This seems like it would apply to calls to violence against civillians as well if I'm understanding correctly, "violence against Russians and Russian soldiers". Under that definition "Someone should go start stabbing Russian shoppers in Evropeysky" for example would seem to be ok.
edit: it looks like the article has been updated to specify civilians are not included.

He is that stupid....and evil.
Choosing who sociopath to believe is way down the road (and in my opinion not necessary in the end to "believe" anyone, you ideally have your judgement to filter out the noise and get the however little information). The step we still have not gotten past is to be able to listen to all the psychopaths in the first place. At this moment, the psychopath with the most strength near you prohibits other psychopaths from being heard at all.
That's appalling and will be one of the last coffins on foreign run communication systems everywhere.

Can you imagine that some techies in California start deciding which people are to be attacked in your country or by your country? It's also probably not techies that are deciding that but that's not the point.

That's such a nation security threat that no country with sane government can afford to allow. Wars, genocides can not only be facilitated but also initiated and commanded by these social media.

And considering all the Machiavellian thinking going on, you can actually expect things to be done. French wine is inconvenience for the Californian farmers maybe? The French lately aren't really that active with ad buys anyway, why not design timelines to induce social unrest in France giving a kick to the American winemakers?

It is known that Facebook studied manipulation of emotions through curation of the user timelines[0].

Also, isn't that against Apple's AppStore guidelines? Apple should remove Instagram and Facebook from the AppStore immediately.

Yeah, about violence against the ethnic Russian populations in eastern Ukraine - doesn't seem that Russia needs any help there. Russians are bombing and killing civilians in those Russian speaking cities even without permission from facebook.

Not big tech, but an internet version of a post office. That is, a government-provided at-cost presence on the web linked to your real identity that can't be taken away from you without a court order and whose only rules are the laws of the United States. I don't think we have it in us, though.

Maybe harkening back to the old-school days of HN, but I'd be keen to hear about the tech stack you decided to use in building the app, what your considerations are for multi-platform, and advice for start-ups getting ready to launch their own apps.
One thing that really interests me about cultivated meat is the potential for designer cuts that would be otherwise impossible (e.g. wagyu level marbled chicken, a beef ribeye with swirls of pork intermixed, etc). Specifically, I'm thinking of fine dining applications. Do you forsee these kinds of applications coming to life eventually, or am I misunderstanding the capability of the technology?

An hour exercising is an hour you can't eat in addition to likely sleeping better and longer. You can see this people who hike the Appalachian Trail as well as athletes who train at least 4 hours a day.

There's roughly USD $26 billion equivalent staked on Beacon, which puts it squarely in top-10 territory of crypto market caps, so I'm not sure why you consider it "very small", even compared to the ETH1 mainnet, but I guess "very/small" might be subjective.

While NFTs are a non-negligible component of trade volume on the Ethereum blockchain, numbers I've seen recently put monthly volumes of e.g. OpenSea in the single-digit USD billions equivalent. The daily volume of ETH is currently about USD $14 billion equivalent. I don't think the NFT marketplace is what's greasing the wheels.
> Market capitalization is fairly meaningless

I agree with that. Marketcap + Volume can still be compared to other assets. Determining how much is wash trading versus something else is unfalsifiable in crypto, the nature of transactions cannot be determined with only a limited analysis available on centralized and decentralized exchanges. But not the unlit markets, or the nature of transactional demand.

Compared to currencies, crypto assets function similarly with M0 and M1 being the tiny liquid cash thats actually moving and M2 and M3 being the illiquid much larger aspect of the currency. It requires a completely new standard to criticize crypto assets based on the exact same observation.

Compared to securities and commodities, crypto's much lower marketcap and high volume (see my first paragraph for why I don't mind the volume) is a great proportion. So, in your two-fold point, there still must be some standard for relative comparison, what would your alternative be? I choose market capitalization, understanding that a significant portion of it is relevant to value transferred from other financial ecosystems directly for exchange of the crypto asset, supporting its valuation much better than a low float asset we make in a spreadsheet.

> Liquidity is very much lacking in the crypto world

Its pretty decent. The unlit markets are bigger than the lit ones. Any OTC desk can corroborate that. Someone trying to swap in and out can use both the lit markets and the darkpools. For the size of the market, crypto's liquidity again relatively great. Of course, I see how paradoxical it is to mention "size" of the market, again, but you're not leaving me with much in the English language to work with for relative comparison. Although its totally fine for me. The market works for me.

> Stable coins were developed not in a vacuum, but precisely because liquidity was so lacking.

