My preferred operationalization of free speech is "minimum intimidation".

Slurs don't qualify for protection under this operationalization, because they intimidate the listener without providing any information content.

Same goes for protesting a talk so loudly that the speaker is drowned out, or doxxing.

If your speech serves only to intimidate others into silence, I don't think it should be protected.

Curious to hear everyone's objections to this high-level approach. (Note: I would want to add a bunch of clarifying details before making this Twitter's official policy, but it seems more interesting to provide those details in response to objections, instead of writing a long boring comment.)

Maybe someone thought it would be nice if SBF spent xmas in a Bahamian prison.

He claims he cares about the people of the Bahamas. The fact that his father is a tax law professor and the country where they located is a tax haven is pure coincidence, of course. When he was handing out donations in his fake "effective altruism" campaign to ensure he and other crypto crooks could keep breaking the law for profit without being seriously regulated, he may have forgotten about all the people in Bahamaian prisons who also believe they need to break the law for profit. This is a great chance to bond with them during the holiday season.

The quality of the prison conditions should be commensurate with the amount of taxes paid to the Crown. It is a nice lesson in "utilitarianism".

>while with most people nobody cares about them

It only takes one lunatic to care about "nobody" and you can have a fatal outcome. The criminal registry is filled with lunatics such as domestic violence perpetrators or stalkers that found out personal information about a nobody and acted violently on it.

You might be star stuck and a deep believer of Elon the new Saint, but the original comment is pointing out the hypocrisy and danger of one person deciding on whose information we can spread based on augmenting it in the framework of "free speech"; but then essentially boggling it down to naive notion like you stated:

"nobodies" - who cares about them? It's about popularity and favoritism (free speech is the rhetoric)

I assume they are referring to the blocklist described here:
https://www.faa.gov/pilots/ladd

> ADS-B Out transmits flight data directly from the aircraft to internet vendors not participating in the LADD program. Non-participating internet vendors collect and post all ADS-B Out flight data on the internet. To address ADS-B Out privacy concerns, the FAA has initiated the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program to improve the privacy of eligible aircraft.

ADSBExchange does not participate in the program that the blocklist is part of. They even cover this on their homepage

https://www.adsbexchange.com/

> First and foremost ADS-B Exchange does not participate in the filtering performed by most other flight tracking websites which do not share data on military or certain private aircraft. Because ADS-B Exchange does not use any FAA data there are no FAA BARR/LADD, military, or other “filters” preventing you from seeing the the data you collected. ADS-B Exchange simply does not accept payment or requests to remove aircraft from public tracking!
If the only feature "smart" thermostats had was that I could adjust the temperature with my phone from bed I would consider it money well spent.
I agree he really doesn't like the largely left leaning media. So we're aligned on that. But his fundamental opposition to unions is different. I don't see the US news as pro-union, its not about the press. Its really down to his own core views.

I found south parks 'smelling their own farts' thing about Cali. prius drivers pretty funny, but that said, I'd rather there were Californians driving EV than not. Its kind of a dual-edged sword. So he hates the PC side of things but he's selling the drugs which feeds them (so to speak) -a rather strange state of affairs.

The burning Coal mob are going to have a cow over the Tesla big rig. I expect more than a few to have truck-nuts, and confederate flags and gun-racks on them.

I'll come back to the 'shift both sides' thing. I cant prove it, so its just opinion. But my gut feel is there has been some leftward tilt in the media overall, fox excluded, if we limit ourselves to news media ex-print, and we exclude the moonies investment, and maybe Bezos.. yea. Its there. But its like 10:1 the rightward/leftward shifts. So its polarized, its not a symmetric movement. The middle being assumed (which btw is a stretch because its divisive if there even IS a middle) then the press moved a bit left and the GOP and the Randean IT dotcom billionaires (Theil..) moved a very very long way right.

Sure, a biassed comment. But it is what I think.

Both D and R do gerrymandered stupid tricks on electoral zones. I don't think they do it equally either. I don't think as many D governors want to replace the electoral college movement with faithless voters they appoint. I could go on, but my underlying point is that there is a core of what the constitution is and means, and there are the things which undermine it, and "both sides" assumes equally both sides: I just don't think its true.

