wears off. That’s fine for media companies who can move on to the next bogeyman, but it’s not going to help the underlying cause.

> seems to think big tech doesn't do enough censorship

It's worse than that. The "whistleblower" thinks that world governments don't mandate enough censorship of big tech - i.e. they're not doing their part to enable the regulatory capture that entrenches the established players.
"I also have gotten advice to dye my hair." - sorry if this is a little off-topic, but, it strikes me how lucky us blokes are. That's about the most "appearance advice" we'll get in the workplace, while women feel pressurised to wear make-up at work, select their clothes super carefully etc. Maybe experiencing ageism might have a silver lining if it helps men empathise more with the kind of nonsense women go through daily in the workplace...
So you sound like you are probably a lot more educated about politics than I am, so hopefully I can learn something from you, but I think one problem in practice is that collectivist views always seem to end in authoritarianism. Even in the U.S., the unions that resulted from collectivism became authoritarian and corrupt in their own right, the teacher's unions of America being a prime example of corruption and authoritarianism. Similarly, the auto workers unions have been a death knell to the American auto industry.

Anarchism isn't really a valid practical stance. Once you burn down the existing system, something has to replace it, and, to my limited knowledge, that has always been a dictatorship of some kind. Maybe that's just the simplest government one can form. Similarly, collectivist organizations always seem to result in top-down totalitarian regimes when they win the government.

America worked because the original founders were willing to give up power even though the people wanted to make them kings. At the same time, they established a system that made it hard for any one person or group to quickly amass political power. It seems like the left have, for the past century, been successfully dismantling the separation of powers, starting with Woodrow Wilson.
and be completely rid of their influence on you

This isn't true at all. First, I'd lose my connection with a lot of people because Facebook keeps buying alternative messaging services and social group management products. Second, the people who are on Facebook can organize real-world events that affect me. Facebook might even actively recommend more people to join those events. Third, they lobby Congress and state/local governments to get regulations in their favor, tax breaks, housing projects approved, etc. (This ties back to point one because in some countries, WhatsApp is the only contact method for most people and businesses.) Fourth, news articles are now written for maximum engagement on Facebook. Even if you go to a news website directly, that content has been shaped by FB's algorithms.
>Obvious easy evaders got their fine, people in political positions stepped down, new regulations were made to make it a bit harder.

Any place I can explore any of these consequences? Who got fined? Who stepped down? What regulations happened because of it?

Not challenging your assertions or anything. This whole problem space is alien to me. The only thing I have to latch on to is that the revelations keep happening, which to me indicates a continuing problem.

There is also "about:profiles". Granted not pretty like Chrome profiles but it is there.

For me, one profile with "Temporary Containers" and "Multi-Account Containers" works well enough.
> Polarization was lower when TV political coverage was regulated.

No, it wasn't.

Partisan polarization may have been, but only because the divide between the major parties didn't capture the major salient ideological divisions in the country, so that the polarization that existed didn't align with partisan identity.

This had nothing to do with TV regulation (and, indeed, predates TV), and everything to do with the long period of partisan realignment between the New Deal and the mid-1990s.
>>>>Microsoft engaged in some strange behaviour with regard to its WinGet project, finding out all the details of an existing open-source project called AppGet by dangling the prospect of a job at Microsoft for its creator, but then in effect killing that open-source project though borrowing many of its ideas. Littles was more than disappointed.<<<<

This is a misunderstanding of what open source means. I has zero to do with community. You may think that, but that doesn't make it true. Open source is only about license. It means you, as the copyright owner, give permission for others to use the software royalty free, and you can modify the software as you wish. With permissive license, you don't even have to give us the changes you made. But you do need need to keep the original copyright.

THAT'S ALL IT HAS EVER MEANT.

Now, a lot of open-source is created in a community. But this things about how so-and-so took the source-code and ideas from another projects and reused it, whether that act is done by the big guy or the small guy, or the project you took from ends up getting killed, that's just too bad.

Don't join the game and then complain about the rules later.

Debrief (YC W21) Is Hiring a founding growth and a founding product engineer
Notably, it's not even clear how much less "free shit" we'd get without spying-funded "free" services ruling the Web landscape. Those services don't just compete with paid alternatives, they compete with actually free. I think it's likely open protocols and open source software would see a surge of interests from users and developers working on them if they didn't have hundreds-of-developers paid teams with advertising budgets competing with them and giving their work away "for free" (with spying). Now, I hesitate to guess how much this factor would make up for the loss, but the amount of free shit we'd lose by outlawing spying-based advertising is surely less, by some amount, than 100% of what it currently funds.
> where a new forecast doesn't change anybody's reaction any more

That's the original proposition I was working with. Obviously, if the amount of published forecasts finite, then the amount of decision changes in response to such publications will be finite too.

Now that I think about it, a forecast that causes nobody to change any plans is pretty useless and is effectively indistinguishable from the trivial "empty" forecast which got to be the unique fixed point of this whole forecasting exercise.

