We give corporations certain legal rights that humans do not have, such as the ability to avoid individual responsibility for corporate crimes or debts.

It sort of makes sense that you can't stack rights - you either get to choose your human rights, or your corporate rights (which may have limits that your human rights cannot).
"- I personally think burning wood in housing areas should be banned entirely for health reasons."

It would be a start, if coal for heating homes would be banned (you can buy it in the supermarket here).

But stopping people from burning wood they get from their garden/forests, like I do now, is never gonna get through and I do not see any reasons why it should.

The only time burning stoves bother people, is when people start their fires and more so if they do it non efficient. That smells bad and is bad.

But once it burns? Not a problem, unless everyone in a crowded area would do it.

And about CO2, well, it is a net zero, if the area where the wood comes from, is regrowing trees again.

For there to be a parallel in that specific case, that community would’ve had to have had the power to prosecute and enforce judgments against any organisation that published blood libels.

Well the difficult thing is that apparently every day mundane activities can be "political" depending on who is doing them and in what context. Even a character in a show or video game suddenly becomes a political statement (to some people) just by being female, or brown, or gay, etc.

> when you ban speech based on the content, it is a violation of the principle of free speech

This is the sealion's argument, that you have to be willing to engage with them at all times in all contexts. It implicitly denies freedom of association. For example, if I am running doomermetalchats.com do I have to tolerate K-pop fanatics with their relentless positivity and sunny optimism?
There already are common carriers for communication, see email services.

These are unmoderated, just spam filtered. Forums, social sites and video sharing sites are typically not one of these, and the distinction is important. The most important distinct piece is ownership. Shen you signed the Terms of Service with say YouTube, you granted them rights that vastly exceed ones a common carrier has.
Facebook, Twitter, etc. are not even close to inescapable. It's remarkably easy to leave those sites for one of the hundreds of other social media sites out there. We're using a nice one right now.
By shortening enforcement timelines. In the current system, it would take years for someone to bring a case before a court and even more years before the company would pay any fines.

Courts and the government in general should be more proactive by shortening execution timelines. Shorten the time it takes to go from "Maybe tech companies shouldn't censor people" to "We're arresting Mark Zuckerberg today and he's going to jail next week" from a decade to something resembling weeks.

I'm tired of slowness. I want events to happen quickly.
Is it a free forum or isn't it? Is it a transparent window between you and me or isn't it?

To pretend that it is when it actually isn't is a lie.

So trim the conversation all you like, just don't pretend that you aren't doing it.

An "accounting of all trimming" might be appropriate here, right up front.

Or, alternatively, some kind of "untrimmed" certification.

I hear USPS worked phenomenally well until it became a political target. I think the issue is less that we can’t and more that we won’t support or improve these systems for ideological reasons.
Why? Tech enables a small group of people to have extreme power/leverage. In the case of military/control you don’t even need the labor class to serve in the military in large numbers anymore for global supremacy.
> You're waiting for compilation, CI/CD, deploys, because of a bunch of irrelevant stuff.

You could setup your CI to only recompile what's changed, so you wouldn't be waiting for anything else than what you've changed. This usually requires a bit of work upfront, but once you've done it for 1 part of the codebase it is easy and low-maintenance to replicate to the entire codebase. With Gitlab CI (and others), you can import bits of yaml configuration here and there to avoid code duplication for such use cases.

> I'm personally against microservices

In some cases, you need microservices or at least being able to run only a single part of the monolith through configuration. For instance if you want to host parts of the codebase in a separate virtual machine for security or scalability.

I don't think the choice is a matter of opinion but a matter of technical/business requirements.

Yup, decided to repost it, since someone replied with a link that even helped me further last time, so I was hoping to start another convo :) which seems like I have successfully achieved since this even sparked a longer thread this time, which I enjoyed reading.
Right, a lot of people do that. One shouldn't keep out of mind though that C isn't really a subset of C++. There are more than a few differences.
They weren't fully illegal at the time. Citizens United actually got the idea to do it from Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, which was theatrically released in the small window between primary and general election seasons but advertised and shown at Cannes during the primary. The FEC's policy was based on a standard of "bona fide commercial activity" - filmmakers were covered by the restriction if and only if the FEC didn't think they were trying hard enough to make money.

