A right to access to an audience, not a right to an audience.
I just recently left the auto industry. And I should lead with the fact that I was not ever directly involved with the autonomous driving development. That said, I don’t think anyone is remotely near level 5, and I’m frankly doubtful that level 4 will ever really ship. I don’t doubt that there are some really smart people working on this, but I think this is only ever going to be something that works on clear days with well-marked roads.
That's Godwin's law territory. I remember being taught in the very liberal NY schools I went to that the ACLU defending the free speech rights of Nazis in Illinois was part of the deal in a free society, and in this case we're not even talking about Nazis. But I'll defend to the death your right to say ridiculous nonsense.
> Western militaries have never heavily invested in SAMs?!

> Have you heard of the stinger, that the Ukrainians are using to great effect? The US also has the patriot and aegis systems which are really good air defense missiles. That’s not including THAAD, etc.

Not like the Soviet Union did. The article I'm trying to paraphrase said that SAMs were far more integral to Soviet air defense strategy than they were to Western air defense, which put more emphasis on using fighter aircraft for air defense than having the Army deploy different SAM systems for every need. Because the Soviets relied more on SAMs, then the West had to put more emphasis on counter-SAM weapons (which the Soviets has far less need to do).

Also the article noted that the exception is Western navies, which the article said were in a more similar situation to the Soviet Army. That's why the more capable US SAM systems have naval lineage.

I'll ask this question again: Twitter is garbage, why do people discuss important social & political issue there? At best twitter is able to accommodate to 2 opposing points of view in a "thread" (barely).

Most of the times, the so called thread is just a single narrative with very hard to track opposing comments here and there.

Forget it if you have more than 2 points of view on the topic.

And absolutely nothing nuance can be discussed.

I'd like to see a traditional news organization, say NYT, investing in an open forum platform, maybe decentralized, to help informing the public.

Facebook releases ads advocating for more privacy regulations
Facebook's website linked in the ads which mentions section 230:
https://about.facebook.com/regulations/

I have now seen multiple ads on how Facebook wants more regulation on privacy. The ads imply that without regulation other companies won't handle privacy as well as Facebook does. Below is one of the ads, but the one I watched (and can't find) talks more about regulations to help other companies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV79Dvwqo9Y

Of note, they want regulators to change section 230, which was created before MySpace, and has been interpreted to treat social media companies as "interactive computer services" rather than "content providers." The status quo protects Facebook from lawsuits, so I don't see the benefit outside of a PR campaign. I am for updating section 230 specifically because of Facebook's externalities, so I don't get the angle.

Besides looking like Facebook cares about privacy, why are they advocating for this?

I do. I know lots of people who believe things I believe are nonsense. You won't see me going around saying they should be censored.
> But the OPs comment was that the west ended invested in SAMs

That's not at all what I said. I suppose it would have been a little clearer if I had said "never invested as heavily" in SAMs compared to the Soviets, but I wasn't focusing on the West. I was making a point about Soviet-style forces fighting one another.

Nothing about that implies the West never invested in SAMs or has stopped doing so. It just means they're not as central to its air defense strategy.
> What system do you envision for bringing awareness of your product to new customers?

Directories, with extensive search and filtering and opt-in recommendation systems. Powered by ML or what have you.

Personally, as a consumer who is always looking for new shit to spend my money on, I have yet to see any ad that showed me something I actually liked or purchased.

Some of the best things I have discovered have been through word-of-mouth, manual searching or sheer luck. For example the GamingSuggestions sub on Reddit. (Please don’t ruin it with subversive marketing if any of you adholes are thinking of that)

Sadly almost every major market platform actively hinders and cripples their search and filter features, except maybe Steam. I don’t know why. Maybe they are afraid of competitors combing through their data?

I search for X and I get almost completely unrelated results, often paid ads hijacking the search terms.

Why is it so hard to search for, for example, an iPhone 12 Mini Red with 64 GB, and not see results for any other models, Samsung, or cases and other accessories and shit?

Worse, as-based systems vary by region. So even if I’m often searching for anime and manga, Google can’t seem to infer that I would like to see such results near the top when searching for related things, unless my IP is from Japan.

Just. Stop. Guessing.

I literally told you what I am looking for to spend money on, so only show me that, until I specifically request other similar products.

(I like the line, "A "new low?" From a Russian perspective, assuming they did it, it was brilliant. And it didn't require assassinating a former spy in a foreign capital with a radioactive isotope.")

There's nothing there about a "US instigated coup." What you're looking at are boring US State Department discussions of how to, yes, arrange to move the situation closer to something the US would like. Who to talk to, what to talk about. That's what they do. Here's the conclusion of the BBC diplomatic correspondent:

"The US is clearly much more involved in trying to broker a deal in Ukraine than it publicly lets on. There is some embarrassment too for the Americans given the ease with which their communications were hacked."

