I'm not sure it's wise to believe the headline claims about UK GDP (or lack of it), particularly if those stories mention Brexit. There's more to it, and there's an awful lot of Brexit-related bias in play.

"For 2021 as a whole, UK GDP growth was 7.5%. This was the highest in the G7. The UK had the largest decline in GDP among the G7 in 2020 (-11.0%) and its relatively strong performance in 2021 was to some degree a recovery from weakness in 2020.

Please note that headline GDP growth figures across countries are not 100% comparable. For example, the UK takes a different approach to others in calculating output in the education and health sectors. This has resulted in the UK’s GDP growth figures being lower in 2020, and higher in 2021 (as this effect unwound), compared with other G7 economies than they otherwise would have been."

I don't think we should frame free speech standards based on Pakistan, if your bio is correct.

OP seems to assume anyone who works for Tesla must be inferior to anyone from Twitter.

Dubious.
Thankfully the world doesn’t run in Twitter.
> I have no idea why anyone gives a damn what the content moderation policies might be.

Because falling afoul of them doesn't just make your tweets not show up in Discover to people who don't know you. It means you can't tweet to your friends either.

To be clear, your post has completely valid reasons to not care if moderation is too lax, but you do still need to care if it's too strict.
Got it. Thanks.

Re --check, I suppose the way to do that would be to download the file to disk, which --check requires as fair as I can tell. So I could download the file to disk, --check, and then remove it. I think most of these installs scripts are trying not to leave any artifacts around from install, other than the resulting binary.

I view Elon's purchase of Twitter the same as other ultra wealthy people that purchase a news or media business (The Atlantic - Laurene Powell, Washington Post - Bezos), a way to shape narratives and control information.

The question is, was a new media platform worth the price compared to a "newspaper" or magazine?
One "cost savings" will come in the form of employee layoffs and then the following payroll reductions. IF twitter retains it's advertisers and continues to add additional advertisers this will make it profitable in short order. In fact, if I was in the marketing division at twitter I would be drumming up business.
This is a honest question. Why do people talk about "free speech" because there is no such thing outside of 1st Amendment which is to ensure that Govt. cannot do anything to an individual. For private businesses, where is this free speech coming from ? Twitter banning someone (whether you agree or disagree) is not a violation of free speech unless the definition has changed.

Trump wasn't the only elected official removed. I just don't think the president of the U.S. or any democratically elected official should be removed from a public platform such as this.

I wonder where this line of thinking will lead. Will content licensors start demanding logs from streaming services and go after vpn users directly?
That happened before elon officially took over. He replied to a question about it on Twitter and i really don’t see him lying about it.

Im not a elon fan. At all. but the knee jerk reaction he gets at this point is kind of deserved… however you’re better off not falling into that trap.
This is incredible! I didn’t know the story! Thank you so much for finding the link, it’s a great piece of history!

Just a reminder, at that time you couldn’t do console.log(), because it worked with the devtools open, but “console” would be null with the devtools closed, which is treacherous because it only bugged for non-dev users. As a bonus, IE would ask the user whether they wanted to debug.
> On all Linux distros on all hardware , one should use the (latest(stable)) vendor drivers. :)

My experience is the exact opposite, vendor drivers are almost always garbage, and the kernel drivers just work.
There's another theory that fits the data: rightwing sources are more likely to share things that are enraging to rightwing readers. After all, rightwing sources are mostly followed by rightwing readers, same as with leftwing. Usually they just stay in their bubble. As to why rightwing sources would do this, I can think of a couple of reasons, but they are outside of the scope of my comment.

> It's not so hard to make your system detect if an image is similar to both porn and child.

Yeah, I'm not so sure. Naked child bodies are very different than naked adult bodies, so it doesn't obviously follow that naked child bodies would be classified as porn without those being in the training set.
I would imagine the committee is not bound by past decisions, so it would follow that we'd see accounts getting unbanned at first.
This is rather confusing to me.

Earlier this year he seemed pretty set on the idea of allowing whatever's legal, making Twitter all about free speech. But now it'll just get some minor changes? If it's true, why the change of heart?
Good. Most such councils are echo chambers, because people who want to be on such councils are activists who want to destroy "the other".

