Reasonable and well-put. I think we agree except in semantics--I see being for traditional forum-type policing as still pro-censorship on some level, and the debate as on finding what level is acceptable (e.g. more nuanced than "less&q

Okay, what are some examples of functioning sites or services that work with no moderation?

? HN is heavily moderated. Try turning on showdead in your profile and reading the trash that dang and co. delete from here. I doubt you'll come away with the conclusion that it should all be left up. This includes things like removing

I'm not sure what your point is here. If everything notable on the internet is moderated, it's functionally equivalent. I don't support what Apple is doing or the increased heavy-handedness of recent years, but advocating no

Since everyone and their mother got access to it, the internet needs censorship to function. Imagine HN, the App Store, any Discord server or subreddit, or any forum ever with no moderation. They'd be dysfunctional to the point of bein

I can see this in the case of the PC and the laptop, but proto-smartphones were around for years before the iPhone and they were not developing in an iPhone-like direction. Every iPhone-like product that came after was the result of copying

I haven't tried it myself, but forums indicate you can get PTZ Foscams to work with Shinobi and other Linux-supporting OSS camera programs. They're <$100 on eBay depending on model.

While not addressing the problem directly, school desegregation efforts usually also spread socioeconomic classes more evenly. Poorly performing schools almost always have poorer students, and bringing in more well off parents allows for th

If you want longer exposures than your lowest ISO can handle you can also use neutral density filters, which go over the lens and reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral-dens

Dodd-Frank has been fairly successful, but the rest of those are emblematic of the window dressing approach. The ACA is incredibly complex, widely variable in implementation, and didn't actually help healthcare costs. Repealing Don&#x2

I don't know anything about NX, but VNC is terribly slow and outdated. Pretty much anything else will be faster.

How do you reconcile your idea that Islamic banking systems will lead to no inflation with the inflation rates of countries that have large Islamic banks, which are much higher than the US?

Could you expand on "much worse?" Are they slower, are they harder to implement?

Mostly Windows and Android. Although both audio pipelines aren't great I don't think it's a platform problem--I've never seen a measurement of even 100ms lag with Bluetooth (excluding aptX-LL) and it's usually in th

I don't understand how Bluetooth has made it this far for phone calls. It has two modes: unintelligible quality and bad latency, or decent quality and ludicrous latency. The entire standard is an advertisement for Airpods.

Even the default Windows audio device "listen to yourself" option has some serious latency.

It's worth noting that Pale Moon, Waterfox, and Ghostery are variably outdated versions of Firefox, and Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Bromite, and Smooz are just Chrome.
