Feels closer to an SNL skit. Here's the original link to the news story [1]. Clearly this is a problem on the Amazon side, and not the Facebook side. If Amazon design their platform in a way where fake reviews are trivial to write, then they will be written, regardless of whether the groups behind them have communities on Facebook, or Reddit, or wherever else.

FCC Adopts Its First Rules Focused on Scam Texting
I mean, there's stories on the HN frontpage right now about how Lego and John Deere are also violating the GPL. It seems a bit knee-jerky to see this story and start shaking your fist at China in general.
This is why I'm looking forward to a more federated, inter-operable social internet experience in the future. Global conversations are dominated by the loudest among us and inevitably end up floundering in the face of any kind of nuance.

In contrast, if you join a curated group, and you yourself curate the groups you join, a lot of the guards people put up when they hop onto e.g. Twitter can be lowered and people are more interested in engaging in good faith. There is still some work to be done as regards flow of information between federated instances to promote substantive discussion while avoiding filter bubbles, but it's a better start than the simplest kind of flattening of society that is expressed today in Twitter and the like.

"Fair" is inherently subjective because, in a vacuum, everyone has a subjective definition of the word. It can legitimately mean many different things, after all. People will choose the definition they read it as according to their own subjective experiences.

I reacted poorly to the use of the word "fair" here, too, because I didn't see how "fairness" really entered into it. Naturally, you can provide a specific definition of the word to make it objectively measurable, but if you use a word before you've said what your definition is, people are going to use the common definition -- and therefore, it's subjective.

This tendency is not necessarily human. There are enormous numbers of humans disinterested in control of others, or their environment, etc.

Those who want control might suggest otherwise, and they might actually believe it, but that's just lack of creativity (thinking of other possible worldviews) or empathy (realizing that others might see things differently).
Thank you Marius and team. I'm a long time daily user, and I just love what you've built
Youtube has a general problem that angry and hateful and infuriating content is naturally more engaging to the human brain even if you don't believe it. That's why Youtube will still recommend right wing hate content even if you actively watch straight up socialist propaganda. It's just a more effective strategy that any ML or AI recommendation system will inevitability fall to.

It's similar to how casino slots aren't actually any fun because you don't need any fun to trigger a gambling addict, so they are optimized for that outcome rather than optimized for fun. Except it's even worse because nearly everyone is susceptible to the effects of anger inducing content, it's just how our brain works.

FSF lost interest in GPL enforcement years ago.

Might test for some combo of letting you reach files you shouldn't be able to, and other dangerously-configured httpd rules (e.g. open redirects), in such a way that it lets the webserver take care of the whole request while still verifying you could access the file you want with a different request. Might help evade early detection by IDS or something, in very-specific cases, while still permitting probing of the filesystem.

Like, it might let you basically stat the file without reading its contents, if the webserver does things in the following order: 1) Verify that the file, after applying rewrite rules, exists and is readable; else, 404, 2) see the "redirect" query string, short-circuit request and serve a 304 (or what have you) without actually reading the file we already verified exists—never actually make any syscalls to read the file.

... if it's not that, yeah, no clue.

In the first Freakinomics book you learn that they once had found the accounting of a major drug cartel in NYC and the wage distribution from shoofer (?) on the street to the refiller, the dealer, the neighborhood lord, all the way to the top manager… was the same as at McDonald’s.

Feels like none of those laws helped, we’re stuck with a “natural distribution”.
To countercomment:

- Softcore porn (I would not call it porn at all, search online for softcore porn and you get something completely different). You don't have to watch it and I never see it in my feeds, you have to actively search for it to find it. So I'm wondering how you notice it for it to be a problem? Yes; I'm calling you out.

- Ads: youtube has a LOT more ads, and a lot of twitch streamers don't do the ad program. So here too I'm not as convinced it's a problem, I definitely don't see many ads and usually if there are any the streamer is aware and takes a break or something so you don't miss much.
> generative AI will pollute the information environment so completely that society will cease to function effectively.

In a microcosm, this has already occurred. Specifically, Clarkesworld's shutdown due to spam from joint AI + Human spam. There's virtually no reason it won't continue, not when the output of an AI and a human combined has the potential to earn either attention or money for the human.
People also let AI tell them what to watch, see TikTok or similar.

We run a large deployment of services to support millions of daily active users across the 450+ cities that the Citymapper app operates in - all on AWS EKS.
Most of the code of the backend services is written in Python and we have CPP and some Go services or modules as we deal with a lot of CPU and memory intensive workloads (eg routing) as well as high I/O workloads (we are using 1000s of different data sources)

The apps and SDK are written in Kotlin / Swift / React

This is silly cutting off your nose to spite your face.

And for your users too.

