No. You're absolutely wrong here. The issue isn't that "it's hard to look at the fact a few corporations can remove a website from the internet" - that's a dog whistle to try to say Cloudflare is a victim.

Let's be clear about a few things:

Either Cloudflare is a utility, and therefore it acts as one and is regulated as one - or they're not.

Whether or not they are a utility, they want everyone to believe they were coerced in to doing something that's horrible - CENSORSHIP.

Non-rhetorically, is termination because of violation of a company's or utility's terms of service censorship? If you use your phone to call people and harass people non-stop, and dozens of people complain to your phone company, and they terminate you, are they censoring you? Or have you violated their TOS?

The problem here is that Cloudflare wants their cake and wants to eat it, too - they want to say their terms of service can be wildly lax when they're acting as a "utility" and they'll DTRT when legally compelled, but there are plenty of examples where they terminate for significantly less than a violation of their TOS, plus plenty of examples of where they don't terminate even when legally compelled.

They claim they don't host by trying to redefine the definition of hosting. They want us to believe they don't host, and that providing material services which facilitate presence on the Internet is neither hosting nor should in any way be their responsibility.

Their TOS for proxy services is bullshit, because they're basically saying that someone REALLY has to do some criminal shit before Cloudflare will take action. They want a district attorney to convene a jury to indict a John / Jane Doe before they'll do anything. In other words, they want to be a safe haven for any illegal activity that isn't serious enough to warrant that a district attorney to take direct action.

What happens if they become the monopoly they want to become and they're a safe haven for 90% of the illegal activity out there? They make tons of $. You can't block bad sites by IP because they serve all the legitimate sites from the same IPs as the illegal sites. You can't block bad sites by DNS, if they have their way, because DNS-over-https has taken control of that out of our hands.

So any claim of "censorship" is bullshit. Cloudflare wants to be the victim here, when it's their own attempts at manipulating the market that have brought us to where we are.
My city instituted a ban on plastic bags and a 10-cent charge for paper ones. It was pretty painful at first, but now I overwhelmingly prefer using my giant reusable Costco bags.

I can carry more groceries in fewer trips. They fold up to be very small and I keep them in my truck. I probably use them three times a week for the last 2 years.

also, it's largely ended my perpetual struggle with getting rid of the cardboard boxes Costco used to give me my groceries in.

I live in an insulated house and am getting a heat pump, but of course, I can already afford my bills. My saving on my energy bill doesn't redistribute the energy to someone else.

Your post, even with its edits, is gross. However, I must thank you for providing your words so that I may show my own two children about the dangers of belief systems such as yours.
Also said many times in all these threads: Getting law enforcement to act on these sorts of things is a difficult game, and a lengthy one even if you get very lucky.

Meanwhile, victims can face years of harassment while they wait for a bored cop to get a "yep, they used Tor" conclusion to the case.

I don’t understand the facination with the bell. In what way would it help with the situation as described? Do you think it would startle the pedestrians less than the human voice?
For some trans people, the alternative is no gender-affirming care at all, which tends to lead to bad health outcomes (e.g., suicide).

To be trans is to live on the edge of the law and on the very cutting edge of biopunk medical science. A lot of shit is off-off-off-label, where there are no guarantees of quality, but something is better than nothing which is what you'd get if it were up to your parents and doctors.
That's what I do. All bills, statements, etc. go into a cardboard document box. I start a new box every calendar year. If I ever need to find anything, it's a bit of a search but not too bad as the papers will be in roughly chronological order.

I almost never need to find anything.

It's a decent compromise between separate files for everything (which would take too much effort) and not saving stuff at all. Even scanning stuff to save digitally is more work than this system.

After 3 years the box gets burned.

The exception is tax returns, they get saved separately.
> Didn't he previously say he took down the nazi site because they were saying that the reason they weren't taken down was that he agreed with them?

And about that decision, he said this:

> Let me be clear: this was an arbitrary decision. It was different than what I’d talked talked with our senior team about yesterday. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet. I called our legal team and told them what we were going to do. I called our Trust & Safety team and had them stop the service. It was a decision I could make because I’m the CEO of a major Internet infrastructure company.

> Having made that decision we now need to talk about why it is so dangerous. I’ll be posting something on our blog later today. Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power.

Drinking is the kind of thing where non-obvious long-term effects can only really be determined if any other cause of issues is ruled out. It doesn't seem to have a measurable effect on maximum lifespan (assuming it's not alcoholism), so I'd rate it rather low in the list of priorities.
Find friends who don't drink and only go out with those.

You gotta have a better example than lightbulbs. Maybe rail lines buckling?
My comment wasn't long. I explain the "red" meat point just below that line which you have highlighted.

