May layman's understanding of the Section 230 is that it is forcing tech companies to choose whether they want to be a Platform or not.

If they choose to be a Platform i.e. neutral to the content, then they cannot censor, but they are protected from liability of the content.

On the other hand, if they choose not to be a Platform, they can censor, but then they are not protected from liability of the content.

Tech companies really hate this, because they want to both be free from the liabilities and to censor content. That is why they muddy the public perception of the question, and employ sophists like this to muddy it.
I disagree. The world needs more democracy, not less.
I think the main problem is in how we are only allowed to vote on representatives and not on the actual issues.
Take a look at Switzerland how their democracy is organized, with as much power with the local Gemeinde as possible and voting directly on whatever issue has been raised.

Exactly, I remember when the internet was heralded as a step against racism by removing any bias you normally see - like skin colour, accent, etc.

But now a set of Americans seem dedicated to shoehorn it in. It seems bizarre that everyone from Donald Trump to King Charles to a Polish farmer are seen as identical and homogeneous in their race-based politics as just "white".
Most hated website in America or Democratic run areas of America, certainly not the world.

The same way we punctuate “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”.

More seriously, if following a grammatical rule causes confusion you can choose to ignore the rule (or, as would be the sane choice in the Buffalo situation, evade the rule by rewriting to avoid the issue).
Yeah there's a months-old video from the Russian MoD showing the burying process at that exact site in Izyum, I don't think there's much to it

Bucha though, I've seen drone footage of civilians getting executed by Russian BMPs.

You could argue the systematicity of that process, but Russia's occupation west of Kyiv undeniably caused a large number of civilian casualties
> The way I understand it is that "hate" in this context means "love less"

It means "treat like shit and abandon". You can see this from other examples:

> He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

> Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
And nobody in the U.K. would say ‘period’ when they mean ‘full stop’.

There is also Trigedasleng (Pidgin English) from "The 100":

Trigedasleng (TRI-ge-da-sleng), sometimes shortened to Trig, is the language spoken by the earth-born people, the clans of Mid-Atlantic United States, known as Grounders. Trigedasleng translates to "forest language", it originated with the Trikru clan[1] and doesn't have its own writing system. Trigedasleng is the common tongue for the various Grounder clans,[1] but is not the only language they use.

> By that logic you can include gaming in there as well.

But I sorta do... excessive gaming is a waste of human potential and GPU's.

I honestly regret spending a lot of my teen years playing games, I know that sounds ultra-boomer but the only thing games ever actually did for me was learning how to mod them and getting programming experience from that, something that simply doesn't exist on consoles and sadly many of the most popular games on Earth.

For a time/experience ratio that's not the best way to go about it. I would have been better off surfing and chasing girls with a bit of coding on the side.

If I could go back in time for ten minutes I would berate younger me for spending too long on an xbox, likely to the mocking amusement of my younger self.

Thanks for this summary of the basics of mining (that most people here are familiar with). None of it presents a challenge to my two arguments:

1. BTC holders pay a fee of around 1.7% p.a. of their holdings (until the next halving) to miners (through an increase in money supply),

2. which amounts to around $60 per transaction currently. (Higher if BTCUSD rises or the number of transactions falls; lower if BTCUSD falls or the number of transaction increases, which it cannot much because BTC operates not too far from the limit.)

Not sure if relevant, but for me, when I want to develop quickly and reliably, I go with mySQL, because that's what I know best.

Then when I'm motivated, and find a DB that's really interesting, I force myself to use it (like couchDB) in order to learn my way around it.

That's how I decide what to use.

Your understanding is not merely wrong but 180° from what Section 230 rather specifically and explicitly exists to do. Section 230 exists exactly to eliminate that classic, pre-internet, rule distinguishing publishers from mere distributers, and to allow online information services (and individual users) to censor content without incurring the no-notice civil liability for unlawful content that would apply if the pre-Section 230 rule was applied.

Maybe programming is just a special case where you always think through typing?

For me, yes. It's a question of speed. I type much faster than I can handwrite. For a complex unit of code, it's better for me to dump it as fast as possible so I can hold it in my mental pipeline as a whole.

Long ago, learning touch typing was a huge boost to my programming capacity.

For other stuff, I find it better handwritting so the ideas have the time to sink in. Programming seems a more complex activity.
Not without consequences most of the time.

Have you seen what “regular people” do in such situations? They squint, reach for their glasses, or look for the page zoom controls (which takes a lot of their time). It's almost as if you are happy that those people are not tech savvy enough to use a quick fix (for the problem someone else introduced). It's almost as if the whole industry is based on exploiting the lack of education and understanding of those “regular people”.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/coup-d-etat

> a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.

It is an attempted coup to ask election officials,courts, and then lawmakers to toss out legitimate ballots or wholesale discard or modify results in order to change the outcome of an election and then attempt to intimidate lawmakers with a show of force and violence intended to convince them in the presidents own words to "show some strength" by which it is meant illegally discard democracy in favor of fascism.

This statement by you reads like an apologist for a rapist disregarding allegations by virtue of re-defining rape to mean a stranger dragging a poor misdirected maid into the bushes.

It also reeks of a peculiar strategy that suggests we dismiss the actual by virtue of how little sense the strategy makes in the cold light of day. To this day I refer to this as the Connie defense in honor of an erstwhile house guest who while living in my home stole and then explained when caught that she wouldn't possibly have done that because it would be such an extreme disadvantage to do so for such a small gain. Indeed it was and I don't logically need to explicate her stupidity in order to allow the evidence of my own eyes to trivially convict her and put her out of my house like Fred Flinstone's cat.