Although I disagree with the liquidity issue, I don't ... care about this distinction? I consider stablecoins to fulfill a market need and are crypto assets, the market noticed and used them, some of the biggest ones are currently surrogates of fiat assets. Liquidity begets liquidity, so anything that attracts liquidity is a net good to me. I don't consider the crypto space to "need" them, I consider the market to have chosen the thing that fulfilled a need, and that grows/grew the market.

FB / Twitter was kicked out of PRC for not banning calls for violence against Uyghurs in response to ethnic riots. Granted it was lack of capability to censor on PRC scale at the time, and they're essentially now banned in RU. Still one of the more blatant bullet point affirming western social media platforms are ultimately western foreign policy instruments - no different from PRC - while only matter of time before blowback affects RU diaspora living in west. But still not as low as cold shouldering paralympic athletes.
If I'm reading it correctly "violence against Russians and Russian soldiers" seems like it would apply to both civilians and soldiers.
Well, in this case the existence of a whole industry built around this is a reflection of the fact that it's impossible to implement a single static solution to the problem. It will forever be a cat and mouse game.

I think due to the increase of VC and incubators, startups are able to raise a hug e amount of money in a short period of time where engineers #5-10 can earn a decent salary + equity (100K USD base salary). In my own case, I earned $140K net + 0.1% equity as dev#15
> You cannot entirely ignore diet and still lose weight, even with hours of exercise. Two American donuts are 700kCal.

100% correct, the only time I've out exercised a bad diet was when I was I was bicycle touring and doing 6+ hour rides each day.
> Hating someone because of their race is not acceptable. Hating someone because they invaded your country and bombed your fleeing women and children is acceptable.

But the regulations apply to "Russians and Russian soldiers", not just the invaders. Would you be okay with calls of violence against saudi civilians because of their government's involvement in the 9/11 attacks?

In light of the ongoing horrific attacks by the Russian government in Ukraine, we are pausing all KitCart’s operations in Russia, and halting the services of our payment gateway, kitPay in Russia.

To our colleagues, family, and friends in Ukraine, please know that we stand with you, completely and wholeheartedly. To all of Ukraine, we stand with you and are sending aid. To everyone else, we implore you to express your solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who are still resisting Russia’s unwarranted invasion.

This moment calls for unity, courage, and a reminder that we must never lose sight of the humanity we all share. In these trying times, we find solace in knowing that we are all committed to each other, to our users, and to bringing freedom to entrepreneurs around the world.

I've been pondering carpool lanes and wonder why we have them at all.

- they are very unsafe. pretty much danger is proportional to the speed difference between stopped traffic and the carpool lane.

- people pay extremely high taxes to use the roads in the first place, why monetize further?

- just opening the lane would decrease congestion for everyone

- all that new infrastructure to track and charge people costs money, how much overhead is there?

‘People are going to get real nervous’: Oil shock upends Fed strategy

More broadly, I think what's happening vindicates China's strategy and will be a watershed moment.

We're seeing that most key global infrastructures for telecoms, internet, finance, etc. and pretty much all global tech companies are controlled by the USA and that they will weaponise everything against you as they see fit.

The logical conclusion is that, if you can, you should build your own alternatives, which is what China has been doing. Things are going to become more fragmented from now on.
You claim to be spending >$5.5k/mo on self-investments. What are you hoping to improve from these investments? Do you think your skills need improvement? I am highly highly skilled, but I've found the world is far more concerned about perception & position & being in the right spot at the right time. Good work, smarts, competence is not rewarded. Work attached to high profile efforts are rewarded. What kind of coaching/mentorship are you getting out of your $2k/mo? Technical or tactical/political? Have you found it helpful?

Our ambition is to make the Substack app a great place to read, and as a writer a great way to have a direct connection with your audience. We have a lot of respect for apps like Matter (and Google Reader back in the day).

For now it's probably most compelling for folks who already do a lot of reading powered by Substack, but we're interested in adding more support for reading non-Substack things (and we already have some basic support for reading Substack stuff in other RSS readers.)

I used to have a Saturday job repairing and restoring classic Saabs, mostly 93s, 95s and 96s. (Which are different from the 9-3s and 9-5s, which were almost 40 years later). They were handsome cars in a lumpy kind of way, and there were plenty of people willing to stump up the cash to have them carefully restored. (For all that the article talks about lack of aerodynamics in the 900, the 96 was a pretty aerodynamic car, perhaps rooted in Saab's genesis as an aerospace company, although I'm glad things have moved on - I hate to think how much lead and carbon monoxide I inhaled). The first turbocharged car I was driven in was a 900, and boy was that exciting - I can still remember the whine of the turbo. Have to say though, much as I love the Saabs (particularly the 96) if I had the money to get into classic cars, I'd be eyeing up a Citroen SM, rust issues notwithstanding.
Sarcasm is unbecoming, but only because it's a thinly disguised insult. Read that comment as "What you just said was so egregiously stupid that I'm going to show that by pretending that you meant something different". Put that way, it would be clearly inappropriate for HN, so they use sarcasm as a fig leaf.