Indeed humans have probably always consumed some form of animal protein. But there's a lot more going on than just buying cheap ground beef from the supermarket as we can do now for very little cost.
What’s your opinion on sites not targeting specific individuals? Like, “people with Property X have no place in civilized society” where readers of this site occasionally went on killing sprees of people in the category?
I wonder how many people remember when the censorship online was wielded against queer people?

Lots of writing sites in the 90s wouldn't host any queer lit, for example, and being gay on main (in non-queer spaces) was...not advised.

I also wonder how the percentages of queer people for and against platforming KF would shake out depending on how old they are and how long they've been online?

I don't understand how anyone reading someone saying something like this doesn't immediately picture some government organization with an authoritarian leader holding the exact same value while considering dissenters a harm to their society.

Some form of government exists in any place on Earth - lest that territory is claimed by some other government. Yet, a large number of such entities are unable to guarantee those rights.

The gap between the minimum common denominator of a state - ability to claim and hold a territory - and the stable an advanced state is made up by inclusive political institutions.

> I use Common Lisp and I develop relatively large DSLs in the language, and even if I want to, it's hard—if not impossible—to write large DSLs that have nice error messages, source locations, etc. without writing an entirely new "reader" (lisp's term for a code parser) myself every time.

We have to go deeper! Could you write a DSL in CL to help you write new DSLs as easily as in Racket?
I like it. What's the overhead on the strings? Is there any compile-time code generation on the queries?
Most people would be okay with a 5W cable to power a huge battery on the large iPhones? Try this, plug in a large phone with a cable that only supports 5W and has 20% battery life. Now start a video call using Zoom. Guess how long the your phone will last.

The EU didn’t enforce a law to have an industry standard for cell phones, a private consortium of company’s did.

I’m not “moving text goalposts”. The explicit aim of the EU wanting to enforce a standard was to reduce eWaste. If you have a chord that doesn’t support data, power delivery at an appropriate wattage and video - something that the iPads that have USB C already do and the hypothetical iPhone will, you will still be throwing away cables just like I threw away all of my “standard” USB C cables that came with various devices and got some that supported 100W PD, 10 GBps data and video over USB C.

The 100 section 11 chapter GDPR that did nothing but give the world cookie pop up’s shows the incompetence of EU law makers better than anything.
Hmm yes. I think this is also evidence that the company values the person being in that location more than the other one, which might translate to higher (3).
I moved from a metric country to Canada 25 years ago. Although Canada is technically metric, pounds, and feet still abound. It sometimes feels like litres and km are the only metric units actually used here.

Of all the European measurements, the one I miss most here is the paper size. I still struggle with the scaling mess that is US paper sizes, and long for the elegance of the A, B and C series.
People who have threads on KiwiFarms have (allegedly) committed suicide. That's about all that's required to attribute each death causally to KiwiFarms. It's an incredibly weak standard.

We may disagree on where that line should be, but most people absolutely have this line.
So you want to enforce restrictions on hate speech, but you have no clear boundary as to what "hate speech" really is?
It's because Cloudflare actively protects these bad actors. They host DNS, they host proxy services, and they hide identifying information from WHOIS. They say they won't listen to anything short of a court order, so now we have to convene juries and get indictments to get Cloudflare to do anything at all.

Cloudflare is playing a big game.

Comparing Cloudflare protecting bad actors to the water company providing water to KKK members is completely disingenuous, but you know that, obviously. You should pick better examples.
Something's still organised enough to be a threat if it works.

The Chiraqology stuff is wild. People threaten each other on YouTube and then follow through with murder! The only reason it’s not banned is because nobody with power cares what happens to impoverished black kids in Chicago unless they can make money from it.
A better alternative would be to have localised production and localised consumption of food and most basic goods. Stuff like not having foreign-cuisine restaurants and not buying salmon from thousands of kilometers away. Cloth production should follow the same idea. People should feel more attached to their birthplace and the goal should be to develop their skills locally with one company preferably. Strong bonds with the local extended family which provides an additional safety net. If your region produces cars, you should be more likely (through education and culture) to become an automotive engineer and live there for your life. Trade for more advanced goods should still be there, but it would be more inter-region and less inter-global.
It makes sense to me to first collect small amounts of data, only then formulate theories and only then verify those with larger experiments. Especially when experiments are expensive.

It does not make sense to act like small studies are proof of anything the way people like to use those studies on the internet. It is wrong that researchers are effectively punished for reproduction, verification etc. But the existence of small data collection studies on itself is not wrong.
Well, you're just wrong then, and the behavior you are encouraging is literally illegal in most of the world.

And beyond legality, kids self-administering HRT with neither parental nor medical supervision is a truly scary thought. It is certain to leave most with significant health issues, that no amount of good will will help them solve.

I wonder if he's actually so delusional to think that he's got the power to decide what goes on the internet, or if this is just something Cloudflare marketing is trying to push to make them seem like the only option anyone could possibly work with.

