What about the laptop suggested anything unethical done by Joe Biden?

Ultimately that's the reason the story was "censored", it was fake. Something vaguely suspicious sounding about Hunter used to try and malign his dad, and ethical news sites and journalists wanted nothing to do with it.

To this day, there's no evidence of any actual wrongdoing, and even Trump's own justice department failed to charge Hunter, or even continue the investigation, because it was so clearly nothing of note.
Technically none of them should have died, but the incompetence of the Chinese Communist Party and the NIH under Dr. Fauci ensured another outcome.

Nobody's businesses needed to shut down. Kids didn't need to be banned from schools. Churches should not have been locked up. Governors completely screwed us with what we now know were fully arbitrary rules made solely for compliance.

Nobody needed to lose their job over a "vaccine" mandate that functioned more like Tylenol than a vaccine. As such, nobody needed to lose their house or live in their car, or relocate their entire families in search of new work.

Finally, the only immunity the vaccine produced was given to the pharma companies, who up until March 2020, were the devil incarnate.

"I also prefer people like Alex Jones not getting rich from manufacturing controversies."

But you'd be fine with CNN enriching themselves doing the same thing, because that's what they do, just to a different audience and different tactics, yet the same outcome (revenue).

"Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences."

This is beaten to death and it doesn't really mean anything. It is a way for you to say, my way or the highway. It is not constructive. The very purpose of free speech, free association, and free press is to say what you think without consequence.

Our respective feelings matter very little and factor even less into the equation.
U wot. If Tesla engineers do work for free for a company owned by one of the shareholders, there's clear damage there in the form of misallocation of resources.

As a developer with a few years of commercial Scala experience I’ve been approached by Twitter in the past.

Working there appealed on many levels. They have a lot of Scala talent and a huge influence on world affairs. I turned down the interview request though, because I suspected l’d feel marginalised working at Twitter. My views do not align with leftism/authoritarianism/groupthink/TheCurrentThing, and it’s clear to me that Twitter leans in those directions. Their handling of discussion the Hunter Biden laptop story was sinister beyond belief, and for them to leave Taliban accounts up while banning the democratically-elected leader of the free world just beggars belief.

Knowing Elon Musk is in charge makes Twitter appealing to me now. Musk is a visionary. His achievements and capability speak for themselves. He is a rocket scientist, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, mathematician and computer scientist. Self taught. And he has a sense of humour and doesn’t take himself seriously. Not many CEOs have these qualities. Not many companies have the reputation of SpaceX and Tesla. I’d be proud to work for Twitter under Musk.
I sort of wish that we used something more like this[0] for add-on module power connectors. And a better mechanical design. The perpendicular card form-factor is silly.

>It is true that you can have more diversity in a room of people of one race than a room of people of all different races

Since it's clear that diversity without race differences can exist, but diversity without different ideas can't exist, then why care about race at all?
I'd actually say that the macro market changed so dramatically during the debacle that he got cold feet given that his other assets devalued and still had to pay the asking price for an overpriced company is why he tried to back out.

Though he might not have a plan - that's also plausible.
But you cannot focus where you want, so it’s not 3d but layered 2d. In a 3d emulated image you cannot focus on a background object and even if you could the interpupillary distance would be the same and so the focusing one. Our image processing in the brain uses such information to calculate, that’s why you can approximate the dimension of an object and distances in real life but not in a picture even if it is a 3d one.
Sounds like a great way to foster a community filled with racist, unwelcoming, and generally toxic but perfectly legal content. Just like every other "free speech" platform devolves into.
That depends on the orientation with regard to the poles. If the source were directly over a pole, only fifty percent of the planet would be directly exposed. If it were over the equator, however, the whole planet would be, if it were a magic GRB that lasted way longer than usual.
> but at the same time public is free to criticise Twitter for said moderation policy and the way it's applied

I certainly never argued that the public should not be allowed to criticize Twitter.
Sorry, Yes.
If the universe is filled with violent incidents then it doesn't really matter how probable life is. It will take an extreme amount of luck to manage to survive through all those events. The Fermi Paradox doesn't exclude life, just the frequency of it. You could still have plenty of alien civilizations out there, but at a frequency of one every a thousand galaxies or so because everything else gets wiped out every so often.

