When we talk about defunding the police this is precisely what we are talking about. It's using resources in much more productive, effective and peaceful solutions.
Infrastructure should be provided by the Government. You can allow private investment but the Government should keep at the very least basic disaster proof infrastructure because disaster-proofing any network is not profitable. Much lioke taking that infrastructure coverage to remote areas or otherwise non-profitable areas for whatever reason.
The right operates in a "less is more" logic as if the private sector is going to do everything efficiently and altruistically but it will not. And the US is a prime example of it in many, many aspects. The power grid in Texas is just one example but here in TD we often read about how dysfunctional the broadband market is. And how incradibly bad and expensive the coverage is.
You can always count on copyright to come with ideas to screw what's working just fine. What an utterly dumb idea. It'd be interesting to follow this and see how the community reacts to this extortion attempt.
I mean, the protocol approach could whitstand coordinated efforts like the ones we've seen with trump end effectively stop the fake news botnet before contaminating the users to a share that could make the protocol think it's good speech?
If moderation is basically impossible without collateral damage, the absence of it has shown its huge problems for the last 4 years (and more for those who were paying attention). Damned if you moderate, damned if you don't. And I'm not even talking about Facebook here, it's the society as a whole who is facing this dilemma. I'm inclined to say it's been worse without it. At least it is clear to me that lies, public health attacks (anti-vax for instance) need to be contained as much as possible. What isn't clear is how you do it without heavy casualties.
One thing would be to err to the side of caution therefore hitting quite a few legitimate speech while providing reliable means of requesting human review. Thousands of bots won't be able to request human review and won't be able to interact with human reviewers, at least not now. This could also serve as some sort of "karma" system where accounts that are punished by mistake are less likely to be flagged in future incidents, it becomes more and more trusted.
This idea has its flaws and I'm sure it could be improved. But my point is: yes, moderation at scale is impossible but needs to be done and will incur in collateral damage. What can we do to lessen such problems?
So when is he going to jail for inciting the death of another human being? There's a clear line of a nobody like me saying out of spite that I'd like to shoot somneone and a public person suggesting it seriously.
This. There's a ton of independent creators that would gladly work with game devs for much less draconian licensing terms. Let the MAFIAA drown in their own greed.
Do judges get any of these forfeiture money? I would understand the cops doing it but judges? I'd guess it's either "I don't follow the developments of my own warrants" or "geez, it returned blank results 95 fucking percent of the time but hey, better safe than sorry" but I don't know how the money flows there
Am I the only one believing those in charge who let such widespread rights violation by neglecting oversight should also receive some harsh punishment and be completely forbidden from working to the government ever again?
"from the stopped-clocks,-twice-a-day dept" was a very apt short description. But if Pai was a clock he would probably succeed in being right once a day even being stopped. Quantum cronyism.
"Of course, this raises a shit ton of questions. Going back to the original issue, why is the White House even forcing this sale in the first place?"
This should be the only question being asked. Everything else is playing into the tactics. And if Trump succeeds it will open a precedent. Imagine China forcing any US company with stuff in their territory to sell the operations to a local company? Yeah, it will happen.
Seriously US, vote this piece of crap out. Even if Biden is the direct result of the D's sabotaging Sanders it's way better than the orange stooge.
