I think they'd get a bigger bang for their buck by paying "influencers" and personalities than by paying those companies for placement.

I think it's more that "fake news" is a subset of propaganda. Propaganda can be fake news. But it can also be actual facts.

It's annoying because people seem to polarize and pick one side or the other which complicates the fact that the truth is more of a mixture. Russia was hacking and using computational propaganda. But that doesn't mean it was targe

The spam had nothing to do with not using Javascript. I could easily have added a CAPTCHA or required accounts.

Overloading it was failing. But the spam was too much (it was posting so fast you couldn't read anything). I meant for this to just be a fun example of noscript updates so I'm probably not going to add captcha/IP filtering or

Thanks. There's a subtle trick where new comments (from streamed updates) have a CSS animation but comments from the page reload don't. It seems to make it feel more seamless.

That's not true. I allowed b, u, i for a while but people kept not closing them so even those are disabled.

It's being flooded with spam now. This is why we can't have nice things. Anyway, it was just a proof of concept. The spam could be blocking using some captcha or registration if necessary.

Presumably you'll eventually write something rather than lurking for hours and then it'll refresh.

by wybiral 9y ago
It's not using meta refresh. The content is streaming.

The POST requests do refresh the page for the poster. But not for the viewers. For everyone else it just streams the HTML to them using chunked encoding. It's written in Golang and hosted on a free Heroku instance. I'll probably u

by wybiral 9y ago
Correct. It's a small Golang server that keeps the connection alive with chunked transfer encoding. From the browser's perspective it's like a really slowly loading page. The connection count is updated by sending some inline

Ah, good to know. I love the idea behind IPFS but it just doesn't feel mature enough yet. The documentation, examples, consistent APIs, etc, don't seem very solidified.

Yeah, the nodes connect via IP addresses. You could proxy it through Tor or something though.

Doesn't "misleading or deceptive promotional practices" generally apply to the entire business model of an advertisement platform disguised as a social network?

We wouldn't have to take care of it. Could just seed and let life do its thing. But to me the real "should we?" is because it might destroy evidence of other events. Maybe there are simple organisms hiding somewhere or some p

Doesn't Google downplay non-HTTPS sites, which older ones probably will be. Also, maybe it's just part of the algorithm that people tend to search for recent pages more often than old ones.

And the concerns of bias in the algorithm could still be there. As would the fear of hacking. Neither seem as big of an issue as flat-out intentional gerrymandering and could be mitigated by open review process. But it's unprecedented

It's not just self control. The amount of money companies spend to feed disinformation in journals, advertisement, and to dominate shelf space makes for less educated people to be easily exploited.

There are industry giants who profit from you over-consuming certain things. So that side of the "war" is just built into our markets. Getting people to change their behavior takes active counter-balancing.

I just meant as a solution to the fact that people can typosquat or jack a name when a package is deleted. If the developers can't get the hash right then there's not much that can be done.