It's very rich to claim I'm too emotionally invested (because I'm rationally assessing the situation??) in the topic then go one about the emotional investment (comfort) of the maintainer to justify their view...

That's classic projection.
This feels naive and perfunctory, at best.

I think it would be interesting if users could spend their karma on performing moderator actions, perhaps with some sort of algorithmic exchange rate that converts acquired karma into modcoins.

For example, it might cost 1000 modcoins to pin an article to the top of the page for ten minutes. Or perhaps more of a bold change: 2000 modcoins to make the text of your comment glow with a golden hue to make it more noticeable. 5000 modcoins to display an image of Paul Graham at the top of the thread, smiling beatifically at all the comments below Him. And so on.

This would of course be of no interest to users such as myself who habitually generate throwaway accounts and discard them, but I would be curious to see how high karma users would use such a feature.
Why should we label a voluntary transaction as immoral so long as no third party harm is done? Seems that this is similar to adoption but with proceeds benefiting parents.

I start with anyone building with my company's OSS tools or contributing to them in a meaningful way. I also look at anyone working on libraries or OSS software that we're using in our projects.

Beyond that I scout for people who launch projects from scratch (large or small) as it's a great way to see how people solve problems and how good their product sense is. Sometimes I'll just browse through the top charts on GH in the language we're using. Between GH, Twitter, HN and Reddit I see dozens of projects a day (more than I have time to investigate).

One nice thing about doing this is it tends to snowball. Once you hire a high profile maintainer or several OSS enthusiasts, it makes it much easier to hire more. OSS developers will typically be skeptical of "business people", so it's best to either have an OSS presence as a manager or reach out through another OSS dev.

I also stress that people can keep working on OSS in their free time (and keep ownership over their personal code). I go into the first meeting prepared to offer the person a job and also offer them the opportunity to interview anyone else at the company they may want to talk to.

The results have been very positive, even if they don't take the job. They're usually flattered that you've done the research on their work and value it enough to offer them a job sight unseen. I would estimate that I have ~75% acceptance rate.
> What they are doing is morally repugnant regardless of legality.

Not honoring the GPL very, very far down the list of moral wrongs, and certainly isn't in the "morally repugnant" category.
If that’s all they were, then we would have never seen companies create broad non competes that deprive a person of their livelihood.

I agree that’s one purpose, but I think another is to penalize the employee for leaving, discouraging them from doing so… and as a result increasing retention and/or reducing the pressure on the company to deliver increased benefits and wages in the future.

> Fair point, but the host can only reliable pick an empty box if he knows which boxes are empty

You're ignoring the difference by posing a non mathematical objection to the statement of the problem. This is like having a physics problem about frictionless spherical cows and objecting that cows aren't really frictionless and spherical, and giving an answer for a different problem. Sure you might come up with a valid answer for your different problem, but it isn't a valid answer for your original problem. Likewise 1/2 is a valid answer to the invalidated trials version of the problem here, but not a valid answer to the problem as stated, which remains 2/3.
The ads can be interesting they tell me about the culture of the local tv channel city. There are many behind the scene messages and things you pick up on. Understanding who is advertising can tell you who the show is written for or why they made certain choices and that can change as a show evolves.

You get cultural references more memorable than the shows they prop up. Where's the beef still rings strong, wwwhat's up is a universal greeting.

Advertising can bring feelings of connectiveness to people. A familiar verizon song at Christmas makes life a little bit less sad for a solider in the battle field or a parent who is spending Christmas alone.

Advertising in many ways is more dynamic, interesting and long lasting compared to the shows they put on. Watching shows without them hollows out the experience.

The GPL has been validated in court many times by now. That doesn't mean they'll win this case but there's a significant amount of precedent protecting it at this point.

Loom might provide similar features if needed.
The "Shake It Off" case seems like it involves lyrical content, which had always been a primary concern of music copyright, even before "Blurred Lines". The "Thinking Out Loud" case seems to involve similar issues to the "Blurred Lines" case, but was filed long after[1]:

> While the Gaye family is not involved in the “Thinking Out Loud” lawsuits against Sheeran, the precedent set in their case looms over all new copyright infringement claims. Notably, the court took into account not just sheet music but studio arrangement too and ruled that “Blurred Lines” significantly aped the vibe of “Got to Give It Up,” something that had previously been beyond copyright protection.

/etc/shadow is a file containing system account info that should never be accessible to the public on a properly-configured webserver.

The comments and community feeling in Youtube streaming sucks. Ludwig who made the switch a year ago from Twitch to Youtube said that was his biggest nuisance with Youtube, and I agree. I stopped watching him because of it since there's more fun to be had on Twitch.

Twitch is more like a bunch of monkeys which is fun and builds hype. Youtube is too serious and the chat is too slow for the streamer to properly interact with.