>Blaming Facebook for societies' problems is far too easy. People manage(d) to get into civil wars, genocides, etc.

People die eventually anyway, why should we blame murderers? The obvious answer is that speeding up a negative result is still bad even if that result is eventually inevitable.

> Domestic US political issues will not be resolved by making Facebook disappear (why does it not seem to have similar impact everywhere?)

The US system of government is much more prone to polarization with its first past the post voting and two party system. That said, polarization is increasing across the world. One of the things the whistleblower mentioned in her 60 Minutes interview is that European political parties complained that Facebook incentivizes taking more extremist political positions.

No one thinks that killing Facebook will magically fix everything, but it will at least help slow the rate of things getting worse. Think of it like climate change. Reducing carbon emissions won't retroactively fix the damage already done, but the important first step is to stop things from getting worse.

Nope, we still can't afford the price tag on an audit. Perhaps I'm jaded or biased because I'm a former Tox dev, but Tox is the only encrypted messenger I'd actually trust. I consider myself to be pretty good a security, but that's just me and you shouldn't take anyone's word for it themselves. That said if you have an actual cause reason to be concerned, I'd be interest in hearing it?
This is just so ridiculous because "rational argument" is notoriously difficult to define. Descartes believed logic itself was a form of rhetoric. I forget where he wrote this comment, but its context included a very interesting discussion about the relation of logic to philosophy.

We are all acquainted with logic here. We know that all logical deductions arise from a foundation of axioms. In the domain of human affairs, axioms are akin to belief. Therefore, each set of beliefs lends themselves to a different set of deductions. Who is to say which set of beliefs are the right ones?

If I believe in the Christian God, and I say that abortion should be illegal because it is the taking of a sacred life. Am I being irrational?

This "paradox" that is constantly brought up is just absurd. I must believe that Popper said this in passing and didn't take it too seriously, but perhaps someone can correct me.

Facebook is repeatedly banning politicians in a political party. Denying them a voice.

Abraham Lincoln was not even on the ballot in several states. That did not go well.

Politicians yelling at each other is a sausage factory, but good in that it keeps them busy. It’s alarming when a large portion of the population feels they no longer have any voice whatsoever.

Now a big difference these days is that government surveillance is so incredibly tight that any one wanting to start unapproved trouble will be hunted down quickly.
The same can be said of any attempt to measure 'merit'. Whatever is called 'meritorious' is simply so because of cultural and historical happenstance.
People use horse dewormer to treat covid, it's really not surprising that they'd inject shroom juice.

If you want to learn about one case of this, there's a doctor on YouTube that does great narrative style videos of things like this that are very easy to understand with links to sources. He did a great video on this topic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmiowRlk8Xc

An interesting tidbit I learned from that video is that psilocybin isn't known to be active, but your liver breaks it down to psilocin which is.

IIUC, telecoms in DE charge the originator of the call for call completion, while in the US, telecoms charge the originator and the recipient.

As such, US telecoms have a vested interest in completing scam/spam calls while that is not the case in DE.

20-29 is twenty something, already they need more beds than the 80%+ of 80+ year olds that vaccinated and those 20 somethings aren't the ones who know they had a medical problem unless they were seven orders of stupid and still didn't vaccinate.

Looking at the older working age groups we have more than 50% vaccinated in most and something like 100X less chance the vaccinated go to hospital. So if you hate restrictions then get vaccinated so we don't have to come up with creative ways to protect a hospital bed from you.

*Those numbers are not since the pandemic began but since the vaccination began. The oldest age group and people with health issues were vaccinated first so comparisons should be biased against the vaccinated, but it is too effective to see that bias.
I dont't disagree with the rule of law (to put it mildly) but not sure this is what is at stake here.

>How it all works is very unknown to the average parent.

No one complains about not knowing how proximity sensors work in their car. They're just happy that they work and there is in theory someone who keeps the manufacturers responsible.

And I think that's the real issue here. Software for years has been treated outside of some very small instances as a value added affair and thus not worthy of investigation or oversight beyond those who fund such development. So all software companies outside of specific situations have been allowed to do what they will so long as it works well enough. Now it seems the situation has gotten more complicated because of the impact of software on non-software conditions/situations. But giving it over to Congress who currently is dominated by the Silent Generation and Boomers who aren't largely as tech savvy or educated to write legislation that will likely benefit Facebook and destroy the Internet as we know it (probably returning to a version of AOL and the like) is in my opinion the worse possible option.

I'm not for laissez faire policies but I'm certainly skeptical of Congress not intentionally making claims that their laws will protect privacy all the while they open the Facebook surveillance machine to law enforcement to spy on me and my own in violation of the 4th amendment. And knowing how this SCOTUS who's been virulently anti-privacy especially among the conservative justices then this will be much worse.
Yeah that gave me pause as well. Just says it like it’s a well known tenet of American political thought.