The same women got a vehicle towed because she was speeding down the highway, while smoking a joint, and driving without a license. I doubt the Connie defense availed her then either.

We all saw the attempted coup on TV. Personally I watched it in real time on multiple monitors showing the news cameras view on one side and the insurrectionists on the other side. I saw months of blatant lies followed by a plea directly issued by the president to intimidate lawmakers and an organized if badly organized attempt to intimidate lawmakers. It happened. There was no stolen election and indeed only one side was working double time to steal it for Donald Trump.
Sending a memo telling staff how to write to you is a bit of a dick move. If my boss did that I’d be keeping a closer eye on LinkedIn.
Just a personal experience, but the enforcement of this practise at my school had a real detrimental effect on my learning.

I have very bad vision which wasn't picked up for various reasons, so learning to write did not go smoothly (my handwriting is and always has been barely legible). So being forced to write out everything I learned by hand was a real bottleneck for me.

Things went a lot better after I discovered touch typing, and nowadays I learn best via keyboard shortcuts and typed commands.
Facebook moderates their platform and worked to remove the content. 8kun does no such thing.

I have a game with +10 million installs on the both app stores, the truth of it is making the game is about 25% of the work - the rest is dealing with marketing, screenshots, videos, user reviews, Ad/IAP SDKs, waiting for Unity to switch between platforms, dealing with Unity bugs/upgrades, etc..
When you're making the games it's a joy - the rest of the stuff can be a real grind.

> Pick a major from MIT and see their degree program to form a basic knowledge graph of the major

This was exactly how I taught myself, but I used CMU as my guide, lol. It is not hard to find good quality material, many universities have them open, but this curriculum is hard to 'graph' when you don't know where to start and what is an actual logical way to organize it.

So yeah, do this if you are a self-learner.

> it’s sort of a one trick pony right now. It’s a backend web tech. That’s obviously where the money is.

In terms of tech, I wouldn’t classify it as one trick pony. You can also build distributed systems (Erlang), high-end embedded systems (Nerves), data pipelines (Broadway), audio/video streams (Membrane) and more coming. :)

However, you are right that most of the money is on backend tech. But I wonder how much of it is a reflection of the market themselves? If backend web is 10-100x bigger than distsys, then we shouldn’t expect proportions to change drastically.

Data pipelines is one of the areas where we can grow, but data pipelines are only part of a data stack, so it is a fragmented offering. The hope is that with efforts such as Explorer and Nx, we can grow more into this space.

Edit: on the positive side, the recent efforts in data, ML, and native clients are all sponsored by primarily backend web companies. But we all know there is a long road between technical implementation and adoption.
Well a hosted service that is open source would be even better for trust right, since you can inspect the code and make sure it isn't doing anything nefarious. Of course, ideally you would want some kind of garantee they aren't making any changes to the code before deploying it, but a periodic third party audit could potentially accomplish that.
'Ignite tech'? That's a weirdly appropriate name for what they appear to be doing.

I understand that the general audience may need an explanation of the relation between QAnon, the attempted coup, and 8kun, but it's not as if the people who tried to intervene with democracy were all on 8kun reading their "secret messages". Some people go to "the source" but many find the reprehensible behaviour tolerated on those websites to be off-putting. Instead, the rambling and keyboard mashing gets filtered and forwarded to Facebook and other general purpose social media.

Someone larping as a deep state agent isn't doing anything wrong necessarily, the QAnon folks are interpreting literal gibberish as a call to action. Like astrology or animal sacrifice, people are looking for patterns to confirm their preconceptions or to try to make sense of the world around them. 8kun didn't create the Qult, years of corruption, lack of education and a festering, though not necessarily misplaced, hatred for politicians did.

8kun is an easy target because it lets politicians and news agencies point at something bad. The claims of terrorist content, racism, and child porn are not necessarily wrong, but the same content is also posted all over other social media if you go looking for it. The biggest difference is the scale at which the websites operate and big tech's automated moderation (versus 8kun's human moderation). The Qultists gather in "normal" social media like Facebook but because normal people use that it's difficult to point at it and say "this is bad and should be banned".

It's funny how the USA so strongly enforces freedom of speech by law but at the same time drives away websites like 8kun because of the terrible things people say online when they're allowed to express themselves anonymously.

I have always wondered if there would be value in a certification or course track in just Algorithms and Algorithm Design. It's such an intricate but very important field that it can have its own curriculum and be separated from CS. Well, not necessarily separated, but can be considered independently of other CS fields even though it is still part of a CS degree.

There are tons of applications of competency with Algorithms beyond CS. I hate that a person who has great competency with this kind of stuff has to do and be evaluated on the whole CS bundle as if that is only where it matters.

Interseting/informative article! I feel like I haven't read actual journalism in a while! It has a strong point of view, and might be itself part of a campaign, but it's still telling me about the matter.

I find it interesting that the risk curve around how permissive a host is. If they're not permissive, they're possibly going to take your server down at the slightest external pressure. If they're too permissive, they're probably hopelessly embattled and might themselves go bust. But what's the sweet spot? For me, I mostly buy nearlyfreespeech.net's shtick (though less so nowadays) and have used them for about 20 years now, but am always keeping an eye out for other tolerant/stable hosts.
Somewhat counterintuitively, PoW is inherently centralized. Its properties that make it viable at all also make it easy to become controlled by small number of big actors. This is hardly specific to Ethereum.

I agree again, I just think in the US the problems that would need solving run much, much deeper and have to do with something I'd call "anti-collectivist" culture. Individualism tuned up so far, it starts to become destructive: People that would rather hurt themselves than support others.

As long as that kind of thinking is widespread in the US nearly none of the nice things will be possible.