I agree and I fully understand. I'm from EU working with Ukrainian colleagues, so for me it's closer.

I was never too bothered with other wars that were "far away", so I understand for US it's "far away'. But it was really strange to see all these rich US Silicon Valley guys wanting to share their uninformed opinion, and then get trashed by people who do know.

This is the very famous in economics theory of Becker and Stigler. The high pay isn't so that they don't need side hustles, it is to make the (small) chance of being discovered and losing their job painful. You pay much above market wages, people will not risk losing their job.

Is it true? Well, maybe. From Van Rijckeghem and Weder (2001):

> ... we find evidence of a statistically and economically significant relationship between relative wages and corruption.... While economically significant, the relationship, nevertheless, implies that a large increase in wages is required to eradicate corruption solely by raising wages... The relationship between wages and corruption is not found in regressions with country-fixed effects which points to ineffectual wage policy in the short run...

I haven't found much better evidence than that, though there is Di Tella & Schargrodsky (2004) with a detailed study on a hospital.
> twitter bans have very little effect, from the covid misinformation to ukraine stuff

This is false, the ban on Trump had a massive effect on online misinformation. [1] Platforms really do matter.

First they came for Nazis and I did not speak out for I was not a Nazi.

Technically I did say something. I said "Cool, get those Nazi's out of here, good job."
You know why? Because we want to get off this rock... and anything that takes EM's focus off of SpaceX is bad :-)
Babylon Bee being suspended was one of the dumber things the previous Twitter rules had done. It's a satire site, it's right leaning, nothing in the piece they said was hateful or even an unpopular view. Kanye's ban, he's just a mentally ill person. I don't think he meant "death con" he just didn't know that it's actually "def con." His remarks are still reprehensible.

Twitter's whole moderation problem has been it is very, very inconsistent. I've seen accounts from certain political persuasions be banned or suspended, but then I have seen someone openly tell someone to kill themselves (or that they deserve to be killed or beaten) and the tweet was never removed, and the person was never suspended/banned because of the account it was aimed at. The Onion has had some questionable pieces that weren't any better than what Babylon Bee had, and they were never touched. The moderation has to be consistent; I don't think a council is a bad idea, especially for bigger account bans.

All that said, I hope Trump is never allowed back, but he probably will be. In any case, things have to be equally applied and that has not been the case to anyone paying attention. Even the doxing rules have basically been completely ignored if it were aimed at -some- people.

Then, there are things like the Taliban, Russia, China, etc which have at times actively cheered on social media about the death of Americans or an American defeat... having active accounts but then you ban sitting members of the US government? (I think Trump deserved it, but there are others.) How does that make any sense at all?
He has a series of videos in which he explains stuff very well from the ground up (it's very new, he hasn't finished the series yet).
He also gave concrete steps on how to achieve that, and everyone got up in arms because those steps involved throwing Russia a bone so they can spin the peace as a win domestically.

Of course that's unpopular right now because Ukraine is winning the war and everyone wants to go with "let's push Russia out and hope they take it with dignity". But Musk has a different risk profile and would prefer de-escalation. And I'm not sure how you would deescalate without some concessions to both sides.
It's important to note here, and to the comment you replied to, that Trump won an election, and currently has higher approval ratings than Biden. That's a problem if your belief system relies on your being part of an oppressed majority, or to use the original term, a "moral majority."

That's why it's important to remove appeals to popularity from moral reasoning.
Yes, that’s fair. I’m using colloquial shorthand on mobile.

What I mean to say is that I support a company freely choosing to adopt a content moderation policy that aligns as closely as possible to the US 1st Amendment.

I think the US 1st Amendment is among (if not the) strongest free speech laws in the world, and it would be beneficial to society to have a major social media platform adopt that ideal as their North Star.

