> And honestly the thing I've read is that it's possible for a company to do child labor in the US. And that this actually happens.

You are missing the part where the foreign owned company is caught by the police and investigated by the authorities, and then the crime is reported by the media.

This is exactly what you'd expect in a country where child labor is not accepted.

It's not honest to omit this part. Indeed it's a deliberate deception.
> which highlights a point i like to make: if you wish to defend KF, first you have to justify the concrete speech being carried out on it

Speech does not require justification any more than any other right does. As a principle, speech is not for something. So I in fact have to neither justify nor endorse KF to consider this wrong.

Where/how is vigilantism occurring?

Yes.

This blog entry explains it much better then I could: https://wingolog.org/archives/2018/05/21/correct-or-inotify-...
Not entirely. It should inspire people to push for legislation that requires cloud providers to host protected speech, provided someone is paying the bill.

But if they want you to double it, you’re going to have some bad news to report.
The reports are interactive and update along with your data, you can slice and drill down as needed. They can also be embedded into your site. https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/7450249

You probably want these reports only available to specific sellers, you would be gated by Google auth... so if you're looking for a better embedded solution you may need to find something open source you can self-host.

> maybe the camera view contributes to the sluggish feeling.

Can confirm. I was physics lead on a console driving game, and we discovered to our surprise that the camera is a critical piece of making sure the physics actually feels like physics, and that it’s quite difficult to get the camera right. The camera can make real physics feel sluggish, cartoony, or just wrong, and a great camera can make fake physics feel real. We humans are pretty sensitive to subtle motions.

Making physics feel right is also about lots of other cues too though (cues which aren’t here in this game). Sound and effects and even sometimes tactile feedback are also needed to complete the illusion. Sometimes real physics is surprisingly sluggish, and we don’t notice how slowly momentum changes until we take away the sounds and bumps and dust and skid marks.

That's not true, though. Remember this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_Am... David Goldberger, a Jewish lawyer, defended actual Nazis' rights to free speech. Do you think that he thought Nazism was justified?
Another good summary is the Platformer newsletter: https://www.platformer.news/p/inside-the-messy-fight-between...
Putting this at the beginning, just in case. I'm not saying that I support this website, but if we're going to be deplatforming and targeting websites, we better be damn sure that they're evil, otherwise we're just puppets of the activists.

Kiwifarms triggered a cascade. They did "enough" questionable things to create a slew of articles that self-reference each other and paint a picture of "kiwi farms is a harassment website that does these X Y Z bad things". There is no "proving" that they aren't bad now, it's been decided by some sort of weird and emergent self-referencing consensus process on the internet.

Last time this topic came up, I tried so very very hard, to find credible sources about wtf this website or it's users did exactly, and couldn't (found some but it was very light). I mean it's there on Wikipedia sure, but if you keep digging it starts repeating and self-referencing other websites that are just as "not credible" or relying on "other websites" that I can't take them seriously on their claims.

This very much reminds me of the question of notability and citing of sources in Wikipedia. The articles they reference are "enough" to have Wikipedia say that this website is "tied [...] to the suicides of three people targeted by members of the forum.". Wtf does "tied" even mean here? Red-flags abound. At this point it seems like a targeted harassment campaign by activists that may well not even know what Kiwifarms did first-hand.
Wow RIP, u-boot is fantastic and it's a real loss to have its creator gone.
That is a lie. Nobody is making "bathtub estrogen". It's not that easy to make. It's always been a joke.

Estradiol as a medication is easily available. It is listed on the WHO list of essential medicines and very commonly prescribed to women after menopause. So there's no money to be made there either.
I like Claire Dennis. I like Juliette Binoche. High Life was darker than I could handle and I've watched some pretty dark films. I wasn't able to finish it. That said, let me be clear that it is not a horror film. It is a film about the horrors humans can inflict on each other, set in space.

Rumors are not a new social pattern. We've handled them fine so far.

Your discomfort is not enough reason to stop the free speech of everyone else. It never was, and never will be.

The most effective way to deal with the damage of deepfakes is to make them ubiquitous and accessible. The more familiar people are with the ability to create deepfake content, the more prepared they are to think critically and distrust it.

The average person already knows that still images aren't flawless evidence. The world didn't fall apart after the first release of Photoshop.
A distributed database shouldn't violate SSOT because the different nodes will agree on the truth (which came from a single source: somewhere upstream, like a git repo). If they don't agree, something has gone really wrong (split brain scenario?)

Really glad to see this coming. Sharing my experience of using Git for rendering docs and blog at Iterative. We've build a similar engine for the https://dvc.org/doc and https://iterative.ai/blog (internally it's Git + DVC for images + Gatsby + Markdown deployed on Heroku (only for APIs) + Cloudflare + S3).

