Just how expansive a concept are your advocating? If you're only saying that aside from not throwing you in jail, government shouldn't coerce (or even incentivize) private parties to censor in ways the government would be prohibit

What is this concept/principle you're advocating? That all expression should be allowed everywhere always and nobody should ever censor anyone else?

Sure. My point is that when you consider the range of such possible mechanisms, no matter where you draw the line between permissible and impermissible, we're still talking about what it's okay for the state (not private entities)

I read "cathedral" as being exclusive of the state. Reading it as inclusive confuses me even more, I think. If the state outsourcing censorship, then the state alone is culpable. I think we can have some legitimate and interesting

I'm curious when that happened. I hear people say it all the time. But I'm old enough to have grown up before the commercial internet, and I don't remember there being any widespread conception of "free speech" apar

There are a number of utilities to improve window management on MacOS. I find rectangle[0] works reliably, without trying to do too much. Easy keyboard shortcuts to maximize, snap to 50% left/right, or quadrants. [0]: https:/&#x2

I sold GME for a tidy profit on RH while buying was disallowed. Not hypothetically; I really did. Are you saying RH should have forced me to hodl? How would that have been a better customer experience?

Careful with the shopping mall analogy. Someone will inevitably bring up Pruneyard[0] and derail things. I think "a bar" is probably the best analogy out there. There might only be one in town. It's open to the (adult) public

Weird. On a computer, `"kitchenboss" "g320" "disassembly"` returns exactly six results, all of which appear to include the quoted terms. Plus the "It looks like there aren't many great matches for you

Unless it's changed in the past 56 minutes, the SERP is pretty up-front that it can't find any pages with all three of those. It literally says `No results found for "kitchen boss" "g320" "disassembly&quot

Absent any current requirements for computational throughput, I think "future-proofing" with Go is likely premature optimization. You know Python well, it's a capable and widely-used language and platform. You can almost cert

What strict-liability statute are you referring to?

Perhaps so they can report you the credit rating agencies if you go into arrears. If that's the case, it would be an incremental improvement if the credit agencies implemented some tokenization scheme, sort of like credit card gateways

I'm not sure I understand your taxonomy. In my mind, an image board is a type of forum (generally anonymous and ephemeral). Reddit is more like a forum than a typical forum than popular imageboards, since users have long-lived identiti

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I wasn't complaining that VAERS was a bad source of data. I was pointing out that your post is hard to distinguish from the large body of bad posts that misinterpret those data because their authors fundame

Discrimination is largely legal. You absolutely can discriminate on any characteristic you like, with several well defined exceptions (such as race or sex).

by timdev2 5y ago
If you're going to use VAERS data to support your argument, you really must take extra care to demonstrate that you understand what those data actually are, and explain why your conclusions should be taken seriously. Otherwise, you ris

I think option 2 is a non-starter. If you're going have newspaper-like liability, I don't think anyone can afford to do that. That leaves option 1. I suppose such a thing could exist, but it would be very different from social med

by timdev2 5y ago
Doesn't that basically round to "outlaw social media"?
51.
by timdev2 5y ago
Sure. That's problematic. But that's no excuse to not place blame where it should rightfully be laid, and instead place it elsewhere just because doing so is easier. There are rights at stake here.

As other have pointed out, you're describing protected classes. If you're advocating that political viewpoint should be a protected class, that's fine. It's worth noting, though, that while I'm not allowed to ban Mu

The first amendment constrains the government. A social media site censoring your post does not infringe on your first amendment rights. It limits your speech, but the 1A protects your right to be free of government interference with your

This has worked very well for me, too. I suppose it might start to break down if you're using some of the more complex AWS-specific offerings. But if your function more or less resembles a little web app that maybe talks to S3 and Dyna

Right. And you can use something like terraform-inventory[0] as a dynamic inventory source in Ansible. So TF manages all the bits and bobs floating around in AWS, and then ansible takes over to manage configuration on whatever EC2 instances

The practical reason it wasn't overturned is that it wasn't appealed (IIRC, they reached a settlement). Had there been an appeal, it's possible the court would have recognized that exercising some editorial control over third

Okay. But when Twitter or whoever takes your post down, how does treating them "as a publisher" help you? It doesn't. They have a 1st Amendment right to do that.