Right now presents an interesting and rather unique opportunity to convert a major social media platform from an ad-driven model with shareholders seeking endless growth to a sustainable, long-term business model with a revenue model that aligns closer to users. And sprinkle on top the idea of making the platform more inclusive to diverse groups and opinions with less echo-chamber. That interests me.
This is just kicking the can down the next level on the issue. They can't tell which bots are bots so what difference does it make it if the solution isn't to ban them but to just limit them? The problem is identifying the bots.
I don't think it necessarily implies a one-way trade. Users supply twitter with content-capital(and their time in attention) and in exchange they get the benefit of access to other users and socio-digital engagement. Yes, it's for free - there's no money being exchanged, but it isn't a one-way process by any means.

As far as re-definining terms, you can guess I'm not in agreement. But also know that my analysis isn't some idiosyncratic redefinition. In fact, my analysis sits staunchly after the historical development of Ricardianism, but prior to the marginal revolution. To claim that it isn't based in fact is a nod to the implicit assumption of the orthodoxy of marginal-realism. It's funny. HN will claim that the world could use more heterodox thinkers, but when it's presented with them fiercely holds to orthodoxy.
Most US cities as they exist today would not exist if you could not convert agricultural land to other uses. Where does suburbia come from? Former farms.

The political effects Musk is after are mostly accomplished by removing bans on a small number of people and accounts. The rest can stay (roughly) the same.
Thank you. I hope this is a truly diverse council composed of different races and ages. Maybe Trump, Rubio, Thomas, Crenshaw, Boebert would be diverse enough for you?
Interesting idea,

Does the script get the new version url&expected hash from the website alone? Or does it get the expected hash from the website, then calculate the URL from github?

Basically I'm wondering if that prevents just needing to attack the website - if the url to download the update and the expected hash are in the same place then it's still a single point of failure.
Not sure how the Go implementation is but by design IPFS is a very slow protocol.
The piece is chock full of interesting findings, using terms biologists routinely use. But, do those terms they use, e.g. neuron, synapse mean the same thing they do for biologists? For instances, we know that synapses can be one of excitatory or inhibitory, and we know that neurons are bathed in a wash of hormones. Neurons make hormones which serve other functions throughout the brain. For instance "Neuron-Derived Estrogen Regulates Synaptic Plasticity and Memory" [1]. How does the linked work stack up against that?

People beat others or kill others over difference of opinion. And sometimes, the "difference of opinion" is that some people think a this or that minority should be killed while minority disagree.

Better than the alternative for limits on the government perhaps. Better for moderation on social media? I don't really agree.

I do find the continued attempts to paint social media kicking transphobes off their platforms as equivalent to the actual Nazis hilarious, though.
But ... the examples on the right are short, concise, and effectively communicate the problem. The left examples contain no actionable information, wasting the time and attention of everyone in the channel/thread.

Maybe working in an adversarial or dysfunctional work environment is what leads to misinterpreting a detailed message as hostile.

Or the team needs to learn to use communication tools effectively. Slack messages should be concise. But a bug report doesn't always fit neatly into a few lines of text. Use an issue tracker for detailed reporting and Slack/email for informal conversations.

Either way the point of the blog post stands - everyone needs to communicate clearly and avoid ambiguous language. If I send an ambiguous message to 10 people, I've just increased their mental overhead and frustration, ultimately distracting the team and slowing them down. Instead, I should take a moment and try to look at it from their point of view and try to communicate what they need to hear and not what I want to say.
Freedom of speech, even Trump deserves it
The minute he takes the company private his job there is done. Everything else will follow from the new incentive structure.
It's insane. They should be held to the same standards as everyone else. Most of their complaints center around being outraged when the rules they've grown accustomed to being above are finally applied to them.

Because as an outsider, he doesn't like any restriction of his speech, but as an insider, he doesn't like speech critical of him.

