About NinjaNot as politically engaged as I would like. I'm quite glad the Internet provided me with forms of activism and political participation while allowing me to develop my daily activities. I do believe we are going through convoluted times but I see light in the end. Other than that I'm a technology enthusiast and I'd love to spend much more money trying new stuff! |

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?
Re: Re:
Ah yes, I also think protocols but even then, how do you moderate? With protocols it might be even more challenging.

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?

Try to subvert the Constitution until it works out. ICE motto.

Gotta love when these idiots leave tons of money on the table because of their greed to control every penny.

File sharing to the rescue. If they don't offer any official way to listen to the music then sharing is legitimate.

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.
Re:
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.
Re: Obvious
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
Those in charge
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.

"if we genuinely cared about U.S. data privacy and security"
If we genuinely cared about children safety and development; if we genuinely cared about people dignity and basic well-being (the charity folks), if we genuinely cared about..........
It's a series of hypocrisies that forms the country. And the US is not alone in it.
Re: Re: Format
This as well. If it converts to date it's actually saving as a number.
Re: Format
When you have large data sets this may be quite annoying. It should be the other way around, if you want Excel to treat stuff as dates then you tell it and it converts things otherwise it should treat cells with numbers as plain numbers and cells with text as text.
