So it seems people don’t say in public what they really think? Would that explain why we have very different votes during democratic elections compared to what media wants?

You only asked for one, but there’s multitudes, for those who seek in good faith!

ROHS restrictions on leaded solder; vacuum cleaner wattage limitations; and EU/IFRA restrictions on perfumery ingredients (oakmoss, et al.), resulting in perfumiers declaring the art of perfumery “dead”, in the EU - are just a few that spring to mind, immediately.
There needs to be some form of sybil resistance, perhaps allowing unlimited post size, but charging 1 cent per character. Spam needs to be expensive.

The users should be allowed to decide for themselves what they see. My perspective is that hate speech is basically an identical problem to spam. If you can solve spam, you solve hate speech and self-advertisements and whole other classes of problem.

Also, it's a social media platform. You basically dox yourself. The current service requires you to give them your phone number and encourages you to use your real name and location on your profile. It doesn't get much worse than that.

I agree, but these mechanics are not a law of nature, and can be changed.

Whether Musk will actually do that: dunno. But I don't think it's inconceivable that Twitter could become something much better than it is today.

My indignation is high, beyond that I have zip to say.

JK. Good on Elon.

In my opinion a good centralized twitter government is impossible. The only path to goodness that I can see is to empower the individual twitterers with a box of tools for filtering their own personal twitterscape. Beyond that leave twitter 100% freespeechy. But then that's my default opinion for all social media.
I think a lot of people in the United States do not fully understand the Crimea thing and Ukraine's stance on the area (before the conflict). I don't have an opinion on the matter other than to say it is probably worth learning more about Crimea and its history before jumping to conclusions.

I actually work in finance reporting, as a data engineer, at FAANG.

Interesting that you think the entire data team is double & triple redundant.

It's almost as if you're the one lacking knowledge.

Speaking as someone who previously worked at a company blatantly committing fraud, the CEO hand-picking the entire data team was instrumental to said fraud.

Maybe that's just my past causing the suspicion. If he laid off 75% of the data team, I'd be less skeptical. Maybe he thinks they're double and triple redundant, as you say. 100% is extremely suspect, though.

As someone who runs Tesla, which has a large data eng team, he knows the entire team isn't useless.

Much further down, the article clarifies that to "third cousin": "reporters learned that Lewis had married his third cousin, Myra Gale Brown, the daughter of his bass player."

Third cousin marriage is a) legal and b) not genetically risky.

So the 13yo part is the dodgy part.

What happened to web 4?
Fox news, and other right-wing outlets, are the only ones who will report truthful negative stories on media companies or politicians that are Democratic party aligned. The centrists closed ranks as a result of what they consider the twinned media failures of Corbyn and Trump. They simply agree as a group not to report on things that are potentially damaging to Democratic centrist candidates or agendas, because they feel that truthful reporting is what sank H. Clinton.

Any of them will explain to you how reporting the facts created a false sense of equivalence between Clinton and Trump for voters. Voters couldn't understand how Trump bragging to a frat boy reporter that he could just grab pussy, his using a nonprofit as a vehicle to dodge taxes on a painting, and his denial that McCain was the best hero were far worse than the 1994 Crime Bill, superpredators, Clinton Foundation associations with dictators, the Iraq War, Russian uranium, Haiti, and Honduras.

>>. During that period, while only 7.7% of the Democratic users were suspended, 35.6% of the Republican users were suspended. The Republican users, however, shared substantially more news from misinformation sites –

The key flaw here was "misinformation" at that time included what is now considered "fact" about COVID Policies, and "science", including mask effectiveness, vaccine effectiveness, Lab leak theory, and a whole host of other things that were "misinformation" in 2020 but not in 2022. that is the entire problem with the "misinformation" narrative

Science after all is not "experts telling us what to think" but instead is in reality it the act of continual questioning of established narrative

Shutting down debate for "misinformation" is itself anti-science

It only matters when you're trying to determine if Musk or someone else at Twitter actually un-banned or un-twitter-jailed someone. If the account was merely restricted then it's possible the account owner themselves did whatever is required to un-restrict their own account (i.e., deleted some offending tweet).
I don't get the logic. Just because older women have experienced discrimination it doesn't mean that older trans women should too. I'm sure Levine had her fair share of obstacles too, but it shouldn't be up to some oppression olympics to decide who deserves what and when.

This seems like paranoid thinking. The Supreme Court has shifted ideologically to the right, but I haven’t seen any evidence they are part of a conspiracy to end democracy.
IMO he won't do anything to improve the Twitter experience until he allows a number of high-profile banned persons back on, which will cause mass account deletions, and Twitter will become a functional Truth Social within weeks.
I got a 7 day ban for a tweet that included “political suicide pact” as an idiom.