Of course, like you said earlier, maybe they would have been fully illegal if the US didn't have a written constitution requiring lawmakers to think in terms of principles. It's a hard hypothetical to reason about.

In English, the colon is used to separate a term to its definition, so it looks perfectly apt to mark declarations.

Besides, it makes it trivial for text editors to implement "go to definition", and many other niceties without a real semantic parser.
From the article:

> The Texas law forbids social media companies with at least 50 million monthly active users from acting to "censor" users based on "viewpoint," and allows either users or the Texas attorney general to sue to enforce the law.

From the law (https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/872/billtext/html/HB00020F...):

> This chapter applies only to a social media platform that functionally has more than 50 million active users in the United States in a calendar month.
FYI: The article itself is on the top right of the pseudo-PDF that this link renders.

After reading it, I thought it was funny to imagine "reading" replace with "Instagram" in the original author's invective. It would be so much fun to live in a world where everyone was constantly reading books everywhere now! But, these days, whenever there's an idle moment, most people reach for their phones and plug in to the nearest dopamine feed.

Maybe this is just how it goes. In 25 years, maybe everyone will just don their VR goggles while they're on public transit, and people will long for the days when everyone sat around scrolling their phones, and it was still possible to make eye contact.
How is it more moral to force someone to provide care for free than it is to tax the populace to provide universal care?
Lots of countries in South America also have socialized healthcare and it’s terrible. The question is, “Is America’s competency with government programs more similar to South America or Europe?”
And my local formerly government owned gas company has had a very similar logo for longer than the web exists.

If people want there to be a public square online, lobby the government to build and maintain it. Call it "US GOV Civic Not-Facebook public square". Let your taxes pay for it and enjoy all the awesome freedom it'll bring. Otherwise, stop trying to dictate how a private company runs their own business.

As a Canadian it felt a little weird seeing "province" tacked on to the end of Ontario (and Quebec, earlier on in the article). Is this an Americanism, and why?

I get that there is Washington State and Washington, DC, but there's only one Texas, one Connecticut, one North Dakota...

No Canadian I know calls it Ontario province or Yukon territory (though I suppose the NWT is the lone exception.)

1. As I understand it, state constitutions are subordinate to the US constitution. In case of a conflict, the US constitution prevails.

2. "Disruption" is highly subjective. On one end of the scale is spam, on the other end is political speech that platforms declare is "harmful". Do you think the mall in question could get away with booting the petitioners, as long as they could provide some vague reasoning to how their stated politics lead to "harm"?

3. You move from "endorsement" to "tone", I suspect because you realize no-one in their right mind believes Meta "endorses" every post on Facebook. But the point is valid - the tone of social media is more central to their business than the tone of a shopping mall. But what tone can a platform's billion+ users claim to share? And should their desire to shape a tone, at that scale, supersede their users free speech interest?
Wood is a multi-purpose natural resource, renewable if the demand is not too high, VERY easy to source in most inhabited land. When a crisis happen... Well... We all dream something but we need also to go to war with the weapons we have not those we want.

Let's say you have an old, far from being insulated and airtight enough home, in a climate cold enough that you need 10-15-20-30-40+ degrees more inside than outside to be in comfort. You can't count on electricity grid AT LEAST that's what many keep saying, so far without real world cases but... So you can't count on heat-pumps nor gas nor pellet nor essentially 99% of heating gear since they need electricity, even just few W to run. What you can do quickly and cheaply? Burning wood is the most simple, cheap, quick, reliable answer.

Oh BTW in most EU wood burning in cities is forbidden, just some Pizzerias are allowed with deep filters for fumes, so 99% of wood burning users are outside cities and outside there is typically a significant amount of trees around so I really doubt anyone buy wood from USA to burn it directly. Instead I think some companies buy it to made pellets, and that's yes an absurdity but also another story.

