Not being ruled by unelected bureaucrats is well worth it.

Apple has presence in EU (and elsewhere) which exposes them to the whims of local governments. Without local offices, employees, subsidiaries and a product to sell Twitter can ignore all other countries and their laws.

1/ Twitter is a US company. It needs to follow US laws and it can ignore laws of all countries that are not the USA. Why should a US company dance to the tune of foreign governments anyway? Not to mention that those requirements may be mutually exclusive or contradictory.

2/ Twitter, not being a publisher, is not responsible for user-generated content. Just like Verizon is not responsible for what people say on the phone to each other. Advertisers should have some controls over what content their ads display next to. Giving controls to users and advertisers is the key, not heavy moderation.

3/ once again, controls. Twitter already has an option to show (in feed) only tweets from the people you follow and their connections, that's a good start and I see no spam at all.

"Block things that are illegal by law and leave the rest" is hilariously easy but must be accompanied by tools that allow users and advertisers to tailor their own experience.

Level 3 and beyond are nonsense. Just give users the tools to moderate what they see. Don't want to see slurs? Here's a toggle for that. No need to censor those who say them. Memes fall under Fair Use, nothing needs to be taken down. Government of Malaysia can start their own Twitter. $TWTR needs to follow US laws, not laws of Malaysia.

Here is a radical content moderation policy: Block/take down things that are illegal by law and leave the rest.

Why is it so hard?

has to do with big tech algorithms running unchecked and prone to abuse

The explanation is a load of BS. This "brief disappearance" has been going on for >12 hours now and as far as everybody is aware only one person is affected by this.

It would be an incredible coincidence that it's just him and right at this time. Also, from Google's support thread, he is receiving the same treatment as Weinstein, apparently Churchill was added to a list of people for whom Google won't show photo in the bio summary, next to Weinstein.

What a coincidence that such alleged bug exists for this particular person at this particular time. A virtue-signaling google employee blocking the photo in support of BLM is the simplest and most likely explanation.

Not erase, just add it to the already long list of suppressed and filtered content. Have you tried what I suggested, have you googled the names of few PMs? The page with search results for Churchill lacks the code to display photo in the bio at the right side. The layout and code is different, it's not just failing to load, cache problem or whatever.

The most likely explanation is that a google employee added the photo on a block list in support of BLM.

This is no bug, this is intentional. Google the names of UK's PMs, from Johnson, May, Cameron going all the way. Only one PM does not get their photo displayed on the page with search results. Not because it failed to load/whatever, the page layout simply does not contain the photo in the place where it is for all others.

Interesting. I've never considered Perl's name to be its biggest problem. The readability is and renaming the language does not address that.

It's to show your friends and colleagues, it has no practical purpose given the conditions and requirements for the use of the feature.

Yes, it's very common to only allow corporate laptops provisioned with a standard image, certificates etc. If you need to remote in then you must have a corporate laptop.

From a security standpoint it is risky and amateurish to allow VPN from an unknown device under someone else's management.

And you are right.

They make it up with their level of electronics, sensors, software, battery technology etc.

basic system tools: less, htop, screen, tcpdump, python3

dev work: vim, git, build-essential

rpi specific: pi-hole, Shairport

The last peak and ATH is $20k; $25k is too low, the next peak might be $50k.

Wow that is fantastic. I can't wait for my break down, I mean Klein Bottle.

Babysitting Autopilot that can unpredictably steer me into a concrete barrier would be more demanding than driving a car that is more predictable.

You have misunderstood libertarianism, just because it wants to see small to none state does not mean it would support UBI or other forms of socialism.

I argue that my or anyone else's right to choose and decide whether we want this feature in our cars is more important than lives saved by making this technology mandatory in all new cars sold.

Everyone who has watched an episode of CSI: Anywhere knows this about mobile phones. While you can turn off the phone or leave it behind easily, the same cannot be done with a module built into the car.

Step by step towards 1984.

This should be optional, not mandatory technology for new cars. I don't want a cellular module that reports its location in any of my cars, new or old, so why is this being forced through?

The argument of improved safety is a poor one. You could use the same argument to make 8 air bags mandatory minimum, demand that only 5-star rated cars can be sold, that cars have ejection seats, tow a mobile clinic with a doctor and a nurse, or about a million other things that would objectively improve car safety but also make cars further unavailable to many people.

And this will get misused too. Today it may send location after a collision; tomorrow's firmware update can easily change that. And once users have the hardware, software features will follow.

I understand 8chan is like 4chan but with less regulation and more controversy... Why is it registered or operated from the US, instead of, say a company in Tuvalu that rents servers from a company in Pakistan, but the encryption keys are with the company that manages the servers, from South Sudan?

Nobody was forced into taking a large loan to get a worthless degree that is useless in the job market. Be glad for these people, may their mistakes and poor judgement serve as an example so that others and their kids do not make the same ill-informed decisions.

I have a very simple explanation - geography and climate. The north has cold winters, if one does not work hard they will freeze and starve. Hard work is embedded in the region for generations. In the south you won't freeze in winter, so you don't need to prepare fuel in summer, life has been slower and does not demand as much of hard work to survive. The summer heat in the south also inhibits the activity somewhat, and north may have a tad easier access to trade... I believe these two factors - geography and climate - have a prevalent influence on the development of all societies anywhere in the world.

... ... can you hear it? That is the sound of billions of EUR leaving Italy. When will they learn?

The same could be argued to ensure that absolutely any key competency remains in Europe - nuclear reactor design, pharmaceutics design, car design, aircraft design, trains design, or whatever; but none of it should justify the creation of EU projects in any of these fields.

The EU is turning full SSSR, now with custom microprocessors. This effort will be inherently ineffective and produce worse results than what the market could offer. Tax payers' money should not be spent on projects like this.

I have seen IT being unaware of and unwilling to meet requirements of highly specialized technical teams, such as network engineering. You cannot have a TELNET client because the use of TELNET is prohibited by corporate policy, test TCP connections another way. You don't need vim when you have vi. You can't have admin rights but we don't support drivers for RS232 dongle so nope. Sometimes it's quite a challenge to get some work done.