"defund the police" is a very stupid rallying cry. Sure. its a reaction to "blue flag" rightward behaviour in the cops but its alienating the middle ground which leftists need to secure as voters to win. Likewise the independent portland thing. It was fun. Its not helpful to securing national votes to run the country. Actions have consequences and if you believe in burn it down or destroy the joint, left-right is both burning and destroyed at that point. So a lot of comment here assumes maintenance of some perceived status quo politically around voting and state/federal boundaries and the role of taxation.

Historically the D were dirty as. Tammany hall, the carpetbaggers, people forget that was often the D side of things. the R side is not the party of Lincoln right now.

>its use in various "ed tech" websites to detect alleged cheating[1] is frightening, to say the least

why is this frightening? proctoring software has long been used and is much more invasive than this, and the alternative is to simply not allow students to use their own devices, or even to take tests remotely - when i was in school the alternative to this sort of software was an exam proctor sitting behind you and watching your every move to make sure you didn't cheat. i get that outside of this sort of context it's bad, but that doesn't make it bad in the contexts where it actually is appropriate.
Agreed, the lesson from this for most Elon defenders is probably stick to your values and don't blindly defend celebrities.

The lesson for others to not be hysterical and look at the bigger picture of the net gain of reducing censorship (and the fact Twitter was already an ideological disaster that can either only get better from here.... or die - win/win) is probably going to hit a brick wall.

They have their own ideological battles to pick. And Elon handed it to them wrapped in a bow. So they might as well take the victory lap.
How often do you change your thermostat? On its own that statistic means about 3% of Americans have bought one, which, when you consider that it's more expensive than the traditional kind, you only really need one thermostat per household (maybe two or three if your house is extra fancy and has multiple zones), only a homeowner would consider the purchase, and thermostats are exceptionally long-lived devices that rarely actually need to be replaced, that's pretty good.
I think that's not a bad summary, though? Perhaps you would say it is a probabilistic next-token chooser, but that just seems like a very minor distinction.

if applications are using it for non-nefarious reasons, the fallback behaviour for people like you who block it is to use more of your bandwidth or battery power to render non-visible elements. it's an optimization for most people, so it's still worth implementing even if some clients block the API.

>people teaching/learning about systemic racism ('CRT')

This is less of a free speech issue, and more of a "what should government employees be paid to do" issue.

It's the difference between a gutter punk wearing a swastika, and a cop on duty wearing a swastika. The constitution prohibits the government from making a law regarding the gutter punk. But while the cop is on duty, they're an employee of the state, and it's perfectly reasonable for voters to say "we don't want to pay government employees to do that".

Always thought the old mechanical bimetallic strip solution was particularly elegant.

In effect, two strips of metal were bonded together forming a coiled "spring." Because each metal had different coefficient of thermal expansion, the spring would expand or contract to different lengths depending on the temperature. Place the electrical contact at the temp where the heater or HVAC should turn on & bam.

No electronics at all, just a temperature-dependent mechanical switch.

> If the Soyuz is leaking coolant, are these going to be little high-velocity ice balls?

They'll boil or sublimate in sunlight, and while they'd notionally condense in the earth's shadow their molecules will be too spread out for that to matter. So any ice balls will last for at most half an orbit, which I think is less than an hour at that altitude.

Velocity is relative; they'd be high-velocity relative to anything going straight up through that orbit, or in a retrograde orbit, but they're low-velocity compared to the ISS or anything coming up to meet it.

> Tangentially related question: How dangerous are high-velocity gas clouds? Like, say rocket exhaust? Is that a thing, or does it always disperse quickly enough to to be a non-issue?

They'll dissipate very quickly, space is at zero pressure.

With all the 'power and influence', the 'elites' of Eastern Bloc did not live so much more in luxury compared to their own people.

The catch is, all the citizens in the Eastern Bloc systems got their houses, cars, guaranteed jobs, education, healthcare, childcare, paid vacations, paid maternity leave, retirement and all that stuff.

They were very surprised when they changed to capitalism and learned that none of those were guaranteed under capitalism. Now they have so much freedom.