Pellets in theory should ONLY be made from wood waste from other usages (like producing panels, laminated stuff etc) and NOTHING more, but "the market" decide differently for business reasons and the absurdity happen.

Said that wood demand have skyrocket for the green new deal, for constructions, witch again is another story.

So surely you've asked your employer to stop providing insurance so that you can obtain it on the open market?
Why the word hyperbolic. It doesn't seem to make sense. Exponential automation seems better.
Except that healthcare is needed outside of work, by the worker, their spouse and children. It's needed for the person with the job and the one without. For the rich and the poor. Bad analogy, healthcare is a human right that shouldn't be tied to a job.

> I don't see how the heck my website is a public square but my home or café isn't, this argument sounds self-contradictory.

If it's a website with over 50 million users, and it's designed explicitly as a place for these users to express themselves, then calling it "a public square" seems entirely warranted.
I had a similarly positive experience there. The energy of CDMX is vibrant and the city is full of life.

Rhetoric? I'm making an objective point about the political spectrum. Moldbug labeled his own philosophy as the Reaction, and condemned conservatism as being doomed to perpetual failure because some progressivism inevitably occurs regardless. And it's just plainly nonsensical to label a movement aimed at undermining longstanding institutions as "conservative".

As far as synthesis and reconciliation, for a long time I viewed the answer as that of respecting individual liberty. Each party seems to get its constituents excited about a desire for individual freedoms on topics that matter to them, and then transmutes that energy into enacting authoritarian regulations that benefit their commercial sponsors. I had hoped that over time the liberty would be an attractor that gained ever more ground. But the flare up of grassroots authoritarianism, specifically in the Republican party where it has gone mainstream, has shown this was too optimistic. So I'm left hoping that there are enough actual conservatives horrified by these developments that will end up voting for the actually conservative options (which now seems to be mostly in the Democratic party) to keep the off the rails reactionary populism from causing too much damage.
The bitter truth is that not every Democrat supports universal healthcare.

Totally agree, audio quality is super important. I'm an audio engineer so of course I'm biased, but high quality microphones, amplifiers, speakers and engineers (operators) make such a big difference at any event. Proper lighting is also very important. There's no need for big bright lights. Dim all of the lights down, and add a touch of color with room uplights. Make sure it's not so dark that folks can't see the ground well (tripping hazards) but make sure it's dim enough so that it creates a relaxed atmosphere.

Further: Citizens United didn't just pop into our reality, fully formed, from a vacuum. Decades of prior jurisprudence and SCOTUS rulings related to campaign speech led to it.

Too many people think CU was some sort of this-changes-everything moment when it was actually a fairly narrow, technical decision based on prior rulings.
I won’t fact check this, but the Bay Area Spare the Air page says the following, which seems pretty reasonable. It’s easier to find science on the danger of the particulate smoke, which you don’t seem to object to.

> During the cooler winter months, more than one-third of particulate pollution comes from wood smoke. On some days, in certain areas, wood smoke can account for up to 90 percent of particulate pollution.

> On cold, calm days, wood smoke can become trapped close to the ground by an inversion layer, typically formed when a layer of warm air acts as a lid over a layer of cooler air. Inversions prevent the air below from rising, which causes pollutants to build up.

Both state and federal laws have to comport with the constitutional free speech doctrines. Technically they apply to the federal government via the First Amendment and state governments via the Fourteenth Amendment but for a hundred years now the content of the doctrines have been considered identical when applied to either.

Citizens United isn’t directly on point. That was a question of positive corporate speech while this law, if it’s struck down will be struck down under the corporate compelled speech doctrine. But they are both part of the same body of Constitutional law that the federal courts very much have jurisdiction to enforce.
In my understanding, businesses, in theory should never use unlicensed proprietary software. If they want to cut costs, they should use free software. There are almost always free alternatives, which may or may not lack features available in their paid alternatives. If they badly want those software, they should try to increase their revenue using free software and then switch to paid.

What would be the point of a health insurance startup? It's just a risk pool. You get cancer, it costs (let's say) 3 million. He doesn't, risk, 1.5 million.
