Well, I agree that moderation is useful for communities. I disagree that moderation standards should be defined by a regulator. On reddit, different communities have different moderation policies. Same for various chat groups. And there are

Well, for the audience of Russian highly regulated TV, news sites and social networks, the invasion of Ukraine was necessary because the poor neighbour was suffering under a regime of “actual self-described Neo-Nazis”. Russian Ministry of

I think the terms “Nazi”, “terrorist” and “propaganda” won’t help you, if you want to have a complex view of the world.

Using two 32 bit numbers for coordinates, each record would take 8 bytes, which is 64 gigabytes for 8 billion population. Don’t think many smartphones have this RAM today.

I understand your sentiment, but I don’t agree that these workshops are of no consequence for the engineers who “do the real job”. These meetings will decide how many servers you’ll be able to rent and what headcount will you get.

uupdump.net, a site for downloading official Windows ISO files, seems to be taken over by Microsoft.

Well, true, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Too little transparency to public for this amount of power. Maybe you can say instead that executive branch is too powerful by inference, and special services are just their instrument projectin

UN should be reformed, of course. What I meant was more like a world-wide WMD ban, some multilateral agreement, and I used UN more as a proxy of “international level”.

God I hate security agencies of all kinds. Lots of power and zero accountability. They should be regulated by some UN-level treaty or banned entirely.

Yeah, I was describing a perspective of a russia-born person who never actually travelled to the western hemisphere and whose knowledge of South American countries are formed by ambient osmosis, not active research. I know that no South Ame

Argentina on the first glance would look “safe” to me, as South American nations seem in general not very pro-US. Live and learn, I guess. TIL that all South American countries have these extradition agreements. I feel bad for the arreste

I understand your sentiment. I think it would be more appropriate to say that “the world” should react, not “the West”. And its world’s business if some country unilaterally declares other’s country part as theirs. Although I think the worl

You can argue that, but this would already be more deep analysis than described in your parent. I heard this take several times, and it’s basically “harry is a wizard, i. e. a superhero capable of anything, therefore, millenials want to gai

Maybe the reason is that is a command-line utility written in JS? This is quite normal today, but in 2013 it might be shocking for some people. I think there’s still some hate towards JS now, and in 2013 it definitely was much more rampant.

Can you perhaps sell this as an automated/smart Obsidian? Personal knowledge bases are all the rage now, see a recent discussion of Obsidian 1.0.

Wait, what are the other options? How do they do identification without IDs in other countries? I heard that you can use driver’s license as an ID in the US, but isn’t it issued based on an actual ID? And not everyone can drive, no matter h
