Yeah all those dumb secretaries, presidents, senators and the people who work for them, they really ought to be reading more HN to learn about how things work. Unless of course any company whose viability materially depends on Section 230 p

Well for one it's a super expensive country and the cost of doing business is huge, but we aren't talking about general business-friendliness rather about a very specific set of legal protections provided by Section 230 enabling

And I suppose you have done research on the Irish legal system, its liability protections for 3rd party content providers, its jurisprudence on hate speech, defamation and libel ? (hint: it's part of the EU)

Pray tell where should such a company go ?

I think this is the natural expectation of anyone familiar with spreadsheets, reporting tools or data grids with sortable column headers, but a message along the lines of "Sorting results of the previous query, click 'Run SQL&#x27

The UI needs to be such so as to make the users understand that by clicking a column header they would be sorting the results of a previous query rather than re-running it with a different sort column and that the two are not generally inte

Having to rerun the query and reload the page just to change the sort order on a small dataset is very 1997

'code' would be the code of whatever kernel is in use and 'sql' would a notebook-level feature like 'markdown' is today.

Alternatively: a new type of cell in jupyter itself alongside 'code' and 'markdown' for sql work available regardless of kernel choice.

by seemslegit 6y ago
Cool hack, but probably wouldn't install a separate kernel or run an entire notebook just for sqlite work. What would be useful is for the kernel of your language of choice to provide a magic for sqlite and return results of queries in

Hmm apparently Devin Wenig was the CEO of a Reuters division about a decade ago.

How is this not front-page national news ?

How are they planning to decide which outlet is state-owned ? Friend-of-Putin Times will happily represent that it is 100% privately owned company that is privately owned by someone who just happens be good friends with Putin.

Making this about racism is a self-serving distraction for many. This is about unaccountable abuse of power - something that Apple as a trillion-dollar gorilla is no stranger to.

Not saying it is cut-and-dry, but atm the users doesn't get to make that tradeoff for themselves - signal made it on their behalf when it could have allowed the users to choose on activation to which of their contacts they wish to be

Not the only, but 1970s-1980s had a real crime emergency, the 2000s didn't nearly as much.

"We" didn't ask them to be any of these things, especially soldiers - this is power that they actively pushed for, there was no crime wave in the early 2000s when the militarization of police began in full swing - just a post