Which makes for a stable state of echo chamber extremists.
Conservative political views means essentially the same thing everywhere.
It's called apt. Or dnf. Or most any package manager. Having a gigantic general list runs into the problem of how do you update it and how do you verify the updates?
Serious question - What is the benefit of verifying a hash? Are we really worried about file integrity? Why don't people use GPG?

The hash only verifies file integrity, and that the content of the url doesn't switch the script later. But keep in mind in most scenerios, and attacker would also just change the hash listed too (they're usually on the same website). This only mitigates one very specific attack.

Why don't we use GPG here? That way we can verify ownership and file integrity with at minimum TOFU, plus optional manual verification? If we're going through the work of adding a wrapper and all that, we may as well no?

This has the benefit that you only need to import the owner's cert once, all future changes have the same cert. Where hashes are obviously different every time, you have to trust the source of the hash every time it changes. With GPG at the very least you have TOFU with certs - and very best can have better assurance of the initial download too.

EDIT: Just want to clarify - I'm openly asking why the "developer community" is going the direction of hashes for script verification vs GPG signatures.

I don't mean to diminish your project, your project looks fun, and does make verifying hashes easier :)
My setup was moderately good but your payoff was infinitely better. O, that I had more than one upvote to give

I love how I can run ps and know what every process running on it is.
> derisive in the culture of the target
> the individual is likely to receive targeted threats as a result.

Obvious and simple solution here:

1. Allow people to say whatever offensive jokes they want.

2. Keep banning the actual problem: those who make the targeted threats.

The entire concept of "incitement" is ridiculous. We have agency. Nobody can force me to go threaten someone. Go after the ones who commit actual harm, not the ones who make jokes.
I'm talking in aggregates, of course I don't assume that because it would be totally illogical.

I'll be explicit in my assumption. If it were actually possible to rank engineers in some measure of productivity/effectiveness, the median at Twitter would be more product/effective than the median at Tesla. This gap would widen if we are talking about productivity/effectiveness at tasks necessary for Twitter's business.
The EU doesn't have worldwide jurisdiction over prohibited speech. Why should an American company have to take down anything that's legal here, even if it wouldn't be there?
I've read some speculation that Musk did it because he wanted to dump a bunch of Tesla stock without tanking its price (with the justification being to help fund the Twitter buyout) and thought he could somehow back out of the agreement unscathed.

I have no idea how accurate that is, though, and I'm certainly not a lawyer.

No, that is like saying someone should remove some obscene clothing before entering a private establishment and here you are comparing it to be tortured.

> The American constitution has done a uniquely good job of enumerating those limits.

Assuming you're referring to constitutional law jurisprudence here and not the First Amendment's meager words here, I don't think I can agree with this statement. The short summary of the jurisprudence is that the government has no powers of censorship whatsoever, and the margins of where speech can become illegal are so far away that it's basically impossible to reach them (e.g., to reach the bar in Brandenburg, you more or less need to be at the head of a literal mob getting ready to lynch somebody). Unless you're a student.

As a guideline for moderation, it's absolute shit. There's ample evidence that absence of moderation will cause forums to degrade into cesspools, and the guideline of First Amendment jurisprudence is that the government is not permitted to be a moderator.
Exactly.

If you live in a major metropolitan area, or own a home that has rapidly appreciated, well, it all adds up quickly.

Also consider: import taxes raise the price of goods, and thus are a wealth transfer from consumers to producers. Sugar is the classic example: import tariffs increase the effective tax burden of the lowest income quartile substantially, as they spend a larger percentage of their income on food. Anything with high fructose corn syrup, sweetener, or sugar is more expensive. And the corn farmers get that money.
This is my thought. One way or the other, Twitter is going to be less of a blight on society a year from now. I consider them far worse than Facebook, even though Facebook gets more criticism.
Congress tried passing limits on Free Speech almost immediately with the Sedition Act of 1798. It was very unpopular and eventually allowed to expire.

I really dont understand why his Ukraine tweets were controversial. He clearly has done in support of Ukraine with providing Starlink etc.

He doesnt have control of arms shipments or policy decisions that the Western powers are making (sanctions, etc). Yet another example of how polarized the US (maybe the West) is, where if you say *any* that questions our unilateral support of Ukraine (even if that has to do with increased chances of nuclear war) you're an asshole.

