I don't think the policy actually explains its purpose (i.e. why banning these links is necessary), only its application. It discusses the "what", not the "why". This omission is probably also intentional. I don&#x2

Is the policy not from a place of bad intentions? It's clearly a ploy to try to trap users on Twitter, preventing them from promoting their presence on alternative platforms. Is it not vague and poorly worded in a fashion that could gi

I don't think it's a fallacious argument when the terms "prohibited sites" & "prohibited platforms" are used instead of "prohibited promotion" & what they deem to be cross-posting is not defin

>It does make sense for a paid-speech platform, though. What is a "paid-speech platform" exactly? Twitter is just going to be for press releases and advertisers now? It would also be absurd for a node that claims to implement f

"any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above" sounds like doublethink. "Crossposting from prohibited sites is allowed."

by Klinky 4y ago
One could argue a clear definition of "cross posting" should be provided before assuming it'd be allowed. A policy like this is going to have a chilling effect regardless, due to the ambiguity. It's also a quite absurd f

He lied because it's way more noble to be a "champion of free speech" than a champion of hate speech and far-right rhetoric. Much of the base that buys into this rhetoric hates complexity or nuance. "Unrestrained freedom

It's not reasonable for someone claiming free speech absolutism & unbiased moderation. You do make a good point by pointing out Musk could have just built his own social media platform instead of crying about the moderation and blo

Why would anyone believe it was ever about "free speech". You would need to be pretty oblivious to buy that line of reasoning. He will moderate & censor those voices he disagrees with, as he sees fit. It'd just make him l

I think it's realist, not defeatist. More information can be good, but this doesn't mean it brings with it lower costs. It will require significant investment in aggregating & analyzing the data to make it useful. I think it i

OPEC holds huge power over global oil markets, and is not "barely held together". Com'on. Competition colluding or conglomerating is not uncommon. Much of brand competition is actually various arms of the same parent company.

The private insurer is 2x the cost. You don't think people travel outside the US to receive care? Medical tourism is alive and well in the US due to the cost burdens for-profit healthcare requires.

I think your attempts to be profound come off as incredibly naive with regards to the realities of a traumatic upbringing. These relationships impact your whole life. You do not get to choose your parents. Your parents should choose a good

Why wouldn't a free market collude and monopolize to maximize profit? Idealized free markets require perfect information. Most consumers of healthcare are woefully ill informed on healthcare matters. The problem with free markets is su

Do you have years of medical & diagnostic coding experience along with medical training to properly interpret pricing data for a multitude of procedures with wide ranging scenarios? You're not going to Target to buy Cheerios here.

I am not sure you understand how often for-profit insurance just says "no". "despite a six-year span of growing literature and updated policies, nearly 1 in 5 patients diagnosed with FAI would still potentially be denied cove

I've faced long waits for care in the US. I've had my "high quality" for-profit insurance deny coverage or second guess my doctors. Any negative concern you have about Canada's system also exists in the US.

Certain procedures are expensive & complicated regardless. Someone having a heart attack, stroke or severe COVID, would require extensive care. If you're okay letting such patients just die due to lack of funds, then this concept m

Simply put "Couldn't afford the care? Should've shopped around!". It feels like a non-solution solution to access to healthcare. In theory it's great to have transparency, but in reality this is just pushing respons

I don't really think the make or break is from a $100 spread on wellness visits. It's going to be the acute illnesses and injury that you do not have time to plan for that are the killer. Also chronic illness often can be difficul

Relying on the patient to gauge what is fair pricing & what is gouging, then haggle when they get the bill seems like trying to solve the problem from the wrong end. Free marketeers will say a fair price is what someone is willing to pa

I think it would be erroneous to try to apply concepts of micro-level phenomena to macro-level societal events. The levels of abstraction between the two likely turns that low-level ambiguity into background noise. For example, someone coul

I could see the concern, though a car is basically always going to require you to drive around with a potentially lethal amount of energy regardless of the storage medium. Also a battery failure does not mean all energy is released simultan

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but that sounds almost like a calculation that applies to a vacuum, not a pressurized atmosphere with plenty of "free" oxygen? Perhaps that's the same for the TNT & battery, so maybe none of

How are you calculating the volumetric energy density and the energy content of a liter of gasoline? 12kJ/L seems low.

It would still be good to call out the exact processor model, as the lowest end i5-1240P has half the L3 cache as the highest i7-1280P. Also I don't think it was clear you were running "sysctl vm.drop_caches=3" between benchm

I agree, I think there is often a faulty assumption by many developers doing benchmarking that their underlying environment doesn't matter. Often I see performance results posted with little mention of the details of the environment. A

The Samsung PM9A1 is the OEM version of the 980 Pro, a top-tier PCIe 4.0 NVME SSD. What about an older SATA SSD(one without DRAM buffer or HMB), or a 5400RPM hard drive? Also as others have pointed out, random I/O will tank perf, espec