I then got permanently banned for including the line, “sending their children to die in Ukraine” in a tweet.

The “appeal” button causes me to get a denied email within one minute. This tells me no humans are in the loop on any of this.

I don’t think these tweets were controversial or require any diversity of viewpoints. They just require appreciation that you cannot automatically moderate anything accurately unless you are prepared to be very very VERY relaxed about the rules.

I’m not sure Elon is even interested in fixing this kind of problem. He seems focused on the politics and “cancel culture” type issues (whether they’re real or imagined).
Pixel 7, the first 64-bit-only Android phone
I honestly don’t think it matters. The committee will answer to one person who can arbitrarily overrule the committee, whether formally or not.

It’s his company and he can do what he wants with it. Any rules can be changed at any time without recourse.

I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Well, it might be bad for Twitter the service, but as far as legal governance, it’s the way it works. The only limit will really be what advertisers will support. It is a business after all.

But any type of council should be considered advisory at best.

I too enjoy commuting to work using my city's hyperloop while charging my self-driving cybertruck with my solar roof.

An objective assessment of Musk's batting average requires considering the big ideas that flop, never materialize, or fall far short of what was promised. Once you do that, Twitter seems like it could go either way from here. That's not even considering how split his attention must be at this point.
Maybe something funded by public, yes.

I think there is a need for smaller existing community-based social networks. They can be paid for by certain people or crowdfunded once in a while like Wikipedia.

That is fucking terrifying and most centrality undesirable, unless you mean equality of opportunity, then absolutely. But equality of outcome is the worst possible thing anyone could ever strive for.
I suppose it matters whether you consider inflation a cause or an effect?
> would also just change the hash listed too

In my project I "host" the hash on a different medium, so in order to compromise the file download the attacker would have to compromise both the file hosting server and the hash hosting medium (which in my case is GitHub).

I also don't really display the hashes, as the download only happens when the script is updated, so your current version of the script will check the hash on GitHub vs the hash of the file download from the file hosting server.

EDIT: To be clear, this doesn't solve the problem with the initial install and it is also not related to the Checksum.sh script.
What is IR here?

My understanding is that normally the banks would have sold this debt long before the deal closed. However due to Elon's putting the deal "on hold" and what followed, the bank wasn't able to do the usual road show to sell the debt to investors. The banks are on the hooks for this now. And while they will likely be able to package and sell it still, they will be doing so in a much different environment than back in April when Elon made the offer to buy the company.
Hong Kong Plans to Legalize Retail Crypto Trading to Become Hub
The difficulty is that some of these objectives conflict with each other. Backing off on moderation is likely to drive advertisers away; bringing back banned people could in some cases cause legal problems in countries where publishing, say, pro-Nazi speech is against the law. Making major changes will require more people, but stopping the financial bleeding will require fewer people.
It's very strange to me he intends to un-ban Trump when he gave up trying to work with him on that advisory council thing early in Trump's presidency.

I guess he meant the shift from government office offline visits to full digitalization. At the moment a lot of common operations and documents (e.g. register the company) in Ukraine can be done exclusively using the Internet, and if you try to visit a government office they will send you back to fill the forms via the website.
>> There's no attempt to create a single, wide-ranging social media platform, with payments, video, shorts, DMs, and more

Umm.. Facebook? Just offering all those features doesn't mean much though, you really have to be dominant in each one, since there's much less moat to debundling consumer apps vs enterprise
Twitter has become the de facto standard, so IMHO moderation should only ask one question: "is this tweet legal?" If the answer is 'yes' then it should be allowed.

Of course, a corollary is that they should be able to filter content on a per country basis because, obviously, what's legal differs from country to country, but I think there is no escaping that for any platforms which claim to be global.
Because it's required to use the product, right? Like, if you have a phone, and you can buy a lightning version or a quarter-inch audio version, sure, yes let the free market win. Nope... they removed the audio jack (against large public outcry).

This isn't about lightning being better, because we were never offered a choice. Lightning being the only option when there is a clear market for alternatives is the obvious tell for rent seeking.

> He said exactly why he bought Twitter.

Yeah. There are too many bots and therefore he doesn't want to buy Twitter. In fact, Twitter is lying about their bot numbers, so please Mrs. Judge, don't force me to buy Twitter. Its such a bad value no one should buy it at $44 Billion.

Also, I don't wanna do the deposition Mrs. Judge, I'll go through with the $44 Billion transaction. Also, I wanna buy Twitter now and its going to be amazing and called "X", the everything company. Please get Twitter's lawyers off of me and don't drag me through this trial anymore.
Admittedly this is likely the main reason GPG isn't more common place because of the complexity.

