There is a creepy amount of skepticism on his comments.

FB and Twitter have no obligation to public health. Their entire profit motive is to burn the fucking country to the ground if their Q3 earnings look good. Put neighbor against neighbor? Why not? Destroy the foundations of democracy to maximize engagement? Sure!

So a politician (flawed as he is and with some withering disappointments as a leader) says "Hey, this shit is unhealthy for democracy!"

It seems so obvious that he is correct, but it seems more important to people here to disagree with the messenger than to consider the message.
"misinformation" is this eras terrorism scare.

You're starting to see lots of people on Twitter who claim to specialzie in disinformation and monitoring hate speech, it like how all of the Mckinsey types who turned into counter-terrorism consultants around 2004.

Trends in gov contractors, think tanks, and the ex-UN volunteering well connected rich kids are always a good signal of where the slush fund $$$ is going to start flowing. They have a big pull on policy since they have the most to gain.

You should be able to change your password, so there are not good. They are also public information.

...by turning sensitivity up?

I don't understand how this is even a question. It's such an obvious answer.

My sensitivity is configured so that it takes about an inch and a half of mouse movement to move across one monitor.
Because we’re about a step away from such 1984-isms as “Free speech advocates hate our values and way of life.”
That's a reasonable concern. All I can say is that I left that field for a reason (well reasons) and have some serious concern about some ethical issues and attempts at gaming the system.

However by and large my concerns aren't around science (though there are exceptions, cough alzheimers), they are mostly around the marketing, pricing manipulation with regards to medicare (ever wonder why drug companies give everyone coupons?) etc. The FDA has very little to do with some of these issues and none with others (e.g. scamming the taxpayer)

In general I don't think pharma execs are necessarily nice people (though some are!) but most are not evil like the Sacklers.

Windmills? They don’t work. They’re too expensive. They kill all the birds. They ruin your landscapes. Yet, the environmentalists love the windmills. I’ve been preaching this for years. The windmills. I had them way down. The windmills are the most expensive energy you can have, and they don’t work. They last a period of 10 years and by the time they start rusting and rotting all over the place nobody ever takes them down. They just go onto the next piece of prairie or land and destroy that. It’s incredible.

Is there a reason for using non-standard language features for module imports?

> const m3o = require("m3o")(process.env.M3O_API_TOKEN);

Should be using ES modules, and then allowing the creation of the m3o object with the supplied API token. This future proofs the code, because ES modules are part of the language spec. CommonJS/RequireJS was only ever a hack.

> import { m3o } from 'm3o';

> I'm not a supreme court justice.

Okay, so you have even less authority to dictate what Section 230 actually means.

Are you arguing about what Section 230 actually does, or are you arguing about what you personally would like it to do, because those are two very different conversations to have.

> So why does section 230 exist?

For a lot of reasons, one giant one being that Congress wanted to make it easier for companies to censor in certain situations.

Section 230 was born out of two lawsuits about illegal content against two early Internet companies, one completely unmoderated and one where the company in question had been trying to do some moderation, but some illegal content still slipped past.

The one who was doing no moderation at all successfully got off with the defense that it was not a publisher, the company that had been doing some moderation didn't. From Wikipedia:

> Service providers made their Congresspersons aware of these cases, believing that if followed by other courts across the nation, the cases would stifle the growth of the Internet. United States Representative Christopher Cox (R-CA) had read an article about the two cases and felt the decisions were backwards. "It struck me that if that rule was going to take hold then the internet would become the Wild West and nobody would have any incentive to keep the internet civil," Cox stated.

Section 230 has a number of benefits, including benefits that reduce censorship online by making it safer to operate smaller forums (including HN). But it also allows communities to more easily moderate without that moderation being treated as itself a liability risk.

But don't take my word for it, go read up on the actual people who wrote the bill that are still alive today and who have on multiple occasions commented on their intentions. The bill was never intended to restrict what content platforms could moderate.