It's been working really great. GitHub PRs + preview applications give a very powerful collaboration / review framework. It works extremely well for folks who understand Git / GitHub enough - engineers, technical writers, etc.

It's starts breaking unfortunately for the marketing team, less tech savvy folks. I was trying to find a solution CMS that would work for them, but haven't seen so far something that would satisfy our needs. Two things that we are usually missing:

- we need a way for people to come and review it (ideally GitHub / Notion / GoogleDoc style). Where you would be able to comment on a line, suggest and edit, etc, etc
- we need a way to handle assets better (using Git for blog was not scalable - started breaking the workflow). So far we ended up using DVC for this, but it complicates the workflow.

- there are merge conflicts that are happening - that's not easy to resolve in CMS

Nonetheless, even a tool that would prepare and generate a PR using an online editor is already a very decent step to my mind. Eager to try the tool.
I consider all my emails confidential, but I acknowledge the fact that nefarious players may gain access to my emails.
"Moon" is the name of the person who spoke the thing above that is being discussed in this thread.

Advising underage people through a wiki on how to make hormones at home is neither sexual assault nor grooming as the term is conventionally understood. How could it be? You can't get in contact with an anonymous reader of information that has been published to the public. You have no idea what they do with that information. So I am not really understanding what its relevance in this thread is.

(If anything, it's an example of free speech. You might not be a fan of it, which is totally fine, but information that advises people of any age on knowledge that people would prefer to be un-known is obviously at least as deserving of free speech protection - both in the legal sense of protection from government interference and in the moral sense that lovers of a free society should support it having a platform - as anything posted on Kiwifarms.)

Whenever Kiwi Farms comes up, I see these claims made about it - that people were threatened with violence, that the forum was used to coordinate harassment campaigns, that home addresses were posted, etc etc - but never with any specific examples shown of any of that happening.
> Whenever you take over one level in the stack, the next level down will just censor you instead.

That’s (among the reasons) why you need net neutrality, which covers the lowest level of the stack.

EDIT: It is interesting that it is the same people that oppose net neutrality that tend to support government intervention at all other levels of the stack to assure that their preferred content regulation and only that content regulation is enforced.

You spend the first part of your comment claiming their is a white culture, and the rest of the comment saying its a transracial American culture. Except for the first half of your sentence, you are exactly correct. White people (and black people) share an American culture. White people often have additional cultural (e.g. Irish-American or Italian-American) with distinct food or holidays or music or whatever. It's those uses that Black culture refers to.
Yep and overpriced travel insurance too. It wasn't just the bureaucratic restrictions they were relying on. The plan was the travel agents would do high pressure upselling to claw back the cost but the public didn't bite in sufficient numbers.

Yes they will. This is the example of them literally doing exactly that.
The logic of weighing cost and benefits is sound, but the PR blunder of saying “the greater good” is astounding. The only correct thing is to talk about the human suffering that you hope to alleviate. Let the listener operate their own moral balance.

The idea that the greater good is a singular knowable thing and she represents it is patently offensive.
This reads like "since the line might be fuzzy, we should never have lines, move on".

Hosting anything on your home connections is already a ToS violation on probably 99.999% of ISPs out there. No need to be Kiwifarms to be kicked off. It's also common from what I heard for them to block incoming HTTP ports entirely.
Have you visited this website? I have. I found what I assume to be doxes which you have to log in to the website if you'd like to view, but that's factual information, why is the statement of factual information so heinous that this website must be taken off the internet? I saw some pretty mean things, but nobody was saying that you should go say these things on other people's profiles, they just kept these mean things on their website. I didn't see anybody organising swattings, or any other sort of criminal activity.

I haven't seen any news reports which substantiate these claims that Kiwi Farms is a haven of criminality, just allegations in newspapers which are presented as fact. I've seen no way to verify that any of these claims are in fact true, nobody has.
Not just knowledge, but stronger ties to those places. As generations go by, they may assimilate into the larger Black culture or not.
Slightly offtopic sorry, but I remember seeing this project years ago for a compiler that emits only mov instructions:

https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator

Since this is effectively branchless and every instruction would take the same number of micro ops, wouldn't this be a very safe way of writing cryptographic code free of side channels?
You're acting like "lobbying to make them" is as easy as following a 3-step how to guide.

Think about trans people as a demographic for a second.

We have very little economic power or numbers worth mobilizing for votes. Absolutely nobody has any interest in lobbying for us, corporations posturing to appeal to idealistic liberals (and then doing nothing) aside.

The only resemblance of institutional power trans people have is to appeal to those that have the actual power.

This story is about an ISP, not a hosting business. To understand why, imagine if you were instead a utility company asking why you should have to provide water or electricity to them.

That makes no sense. A paper supplier is not censoring anyone if they can't or won't provide printing paper.