It might be more becoming to say "Many people are dying and I think it's inappropriate to use a generic, vague expression pertaining to this other, much less directly violent thing." Or words to that effect. But I'm not surprised that the GP post was so shocked by the phrasing that they resorted to sarcasm instead.
Chiming in here from Finland as another 9-5 owner, 2001 model. Also a station wagon (or "farmari" as the Finns like to call it).

Definitely a much-loved model, I get appreciative comments regularly from middle-aged men whose formative years were clearly spent in Saabs. When I went to the Mercedes car dealership last weekend (thinking about upgrading to an electric vehicle), the salesman was in such raptures over my Saab he nearly forgot to try and sell me a new car.
Some GraphQL APIs do this on purpose if the API is meant to be completely public and if they want to allow self discovery and documentation of things through introspection. Allows anyone to point their own instance of GraphiQL or GraphQL playground and the endpoint and find things out. We even include comments in the schema to help with this as another form of documentation.
You have held firm so far on not acquiescing to cancel culture. But I imagine Apple will start demanding you censor content available through the Substack app, like they have with Parler and others. What will you do in response?
That doesn't really follow. Private toll road operators aren't liable for accidents that happen on them due to driver negligence, for example - but they're still private.

And you can still sue people for hate speech and libel if they post such on Facebook. You just can't sue Facebook itself.
Jake thought about how he would conduct his morning routine that day. He brought the razor closer to his face as he stared at another face in the mirror. He looked at the template as a way to guide his desired look.

Of course, the face was not his, but he'd become accustomed to the responsive animations throughout a lifetime of shaving.

"You should probably nix some of those stray hairs and sharpen the beard shape", said the mirror.

Jake thought he was going to go for something a little different this time, but if that's what the mirror recommended, that's the result it was going to get.

"Make sure you turn on your minute-by-minute version updates in your BrainLink for The New York Times to get the best and unbiased news on Russian Aggression."

This slightly perplexed Jake. Last night he was thinking about increasing the feed parameter in his BrainLink for The Washington Post instead of The New York Times, but maybe BrainLink had a new deal with the latter.

Jake was almost done with his face when the mirror issued another transient directive.

"You want to kill some Russians today. Meet at these coordinates to sync with the rest of your Circle."

Jake took some surprise to this. He had met with his Circle frequently to do Collaborations before, but usually it only involved suppressing the underclasses. It was probably just a bug. Probably.

Still, it couldn't hurt to check it out. Jake followed the voice in his head and met with his Circle that day.

> So yeah, it’s not like offering an affordable bare-bone car isn’t possible in mature markets, it’s more likely that Americans just don’t have an appetite for them.

I do not think it is that simple. I think regulations also restrict how simple a car can be. Top of my head, breaks, lights, light colors, emissions, transmission (go figure), fuel storage, fueling features, and so on. All these add to the cost.

No one wants to drive a car that has no or minimal creature comforts.

Throwback Thursday: MIT Computer Virus on the News
What part of Europe? When I got my license 15 years ago they were a minority, but already not that uncommon in Germany. E.g. a friend from school drove an old Merc with the 4(?) gear automatic. On the other end of the scale [at least to a pupil] the new BMW 645ci owned by another friend's parents also had an automatic (Google says it was a 6 gear automatic, nothing special; I only know it had paddles for manual shifting, but the details are lost on me because for some reason his parents never let us drive the V8). They only became more common since then. These days I mostly associate them with cheaper cars (which isn't a bad thing, just economics) and expect them to vanish into obscurity within the next decade.

I wouldn't say so, it's a discussion of military strategy in a war zone. I'm far more concerned about 'You should punch your Russian expat neighbor in the face.'
They said the calls for violence against Russian soldiers were allowed because this was being used as a proxy for the Russian military, and said it would not apply to prisoners of war.

Again, this is deliberate obtuseness. If a pack of grizzly bears break into my house and I scream "Kill the bears!" I'm obviously not calling for genocide against ursus arctos horribilis.
I think you're framing the discussion in the wrong way.

Yes, if you're looking for "Russian Disinformation", you should be able to find it.

But if I'm looking for "U.S. midterm elections", I shouldn't get Russian disinformation.

What is the problem with modifying the algorithm to favor actual information over disinformation? Or sites that are known to propagate disinformation?

The only thing I could say is that it's weirdly specific to Russian disinformation. Disinformation should be disfavored no matter the country of origin.