> You aren't liable anymore right? You can say whatever you want right?

Section 230 is a protection against speech that your users say. CNN is still liable for its own speech (and so is Twitter for that matter), but it is not liable for the speech that happens in its comments section.
I am just following its development, here is an article about it,

Yes Section 230 is mentioned in the article.
> I would like to see a framework for creating rich REPLs that would be language agnostic, so that I could get a state of the art auto-completion dialog no matter which language I decided to make into a shell.

It's doable with existing tools. You have LSP to provide the syntactical framework and there's no shortage of alternatives to readline (I'd written my own[1] to use in murex[2], and open sourced that).

[1] https://github.com/lmorg/readline

[2] https://murex.rocks

The problem you still face is that a good shell will offer autocompletion suggestions for strings that aren't language keywords or function names. eg

- file names; and there's a lot of hidden logic in how to do this. Do you build in fzf-like support, just include fzf wholesale but increase your dependency tree, or go for basic path completion. Do you check metadata (eg hidden files and system files on Windows), include dot-prefixed files on Linux / UNIX, etc. How do you know when to return paths, or paths and files, or even know not to return disk items at all? (see next point)

- flags for existing CLI tools (assuming you want compatibility with existing tools). Fish and murex will parse man pages to populate suggestions, others rely entirely on the community to write autocompletion scripts.

- Are you including variables in your completion of strings. And if so are you reading the variables to spot if it's a path and then following that path. eg `cd $HOME/[tab]` should then return items inside a your home directory even though you've not actually specified your home directory as a string. That means the shell needs to expand the variables to see if it's a valid path. But that's a shell decision rather than a language feature.

Some of these lists might take a while to populate so you then have another problem. Do you delay the autocompletion list (bad UX because it slows the user down) or provide the autocompletion sooner. And if the latter, how do you do that without:

1. changing the items under what you're about to select causing you to accidentally select the wrong option

2. communicate that there are update clearly

3. ensure the UI is consistent when slower loading entries might not fit the same dimensions as the space allocated for the list (if you dynamically size your completions to fit the screen real estate)

4. ensure that there's still something present while you're lazy loading the rest of the suggestions; and that those early entries on the completion list are worthwhile and accurate

5. what about sorting the list? Alphabetical? By feature? etc

The REPL in murex was inspired by IDEs so I've spent a lot of time trying to consider how to provide the best UX around autocompletion. One thing I've learnt is that it's a lot harder to get right than it seems on the surface.

The author gives quite a few examples what science supposedly is not, however doesn't really say what science is. From the declaration of totalizing aspiration, "I would argue that there is only one kind of knowledge, at least about the real world, and that is empirical knowledge," it seems that he would get into trouble trying to differentiate an account of Maori crafts and effective field theories. Thing is, Maoris were perfectly capable of building functional boats, and if that is science, then it is not clear why it shouldn't be taught in a science class. On the other hand, if science is the way to some upper case Truth, then effective field theory, which is probably the most mainstream understanding of the standard model, does quite explicitly not make such claims. It just claims to be a low energy approximation. So, in that case the question is what should be taught in a science class.

Thanks for this - I've had a fuzzy assumption this was occurring over the last decade. I've noticed variations of this strategy to swarm certain trending posts on various platforms (particularly reddit) with an assortment of low-effort, vaguely positive and pro-CCP comments. Lately I've seen this frequently on Shanghai posts about the extreme situation unfolding there.

Funny, I've also noticed this strategy is very common in the cryptocurrency space, especially in Telegram groups. Signal-to-noise is abysmal.
Probably not - but there are "Sample sales" that pop up in abandoned store fronts that are certainly 100% cash, and I'm sure shady shit goes down in those. I'm too fat for any of those clothes, so I just judge from outside.

Yeah, but then it turned out "being a free speech platform" meant the thing was flooded with nothing but spam. Getting rid of the spammers took a massive hit in the public market because their numbers plunged dramatically, but it saved Twitter from becoming completely irrelevant. People have a right to speak, but they don't have a right to be published.

