Well sure, ChatGPT will spew out whatever looks like what it had ever saw on the internet, it doesn't have any magical properties that would allow it to reason about, it doesn't do virtue signalling as it has no concept of virtue

Has the US ever bombed a country with a GOOD air defense? Aerial warfare (which is the US doctrine) is hard to conduct when there is a proper air defense. I'll be happy to be proven wrong by a specific example.

Oh, "tone deaf", nice. Everything is a "tone", a "narrative", a "propaganda" these days, ugh. Well sorry for being an individual and not singing in unison. > And /on top of that/, the fac

My point is that YouTube could have just geoblocked the content and be fully compliant. Everything beyond that is kinda their own initiative.

Can they though? Because they actually can't. They can only regulate the content accessible from India IPs or hosted on their territory. Everything beyond this is YouTube's own doing, really.

I feel like it's only the part with generic nginx 5xx error that sets the bar a bit too high. Too many huge services suffer from the same sin.

Ugh, this is boring. Not everything is a narrative and not every omitted fact or forgotten nuance visible from a perspective of a local is "apologism". Back again, kinda hard to act friendly when people are so systemically discrim

That is a very wishful assessment of my identity, ironically given that I've never ever even discussed quantum mechanics on HN. But yeah, I do act bashing when discussing politics. Do you feel this is somehow undeserved? I don't r

To be fair, it's not like people leave the western segment of the internet much, even when other national "internets" are not isolated from the rest of the network. Who has ever tried visiting any ru-net platforms, for exampl

What surprises me is that these kind of thing often get treated as "all or nothing". Why remove it, instead of a geo block? 451 HTTP code is a thing. Stories like that always make me think that this is always some kind of a politi

I love how people downvote this, avoiding asking themselves some tough questions and giving a straight answer. This is not a rhetorical question: how and why do people think they have this right?

No, that's not correct. The king of England has the right of Consent (as far as I understand, King's consent to bills is required), along with the veto right. That's the idea of a functional constitutional monarchy: the long-

Why do "we" (you) even think you have the right to meddle with other countries on the other side of the planet, despite an overwhelming evidence of so many instances of it going clusterfuck wrong? What kind of chauvinism is that?

Well that is definitely not true. Even if you have a team of various skill that is ready to work for free (including finance, legal and design), you still need funds for marketing, hosting, etc.

The real problem with cloudflare is the fact that it is the single centralized TLS terminator. Not for a second will I believe that there is no eavesdropping - the temptation is just too high. IMO, the real threat to open internet is our cu