I expect Twitter to continue canceling people for holding the wrong opinions, it's just that the definition of wrong will flip.
How is Rust or any other language supposed to help with this? Unless there is a serious design problem in the current go codebase, removing GC overhead will not by itself solve the problem of some software having to run all the time
I don't think he has presented any big idea regarding Twitter. In case I missed it, I'd be happy to learn what his big idea for Twitter is. By all impressions, he was dragged kicking and screaming into finalizing the deal - that doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he has bold ideas he'd like to try.
If we kept a mirrored or distributed decentralized network of just cryptographic hashes, that might solve a huge number of problems around distributing files securely.

Thanks! Sounds like my routine tbh, and I also definitely did not enjoy the office - working remotely has been a blessing.
When ordering results, one would expect the top results to contain information mostly pertaining to the search term.

"Dinosaurs" and "my old book says the world is only a few thousand years old, therefore I'm going to try to convince you that carbon dating is invalid by hand-waving my way to the conclusion that Dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time" is a bit of a stretch. I'd expect maybe "Triceratops" as a result near the top, for example.
> taking an axe to the things that keep the lights on at Twitter: effective content moderation and talent.

I have experienced the 'effectiveness' of Twitters moderation team on multiple occasions where they were very ineffective at upholding the very clear cut rules surrounding things like doxxing on their website. I had my personal information made public, and they ignored me. Multiple times. I even created a new account with no way for there to be any publicly available personal info; and yet I was still doxxed somehow, and they still ignored me.

So, in the spirit of HN's rules, I just want to say this, since end user experience should be allowable to share (I hope.).

Effective moderation at twitter is a myth as far as I see it, and their only talent is making it look like they have effective moderation when they care.

P.S. I also was doing nothing wrong in any case where this happened. It was all conversations which should have been considered civil (mostly) and one situation where it had nothing to do with politics or philosophy at all. Yet they did nothing.

Nothing.
There are a few (unofficial) moddable games if you look into the homebrew scene. But for this you need to have a Switch that is capable of running unofficial code (either old Switch with a softmod or a Switch with a hardmod)

If you have such a Switch you can use a tool that overwrites/unions the content of the game cartridge with content of a folder on your SD card. That means you could add some files (e.G. maps) into the game.

From the top of my head you can definitely mod the Skyrim Switch version as well as the Star Wars Jedi Knight Games (at least these were the two games which I've played around it). But I am pretty sure that there are Mods for the mario games.

It's been around for a while. "Viewpoint diversity" has been on the rise since the early 2010s at least, especially among thinktank Republicans and the intellectual/philosophical fringe of the liberal elite.

I recall hearing the phrase a lot in the context of overbearing DEI initiatives (now commonplace) that were criticized for being too superficial in their concern with diversity of "race" rather than diversity of opinion.
Twitter is not a megaphone. So tired of news sites using that analogy. I can choose what I see on Twitter.
Yes! No more staging!

Staging hides bugs. Staging tends to be manually altered in ways that CD doesn't do. Staging for testing means likely collisions. Not to mention cleanup so that the environment can continue to be used.

Favor ephemeral environments instead. Need to demo? Spin one up. Need to do some end-to-end exploring? Spin one up.

Spot a problem in an ephemeral environment? Keep it up so someone can investigate.

All done with it? Spin it down.

Can't do that because of all your special snowflake infra code? Well, that's a problem waiting to happen anyway. Fix it so that you can spin up ephemeral environments.
Maybe longwave can make a come back with digital modulation. There's a ~100 kbit/s broadcast channel available way down there, with uniquely excellent propagation characteristics. (Viewing radio as a wave, at such long wavelengths, when the radio waves encounter buildings, or even mountain ranges, they diffract around them. It's like how most of the energy of a wave on the surface of some water diffracts around a small rock sticking out of the water, rather than being stopped by it.) A single transmitter can cover most of a continent, with indoor and even some ground penetration. Receivers are simple, and can have tiny antennas despite the wavelength. There are even watches that can sync themselves to longwave time signal broadcasts, which are about the only thing on LW currently broadcast in North America.
So your interest in elon musk and free speech is just the objectively correct thing to be interested in, and isn't attached to your biography at all?