This is the overview:

Developer generates a private/public key they use for all of their projects.

You import their public key once - you can verify this from their github, twitter, etc but that's optional.

They can sign a file with their key. You can check this signature against their public key. This will guarantee the file was signed by using that key and is unmodified.

If someone hijacks the website after this point and signs the new downloads with their own key - then you will be able to see it's invalid.

If you manually verify the key then you'll know your initial download is valid - if you trust on first use then you at least know all future files signed from that developer with that cert are valid.

They also are effectively a hash for file integrity.

tl;dr - hashes tell you if a file is changed. Signatures tell you if the file is changed, and who the person that made the file is.
This is such a confused and misleading article but that is pretty much par for reason
- That is not a kitchen sink

- Twitter is a telegraph office. Journalists love twitter because it makes their job easier by stealing stories/news from each other. For the world outside media twitter is pretty much meh.

- Musk unbanning someone doesnt mean much. trump might have sent out tweets with carrier pigeons and the mass media would still pick it up because it sells. twitter bans have very little effect, from the covid misinformation to ukraine stuff

- Twitter is not even cool , why is musk so obsessed about it? he will be spending a ton of time in media battles that are pointless , truly

It's just a media-friendly way to call people who believe that money doesn't stink, and that to each what he deserves. Which is true for most “successful” corporate functionaries whose exuberance naturally depends on that same tight control over user devices.

> I believe Babylon Bee should've been suspended not because of any moral issue but because Twitter was not a governmental entity

You believe they should have been suspended because they could have been? What gibberish.

This is very much a moral issue. The fact that Twitter isn't a governmental entity is irrelevant. They have a huge platform with a corresponding influence on our culture and debate. Everyone accepts this or we wouldn't have just watched three years of arguments about COVID misinformation.
I must say the exact opposite.
Hash essentially proves that the file you downloaded is the same as the file that was uploaded. It tells you nothing about Who uploaded the file. An attacker could make you download their own file, but then the hash of the file won't match what's published (unless the attacker changes the published hash).

A GPG sig proves that the file was signed & uploaded by the author, which defacto doubles as proof that it's the same file. The idea here is that the author uploads their public key, signs the package with their private key, and now there's an association between the package and the author. An attacker would have to obtain the author's private key, or replace the public key with their own. Changing the public key, however, is a big red flag.
hrmm has this been tested? I read the article and it seems to suggest that there is in fact no case law on this, not that it has been proven legal.

I always thought scenario was: If you ran into a theater as a prank and yelled fire and two people got trampled on the way out, your first amendment rights wouldn't protect you if their families sued.

Given the ubiquity it seems like a judge would say that this person wasn't protected.

A search engine that's just Wikipedia and Reuters sounds like the most boring website on the planet. Sometimes people don't want "just the facts," all the time. Sometimes they just want to have fun. And obviously "metaverse" won't yield many results in a 90s-style-website search engine.

As whimsicalism makes clear: that's not what he meant. He really did mean that the median quality of Twitter engineer would be higher than Tesla's.

I am indeed in Pakistan, and the point I am trying to make is, why not? "Diverse" council, right? My region comprises of a BILLIONS people, and twitter is a global website, why do you expect Twitter to ban hate speech acc to what average American internet person wants, but not acc to rules of other countries?

Remember, I am not talking merely about legally limited speech, I am talking about stuff that causes societal discomfort.

If it's a "diverse" council, then there are bound to be people from this part of the world. And if they give, with a straight face, the examples you see in the funzies link as example of hate speech they would like to be moderated....

How would you feel, if your tweet was blocked, and the reason given is something you, and any body from your part of the world, would personally consider to be as offense as not ending your sentence with a fullstop would be to a grammar nazi...but to the council it was considered as offensive as perhaps saying the N-word?

I am talking from a purely academic point of view, but you have to realise the scope of these matters. Pakistan might not be able to affect Twitter moderation, but India? definitely, too big a market to ignore. The Gulf Countries are already investors alongside Musk, so them too. EU has already given the halt signal.
Derision is the minimum-investment method for participating in a conversation. You expend a speck of opinion, you get a speck of attention. I guess the numbers work out better than "just ignore".
> to ignore the reality of groups of people frequently targeted is silly.

He clearly isn’t.
I like your idea of charging 1 or 2 cents per character.

I forgot that Twitter already requires a phone number for registration. My phone number is not public, but I definitely use my real name, put my location, and try to send people to my web site by posting that link.
IMHO connectivity to the global internet is less important than local communication between protesters in geographic proximity.