I'm sorry, but this situation has a lot of nuance - quit acting like it doesnt. You can cautiously support Ukraine but also realize that the US has little to gain as each day goes by with Russia getting smoked by Western weapons and training.
If all he had said is “let’s not escalate to nuclear war” then there would be no controversy.
And you have Bernie supporters shooting up GOP softball games, democrats setting fire to court houses, and radical groups running over Christmas parades attendees because they were white.

I think you have to do that manually for each tweet. The setting isn't persistent.

Anyway, you can also make your account protected, so that nobody can see or reply to your tweets unless you approve. However, I would say it's not fair to claim that "you are using Twitter incorrectly" if you don't make your account protected, or if you don't restrict replies to every tweet you write.

Even if you restrict replies, people can still quote-tweet dunk on you.

I don’t think ISIS is currently on Twitter. They were some years back, but was that because Twitter had decided to allow them, or was that just tardiness in enforcement?

ISIS is a sanctioned entity. Knowingly allowing them, or anyone identified as a member, to post on Twitter, would likely be illegal under sanctions laws.

To the extent that Twitter’s approach to ISIS is not mandated by sanctions laws-I don’t see Musk changing Twitter’s corporate policies on ISIS-he has zero sympathy for them and no doubt views them as a threat to humanity’s future.

Musk is likely good news for Donald Trump, Babylon Bee, Jordan Peterson, Libs of TikTok, etc - but no change for ISIS.

Minimum western standards.

Anti-semitism is a “good” if you’re a Palestinian.

Racism similarly can be “good” for members of a minority fighting for literal survival.
I’m not gonna get into the weeds with you about what is and isn’t funny. But I think you prove why Musk is facing an uphill battle, the issue with twitter isn’t technological or better moderation.

It’s cultural, we have many people (like you) who believe they’re the arbitrators of truth. They alone understand and know what is fact and what is fiction, even if that fact is a moving target that changes by the hour, the hypocrisy of that is totally lost on these folks (ie you).

Additionally, the fact-setters refuse to even entertain the idea that maybe their “facts” are not based on reality, and they label anyone who disagrees with them as evil. And everyone agrees that evil must be culled. They will often use extreme epithets (nazi, bigot, hitler, white supremacist) to get their point across, no matter how inappropriate, contradictory, or ahistorical that insult might be in context.

Until people can step out of their bubble and be willing to admit that the world is a million shades of grey we’re not gonna solve this problem.

As your namesake understood intimately, we can’t know it’s in someone’s heart. And as a reasonable modern observer should understand, Elon makes frequent course adjustments. Not only don’t we know how it’s going to work out, my guess is he doesn’t know either at the moment.

Why is banned vs Twitter jail (or whatever the term is) a meaningful distinction?
Because a bunch of white men can't mansplain and understand the challenges women and PoC go through.
I love the description, "whimsical chaotic energy". I would like to meet that man. I'm not sure that is the best way to describe the man who labeled a critic as "pedo guy".
The two tweets for which he was banned were:

"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"

and

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th."
He said exactly why he bought Twitter. Yet you dismiss his reasons out of hand. Don’t even mention them in your analysis. And presents this theory of a very reactive, fearful personality who is motivated by money and has little vision for the future.

(People will agree with you. Because the question they ask is: “How is Elon Musk a smaller person than I am?”. They ask that not because they want to understand. But because they think this was somehow some form of personal competition. “If Elon is good I am bad“. Nietzsche said, another persons vanity triggers us only if we feel their vanity to stand in the way of our own. And sometimes, that leads us to see vanity where there might be none. Because what we’re looking at, really, is the mirror.)

You only need to create a temp file for the checksum file, not the downloaded contents. In the below example, no file exists on disk with the contents of `$s`.

> $ s='1<space><space>2'

> $ printf %s\\n "$s" | shasum -a 256 > tmp.sum

> $ printf %s\\n "$s" | shasum --check tmp.sum

> -: OK

So you can just `printf '%s<space><space>-\n' "$c" > tmp.sum` and check with `printf %s\\n "$s" | shasum --check --status tmp.sum || { echo "checksum failed" > &2 ; exit 1 ; }`

Having to create temp files is a wrinkle (could probably avoid it by using process substitution if you want to give up on POSIX sh), but so is writing bash scripts in general.
I was excited about it also, until I looked into it deeper. It is internet service of last resort. I would default to Hughesnet or skyblue first if I didn't have access to DSL, fiber or cable.