One should note that Russia was also engaged in shenanigans, including providing advisors in the operations to suppress the protests. (You don't see the phrase "the use of snipers to disperse crowds" very often.)

This phone call was released in early February 2014, during the protests. Unless you somehow believe that the US has mind-control technology that can cause tens of thousands of innocent people to risk their lives protesting their government, there is not a whole lot of US agency here.

I know this is hard to believe, but people outside the US are actually people, and have their own beliefs and values, and are capable of making their own decisions.
> Speaking from the UK, if you leave a safe stopping distance on a motorway then, invariably, the gap will be filled quickly with another car.

Absolutely correct. It is then your responsibility to put a safe stopping distance between yourself and _that_ car.

This isn't even a call to violence or targeted harassment. It's the opinion of a man about election results.
> I truly believe that if most Russians could SEE the death and destruction Putin is causing, he might actually get deposed.

I truly believe that's wishful thinking. Even if most Russians hated Putin, as long as he's got control over a strong domestic security apparatus and continued support from his cronies, he's not going to get deposed.
Ha! Never say 'never'.
I get all this from a mathematical standpoint, but from a programming standpoint is this really that hard to solve in something like Rust? Like for this class of problems, can't you just (say) route every I/O syscall (like open()/openat()/etc.) through a custom layer that properly validates the path? Like making sure none of the directories cross into procfs or all that? At that point you just need to prove the correctness of the path validation (which should be pretty doable by hand) and let the Rust compiler take care of proving memory safety in the program itself... right?

It’s true that YouTube is a private entity and should be able to do whatever is in its profit maximizing interest.

But, the issue that people are starting to react to is - are some platforms a natural monopoly?

Is it useful to have all user-generated public video clips be aggregated by one central provider? The answer seems like it’s yes.

If there’s only gonna be one platform, or it’s socially optimal to have one platform - is it right to give control of that to one entity into perpetuity?

That a political question.

correct if you are world traveler. but if you travel in Europe it is better to learn a language widely understood in all of Europe rather that just slavic states.
The only silly argument I hear is when people think any discussion of censorship must involve the first amendment, or that complaining about censorship implies being forced to use a product.

If I go to a restaurant and eat some food and complain that food tasted awful, I am not saying that the restaurant should be forced by the government to make good food nor am I saying that everyone is forced to eat at that restaurant. I'm simply saying that the product served to me was not good.

Similarly when someone complains about Youtube engaging in censorship, you should not interpret that to mean that Youtube is infringing on first amendment rights, or that everyone is forced to use Youtube... rather it's an argument that the product Youtube provides is not as good as it could otherwise be. People are welcome to have an opinion and discuss whether Youtube's policies improve its service or are detrimental to its service without it devolving into a discussion about legal rights and government enforcement.

You can disagree with a position about censorship and make good arguments that Youtube censoring certain content or being the arbiter of truth makes for a better product, just as you can disagree with someone about whether a restaurant serves good food... but don't change someone's argument about the quality of a product into an argument about someone being forced into something or having their rights violated since no one ever made any such claim.

This was discussed shortly in: A Study of History by Arnold Toynbee

Another anecdote that speaks to the sentiment of the beginning of the war is Britain’s initial deployment of troops. The troops were literally marching towards Germany with music and percussionists that was supposed to motivate the troops and strike fear into the enemy. I imagine an army like you would see in Game of thrones (walking from point A to point B and making camp in between). Germany used their planes and promptly dispatched the British troops which suffered devastating losses. After this event Britain changed their tactics and took the war seriously.

(This event may have been WW2 which would make the story even more ridiculous).
They can have whatever policy they want. The problem though is that what they are doing is unethical and antithesis to their own stated beliefs. Less than 6 months ago their CEO said free speech was a "core value." The thing is it shouldn't ever even need to be said that something on the internet could be a lie but apparently that is not taught in schools and YouTube feels everyone is too stupid to decide for themselves. Frankly it should be included in their terms of service or on every single video on their platform that what is said might not be true, manipulated, or omitting facts. Maybe we need nutrition labels of the internet so that before you visit YouTube it states clearly how much banning of information they are doing. We don't need a platform to be the judge, jury, and executioner for misinformation but if they want to be I want to see big bold text at the top of their website saying "We ban channels and information we deem to be false. Videos with a checkmark are deemed to contain 100% true facts and if a video is found to reference untrue facts, it will be banned upon review." Everyone needs to know this before people are tricked into thinking it is a neutral platform where judgement of information and misinformation is the responsibility of the individual.

The point is Ukraine isn't totally outside of NATO unless you're being absurdly legalistic, and it's quite possible it would have come to a NATO country's defense.