Kanban is an alternative to sprints, for contexts in which the team is persistent across projects and it makes sense to let them manage their work apart from the projects that they contribute to---e.g., an ops team that supports the organization via a help desk and ticketing system.

You could certainly think of the sprint board as a kanban board with a finite lifespan, but I don't think there's any benefit to doing so.
Google Analytics, by default, is not CCPA compliant.

You can take steps for stricter compliance with CCPA, such as: implementing IP anonymization, disabling data sharing, displaying a cookie consent banner on your site, reviewing PII collected and honoring user data access/deletion requests..etc.

It's about not shutting down speech via a pretextual appeal to its causal nexus to violence. Censorship based on "stochastic terrorism" claims are almost always demanded in an extremely ideological fashion.
> $10k in premiums going away with taxes going up $5k is heavily portrayed as a "tax hike" when universal healthcare is discussed.

^^^

This. This is somehow one of the most disingenuous things brought up during every discussion.

I think some people do it deliberately, and others are just not thinking very clearly when considering it at all.

"Death panels" was another one. We wouldn't want govt officials being able to say 'no' to some particular treatment, dooming someone to death. We're totally fine with unelected corp overlords with shareholder value as a primary concern making those sorts of treatment decisions. Of course. What could be simpler?

I'm convinced probably 2/3rds of the people against 'single payer' health insurance (or some variation of universal health insurance) are simply scared in to submission by misrepresentations. What also gets overlooked is having one system could mean you get health insurance whether you are employed or not. Everyone goes through spells of unemployment. Trying to tie health care decisions to coincide with periods where you can get "good" insurance through a "good" employer is unbelievably insane, but we've had generations of people brought up like this, and many believe it's truly the 'best' way.
It is ugly.
Hey, Lee from the Next.js team at Vercel. Thank you for the kind words! Let me know if there's anything else we can do to improve the experience.
Two-sided markets have virtuous-cycle network effects, yes.

DARPA made Silicon Valley, but Stanford and UC Berkeley — and nearby communities that evolved to become basically playgrounds for the students of them — kept it going. Entrepreneurs came (or stayed) to capture the supply of smart and bored college-aged intellectual labor; and VCs came (or stayed) because of all the entrepreneurs.

But that doesn't mean that seed-stage companies don't move to (or stay in) the Bay Area these days primarily because of the VCs, rather than because of the talent. Talent is free to move anywhere it likes — especially these days. An entrepreneur will find just as many potential employees for their startup in literally any college city.

But tech VCs (and especially ex-tech-entrepreneur angel investors) will, despite having a presence in many places, mostly still live and spend their free time in the Bay Area. And so you'll be much more likely to have your name on their lips if you're showing up at local events they attend, bumping into them at restaurants, meeting them on the golf course, etc.

Let me put it this way: every Canadian seed-stage startup I know of, has their CEO regularly fly to the Bay — even if they're located on the east coast of Canada! — to rub shoulders with the Sand Hill VCs, in hopes that they'll get more attention there.
Who cares if someone is funding their own agenda if it provides real results? The problem isn't the funding, it's the results.
> What if the freedom of speech you are defending is impeding on the right of others to speak freely?

How is the impediment happening? If through the threat of violent or illegal action, then that should be illegal. If it's libel (false statement, made while knowing and believing that it is false, with intent to harm), then maybe it should be illegal too. Otherwise, it's protected speech.
This is just something you have to accept, because if these sites did not block not safe for work content everyone using them would almost immediately start using it to generate nude images of the people they know in real life and other very scummy things.

In the long run this is something we're just going to have to learn to deal with as a society, here is a new power we have and it's not going back in the bottle.

But in the short run having these filters is a good way to slow down the inevitable and give us a little bit more time to adapt to this new reality.

In the meantime, you can run it yourself and I think that's a perfectly fine compromise.
that's actually false, if you're referring to keffals at least, the doxing of the second hotel where the whole ordering food happened was done by Vile on doxbin[0].

It's not countable, but vastly more than three. There are civil wars and ethnic cleansing that get organized and supported on Facebook (e.g. Ethiopia and Myanmar). Gang violence and mass murder also get spread on Facebook. Nevermind the harassment and bullying that happens on Facebook, which is, of course, orders of magnitude more than what goes on on KF.

It's just not very sensible to think that big companies care about a few people dying because of a small forum when they demonstrably do not care about many, many, more people dying because of a big forum. It seems way more plausible to me that big tech companies work together to kill small social media than that they have some secret ethic which compels them to care about small harms over big harms.
> the future of the internet seems pretty sad...

That’s frankly terrible. Sites infamous for promoting harassment can’t be hosted anymore. Clearly a tremendous loss for the internet. /s