Once that was done, they noticed that people aren't free to speak & won't use a platform where they are constantly under attack from racists, sexists & harassers. As a private entity, Twitter cared more about people feeling comfortable participating than it did about other people's "right" to bully, harass or send dick pics.

They also realized that if they kept letting their platform be used to radicalize terrorists, the government was going to shut them down because they were harmful to the community. It's also possible that they didn't feel great about helping people murder people they hated. Repeatedly.

By that point Jack had realized that "Free Speech" is a lot more nuanced than he imagined as a 29 year old with no background in sociology, philosophy, law or political science. Jack still believes in freedom: he just knows now, experimentally, that you can't achieve that by letting might make right.

Only in theory. In practice even when IPv6 is in use, people have stateful firewalls that will drop unsolicited connection attempts.

Compared to ipv4 where there is UPnP and NAT-PMP with widespread support in routers, there are protocols to allow clients to reconfigure the router with ephemeral firewall rules, but they are not wide-spread and support is very spotty.

So in practice, users with just IPv6 would have the exact same problems and would be even more likely to depend on STUN and ICE because their firewalls likely won’t support client-side hole-punching correctly
The second page starts the "FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION"; the body weight quote above comes from section 12.3 of it and there is no mention of a weight exclusion in the discussion of the clinical studies in section 14. AFAIK, "label" typically refers to this sort of ~20 page prescribing information, but is there a different label you have in mind? I believe the one-page package insert is the last page, page 17.

News is the traditional messenger they have control over. News is dying and social media is taking over. They're trying to gain control over social media so they can control the message again. Who is they? The two political parties who are just private organizations by the way.

When you can't control the message, people start asking uncomfortable questions like, "Why are you allowing companies to outsource jobs and factories to escape labor and environmental regulations while saving a ton of money?" "Why is healthcare so expensive?" "Why haven't you put any type of caps on pharmaceuticals?" "Why are we spending billions on homelessness and homelessness keeps increasing?" "Why did we spend $300 million a day in Afghanistan for 20 years?"

> Unfortunately, Lineage has abandoned a large number of previously-supported devices, so this latest version will be met with some dismay.

> The primary reason is the loss of iptables, and the older kernels that do not support eBPF.

It's worth noting that the pmOS folks are working on mainline kernel support for older devices. This is not always easy, since e.g. some devices are only supported via non-free kernel or userspace blobs. But good quality hardware might regain support at some point. If you have devices that are going unsupported because of this issue, you might want to experiment with porting them to a mainline kernel by following the instructions on the pmOS wiki.
Yup, that’s my point. This is why dang doesn’t scale.

Twitter clearly has utility. But it will never be a nice place to hang out except in some very localized parts of it.
>He tried to use the same legal procedures to challenge the result that were used in 2001

He didn't merely challenge a few items, he loudly proclaimed as fact before the fact that the election was intentionally rigged by a large combination of Democrats and RINO Secretaries of State, and was shot down at every challenge due to a complete lack of evidence. He and his liar sycophants continue to spread these lies not just as supposition, but as fact. It is disingenuous to compare Trump's challenges-cum-lies to any run-of-the-mill challenge of years past.

Back to the main point: He could stand up a blog very quickly and have the ears of all willing listeners on the planet.
> To do (2) it really helps to have a good, easy to use deployment technology.

That's why I suggested "Canvas and WASM." It's very trivial to get a "Canvas and WASM" program running in the browser. All you need to do is plan the API inside of WASM very carefully, because...

> That means to make a competitor to HTML5 you need to go outside the browser and build new kinds of browser and document/app technology.

... the next step is to remove the HTML & Javascript adaptors, and "build new kinds of browser"s that are compatible with the WASM API in the "Canvas and WASM" hack!

In this case, the newer browser would probably perform much better than the "Canvas and WASM" hack. :)