You're somehow conflating not actively supporting a cause with censoring someone. It's ok if you feel yo have something to say to the world, but that does not give you the right to coerce everyone around you to support your personal project.

> >Well, less gathering because WFH arguably means less friends made in aggregate means less trusting relationships, means downward spiral for society.

> This is a false equivalency. You don't need to be friends to have a basic sense of trust that people won't stab you in the back or be out to get you.

That is not what the point of that article was. The point of that article was that unless people are close they'll assume when they get wronged that there was ill intent even if there wasn't. To put it another way, you forgive your friends but not your non-friends.

> Regardless, it doesn't really matter. You don't need to forcefeed people one way of working like we've done for the past decades, for one. For two, most of your arguments towards adults are moot considering work friends aren't solving the problems most people have regarding lack of friends, quality time, love and romance, and more. Trying to pine this on WFH is pointing at the red herring.

There's a practically unlimited amount of evidence that people make strong and lasting friends at work. Removing that is removing a large source of making friends throughout life.

Further, you mentioned love and romance, well, work is in the top 2 of places that people meet their spouse through work. Switch from spouse to lover and the number skyrockets. Remove that and that source of love and romance disappears.

Dating app are popular now but they only work for people who present well. For the rest, many fall for people they spend lots of time getting to know. Work is the #1 source of a place where people spend time together and so a chance to get to know someone beyond a picture and a paragraph of text.
Hell I dunno bud. All I know is when I followed a few breadcrumbs a while back I quickly found a 'guide' on it. I knew a kid in highschool who extracted DMT himself with lighter fluid from an online guide, and that was just to get high. I know that dysphoria is a pretty desperate situation for some, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone felt motivated to make the attempt.

Small and medium-sized bad actors.

As you say, the big bads have means regardless, and probably don't need it because they're often big enough to hire a lot of humans to do e.g. propaganda for them.

Now, imagine a conspiracy theorist. Not a harmless moon landing denier, but someone who is convinced that pizzagate was a real thing, and gets AI to fake mountains of "evidence" until the politicians that he or she is convinced did those things, are lynched, or at the very least become politically toxic.

Think it can't happen? Fake porn is already being used to harm random women, and real pictures from veterinary text books have been used as fake "evidence" of animal abuse.

AI is a tool that can make anyone more competent, but it doesn't make us better or wiser or kinder.

Sure, they can come up with countless weak excuses if they're dead-set on not revealing the real reason, that goes without saying.
They always like to brag about how many things per unit some software can get but never say what the benchmark platform is. This is why I always ask, how does it do on a Pi 4 4GB? It's all in one, so there's no cheating, and everybody can afford to buy one before releasing their new amazing million whatevers per hour claim.
I never said not to have the discussion. I said it would devolve, and look at what we’re already discussing.
We shouldn't do it to rats either.

The thing is, your view of this is too anthropocentric. Saying this:

"I worry about people passionately drawing very sharp, red, punitive moral lines on things that are pretty subjective and that different people will have different opinions on. We're going to be in a bad place if we all draw slightly different lines on various issues, then condemn and work to punish each other for crossing our lines."

...doesn't take into consideration the experiences of monkeys and other animals.

So you're going to have to morally justify why we shouldn't care about them.

The argument you are making sounds reasonable if applied to, e.g., cancel culture or something, but it's rather willfully oblivious and glib in this context, IMO.

"Can we all find something better to do with our lives than try to punish each other for not toeing the exact line of our individual moral opinions?"

Wouldn't by definition many moral opinions necessitate that one try to get them enforced in some way? You're kind of just downplaying morality overall, arguably.

Again, I'd be sympathetic to what you're saying in a lot of contexts, either where humans are the only creatures involved or the human actions simply don't directly infringe on anyone else. So, abortion, cancel-culture, gay marriage, etc. This way of thinking could be usefully applied to a lot of hot-button issues where the conduct really doesn't actually harm anyone else, human or otherwise. But if it comes to animal experimentation, genocide (see China), various forms of oppression and discrimination within societies (whether racial or like caste-based, whatever), etc., people are going to become indignant, and if they didn't, we'd all just be amoral and compassion-less in a very dystopian way.
No, unfortunately, the serum level of B1 is not a good indicator of deficiency in tissues. There are some proxy tests like measuring transketolase or pyruvate but only a few labs in the world do them and one typically needs high-performance liquid chromatography etc.

See e.g. here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6392124/

That's why I think people should just try megadosing B1 for a while as it is not toxic and to get a datapoint if their troubles can be related to a deficiency somewhere. Many people get instant relief of their problems just after a single dose but the effect might get weaker as the supplementation continues. However, it's a good hint for their physician where to look at.
Basically nobody is hassled about their immigration status in the US these days, except when they either are caught crossing the border, or commit a serious crime which in latter case sometimes results in expulsion. But other than these two, pretty much no explicit hassling.
