Manufacturing consent online is dependent on the rules of the game. Russian-bot-syndrome is a fraud issue, in this case a state actor manipulating the 1-person-1-voice assumption of the game. If we're making a marketplace metaphor, the

Guy's arguing that there are still benefits to applying security boundaries within execution envs which are vulnerable to spectre memory reads since it would limit the ability to exfiltrate. (There was a variant which could write to me

GP's point comes off like an argument against pro-maskers which makes the point disingenuous. Their criticism is that scientific discussion stopped when the topic became politicized, but they're taking a political shot at the same

To take the religion analogy further, I think people use information, not just to support views they want to hold, but to organize. Q anon is a community. The accuracy of the information is much less relevant than the membership and the mis

Completely agree. The term "experts" in that context frustrates me -- and I think you're highlighting this with "so called" -- because I want experts who actually fulfill that role responsibly. The only expertise wh

People rally around symbols. That's why this is an issue right now; the US has a movement of white nationalists rallying around that picture.

Do you find the Paradox of Intolerance to be a dangerous idea? The premise is that maximalist tolerance means tolerating intolerant ideas, and that there's a risk that a movement of intolerance can form which destroys the culture of to

It's newsworthy because there's a pretty significant debate occurring in the US about how private companies can moderate speech in their spaces. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is being actively relitigated by both p

Had to look it up. It's another social media play like Gab that uses "free speech" to mean "pro alt right." Every one of their product screenshots is of a pro-Trump story. EDIT: https://parler.com/au

Browser monopoly led lots of devs to learn JS, then NodeJS showed that lots of devs want to keep using JS. It's actually possible for people to like it. Also, languages are always a function of their ecosystems. You could argue, remove

Technically we can choose news by any metric we want depending on what we want, but I'd prefer the results reflect some combination of accuracy, reputability, importance, and interest. Whatever Facebook's current algorithm is doin

People like to rip on YouTube for the recent child-protections but there was some dark shit going on, stuff like uploading Peppa Pig videos spliced with NSFL footage. The youths love YouTube, you can't take that lightly.

I think the situation is more complex than you're asserting. Unless a program has stopped development, it is not a product -- it is an ongoing work that's more akin to a service being provided by the developers. UI changes, bugfix

We're focusing on the protocol's capabilities and performance right now. Distributed or non-distributed proxies are on the roadmap, but not the current priority. We aren't for everyone and the current lack of IP privacy is a

Really sorry about breaking your old apps. If you ping me on twitter (@pfrazee) or IRC, I can spend some time helping you convert them over. Most of the same capabilities are there (or on the way) so we'll hopefully just need to update

It's pointless to quibble about what POTUS is getting at. He clearly intends to claim "mail-in voting is fraudulent." The question of whether it's a lie has more to do with whether his claim is accurate.

I think we're trapped in a structural innovation problem. Social media, no matter how it started, is now the pipeline for information. The internet is displacing old media forms but stalling out on that development. The system is stuck

These really good observations. One thing that made me appreciate the _current_ ipad a little more is my recent experience with MS's Surface which is an explicit tablet/desktop hybrid. There is a lot I like about what MS is doing,

Just replied there - Beaker uses Hyperdrive, it's basically the source of its novel features. The Beaker team works on Hyperdrive (the Hypercore Protocol) but we maintain a separate org at https://github.com/hypercore-p
